Somehow this computer kept crashing today, taking out my latest post, some email, and probably some stuff in my sister’s site. Every time the computer was rebooted it would seem fine until something related to NFS would lock up the computer. Well, here’s a picture of the crash screen:

Whatever. The biggest problem is probably that the hundreds of knit bloggers who visit my sister’s web site were greeted with nothing but timeouts today.

OK, so yesterday’s post — the one that is now off in la-la-land — was my complaint that I don’t get any presents. I don’t tend to give many presents, either, or so my sister will say. Probably my ex-girlfriend as well, but I didn’t have a job when we were going out and I did pay for dinner, etc. Maybe I’m just cheap.

My sister says it’s because I’m a pain-in-the-ass but she’s the one who steals my parents’ car and stays out all day with her friends, trapping them at home. So I suppose it’s the pain-in-the-ass who gets more gifts.

Anyway, an acquaintance went to Europe, and she got me this:

I think it’s because of the label that says it’s “Extra Suave.”

And my mom reminded me that I didn’t just get underwear, she got me a reflective sash and some cotton gloves!

(I’m not modelling the underwear.)

And my friend went to India for a couple of months and she gave me a picture! And it was even an emailed picture!

Hell, I don’t remember what else I had to say yesterday but I’ve been obsessing about all the coffee and tea stains on my teeth. I could always cut those out of my diet, but then I’d get fired for sleeping at work all the time.

So that’s a gross picture but who cares? All I have are some tissues, new underwear, cotton gloves, and a reflective sash. I’m going to have to count that as my 40th birthday presents and my Xmas presents unless I buy myself something. I should probably save some of the underwear and call it my 41st birthday present since that’s coming up in a few months and I’m not expecting anything else. Well, they got me a cake at work. Almost makes up for how little they pay me.
