Finally got myself another day off from work. Spent the whole morning downloading updates for the new-old lappie. My sister's friend took off the old hard drive and installed a formatted used one -- so in a way, it's not lappie anymore, but it's still sort of is. Anyway, I'm fine with it for the meantime.
I'm thinking if I should either just upgrade lappie with a brand new hard drive with 80 GB capacity and increase the memory to 512 MB, or just save up and get myself a new desktop computer. So far, I'm leaning towards doing the latter. In any case, both options would still require quite a sum of money so I'm crossing my fingers things pan out well in the next few months.
In the afternoon I got to talk with Oscar after not seeing him for months. He asked me if I would be able to do the website again for this year's Pink Film Festival. I agreed of course. This means I have to brush up on coding and designing again. I hope by the time I have to start getting things up and running I would already have a new computer.
When I got home, I remembered a CD an officemate lent me weeks ago for the movie Bishounen. I wasn't able to watch it before because of lappie's temporal demise, but since lappie's here now and it's still not very late anyway, I thought I'd see it before I sleep...
... which I very much regret doing because NOW, I can't sleep. The familiar noise in my head which I've calmly dealt with over the past few months is now starting to hum once again. I hate it that a movie with beautiful characters, a moving score, and a compelling story can cause such tremors in my mind.
Sigh. Note to self: no more sad movies the night before work week starts.
