new years was good. went to the party at missi's house, and it was quite fun. a board game or two and some alcohol will loosen up anyone's slightly odd group of friends. laur and i stayed at missi's till around 3, then drove the three blocks or whatever back to my mom's house and slept here (ie, two double beds in my room vs the floor at missi's). on new years day, we were so freakin' lazy we slept in (laur till 10:30, me till noon) and then sat around with my parents watching the twilight zone-a-thon on the scifi channel all damn day in our pajamas. it was nice. a good start to the new year, even though i felt a bit queasy all day from being up late the night before (as if my feeling a little nauseated is out of the ordinary or anything).
i miss jorn.
okay, going to try (AGAIN) to install the damned harry potter game. i got an email back from the help center dood, although not addressing the issue of HOW TO TURN OFF THE DAMNED ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM. hello, that's what i said the problem was in my original message, thanks, could you respond to that instead of giving me explicit directions on how to copy files to my hard drive? but it gave me a few ideas of things to try, at least. sigh.
the heater broke here at our house, on new years eve no less. it made a horrific growling sound. instead of just calling up and insisting that the repair guy come out right away, my dad chose to rig up something to make the thing work again until the guy could come out today (thursday). i didn't really care, but my mom was all rrwrr about it. and of course the thing slipped or broke again or just evaded my dad's care to continue making the horrible noise periodically, and every time it did, my mom would get all rrwrrly again. so the repair guy was supposed to come at 1pm today. instead, he rings the doorbell and wakes me up at 10:30. now, this is not too big of an issue, since i was here all day for the express purpose of letting this guy in. but what if i had gone shopping in the morning or something, or what if i wasn't here at all and my dad was coming home on his lunch break to let the guy in? it just seemed like a sort of shitty way to do it, you know? early was fine since i was here anyway, but if i hadn't been here, what would he have done? just come back later? sigh.
tonight: go over to vinnie's house and then to the movies. The Two Towers again. i'm psyched.
i spent the past few days reading some terry goodkind books. numbers 2 and 3 in the sword of truth series. there's like three more books, but i'm at a good stopping place right now, so i probably shouldn't continue. i mean, the world *was* about to end, but richard saved it again, so it's all good for now. i'll read the rest of them in may when i'm allowed to read whatever i want again. (if i tried to read the others now, i'd spend the next two weeks all caught up in them and then i'd be behind planning for my thesis reading. sigh. i can't wait till grad school is done.)
i'll be back in greensboro on sunday night, 1/5/03. woot.
