I should have known the groaning sound wasn’t a cyber orgasm.
My desktop sucked in its last cyber breath yesterday, bless its’ little cyber heart. It was good to me. Too bad I was too stupid to back up everything while it was still grunting and screeching “the end is near”. Maybe if it had moaned a little louder, or screamed a hearty “the end is near Olivia, stop brushing your damn teeth, put the “not tested on animals” foot cream away, and back this shit up”, I wouldn’t have had to kick it so hard, or so often, last night.
I can see now Grad school will be good, for ten pounds. Always the queen of healthy eating, I ate three doughnuts today – who the hell eats three doughnuts in one day? I feel sick too, but I’m fairly certain I’ll probably eat three doughnuts, in one day, again in the near future. I suppose a larger chair, to apppropriately accomadate my soon to be expanded derrière, will be in order. Is there no rest for the weary?
I’d like to vote for Letterman solely on the line “I would appoint Mitt Romney secretary of lookin’ good”.

I can do three in my sleep, with my hands tied behind my back (which is how I sleep).
My 6 year-old computer just got its youth back. I bought memory, and now the thing is as eager and as playful as a puppy on its way to its first fire hydrant. Life is good.
I don’t care for donuts, but I can eat three cows in a day. Thanks for the TV guide!
Actually, I prefer cupcakes. It’s a particular weakness of mine.
Frosted Cupcakery… especially when you have options less than ten miles from your house.
I trashed everything I could–next I have to do the cookies which I’m not looking forward to–being in love with the ease
But I went through four hard drives my first two years of blogging–belonging to that horrible group blog that sent threads: I have to pee now–my first inkling something was really wrong
you can find a better food group than doughnuts to indulge in :)
Doughnuts – did someone mention doughnuts! Yum.
Sorry to hear about your crash and burn episode – damn.
As far as TV viewing this wkend – I’ll be watching the Buick Invitational with the sound off while I read (again) “Taiko: An Epic Novel (based on fact) of War and Glory in Feudal Japan – by Eiji Yoshikawa – one of Japan’s most revered author. Then I might start on “Middlesex”!
Hope you can get everything back together, Olivia, and don’t get all ‘het-up’ about the lbs. You just can’t trust skinny women – they constantly starve themselves and after years of deprivation they snap and come after you with a meat cleaver. No thanks!
I ate more junk in graduate school than in my undegrad years, there was also more concentrated sitting.
My computers have always responded well to a good kick. I recall some groans coming from old “didi”, named after my grandmother, before she kicked the bucket.
I’ll be watching golf too, while catching up on some paperwork, and reviewing tax files.
Hey, at least your aren’t just into your frosh year; the 3 donuts would have added 15 lb just by looking at them.
I can do multiple donuts, but only if they are Dunkin’ or Honeydew. I’ve never been able to stomach those teensy Krispy Kreme things. Actually… reminds me I need to do a “5 Things You’d be Suprised to Know About Me” memes… I once entered a donut eating contest. Didn’t win, but did down at least 2 dozen glazed orbs. Went on a 15 or so miler the next day.
As for your tv list, I don’t see anything other than The Wire that I’d watch. Unfortunately, the cable company moved it into a premium tier; I’m too cheap to go beyond expanded basic. No Patriots on this weekend, either!!
Probably just as well. I’m behind in my cold-weather hiking duties. And I need to design some basement storage shelves for all those blessed xmas trees we put up every year. blech! My weekend sucks already.
You know your teeth, feet and butt will always be the envy of the free world, who you trying to kid?
I was hoping grad school would be better for my weight than teaching elementary school. These people eat a lot of junk, and are known for donut and pizza runs, not to mention the food parents bring in. A fat teacher is a happy teacher.
What, have you been that deprived or that strong to avoid the American ever growing over eat indulgence. Heck, three donuts is whimper words, a whole box of a dozen now that is the true American weigh! No wonder your poor desktop bit the dust, it wasn’t coated in an abundance of sweet sugar crumbs. BTW: For this weeks tv lineup, why not consider ordering the Hardee’s two patty melt topped with philly steak. America can never have to much meat on their bread. Your only how many years from the big 30 and middle age spread anyhow :)! Plus donuts and fast food are about the only things that are still Made In America, we think.
poetress: I have almost 8 years, but i blame the donuts on those who buy them by the two dozen to share. I think I’m done with them though.
kait: I guess if the choice is pack your lunch, cafeteria or pizza, pizza has to win.
sk: Never heard of Honey Dew, I rarely eat donuts but these were dunkin I think. Yea I just took that list off the site, actually IFC usually wins for me and “The Wire” is back for the last season and I do watch that.
The kick did nothing for mine sadly.
Morgan: I think most people can snap if you give them a chance.
You and Jacob eh. I ran today so I did get rid of some of those donuts.
Pia: My computers usually last, I’m not that hard on them. I have a mac book I had to have for school but I only used it for school and my brothers finance is using it my regular laptop is ok but it is used only for work and school and has nothing else in it. I had to get another desk top and so far I hate it.
mojo: I don’t like sweets usually but I used to like the frosting off some of those packaged chocolate cupcakes.
Doug: Cooked I hope.
PITS: I had to spring for a new one, I’m still hoping on getting some files out of my old one and them letting friends take it apart to see if their is anything inside they want to use.
Very funny post Olivia/Cooper :)
Death of a Computer….that has a nice ring to it …
as for donuts…I’ve heard they’re very very good for your skin…
Oh Cooper, poor baby, condolences on your desk top. I’m afraid that mine is going to meet its death sometime soon too. Thus, I have been backing up everything significant to me. I’ve had it almost 8 years and I’ve replaced this and that and this and I think that at this point, there’s no more replacing, *sniff*.
I no longer have the luxury of eating fatening foods and then gaining weight, the mere THOUGHT of eating three donuts would expand my behind! :D
Have a great day!
I haven’t used my desktop since I graduated, it was failing. It still has some working parts but I’ve stuck to the laptop since then. I back up daily.
donuts=fat=good for skin.
My job (working in communications/pr) is one where I spend most of my time in front of a computer/laptop (if I’m away at an event) munching on snacks (that gasp! often include donuts – as I’m Canadian – these donuts are often Timbits from Tim Hortons – double gasp.)
I used to have a weakness for donuts in high school (I worked at a Dunkin Donuts) and would eat a half dozen daily. That was before my metabolism matured.
College introduced the big bag of organge cheese popcorn – I would eat an entire bag at once, although truth be told, about 20% of it ended up on my jeans as I wiped that awful organge stuff off my hands.
Enjoyed the blog – swing by for a look at mine some time:
Smack Of Ham Blog
Still reading, glad you endorsed Obama. ;)
“The Wire” is doing itself proud this season.
Donuts smonuts, eat aways just brush frequently to keep them pearly whites free of decay.
Computers, can’t live with em, can’t live without them.
I never saw a vegetable tray in grad school, or at any work site I’ve ever been at. It’s always donuts or brownies. Overseas if is often fruit, bread and cheese.
Laketrees: I’m happy to hear that, that is for sure.
Sheila: Yup it is dead and I now have to deal with Vista, something I was not looking forward to.
John: I’ve always preferred the desktop.
Xine: Sadly I’m quickly becoming fond of the damn things.
Smakc of Ham: I’ll stop over in between papers.
joe: I miss it when you don’t stop by.
Vegetable trays don’t seem to be a popular quick snack though I do travel with carrot sticks.
