Naughty Fluffy Bunny

You know what?

I had a PLAN for this evening.

I was going to come home from Bar Bri, check my e-mail for abit, take a nap, wake up from that nap, have my BBQ leftovers for dinner, then nicely relax online by spamming LJ, anonymously heckling at CFUD, dabbling on Gaia, and writing some nice panty!Heero fic for ponderosa121 and merith.

I made it to the BBQ dinner before everything went to hell.

AOL has been acting bitchy (don't say anything, I know, I know, AOL suxx0rs, but I'm not paying for it XP) because I'm running AOL 8.0. I downgraded to 8.0 after that whole debacle with 9.0SE totally killing the WIndows firewalls and stuff like that. Hell, even the AOL people said to switch BACK to a more stable version. So I did. And AOL 8.0 works quite well, thanks. Anyway, after awhile, updates and stuff start automatically downloading to older versions of AOL, to try and get it caught up to the newest version. Usually when a download like that finishes, my AOL freezes up and I get kicked offline and have to restart AOL. Not too bad.

But I've been freezing and have to restart at least ONCE every HOUR. I was getting pissed off. And when AOL freezes and I'm running a bunch of other stuff (like AIM, Firefox, etc.) then my Solo is liable to freeze up, too, because of the memory demand. x___X Solo froze TWICE last night and I had to shut off and restart.

Tonight, I finally snapped after being dropped practically whenever I wanted to heckle comment in a meaningful fashion. I dug out my copy of 9.0 Optimized (that I stole appropriated from _faolan_ and finally installed it. And I switched my dial up numbers, too.

Hopefully this fixes everything... at least for a bit. I think I'll still take a stab at the panty!Heero, since getting pissy raises my blood pressure and wakes me up.

( the rest of the day, and maybe plans for tomorrow )
