Need more sleep.

Dear Brain,

I went to bed early. Lights out, in bed, snoozing away.

I was being good.

Why do you insist on only letting me get a couple of hours of sleep? I'm tired. See? Yawning.

I know there's stress. It will get better soon.

Stop with the nightmares about tornados and moving, and packing rooms of furniture and crap that doesn't exist. It's getting old.

I've had it. Let me sleep or I'm going on strike.

No love,

Me

P.S. That last dream about the pretty boys in cowboy hats a la a certain upcoming movie? That one you can rerun anytime.

Men suck.

My husband is a fucking ass.

That is all.

My computer first date.

To continue the theme of the evening, let me tell you a little tale.

My computer sucks. I leave it running all the time, because to reboot it takes forever. I don't know why, it's been acting like this for some time now. It can literally take 30 minutes to finish booting. I am not technologically savvy enough to dig around and try to figure this out. Husband is, but when I tell him about these things, he just looks at me blankly. Thanks, dear.

So. Let me paint a little picture for you, of installing software.

It is not unlike a really bad first date.

Things start out well. A decent meal, a fine glass of wine, maybe a movie.

Welcome to iPod updater. Would you like to install this software? Click Yes to continue.

There's a little hand-holding, maybe a kiss after the flick.

iPod updater will be installed in the following folder. Is this okay? Click Next to continue.

Things seem to be progressing nicely. A little slap and tickle, a touch here, a kiss there.

Please wait while iPod updater installs the following files on your computer.

Proceed to the bedroom, because hey, things are going swell!

iPod updater has completed the instalation process. Press Finish to exit.

Clothes come off...

Your computer must be rebooted to finish the installation. You can reboot now, or choose not to use your computer again until the computer has been rebooted.

Wait wait wait! Where did that ball-gag and table leg come from?! CRAP!

And it's actually more like a blind date? Because you never know which piece of software you install is going to make you reboot.

So endeth the story.
