No, see a virus intends to mess with your computer and make it run slow.
...isn't that an exact description of Vista? :P
intends

Vista fucks everything up, even fucking your computer up is a fuck up.

Trying to get letters of recommendation. Blagh. I've got two! I need three! And nobody will respond to my emails. This is what happens, Bauglir. This is what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps don't go to school for 3 years.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

It still weirds me out that I used Vista for a couple years, and never had any problems at all with it.

Consistency even in failure is too much for Vista.

When I did once upon a time use it, I never had too many specific problems, but it was terribly laggy and I was not at that stage doing anything more complicated than word processing and playing Age of Empires. I think I would have more problems with it now.

I'm typing this from a school computer, in a library. Looking around, some of these books have just weird titles:

Everybody SEES the Ants
under SHIFTING glass
texas gothic


This is just sad.

(I typed those titles as they appear; one is mostly made up of lowercase letters, another just says the first and last in cursive and the middle one in all caps and print lettering, and the one has "SEES" in massive font and red lettering.)

Just found out the Titanfall is Origin exclusive. Completely killed any intention of buying the game.

Having had to install origin to handle found copies of Sims 3 expansions, it isn't particularly bad. Nowhere near as good as Steam, but it's inobtrusive and you'll never actually notice it outside of the times you deliberately run it to get updates.

My life is a moshpit inhabited by innumerable beasts of unthinkable variation, all of them set out to kill one another in a euphoric dance of ‼RAGE‼, form which there is no hope of escape! All will suffer in poverty, none shall accomplish their goals, and all are alone! Alone!

As long as they're killing each other and not you... bonus?

As for my sads, trying to pack the remainder of my life into a suitcase to go to be with my wife, hoping to goodness I can get it into one suitcase and a carry-on for cheapness. Thought I would manage it... until I discover another box, even though it's a tiny box, of stuff that my wife wanted me to take with me. Now I need another suitcase.

I also have to deal with more admin nonsese on top of the previous six months of visa shite and travelling to London two separate times badly sleep deprived (because night-shift) as the company I bought the tickets through doesn't seem to like being helpful in any capacity.

"Oh you were expecting us to inform you of the changes to your itinerary and the online forms you have to fill in before you fly, just because you paid us £700? No."

Perhaps the worst thing is I actually realise that all this isn't really that bad. I just can't be bothered with anymore of the wee hurdles of stress that pop up, I just want to be with my wife :(

Bureaucracy. Makes the world go round, just really bloody slowly.

Nightmares.
Vivid, lucid nightmares. Sometimes my imagination is a double-edged sword no matter how I handle it-I know it is a dream, I don't back out. Despite it being a horrific nightmare that I can't escape. It's just like playing this game, and only until you notice differences in your surroundings that you get the idea:

"Oh crap."

The context lies in being in a 'safe' environment. Only until the similarities exist does the psychological horror come in...I mean, wow. My first dream where all my tests on 'is this a dream am I really dreaming' failed. Only when the surroundings changed (oh yeah, go me. Simulate two laptops both with LoL playing. I don't even play LoL.) do I notice the moment of fear, terror and goodness why can't I wake up. That, and the annoying feel of gravity that simulates 'I'm not dreaming. This is reality.'

I mean I can bloody see my own nose just as I see it IRL! Curse you dual vision.

Then the horror strikes. The adversary appears. And it is not human.

I am glad I am awake. But...what had just happened. It was a different nightmare than all others.
No trivialities like in the real world. Yet it was as real as in this waking reality (no, the game above has no bias on what I experienced). I saw nothing wrong, until I noticed the differences in my surroundings--and even then, all my dreams are vivid to the smallest detail.

I'm glad I'm awake. ;_;

Edit: This ain't what made it sad: It was a mixture of beauty, mystique, wonder and horror.
What made me sad is trying to convey the darn thing. Why are words so linear!?

The very day I start working on job applications and Iron Diadem again my period hits.  I'm exhausted and also extruding a lot of blood.  So fucking tired of this bullshit.
