Well, that was fucking balls.

Entrenched in a lovely little Xena/Gabs first-time fic, two-thirds of the way thru a download (by the way, if you’re into anime music videos, Kestrel rocks. I especially recommend…well, all of them, really ^^;;), and I decide to go down to the kitchen and get some water. Once there, I get sucked in by the delish peaches we’ve been getting from that little Mormon fruit stand down the way, and decide to cut a couple up into a bowl to take with me. When I return, the computer has gone into rest mode…it seems to do this whenever it damn well pleases, and not at any pre-set time frame. But today when I move the mouse, the screen comes back on to reveal that the fucking thing has gone into DOS mode. >.< Now, as with most computers, the Gateway’s circuits are lubricated with the spent seed of numerous hellspawn, so it will simply sit and laugh at any attempt to return to Windows. You want back, kids, you have to reboot. I swear, if I ever meet the dark lords that created this thing, I am going to insert their heads so far into their asses that they can see out their navels.
