all around update
May. 17th, 2010 07:38 amI'm still here, still reading as much as I can, but I'm trying to get my system back the way I like it. also, still trying to make a bootable for 10.4. ubuntu, and still failing, apparently. also also the actual physical frame of my laptop has pretty much collapsed. the hinges are fucked, I can't usually close it, I have cables snaking out, if it isn't leaning on something, it falls open and lays flat, and I have quite the collection of little plastic bits that have sheared off this fucker.
the party was great and drama free. amazing. well, not entirely drama free, and pobo got a nice injury at the start of the party, but it was all good. too much sugar was had by all.
This post is taking a long ass time, because I'm watching buffy in the background and it's an ep with NEKKID SPIKE.
having some drama re trying to stay friends with the rest of the family where the dad went ape shit on hq. if I have to pretend I'm okay with that guy in order to keep the rest of the friendships, tough shit. it sucks because both my kids are tight wth their kids, but there is a limit to how much shit I will suck up to keep friends for my kids. my kids have other friends, who don't have assholes for parents.
While delivering home the sleepover kids, my friend had a family member over, and they were talking about seeing korn last night, and that he got free tickets to see some other bands this week, including the deftones, on weds, but didn't have a ride to milwaukee. Z has recently gotten into deftones harder, and has thursday off work, so I talked to dude, and Z gets to go out to a proper concert for the first time in several years. I get extra wife points for that shit. and i figure I'll be trading in those wife points by ditching him with the kids all the extra hours of wiscon weekend. which, OMGHOLYFUCKINGFUCK, COUNTDOWN TO WISCON LIKE A MOTHERFUCK.
Hey, it's even actually 5 things
