Tuesday. Day off. Didn't do laundry. I did it yesterday. Tried to do some more cleaning around the house, but gave up thanks to some of my brother's stuff.
Now... goofing online. Downloading Japanese stuff. Realizing I should work on that instead of goofing around.
I didn't go to work today. The girl that works Saturday morning wanted some extra hours, so I agreed to let her have my shift. She's a bit crazy for working a double shift on a busy Saturday, but I don't really mind. I didn't feel good yesterday, and probably should have called her to work for me then, but I worked. *sigh*
So... now I had a Saturday off and spent the early part of the afternoon running around with my bruddah. Didn't buy anything terribly exciting except an iTunes card.
That sums up Thursday pretty well. I had the day off. I slept until noon. I sat on the couch and practiced writing Japanese while listening to my little MP3 player. I walked to the post office and grocery store with my brother. I made supper, which was subsequently eaten. I did dishes. I goofed off with my brother for a while. I watched a little TV. I got online, and after watching a few videos on my iTunes, started to go through email. Then I played around on Found.com for a bit, and here I am.
Yes, I am still alive. It's just that nothing exciting has been going on in my life. Just the same old stuff... work and sleep.
My excitement for this evening was uninstalling a bunch of crap that I don't use anymore from the laptop! Whee! Party I may have gained a whole GB of space. Perhaps even 2! *faints from the shock*
My current addiction is the Lego Star Wars Complete Saga game that I got for my DS. I still have to get completely through the Lego Indiana Jones game! And yes, I'm going to get the Lego Batman game when it comes out, too. I want a room just for Legos.....
Well, thanks for the suggestions on how to solve my wireless issues. I have replies:
1. Get a TV in the kitchen. Umm... not enough room. *giggle*
2. Move the modem to the room over the living room where the TV is. I don't think the occupants of that bedroom would like a computer in it! XD
3. Make sure it's not the wireless adapter in my laptop. It isn't. This also happens with my brother's brand-spankin' new laptop. Both laptops stay connected to other wireless networks with absolutely no problem.
I did actually have it stay connected for relatively long periods of time earlier this evening over a two-hour period. Then I discovered there was actually nothing worth watching on TV anymore, so I moved to the kitchen.
In order for me to get a good solid wireless signal out of our DSL modem, I have to be in certain locations in the house.
1. In the same room as the DSL modem, but why bother with my laptop up there? I might just as well use the computer the modem is hooked to then! That then defeats the purpose of having my own laptop.
2. In my bedroom, which is across the hall from the office where the modem is. That's a possibility, but uncomfortable because I don't have a desk or anything solid to put the laptop on while using it there.
3. In the kitchen, which is directly beneath the office where the modem is. Yeah, I get a great signal, but I can't watch TV. And then there's the refrigerator. It's just to my right. It's got food in it. I end up snacking a lot more while online in the kitchen.
So... I think the problem needs to be solved. I think we need a signal booster of some sort so we can sit in the living room away from the refrigerator and close to the TV!
What do you think?
Well... otherwise my Tuesday off was spent like every other Tuesday off.... *sigh* I'm in a rut.
Long-ass, lazy-ass post. 
Bleh... 
Another thrill-a-minute day.... 
I'm so naughty.... maybe... it was her idea!!!! 
Uneventful.
