my computer's not going without a fight

Damn this thing. It won’t let go of my files. I’m trying to transfer my precious files over to my roommate’s server before I give the hard drive a clean sweep but it won’t loosen its grip. I swear it’s pissed off at me for neglecting it for so long. I was able to get about 3 gigs worth of Word files, Aeon Flux episodes, and The Office episodes over to his computer before it wigged out and refused to reconnect. It won’t even recognize his computer’s existence. Just an hour ago it was merrily transferring files over; but now, noooooooo, it has no freaking clue a humongous server with lots of free disk space is sitting right here waiting to store all my mp3s and whatnot. Damn technology. Finicky and unpredictable. Sounds like women.

Ok that last one came out of pure frustration. Sorry for the jibe. Computers still piss me off. Especially mine.

I started reading the Lance Armstrong book. Good story so far. I’m glad he got a co-writer. Homeboy Lance can ride a bike, but he ain’t no Tolstoy.
