I'm still alive and so is my computer (barely)

Update on my life

My back is slowly but surely improving, but I have started every day with exercises and a double dose of painkillers to be able to get out of bed.

I survived my wild week at work: one down, another one to go...

I was not able to make an appointment with my boss for a big talk

Update on my computer's life

My computer is able to stay awake in safe mode - if I give him time to warm up first

I can go online in safe mode with networking

I can't upload pictures from my camera or use Photoshop in safe mode

There is no sound in safe mode

I can't remove suspicious programs in safe mode

My computerwiz-brother won't be able to come by until Tuesday

I decided I needed some comfort-pressies, so this afternoon I went speedshopping to buy Queer as Folk (UK) and Manhunter, but instead I ended up with Bladerunner (Director's Cut;), Casanova (the series with David Tennant in the lead) and trilogy-documentaries Koyaanisqatsi, Powaqqatsi and Naqoyqatsi (resp. 'Life Out Of Balance', 'Life In Transformation' and 'Life As War') - a visual montage portrait of our contemporary world in three parts by director Godfrey Reggio. I've been looking for those for a long time:)
I'm gonna have to order QAF online. Manhunter will be available soon (in the bargain bin apparently - poor WP)

Since I can't be creative I'm gonna have to direct my energy in another direction. I expect there will be a lot of meme-posts tomorrow *g*
