ON SATURDAY I finally bought The Laptop. From Staples. The first unit was dead out of the box. When it booted for the first time there was nothing to see except the Purple And Green Stripes Of Death. The second unit worked fine, but I'm still not sure what the hell is so great about Windows 7. On the other hand, I believe that Vista is ok and have never recognized any bugs in its operation.
ON SUNDAY I tried to connect it to the router. Dude Boy took that moment to reveal that he had accidentally pulled out a cable too quickly last year. Nobody was home so he hammered all the loose metal bits flat. Two of the four ports are now blocked. Oh well because I can't even get internet on the laptop yet unless I plug it directly into the modem. So instead I watched The Matrix.
SUNDAY NIGHT I had a dream that I was doing the ecosystem project from grade 7 for bleepingprogram Night in grade 12. The ecosystem project, in both the dream and real life cases, consisted of smallish fish in a fish tank. I installed the fish tank into the wall and watched the fish gasped at the surface of the water, rolled over, and died. Then I lost my sandal in the rows of chairs in the caf during chair setup.
I don't remember the after party because it never happened.
Afterwards I was running through the kindie playground and the nonexistent janitor secret passages at my elementary school. I was holding a plastic bag and a gust of wind blew me up to the 1st floor roof over the intermediate doors, where there was a party. I jumped again and the wind blew me to the 2nd floor roof, where there was another party. I jumped once more and figured out that I could use the handles of the bag to steer my flight path. When I landed I realized that my plastic bag was a mesh fruit bag completely unsuited to flying, and woke up.
