Picture me growling

The more work I do trying to my new laptop set up the more pissed off I am getting at the poor dead POiS iBook, may he rest in peace (after giving up the rest of my files that is). All, and I do mean all, of the photo CDs I made from that thing are corrupted in some awful way and will not open on the new laptop. Clovis and I tried, we really did try, but no joy. To make it worse, it turns out that all my portfolio pictures, pictures from the road trip, and god knows what else, are still on the iBook, which still won't boot even in safe mode. Gah!!

Really, it is not beyond my capacity to figure out how to fix this, but I hardly have the time, or the emotional energy, to deal with it. I have got to get my homework situation figured out. This stupidness with laptops and pictures and missing files and reripping every single damned CD I own, that's all just seriously distracting and stupid but it's still pissing me off.

Oh well. I did manage to get off my ass and ride my bike over to campus today, just to test the route. Quite a nice ride actually. Takes about 20 minutes each way, has only one small hill thing, and is very pretty. The plan is to ride to school at least 3 days a week, weather permitting. Tuesday, Thursday and Friday are the easy class load days, so I'll try to ride then. Maybe do pilates or something on the other days. Getting in a bit of exercise should help me to keep my mind focused where it needs to be. Which is to say, not the stupid iBook.

I've got to go forth and find someplace to study that is not my house. I'm finding things to be far to distracting here at the moment.
