I try so hard not to get upset, cause I know the trouble I'll get

I can barely believe it, but I didn't have to start my computer up 100 times today. This may just be some devious plan to get me all secure in thinking, "Hey, it works after all," and then the next day it dies, but I figure I should enjoy it while it lasts, anyway.

I was just checking on some updates I did, and all the images I'd put up were messed up... and I realized I forgot to change the FTP-dealy to "binary" when I uploaded them. I almost always forget that because I was so used to a program that did it automatically. Me = dumb.

Last night I had a "Deadwood" dream. It's actually pretty embarrassing. It was Deadwood and everyone on the show looked as they do, but I looked normal, and also we were in good old P-town. I worked for Al Swearangen, but I actually wasn't a hooker - I killed people for him, and I seemed to enjoy it, which kind of disturbs me. Anyway, I get caught by Sheriff Seth Bullock (Timothy Olyphant) himself, and as he was arresting me I was flirting with him, I guess trying to get out of it or get in less trouble. Didn't work. Bummer.

I don't even really remember what I did yesterday... started my computer 100 times... watched "Mythbusters"... but there's a whole bunch of hours I can't account for. That's not good. Heh. My parents and I watched "Flight of the Phoenix" (the new one... apparently there's an original one, and my dad made fun of me for not knowing... whatev!), with an interruption in the middle to watch "Cops." I used to really hate that show for some reason but now I like watching it, even - no, especially - the reruns.

In my tradition of making pointless lists that interest no one else, some of my favorite "Cops" incidents:

- Kodiak City, Alaska. These two drunk women were fighting in a bar, left, went to another bar, and started fighting again. Each of them needs like three police officers to restrain them, and that's a bit of a stretch. When they get to the detention center, one of them has to be strapped down, and the other starts shouting: "It's hot in here! Get me a fucking fan! I'm fatter than the last time I was in here, you know!"

- I forget why they arrest this lady - drugs, I think. She's this blond woman wearing a hat, ugly pink lipstick, and too much mascara. The cop who arrests her is this big guy, and she calls him "Hogmongous." I've adapted that word into my own vocabulary.

- A police officer goes into a parking lot where there's an older man just hanging out in a car. The man is obviously drunk, and they have an amusing exchange:

Drunk man: "Can I ask you a question?"
Policeman: "Sure, what is it?"
Drunk man: (holding some cash out to the cop) "Here's twenty dollars. Beat me up."
Policeman: "Why would I beat you up for?"
Drunk man: "Because you want to. Now go on, just go ahead and beat me up."

- The one where the little boy locks his mother out of the house. Hilarious.

- Any episode where someone caught with drugs says, "But they're not mine. I'm just holding them for a friend." Wait, that's every episode.

I'm so hungry... need breakfast... oh yeah, I woke up at 5:45 this morning. Boo.

Postscript: Hey, I guess comments work now, for some reason. I sure didn't do a thing. Yay for the comment fairy or whatever.
