ANGEL MISSED PRUDIE.

OOH, IT'S AN ANGEL CREATURE! JAMES, CAN I KEEP HER FOR A PET? PLEAAAAASE?

some people are just overly paranoid, especially little old ladies.

I know, right?

Good thing I know not to click on obvious scams.

Cellphone ISP becoming slower than slow. Wouldn't connect to 3G network, keeps falling back to 2G EDGE.

Almost all sites are unusable :/

That's great!

However, virus makers are getting around that if one uses Safari. (I know you prefer Opera though ) There is this option in the preferences that says "Open "safe" files after downloading". That means malware makers can install fake anti-virus programs automatically, and you don't have to click on anything.

Malware can even infest well known respected websites with hacked banner advertisements. That website I was going to belonged to an internet reviewer named "Phelous", who reviews bad horror films. Normally, his website is very safe, except that night I tried going there and a hacked banner advertisement tried sending me to a malware website through JavaScript code or something. Luckily, Safari was able to stop Lilly from getting infected. If Safari didn't though, and the site automatically downloaded the malware without clicking on anything, it would automatically open up and install if "Open "safe" files for downloading" was checked. Granted, it was at the time, but I made sure to disable it afterwards.

TF2 servers seems to be full of cowards today.

Wendell has a new laptop carrying bag!


New Laptop Carrying Case by cpd2005, on Flickr

A perfect fit by cpd2005, on Flickr

Ordered it directly from Toshiba. Wendell fit's in perfectly!

Oh, that snagged thread on the Toshiba emblem? It arrived that way. Otherwise, the carrying bag is in brand new condition, which is expected of course.

Angel is a loveable pet. She might not be completely house trained though...

So, James was right to be worried. I, personally, didn't really get to do much outside the campground's cottage during the last three days. My health is beginning to dive again and I am on modified bedrest now, meaning I can walk and do things sometimes. It's basically "house arrest" anyway. I was on modified bedrest and then complete bedrest last time, in the third trimester. This time, I am starting in the second trimester. That means I have around five months of bedrest awaiting me! I'll go crazy!

I better not miss holidays due to this. Hallowen, Thanksgiving, Nell's birthday, Christmas, my wedding anniversary, Western New Year, my birthday, Eastern New Year, Valentine's Day... If I miss any of these, I won't be happy. I probably will be in the hospital on Halloween, unfortunately.

Speaking of holidays, my cesarean was scheduled for Leap Year Day which is something I was worried about. I don't like that. I don't feel like disagreeing, though. Reminds me of how it was scheduled for Bastille Day (July 14th) last time and I didn't like that either (and they came on the July 9th instead, and were premature albeit barely premature). No offense to Angel's birthday, of course. I don't like Bastille Day for political reasons. I don't like Leap Year Day as a birthday because it's just... silly. Who wants to only celebrate on their birthday once every four years?

About the medical seriousness, I am only a little worried. I'll do all I need to, and we have a road map to safety. At least, I tell myself I am not worried. I have a habit of concentrating on annoyances to take my mind off bigger stresses. Mm, I'll tell you more about my physical conditions in the chatroom, if you want to ask.

In good news, the thing I worried for my brother about has not happened. He is fine.

Oh, no worries! I... won't finish this joke!

This feels.. right. This avatar.

I've been having a reoccuring dream that really made me want to us this as an avatar. It's happening every night, stronger each time. I'm in the Flanoir area in Tales of Symphonia, and I'm Colette Brunel.. and everything feels so real, just like real life. I feel the cold on my skin and I huddle down, the snow is blowing in my face in the late evening and things are getting dark but for the faint glow of the city in the distance. I'm clutching her charkam's, we just are getting close to town but don't want to let our guard down. There are complaints, from someone I can't recongize, that they are hungry. A hurting pain in my stomach is telling me I'm hungry too, but I don't want to say anything and make other people upset..

Every night.. I wish it would go further than that, I feel like the dream is special in some way. Just a feeling.

Digi has degraded to become so unusable that I was forced to reactivate the WiMax service I have a bone to pick with and use that until Digi restores their service.

Damnit, I hate that service. They use deep packet inspection so you cannot bypass the DNS blockage on file sharing sites. This blockage of filesharing sites is in fact unfair, but unless we have a change of government or the idiotic cheesehead of an Information Minister gets overthrown and the blockage is revoked, nothing can be done.

Why am I so whiny about such weird details?

"Blah blah blah!"
"Oh no! Leap Year Day birthdays scheduled and I'll probably miss one Halloween!"

I am odd.
