The snow continues.
I’ve been up since around 6am. Chaucer was hanging out around my pillows, sealing all the bed’s warmth under the blankets and overheating me. I untangled myself, gave him the attention he wanted, and tried to go back to sleep.
I tried to fix my laptop. It’s been giving me some random browser issues for the last couple of weeks. It crashed over the weekend, and wouldn’t boot up after. When I tried to power it up yesterday, it powers on, but tells me I need to reinstall the ChromeOS. I’d be perfectly ok doing that, if Google made it possible to download the restoration shit through normal avenues. But, no, we can’t have that. As far as I can find, the restoration shit needs to be downloaded via a fucking Chrome extension. I CAN’T RESTORE MY COMPUTER BECAUSE I DON’T HAVE COMPUTER.
It’s fucking bullshit. I have my phone, so I’m not completely offline. Everything I did on the big screen via web can be done on mobile via apps. The spicy work is so much easier to schedule and deal with on a full screen. Reddit mobile sucks.
Aside from the restoration fail, I gamed a bit. I played Just Dance in the morning until around lunch time. The “random song” option is a nice way to add some variety. I can only use about a dozen playlists, each with about 4-8 songs from the 2023 and 2024 releases. The online service has a lot of songs, but they aren’t in playlists. Unfortunately, unless I go into the full song index, I don’t see most of those songs.
Later, I moved on to Skyrim. I’m in the final stage of taking over the Thieves’ Guild with my character. I’ve already successfully taken over the Mages’ College and the assassins. I still find it hysterical that these guilds invite me to do a few quests and I’m suddenly in charge of everything.
Shawshank is working the closing shift tonight. I expect much of my day will be like yesterday, where I’ll find some way to amuse myself. The flurries continue.
