Ro-tan went off and died on me again this morning. I turned him on, and midway through downnloading the Good Omens FST and checking my mail he restarted on his own. Then, after a series of attempts of rebooting in which the process would stall farther and farther away from booting up Win98, Ro-tan simply wouldn't open.

En101 paper was done last night, but if this crash goes horribly wrong, then I'm going to have to re-write it. And I still have to do one more individual paper. Did I mention that I'm also supposed to handle the editing work for my group's paper in Western Lit II?

Can you tell I'm annoyed?

Well. On somewhat lighter news. It's our final exam in Western Lit II later at 1:30. Ma'am Rica says it's an "open everything" test. That begs to question how exactly does one study for an open everything test. I'd review the questions, but since Ro-tan conked out I wasn't able to print a copy... time to mooch off generous blockmates. Though it's not as if I'm going to end up really reviewing anyway.

*tilts it at a 110-degree angle*

*squints again*

If anyone out there's got a Sony Vaio, can you tell me how to increase the screen brightness while your machine's running on its internal batteries? It's really, REALLY dark and I don't want to just leave it plugged in all the time. I would if it was mine but it's not mine. x_X

Hrm. It's not even eight o'clock yet. Expect more posts later.

EDIT: ( the accuracy amazes me. )
