Saturday, 28 May 2011 07:50 pmToday I played Mass Effect, had my computer crash on me, lost most of that morning's progress in Mass Effect, rebooted it, installed updates, rebooted it again, washed my car, spent twenty minutes in CVS for absolutely no reason, bought a laptop bag and a wireless mouse, ran the grocery store gauntlet, put gas in my car, got McDonald's, went to my dad's, watched a baseball game, watched Star Trek IV, listened to some music, came home, installed the mouse, and spent ten minutes looking for things I should have but cannot find.
And then I wrote that sentence. That is what my day has been like.
My new mouse tracks really quickly and I can't change it. I'm kind of afraid to play Mass Effect with it like that, but I figure I'll eventually get used to it. (Although, maybe if I actually downloaded and installed the software that goes with it I could probably, you know, change how fast it tracks. But why would I try that? It would only make sense. Disclaimer: It's actually installing as I write this.)
So I've started taking my laptop to school with me, right? But basically all I've used it for is watching Farscape and playing Mass Effect. The first time I played around with GIMP a little, but the USB cord on my tablet is really long and kind of annoying, so... (That's actually why I went out and bought a wireless mouse - the USB cord on the one I got from Jacob is really long, too.) Of course, having to tote everything around in a one-compartment messenger bag was pretty annoying, too... But now that I've got an actual laptop bag with about a million compartments things should be a bit easier. Hell, I might even be able to fit my precal book in there, too, and then I can actually do homework again! (Although the bag would probably weigh like eight pounds if I did, since my laptop isn't exactly light... plus I'm graduating in like three weeks, so I don't really care about precal. Not that I ever cared about precal, of course.)
Anyway, I'm off to regain some of that Mass Effect progress. It froze up right as I finished the Feros mission... D: I hope the game autosaved, otherwise I have to redo basically the entire mission.
edit: And then I found out it autosaved almost right where I was when it froze. I am so glad I never turned that feature off! :D
