1. Sister IM'ed me Wednesday night. Aunt's in the hospital - she was too nauseous and in pain to eat or drink, so Mom brought her to the emergency room.

8:38:58 PM Mom: Good. I don't know quite what will occur here. I don't want to scare you, but if things spiral downhill any faster, you may need to come home.

:/

Things at home pretty much suck right now. My brother's friend's funeral was Wednesday, then Aunt Kathy...yeah. I told Mom I was proud of her for not going back to drinking or smoking with all this going on...and went outside and smoked the first cigarette I've had since I was 16.

2. Lost internet late Wednesday night. Internet-less all day yesterday. Finally went and poked roommate about it...right now I'm online and she isn't. Whee. I did get caught up on my stack of Wired issues, made JBJ/Gore in Sims 2 (Jon's pregnant [whee, cheats] right now, but it crashes when he "pops" the second time. Poo), played more Phoenix Wright, and except for the fact that I kept checking to see if I could get online yet, had a nice relaxing, if not entirely cheery, day.

3. It's Christmas music season! Yaaaaay. I plan to make a Christmas music post later. Whoo.

So at the moment I have no internet in the apartment. Fucking YAY.

We have cable internet, but it was acting all fucky Saturday morning so I switched to wireless for a bit. And that's been a complete nightmare. I was averaging maybe 5 minutes online between the stupid thing crapping out. I was about to hop back on to the cable Saturday night when the power went out. Said fuck it, figured I'd deal in the morning.

Right. Morning. Try to get on with the cable...nothing. Check the network settings, and they've gone blank. Whee. Go through the internet setup assistant...won't connect me automatically, needs information. That I don't have, because the connect automatically worked the first time :/

And my roommate is, of course, NEVER AROUND, so I can't get the dhcp blah blah that I need. YARGH.

On top of that, I forgot to unplug my headphones last night so while my alarm went off...it played through the headphones. I woke up with 10 minutes to get to class. Good fucking thing I showered last night, I guess, but I didn't get my coffee and I. Am. Cranky.

Blargh.
