The Extent Of The Damage Part I

 Well, on my old comp, the one that got soaked with soda, part of the damage report is in. Both drives, both of my 233 gigabyte hard drives, GONE. 466 gigs of stuff I NEVER wanted to lose, including pics of my KIDS that I can never replace, gone.

The motherboard seems to be okay, as well as the video card… and for now I am getting a new 233 gig HD. As for the damage to the rest of the systems… well, we shall see

P.S. I am on another round of antibiotics for my cellulitis. I still have mass swelling and pain to the touch to both legs below the knee, but for the most part the infection is gone. Sadly, my right foot is still hot to the touch which means the infection is still raging there. Oh well.

And I continue to take my methadone for pain. As well as gabapentin for chronic pain, baclofen for muscle spasms, 800 mgs of ibuprofen 3 times a day for pain and anti-inflammatory affect… Sigh.

I Watch The Lifetime Channel, Actually

Cyanide & Happiness @ Explosm.net

But this is what I have always felt about the channel. “Lifetime: The Socially Acceptable Violence Channel For Women”.

December Is A Suck Month Part II

I am still recovering on the tail-end of another bout of cellulitis. So happy day. Pain, swelling in BOTH legs this time, delerium (I always have THAT, now it’s worse )…

Sigh. One day I will be healthy.

And Rudy is recovering, we hope, from pneumonia. Again. Sigh.

My Current Machine

is a 2 ghz machine. AMD athlon 2800++ processor. 448 megs RAM. 100 gig HD. Slow as FUCK because of the shitty amount of ram. WinXP machine.

My machine that died was a 2 ghz machine. AMD 3200++ fx64 processor. 2 gigs RAM. 2 233 gig HDs. Fucking ruled.

For Xmas, Rudy has said he will get me my computer fixed.

Le sigh.

I cannot believe my computer is dead.

December Is Turning Out To Be A Suck Month As Well.

I say this because this morning, my cat jumped onto my desk/writing table. He does this all the time. I even have his food dish on top of the table, next to my monitor, so that I can per him as he eats.

Today, I happened to have an open soda bottle in just the right place.

He’s always crashed into stuff, knocked things down, etc etc etc. Things go on the floor all the time.  Disks, pill bottles, important things and hunks of junk.

Today, I had an open soda bottle. As I always do.

Thunk, he landed in place. Just like always. Normal. Things crashing everywhere. As per normal.

Except for that open soda bottle. Just in the right place.

The bottle crashed to the side. Rgese are basically torpedoes. 67 fluid ounces in a large bottle. 2 liters.  Open.

Bloosh. Foaming soda. Never happened like this before. Spraying out the top. Running across the top of the desk in a dark carbonated river. Off the edge of the desk.

Have I ever mentioned that I keep my main computer on the floor (raised up on a tray so it doesn’t sit on the carpet) to the side of my desk/writing table? To the left side?

Where the soda was running off to, cascading in a delicious cola waterfall?

The sodafall was spraying downward and landing on the vent on the top of the computer.

I hit the power button. That was beneath a cardboard cat-proof cover so the cat couldn’ti nadvertently step on it as he has done in the past. 4 second wait.

Etc etc etc. FInally the comp shuts down.

It’s broke. Dead.

Fuck. I’m using my older WinXP machine. 448 megs RAM.

Fuck.
