technology bites

so my computer got a virus a few days ago. and around the same time, i lost my cell phone. for the gazillionth time. i really can't understand why i keep losing my phone. i don't lose anything else. just my phone. this time, my new phone lasted what, 3 months?

i got another sim card, another phone to use in the meantime. i figured out how to work my external hard drive without the cd, and was about to wipe my computer totally clean again, like last summer. and then...the virus suddenly just disappeared! i had tried two virus scans, autorun, safe mode, everything. and when i finally resigned myself to wipe and format, my computer just went back to normal! i am so baffled and suspicious at the moment...i'm just running another virus scan now to see what's going on.

in other news...my crazy aunt and mr. lim (her husband) from vancouver came down to LA to visit us for a week. she left early this morning, and everyone could not wait to see her go back to canada from whence she came. she was driving us all insane! we went to seaworld, and to disneyland, and all around LA. and the week was filled with utter ridiculousness, maddeningly slow walking, a lot of wrist grabbing, hand holding, elbow gripping. frequent bathroom trips. complaining. selective hearing. fighting. public fighting. shrill voices. and eating. of course. lots of eating. i don't believe there is anyone in the world more annoying, more clingy, more embarrassing, more infuriating than my aunt. just goes to show that money can only get you so far.
