WHO, in this day and age of enlightenment... WHO, I ask, would buy a nice new computer, really pretty well-equipped, with DVD burner, dual-output video card, and some other nice features? Who would buy one of these and NOT BUY ANTIVIRUS?

One of the pastors here.

It's his home computer, but guess who's been fighting with it all morning?

Yeah, me.

His wife was checking email, and saw one FROM their email address, TO their email address, with the suject line of RE:[]. It had an attachment. Guess what she did?

Yeah.

I'm about to give it back to him and tell him he'll need to use the system restore disks. Because I can't get the virus off, because whichever one it is is preventing me from installing Symantec Corporate Antivirus, and that's what we use here.

I'm not being mean (although I am a little miffed); I just don't have any other options.

I am reposting this from my LJ since my day has been very boring and Meredith wanted me to:

here is the game. Shuffle your i-pod (various other mp3 player) and list the first five songs. Then write about your feelings on the song/things it reminds you of....No cheating!

I'll go first!!

1.Air- Playground Love (instrumental version). I love the Virgin Suicides score. I saw that movie when it first came out with who would soon become my boyfriend (now ex) later that night. "Playground Love" seemed very fitting for that period of time. It's slow and sad and pretty and I think I might like it better without lyrics.

2.Mark Mothersbaugh-Kite Flying Society (from the Rushmore soundtrack). I always associate Rushmore with Autumn. This always makes me want to go out and play in leaves and go kite flying in the park with Max Fischer and Margaret Yang.

3.Ryan Adams- City Rain, City Streets. This is all jangly and sad which is how I like my Ryan Adams best. I really don't like that line "is it snowing in space?" and I wasn't sure if he was saying "Spain" for a long time. I just looked up the lyrics though and it's definately Space. I really like when he goes "I am going to push them way/ Fall into the leaves of the winter trees/drowning slowly, lonely my city RAAAAAIN". Ryan Adams is so angsty and emo, I bet Parker Posey had him whipped.

4.Black Moth Super Rainbow- Hazy Field People. This list has seemed to taken on a nature theme. I find that Black Moth are highly underrated. They kind of remind me of the goofy younger sibling of Boards of Canada. This is all slow and if I made a movie where there was some dramatic, sad love scene where two people are staring at eachother from across a train track and then the train comes and whisks one of them away and then you see the other guy standing there looking all sad but THEN! he turns around and the person he was staring at is actually standing right behind him and they start kissing all passionately- this would be the song that plays.

5.Broadcast-Pendulum. Some of the tracks on the new Broadcast are a little dull but this is one of the better ones. It's got a very hynpotic vibe about it so the title of the song is very fitting. Broadcast thinks about these things....

don't let him fool you. he knows a secret down at uncle tom's cabin...

He KNOWS who put those goddamn bodies in the wishing well.

They take all the best parts of all the good music ever made, with none of the bad.
They are like a revolutionary new improvement upon music.
