Current Music: The Pointer Sisters – “I’m So Excited”

Hotmail will still not let me send mail. SIGH! Not through Outlook and not through the website… in fact, the website won’t even let me log in, not even if I try to trick it by accessing my Inbox through MSN Messenger. Yet I can still receive mail through Outlook. There’s definitely still something wrong with the Internet here. I can’t see the counter at the bottom of this page either (although you guys probably can, because D says he can), I can't view my guestbook, and I can’t load anything that involves logging in – no Hotmail, no Bravenet, no ESPN, etc. Yet, for some inexplicable reason, Comcast seems unaffected – proven by the fact that you’re seeing this post right now. I can log in, edit files, whatever I want. WEIRD.

Random annoyance: and the version of “Miss Independent” (Kelly Clarkson) that’s circulating on Kazaa is corrupted. They keep airing that music video over here, therefore it’s stuck in my head and I’ve tried to download about 15 different ones and they all start buzzing after about 15 seconds. (And no, THAT’s not my computer, because other songs download fine.) If anyone has that mp3 on their hard drive in good condition, can you send it to me through MSN Messenger? (If my computer deigns to let me even do THAT… *zucht*)

No real plans for today… we’ve got to go to the supermarket AGAIN (we’re still ending up there every two days) and the Croatian girls are giving a party in their apartment tonight – guess we ‘opened the floodgates’, zeg maar, with that thing the other night. And then tomorrow we’re having dinner with M, and then Monday Boswell starts! Woohoo! After all the planning and frustration and e-mails… we finally made it!
