Oct. 5th, 2007 04:19 pmDonating blood went without a hitch. *very pleased* It took forever and a day to get into the system, because there were so many people waiting in line. Which -- is amazing. The blood bank in AK almost never has a line. Which -- is depressing.
The phlebotomist was really good, too. One of the most painless sticks I've ever gotten (out of, er, four. Look at me talking like I have so much experience with needles. *rueful). And I got a bag out of it! Which is great, because I've been wanting some kind of small bag for times when a huge squeaking bright blue laptop bag is inappropriate.
Anyhoo. The weekend starts now. *stretches* I do have a paper I need to revise, but that shouldn't be too hard. And I may be seeing Ratatouille (FINALLY) tonight, am certainly going to the Mattress Factory tomorrow morning, hopefully going to Three Sister tomorrow afternoon, and hearing Leon Katz speak tomorrow night. A full and exciting weekend.
ETA: . . . *staring at computer and external hard drive, worried*
Um. Ever since -- yesterday? -- when I plug this hard drive in, the computer says it's not recognized. Earlier it would install the drivers, but still not recognize the drive. Now it's not even doing that.
This is the hard drive that has all my LJ icons and other Photoshop stuff on it, most of my pictures from my camera, my music, and most importantly, my writing. Like Pandora.
I started restarting the computer last night, and it didn't help. Any suggestions, O tech-savvy f-list?
(More happily, finished Connie Willis' To Say Nothing of the Dog today. I TOTALLY CALLED MR. C. Hah. *smug*)
ETA 2: ajklfjdks;jakfd GUYS. BEST THING EVER EVER EVER.
