I have tried three times to join a local gym. Believe it or not, my three attempts have been unsuccessful. you wouldn't think it would be so hard, but apparently this gym owner doesn't care much about adding members. I plan to try again this week.
I spent St Patrick's Day evening in a bar listening to a friend's band play while I drank beer and pretended not to have a migraine. They were way loud and had lots of flashing lights set up which periodically hit me dead in the eyes and set off a migraine that didnt quit until well into the following day.
Since I mentioned my troubles updating a PC with Windows Service Pack 3, I thought I'd update that with the latest. I managed to download the whole service pack file for burning to CD. Or at least Windows seemed to insist that it was a CD burner file. That frustrated me for awhile until finally I opned the file using Notepad. This caused it to run, finally, and update the operating system to service pack 3. It took all freakin' night, but now it's done.
I'm trying to adjust to my new surroundings and situation. I'm trying to learn to blog using my cell phone, too. This is my first attempt at it.
I hope you had a good St Patrick's Day.

Sunday, Must Be Funday
It's Sunday afternoon, its dark and raining outside, and I've just wasted my entire afternoon trying to get Windows service pack 3 to download and install on this computer.
It hasn't encouraged me at all to discover through internet searches that a great many users of Microsoft Windows have experienced the exact same problem that I have, what with the file downloading for an hour and then simply disappearing without installing at all.
It hasn't encouraged me at all to read of users who managed to install it successfully only to have their computers begin running like a tired of piece of crap when just prior to installing the service pack their machines ran fine.
It isn't helpful that I need to go to the bathroom and drop a load for about half of the time I've been fighting this battle. I'm stubborn. I can't just walk away. I sat here and waited for the download to complete so I could do the install. I want to know where the hell it went and why it won't install.
I want to throw this computer across the room, drive to Seattle and walk into Microsoft headquarters and punch every programmer I find in the face.
I am not having a fun Sunday.
