Classicists -- mayday: TVN's book, not "Somewhere I Have Never Travelled" but the other one -- there's a dedication in the front dedicated to his wife, from the Odyssey. I can't find this book. Someone please tell me the quote and the line/book from Homer so I can look up the real deal? |

I have an iBook G4 that I got in oh...December '05 or thereabouts. I don't use it for anything taxing. iTunes, internet, The Sims :) -- but lately it's been randomly shutting down. The only way to rev it back up again is to pop the battery out, un-plug, re-plug, and try restarting it in various combinations of power cord only/battery only/etc.
I'm not entirely sure, but wasn't there something about the iBook batteries being recalled a year or so ago?
I'm worried someday soon it might die and I'll lose all my music/old schoolwork/etc. Should I start backing everything up? Is there something I can do to fix the problem? This is my first Mac, so I'm not familiar with their quirks.
Advice? |

I hate it when coffee shops list coffee as "Columbian" instead of "Colombian". Because the fucking coffee is from Colombia, not Morningside Heights. |

My Great Grammy passed away on Tuesday. I don't really know what to say about it...she was my favorite person in the whole world, and I spent so much time with her growing up that she was more of a second mother to me than a great-grandparent. I went with Mither to the hospice to see her on Sunday, and I'm very glad I did. She was fantastic, fierce, and lovely. I always knew my family was unusually large, and this branch alone (my mother's father's side/the Rutkowski clan) numbers 30+...and it's all because of her. It's strange to see it in writing. She turned 90 in April.
Here's her obituary from the Jersey Journal.
RUTKOWSKI, HELEN D. (Krukowski) of the Atlantic Highlands, NJ (formerly of Bayonne, NJ) on Tuesday, December 19, 2006. Beloved wife of the late Theodore, Devoted mother & mother-in-law of Mrs. Helen Lehen & her husband John, & the late Theodore & William Rutkowski, Loving grandmother of Michael, Christine, Thomas, James, Susan, Joanne, Nancy, Laurie, William, Robert, Linda & the late Jack Lehen. Also survived by 24 great-grandchildren & 1 greatgreat-granddaughter, Dearest sister of the late Mrs. Julia Slesinski, Mrs. Mary Patkus, Mrs. Lucille Schockley, Edward Reese, Chester Krukowski (Kruk) & Frank Krow. Also survived by many nieces & nephews. Relatives & friends are invited to attend the funeral on Friday December 22, 2006 from THE DWORZANSKI & SON[JU] FUNERAL HOME, 20 East 22nd St., Bayonne, NJ. |

Hi, I'm overwhelmed.
That's all. |

| potential puppies |
[Jun. 11th, 2006|06:51 pm] |
Okay, here are our three favorites for potential adoptions:
Joey
Duke
and Caesar
Joey is a 2 year old, 50lb American Staffordshire/Mastiff mix, I think housebroken, but very smart according to the shelter people. Duke is a 7 month old, 35lb American Staffordshire Terrier/Beagle mix, and housebroken. He'll probably get a little bit bigger. Caesar is a 2 year old, 55lb, American Staffordshire Terrier/Bulldog mix, also housebroken and apparently very kissy. He's a little big but good on a leash.
Caesar is my favorite. I just want to kiss his nose ALL THE TIME.
Opinions? |

My mom called me about an hour ago to tell me that she had to put my doggy down last night.
I thought you guys would want to know since a lot of you met him, played with him, rubbed his belly, fed him
your pizza crusts, etc.
We're having him cremated and I'm taking his ashes to the duck pond in the park (where he used to chase, but
mostly get chased by the ducks) and even though I'm pretty sure it's breaking and entering, I'm going to take him
to the backyard in our old apartment building too.
Tonight, I'm taking a break from my paper and having an Irish wake at the Feve in his honor with a Chivas Regal or two, since that was his namesake. I'll be there around 11. Please come.

How did I not know this?!
Filiberto Ojeda Rios was from Rio Blanco. And after he was assassinated, buried there.
I wouldn't be surprised if my abuela actually KNEW the guy personally.
And on that note, time for bed. |

You go up to the bar and instead of asking what you want, they just say "single or double?" and when you say single they roll their eyes and make it a double anyway. |

It's done by vegetables.
The cauliflower sheep are kind of incredible.
To say nothing of the potato going down on the tomato.
And the eggplant chorus.
And the baby Antigone tomato.
All of it really. It's BRILLIANT. |

Did I fail to mention I'm bloated and bleeding and super emotional (trying maybe to get off birth control. it's making me loopy though. i'll probably stay on it but i have to ride out this week for now.)
So I'm CRAZY and really overwhelmed and so sad about my phone's untimely demise.
and I need to read read read for my 11 o'clock class.
and do my problem set, which I've utterly waited till the last minute to take care of but is SO important that I'll probably end up missing class in order to finish it. woops.
I want to cry.
A lot.
I need to put on something more than a towel and go have a cigarette before I do ANYTHING else. |

| | HORRIFIED | ] |
My cell phone is completely destroyed. Right after my alarm went off this morning it fell off my bed and into two pieces.
I feel completely...amputated? I dunno. Maybe 24 hours or so without it will be good for me.
But I didn't get to talk to Ivan last night and now I won't at all for awhile 'cuz when he called me this morning to make sure I was awake I muted him. :*(
And all my fuming caught up with me.
My chest feels really tight, and if I'm not careful, will turn into that horrible reactive bronchial thing I get and the world will end because I'll cough up both my lungs. Possibly on Mr. Henle. Whose problem set I am going to go do as soon as I shower.
Fuck! Phone phone phone.
Hm.
I hope Rachel can drive me to a Verizon store today. Not like I have time to go to one today.
Tomorrow would be good. I'm free after 11 tomorrow.
Anyone with a car really not busy today/tomorrow and want to take a quick roadtrip? |

Also--my heat has been roaring in my room since, oh, I don't know -- Fall Break. All day and all night, it roars. Tonight -- when it's SO SO SO cold out?
No heat.
Thanks, Noah. |

Nothing fucks over a good night's sleep like knowing 10 hours from now I have to go to math class.
Augh.
My boyfriend got me my own little stackable bins from Ikea so I don't destroy his life by throwing my socks all over the floor. I have bins!
I miss him. I even miss him yelling at me for not using a plate. "It's half a bagel! It'll be done in three bites! No crumbs!" "USE A PLATE ::explosion:: CRUMBS!!! AHHHH! mice! ::roar:: NO! worse -- BUGS!!!"
He got really excited about us going out to buy kitchen things together.
I'm simultaneously freaked out and overjoyed that I'm important enough to be considered in the buying of pots and pans.
Buying pots and pans is kind of a big deal.
Oh God. |

We're on hour 30 of Bedrest Fest 2006.
Sydney brought me a cup of soup and asprin and a movie (Proof!) and soda and checked in on me a couple of times in between classes when I was absolutely delerious with fever.
Rachel came in total Jewish mother mode with chicken soup, a toasted turkey club on whole wheat from Quiznos, ginger ale, water, extra saltines for my soup, and advil. SICK FOOD HEAVEN.
Being sick and all alone and deranged with fever is not fun at all. But when your friends come to the rescue it's much more bearable. |

Sydney came to my rescue. Thank god.
She opened the window and brought me a soda and gave me tissues and is bringing me soups and medicine later after her class.
Because I tried to get out of bed earlier and fell down :(
Being sick and living alone is not so much fun.
I did have a fume though, which against all logic made me feel better. Made my headache go away a little anyhow. |

So........I left the Co-op last night around 7:30, got into bed, and have not moved since.
Except for when Sydney came by to fume.
And I think I pee'd once or twice.
I'm pretty sure I have a fever, my glands are softball sized, it hurts like fuck to swallow, and my head is full of snot.
HOORAY!
If this shit is even remotely Mono related, I am going to lose it.
I'm so sad, and so hungry, but I can't eat 'cuz I don't have money and don't want to walk to town to get some, and I couldn't swallow more than broth anyhow so it's kinda moot.
This is dumb. I also missed my math class today.
And my OSCA bill is overdue.
I fail, in general. |
