But guess what! Father fixed my External Hard drive! You know...the one I complained about in Update Number Three...in the post right below this one....No, right below...scroll down a bit...yeah, that one. Number Three...It's working now, yeah - listening to Dropkick Murpheys at the moment, too. Right from my computer. Yeah. I don't know what was wrong with it exactly...but Father called me up from my downstairs, 'vegge-ing' time and pointed to my computer. Initial reaction: 'What's he doing in my roooOOooom?' If you didn't know, italics means 'in my head'. Second reaction, 'what's that orange thing on my - OH. My. GOD! IT'S BACK!' And then I actually said, 'it's back.' Father sad 'yeah' and pointed to the lap top...said he hooked my E.H.D, my external hard drive, up to the lap top and it - the lap top - said there was some kind of crazy joojoomagumbo on it, and mounted it onto the desktop of the laptop. It was fixed on the lap top, and worked there - fantastic, by the way. So he decided 'hey, let's put this sucker back on Jereality's computer' and SHAZAM! I have my iTunes back. I am absolutely thrilled.
Oh, just in case you were also wondering - I figured out what was so funny from yesterday. A fellow member of the Education Station I go to reminded me. Lovely girl - smart as all get out. [ I never understood that phrase. 'as all get-out'. It just doesn't really make sense if you look at all the words together and give them their meanings in your head. 'Cause if we use intelligence as the example: 'Smart as all get-out' and 'Smart as anything' which also makes little sense. Smart as anything, beautiful as anything. What is this 'anything' in which we speak?! - but I digress]
Anyway, I have a picture to accompany this bit o' humor.
All rightie, do you see that? That is the new Food Pyramid - groups all the god nutritious things together and has a little dude running up some staris - i.e, exercise. So, after much talk abut this new pyramid, most of my fellow Education seekers are asking 'where are those fats and oils? The ice cream and the chocolate and scrumdidliumptious bars? Where are they?'
Our Health Guru man looks at us and says, 'it's there, it's the little yellow line...It's there, but we don't associate with it. They're like terrorists. Oils are terrorists. We don't make deals or mess with the oils or terrorists.'
So, naturally, we all look at each other, shocked, appalled, and slightly amused at this terrible and somehow fitting comparison. I guess you would have to be there...at the time, this was actually very funny.
Also, I pose a question. Look closely at the green 'Vegetables' section. What do you see? Vegetables? Yeah, nice one. But closer, closely at the screen. Close enough to see the pixles...Yeah, outlines of beans. That's what you see. Beans in the Vegetable section. Why, I wonder, are beans in the Vegetable section when there is clearly labeled a 'Meats and Beans' section?
Also, another question. Look closely at the 'Meats and Beans' section. On the right side of the milk, just above the tuna fish and under the pixley egg - Peanut Butter. Last time I checked, peanuts were not meats or beans. They were nuts. They and the beans in Vegetables should switch places...
That would be an accurate drawing of the food pyramid...Did you know it took 'em a year to get this done? It's not even right! Whatever.
Okay, it's time for me to go now...I have some sleeping to do...I'm already ahead of schedule..Got my shower, like, forty minutes ago...I usually get it at ten...it's like, ten twenty right now. So, I've got a lovely time gap to sleep through. Better take advantage of that, otherwise I'll wake up like a zombie with hair like Nick Nolte. Ah well...
Sleep Well,
