I would post something like this:

So last night I finally wrapped up Rising Legions _{(one of the D&D games I run online)} stuff somewhere between 4, 4:30 a.m. I didn't want for it to go that late, or mean for it to, but it did. Fine, okay. It's like 4:45 and I'm shutting my computer down. Somewhere around 10 p.m. the previous evening I had noticed that I had a bunch of updates that Windows wanted to install, but I'd told it no.

Then around 3:45 or 4 it pulled the "Oh! Time to restart!" and I said no again, because I'd just let it reboot when I was going to bed.

Anyway, I turned off my computer somewhere around 4:45 I think, and went to take a really quick shower. In the process I realized I needed to put a little bit of money on my SCAD card, so when I got back out I turned my computer back on.

And then my laptop, Xeder, introduced me to the less-well-known cousin of the Blue Screen of Death:

The Black Screen of the Endless Void.

So I manually shut it off, and restarted. Windows gave me the "OH, geeze, Windows couldn't start, doesn't that suck? Would you like me to run the repair function or just pretend it's all better and start normally?" Assuming that the error had already been resolved, I chose a normal start.

Endless Void said hello once more.

So I manually restarted again and let it run the repair function. After maybe 20-30 minutes of waiting for the scan, then the system restore, I was able to run my computer and anxiously double-checked that I hadn't lost any files. I didn't, thankfully, and then went to bed.

And then got up at 10:30 a.m. for my 11 a.m. Web Writing class.

To get to class I had to navigate around the Veterans' Day Parade, causing me to take something like a six block zig-zag out of the way THING just to get back onto the right street behind the parade's block.

I love veterans, and have nothing but unending respect for them. I am closely related to two. But oh my god sometimes I hate the parade.

I'm so tired. ;_;





I actually do have a blog, but not a personal one. So I guess dA journal will have to do. :"P
