Dude, you've got some serious issues...

The reason for the lack of postings this week is, well, dell is very sick.  He in fact, is in critical condition, and his owner, me, is considering putting him down.  The expired virus protection on my computer, which didn't let me know it was expired until the VIRI had ravaged and left my machine to die.  I did visit the GEEK Squad, and true to form, they were geeky, but they knew there stuff.  AS the posting titles suggests, I have some serious issues.  They could 'take a look at it' for $50, fix the problems for an additional $150, and back up all of my files (if they could) for another $100.  This comes out to a grand total of $300.  I politely declined, citing my status as a poor unpaid DC worker, and left.  If I had the disks from when I originally got the computer, I could, as they say, torpedo my hard drive, essentially wiping it clean of anything and everything that might be eating it, but, I would have to reinstall everything (which I don't know how to do).  The machine itself, while not 100% anymore, still works, and the parts are functional, it's just the viri at this point.  What to do, what to do?

In other non-PC news, we went to the MSU bar last night to watch the MSU opening round tourney game, which they one, and drank overpriced beer with Sparty Alums.  It made me want to stay down here even more, because it was fun meeting fellow spartans, with a common goal, beer and basketball!  Anyways, I ran out of cash, and my debit card got declined, so this weekend has been credit heavy...my apologies.

Also, Janae, my North Dakota buddy, and Roma, Italy buddy, was in town on her spring break.  As I had to work the first 2 days she was here, I didn't get much time with her.  But, she luckily had another friend in town, so she got plenty of site seeing in, and a little time of site-seeing with me.  I took her to a bar/restaurant called Capital City Brewery on Thursday night, and to the Billy Goat Tavern today for lunch.  Good times, right?  

I am running out of time to find something to do out here.  Law school (sadly) is looking like the next step in the puzzle.  And my puzzle has, to quote a best buy geek squad-er... serious issues.  

If you need me, I'll be teaching Barry how to bowl, guy could only swing a 129.
