Tonight I went with Theresa to the mall because she wanted/needed to buy a coat. Since Frank is off visiting his mom, we took her car and she drove. Now we have this rule - whoever is driving is in charge of the radio (except that when Frank is driving, he usually lets me play whatever I want). That meant Theresa got to try out her new device for her iPod and was playing a bunch of new songs she just loaded onto it.
“This is called Flashback to the 90s,” she told me. Yeah, like she is so old and the 90s were so far away. The girl was born in 1988. Then that song by Meatloaf came on, “I Would Do Anything For Love.”
Now here is what we wanted to know. What the heck is it that he won’t do? We were discussing this after I incorrectly said, “That wasn’t from the 90s. Wasn’t that in the 80s?” Turns out I was wrong. Then, according to a Wikipedia article, the that is identified. I am, however, way too sleep deprived to comprehend what they are saying in that article. I’ll have to go read it after I am able to get 8 hours sleep.

Ummm…what? Sleep-deprived blog-writer + Sleep-deprived (or possibly sleep-saturated) blog-reader = Ummm, what?
Isn’t Meatloaf the guy who found Paradise by the Dashboard Lights or something like that? Meatloaf. Mmmmm. I’d like to be able to make decent meatloaf because it sounds like a good dinner. But I’m off-subject now.
I’ll go read the Wikipedia article, you get some sleep, I’ll either get some sleep or try to stay awake, whichever is appropriate, and we can meet back here to discuss. Otay?

I got a new computer. It is possessed by something that is truly evil. I can receive email, but not send. I can look at webpages but I cannot download anything like AIM. I know part of the problem is that as soon as we set the computer up it started downloading updates and it has been for 25 hours now and it is 28 percent done. I keep going into the upgrade manager and telling it to always ask before it does this but it keeps doing it, even if I disconnect and reconnect….any ideas?

Oh boy, Monk, it sounds like you have your work cut out for you. This is what happens when Katy brings new technology into the house. Just imagine what will happen if she ever gets to replace her dial-up. I envision something having to do with lightening. Why is it everything one of us has a computer (or relating-to-the-computer mind) malfunction, we all come to you first? On behalf of all of us, thank you.

I really miss you, Monklet, I really do. Have a Happy New Year’s Eve.
