Just in case you’re wondering, the pola above does not accurately reflect my current state. I’m currently very annoyed with myself (and this damn computer which keeps freezing and erasing this stupid post). I was supposed to get up today and head to campus to work in the digital media lab on this project that I’m really behind on. I got off late and realized when the L pulled into Addison that a) the Cubs game was just getting out and b) I forgot my ID at home and wouldn’t be able to swipe into the lab. It was too late to go home (and too late to NOT deal with tons of suburbanite fans) so I thought I’d go to see if anyone was there and would let me in. No such luck.
Now I’m in this crappy public lab in the library, where the stupid IE keeps crashing on me. I should be working on an essay, but instead have been looking through the files on my jump drive, finding gems like this one. It’s from my trip to Washington State last summer. My friend, and sometime traveling companion, Stacey took it of Mariah, Matt, the Chicken and me while we were visiting Bainbridge Island. It makes me smile and wish I could go camping right now. (It also makes me wish I didn’t have to do this project I’m not currently doing but should be. But really, almost anything is giving me that feeling.)
My computer is also acting nuts. It froze while downloading a security upgrade and ever since, whenever I turn it on, the finder and top bar flash repeatedly and nothing on the desktop shows up. I can use the internet for some reason, sort of. I find this all worrisome. I made an appointment to take it to the Apple store and I hope it can get fixed.
My horoscope is also giving me mixed messages. Friday told me that I am charming and today’s tells me not to get ahead of myself and to keep grounded in reality.
Below is another pola that does not accurately represent the day.
That top photo is just great, Claire! Totally cool. I hope things smooth out for you. It's so aggravating till they do though.
Keep your chin up. Smile!
(Don't you hate chipper people when you're feeling all Grrrrr?)

That's a great photo.
As far as the horoscope... hmmm, you're charming, but stay grounded. I say stay in bed.

Well, don't place bets on my hard drive's charming future, because apparently it's faililng and it's now being replaced. Grr...

I also love that photo. Strangely enough, it's the second photo of me with a face like that and a chicken. It doesn't sound right, but it's funny. I'll have to dig it up.

It looks like the chicken is goosing you.
Does that even qualify as a pun?

It reminds me more of the Chicken Lady from Kids in the Hall.

That is the second time in days that character has been brought up in conversation.
S(he) was freaky.
