...I'm afraid I can

College IS services want me to upgrade to Windows XP Pro before I can access their network. For E120.00 per upgrade, it's not exactly a bargain. I'm pretty pissed, since it's not like this laptop was cheap. And I'm broke, of course.

Whining's not going to fix anything, though.

Now I do out my:

timetable of days
weekly budgets
poster for the Arch. Soc.'s first event

---

Later.

Progress for Friday, 6 October

Vampires in Paris

Words so far: 15,747
Words today: 859

Tyop du jour: N/A
Darling du jour:

I'd have puked, but the only thing I had in my gut was blood.

An immortal
never vomits blood.

Unpleasantries: Nausea, being shot at, strange new betrayals.
Reasons for stopping: quota and above.


The post-apocalypse zombies-type weird short story that has no plot.

Total words: 2,385
Tyop du jour: Nothing amusing, alas.
Darling du jour: Not many darlings in >200 words
Unpleasantries: Drums. Peril. Diseases.
Reasons for stopping: quota. Also, tired.

Stimulants: Stew, hot chocolate, water, some biscuit-y-cake-y-thing. Pizza. Muffins. More water.
Exercise: Does hiking up and down from the train station count?
Books in progress: The Penguin Historical Atlas of Ancient Greece, Robert Morkot.
Books finished: An Introduction to the Study of the Ancient Near East, W. von Soden. Decent, if out-dated, introduction to high points of literature, history, philology and material culture of the Sumerians, Hittites, Babylonians, Semites, Hurrians et al.
