General announcement + help...

I'm on twitter. Sigh. juliawiatr - add me or whatever.


Also - for some reason, my Windows firewall dealie, Windows Defender, just can't update. I keep trying to make it do so and it won't. Also, I have AVG Free Virus software downloaded, and that can't connect to the internet for some reason to update, no matter what I do.
I tried connecting via ethernet as opposed to wireless. No luck.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling AVG - no luck.

I'm at a loss. =/ Any more tech savvy people know what to do??

Amanda Palmer

... was amazing. I'm so glad I got to see her solo show.

Also, Neil Gaiman was a surprise guest and introduced Amanda Palmer on stage. Apparantly they're good buds or something.

Also, I got to be up in the VIP section because Julz has connections. And I got to rock out to Amanda up on the balcony with Neil.


So I bought two of his books today. Gotta love discounts because of GameStop + Employee Appreciation week.


I'm home this weekend to work on a ten page research paper due Monday by 5 and to study for an English paper that's Monday at 7pm.



All I really want to do is go back to Evanston and play Left4Dead or WoW...
So close to having this quarter be done....

Reading Weeeek

I love being home. My mommy is just about the best person in the whole world.
And she makes everything a million times better.


I was up until 7:47am this (monday) morning working on my minimum of 2500 word Spanish essay, though it could be written in English, which was a research paper on the Mozarabic Rites and their connection to Catholicism.

Awesome. But it got done, and I turned it in and took an awesome nap at home and feel loads better.

Being home feels nice. =]



My little apartment feels extra-holiday-y because Sam's awesome. She texted me and Ang about there being a surprise waiting at home, and there was a little table-top Christmas tree all lit up. =] I love it.



I should be starting my other 10 page research paper which is due Monday by 5pm, but of course I'm online. At least I don't have WoW on this computer or any productivity I would have planned on would just not exist.

I really wanna have a little holiday party, complete with sitting around drinking hot cocoa and maybe going sledding and being all festive and stuff. Hmm....
