uberreinigerI know I keep saying this, but damn I'm tired. I can't wait for this week to be over. I really should have planned this better. Our refrigerator is bare and I don't have time to go grocery shopping until Sunday.
I wanted to get to bed early today, but instead spent the morning wrestling angrily with the computer. For some reason I can't understand, my Norton Anti Virus program decided to explode last night and I keep getting a message which says to uninstall it and reinstall it. But when I do so via add/remove programs and then reinstall, I get the same set of problems. I guess the program must be completely and hopelessly corrupted somehow. The company's website says to uninstall it their way using a special process, but when I do I can't because it requires installing something called an ActiveX control on my computer, which Windows screams at me when I try to do. If I knew what it was or why I shouldn't install it that would help. Anyway, so now I'm stuck with security software I can't get rid of and can't re-install. And running without virus software isn't an option, as I'm sure everyone knows.
On the bright side, Mel further proved her love for me today by driving very far through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered to pick up my copy of Exalted 2nd Edition from the game store while I slept. Now I have anime roleplay goodness to keep me company on the long cold nights.
As much as I bitch about not getting rest, it looks like I might be setting myself up for it all over again. My director told me about a paying gig which is holding auditions early next week. I don't know many of the particulars save that it's an original play and the playwright will be involved in the production. It's only got a cast of two men and one woman, so the odds are slim I'd get cast, but I may as well try. Paid gigs are theoretically what I'm supposed to be doing with my life and education anyway. I'll know more once he e-mails me the information.
