My computer seems to have eaten it's sound card.... or you know, something more technical than that which leaves me without my music.

Woah, annoying telemarketer. Usually when I say I'm not interested in getting your accident insurance or whatever the creditcard company is peddling this time they go away...but no this one would not shut up. Eventually I had to give up on being nice and hang up because I didn't want to continue to be told that no one plans for accidents but I could be hit by a car or fall down the stairs. Ummm morbid much? Yes, yes that could happen but currently I'm not insuring myself against my own clumsyness.

In other news gofugyourself is doing a week of Spelling related fuggings in honour of Aaron Spelling who passed away last friday. It's highly amusing. Check it out http://gofugyourself.typepad.com/

Oh my computer has also eaten my photoshop installer, boo urns, I have icon inspiration and now it's going to be a while before I can get back to the icon making stage. It's a small thing but it's something I want to fix asap as well.

I'm on Indiana's Do Not Call list -- very effective, it cuts out about 95% of all telemarketing. That's especially important to me, since I sleep by day. (Vampires would need it ... um, if they had a phone.)

I'm very much looking forward to no longer having a phone in my bedroom. When I move out it goes in the living room and therefore I can ignore it while sleeping in :D

I like that idea in theory ... but I'm paranoid that someone's going to need me while I'm sleeping, especially my daughters, and I can't stand the thought that I might miss something important. In other words, being able to get a good night's sleep keeps me from being able to sleep ... there's some irony for you.

Oh goodness when I have kids I will be a worryer and a half. But until then I'm good with a phone being elsewhere in the apartment. Most nights I'd hear it anyways but it just won't be as jarring if it's not right next to me.

Of course, I also have a pager on the head of the bed, and when it goes off it's a lot louder than a phone!

But you're right -- don't worry about the phone until you have kids. Believe me, you'll have plenty enough to worry about once the kids arrive ...
