needlesstosay, my little-engine-that-can't-really-anymore didnot meet the pre-requisites.

so, i scratched it and downloaded the original version.

and.... PROBLEM!

apparently, safari, even in its simplest of forms, will not open. this is only frustrating cos it's the only browser upon which primary-choice of [not-quite-so-]dodgy[anymore] gay sites works.

...but since i'm hardly in the mood these days, fixing it hasn't been a priority.

HOWEVER.

downloaded a different broswer [for shits&giggles], only to find it won't work [when it damn well should. EASILY!] in the same manner safari wouldn't work.

and the creme de la creme... my software updater won't bloody open/work either.

i somehow managed to fuck up my computer!

i would just reinstall all the stuff [cos surely that'd work], but i haven't backed up my music or pictures and fear losing them. and considering that i have 27.92GB of 30GB memory taken up with music alone... backing up seems ever-so the chore.

plus. the burning doesn't really work anymore.

pointless-long-story, short: i have been fretting non-stop upon the question, "do i buy external memory thing? or do i just buy the super mac and use this emac as the screen? and is that even possible?? but really, wouldn't getting a laptop make more sense [though over twice as pricy]???"

well. i shouldn't say, "non-stop." ...cos i've also been racking my brain trying to 6-degrees-style connect Ethan Embry to Whoopi Goldberg.

...which i finally did. just moments ago! after at least a week of losing sleep over the silly game.

AND!! i did it in only four-degrees [films].

Ethan Embry&Jennifer Love Hewitt in Can't Hardly Wait -> J.L.Hewitt&Gene Hackman in Heartbreakers -> Gene Hackman&Dianne Wiest in Birdcage -> Dianne Wiest&Whoopi in The Associate.

hmmm. i now i realise, i could also go gene and gwenyth in royal tennebaums to gwenyth and whoopi in moonlight & valentino. which was a terrible movie and just on the other day.

rains it pours, i guess.
