It's Not a Gameboy

‘Check it out! You can now donate directly to me courtesy of Paypal. There's a button on the bottom of the sidebar, just above the blogger link. It's not a particularly noticable location, but I think it's a polite place for it to be. And don't worry, I won't heckle any of you over it. I just wanted to let you know it's there.
Right.
So lets talk about today...
Today is Monday.
That really explains it all, doesn't it?
Monday doesn't seem to hold quite the same grip over the German culture that it does with our weak American approach to the week, but it's close. Probably has something to do with them getting 2 months paid vacation every year, as compared to our 2 weeks (if we're lucky).
Anyway, I'm off track.
Mondays are still Mondays, after all. So I've just been drudging along through the day, not exactly thrilled about it, but making it. I'm still sore from this weekend, getting tired of bread and nutella, and a little sick of German. Tiff helped some. She's worse off than me, what with her foot and all, and she cooked me Pizza :). The German can't really be helped. I just want TV and football, and maybe a hamburger. That last part's Tiff's fault, she's been craving one all day and telling me about it.
The LAN’s going in and out now. Tiff's blowing on the PCI port and the USB port to try and fix it. She's proud to say it worked, despite my skepticism. I’m not sure if it was my hardware or the dorm. Either’s a possibility here. My USB-to-Ethernet was Carlos’s (he’ll get it back in the Spring), my USB port is on a PCI card Bryan loaned me, and my computer was bought off an International Student back home. All in all, I’ve got a pretty ramshackle set up here. Running on dumb luck, as per usual.
I guess that’s one thing my computer and I have in common, right? Both running through the Monday 1/2 functional on 80% dumb luck and 20% battery power.
I’m going to recharge mine now.
