Computer Savvy? Not I.

A drink update in case you were curious...

I went damn near my entire Christmas break sans alcohol. (23rd of December through the 4th of January = 13 v-e-r-y l-o-n-g d-a-y-s) This is an accomplishment, my friends. It is. It is. Nearly two whole weeks without so much as a shot. Totally, completely, absolutly, perfectly, downright SOBER as I brought in the New Year. (This turned out to be one of the smarter decisions I have made in this lifetime).

Once I got back to Tacoma, I successfully abstained for about 24 hours, then split a bottle of wine with Mer and Spencer. True to "Kara Logic," I took that as failure and figured, what the hell, already fucked that one up, whats another drink?

So yes, I had a beer with Mer this evening, and went back to the apartment to find.... WindowsXP on my doorstep. Brought it indoors and immediately poured myself a drink. Anything computer-related and I immediately admit defeat. Its not even a good fight, I just hang my head and give my white flag a half-assed flutter. I hate dealing with this stuff.

Yep, here I am. Desperately calling my brother,
Me: "It says I should back up the important information on my computer before I do anything else... is that really important?"
Mike: "If you have anything important on your computer, yeah, its important."
Me: "Shit, well, how do I do that."
Mike: *sigh*

Just me... drinking my drink, backing up my HD, installing Windows. (And if the gods give me the green light, I will even have a functioning printer by the end of the week.)

Here goes nothing, wish me luck!
