So… I had a bit of a crappy afternoon. Well, fraught actually. I got home from school to discover that my PC was doing strange things, and spent about four hours fiddling about with it, copying files, moving files, defragmenting drives etc. Such a waste of time when I had loads of other things to do instead.
And it makes me cranky and panicky and I hate it.
But I’m the type of person who just has to fix things when they go wrong – I can’t leave something and figure it out later, I have to do it right away, or it eats away at me and I can’t concentrate on anything else until it’s done. So in the long run, it’s best to get fixing. But it still pisses me off.
Otherwise, things are going okay, more or less. I’m still very busy work-wise, but I’m settling in at the new school okay. I feel comfortable there and one of the classes that was a pain to start with is beginning to settle a bit. Still far from “good” but better than it was.

I’m really enjoying Ugly Betty, although I can’t help wondering how many times Betty can save the day and haul Daniel’s ass out of the shit. But I love the swipes at the fashion industry, and it’s funny – even hubby’s hooked, which is always a good sign! I’m already behind with Desperate Housewives. I’ve seen the first three episodes of S3, but missed the fourth – I got it from Channel 4’s new “on demand” service, but haven’t had time to watch it yet. And I have the following episode on the PC – I must try to watch before Wednesday otherwise I’ll be three weeks behind and I’ll never catch up. That’s always the problem. I can record stuff, but finding the time to actually watch it is nigh on impossible – which is why I record very little TV. I know “timeshifting” is the thing these days – recording to watch at your leisure (and screening out the ads!) but if I tried that, I wouldn’t actually watch anything! And the new series of CSI starts here tomorrow (I’m still catching up with the end of the last season!), so I’ll try to catch that. I know, I know, another example of veg-out TV, but it requires very little thought so I can watch and work at the same time!
Because of all the pissing about with the PC, I haven’t gotten to watch this week’s Studio 60 yet – so thoughts on that later or tomorrow.
