The Old Woman & Her Pig
2007年6月5日 星期二

So there I was,
at 1am on a Sunday night dismantling my fan and cleaning the various parts.
With a stack of notes yet untouched for my exam on Monday.

Why?

Well, it's a bit like the old English story about the old woman who bought herself a pig that won't jump over the stile to get home.

Does anyone remember that story?

The one where in order for the pig to jump over the stile, the old lady had to find hay to feed the cow so that the cow gives milk-> cat drinks milk and try to kill the rat -> rat tries to gnaw on rope -> rope tries to hang butcher -> butcher tries to kill ox -> ox tries to drink water -> water tries to put out fire -> fire tries to burn stick -> stick hit dog -> dog bites pig -> pig jumps over stile and TADAH she gets home.

Which, in my opinion, is a fun story to read but...
Convoluted, totally stupid and essentially a waste of time.
Since she could just have given the pig a good kick in the butt herself to get it moving.

Well anyway, that's what was going on on Sunday night.
Something convoluted, totally stupid and essentially a waste of time.

I had to figure out how to dismantle the fan -> so I could clean it -> so that it can blow out wind properly -> so that it can blast away at my gutted computer -> so that my CPU will stop overheating -> so that my comp won't crash every 5 minutes -> so that I could finally do research on the exam essay topic -> so that I can finally WRITE the damn essay -> so that I could start memorising it -> so that I can pass my exam the next day.

I wish I could give the computer a good kick in the butt and be done with it.
Well I'm not going to, since the last time I kicked something I ended up limping around the whole day.

So at sometime around 3am in the morning, the CPU temperature finally stabilised at 55°C and...
I had a blocked nose from the fan blasting at the CPU and me
My table resembles a scene from the manga I used to read.
The one where the computers came alive and cables crept over the whole room and engulfed the table.
I was obsessively compulsively checking the CPU temperature every time I opened a new webpage, started up a word document, typed a few words, or heck it, even when I was just reading from the webpage. In case the power of my gaze alone was enough to heat up the CPU again.

Obviously it wasn't going to be very productive so
I just left my comp on to download Okada porn videos and started playing my 5-string guitar (yeh 5 string, one string broke, nothing seem to function in my house.
Don't even get me started on the rusted and loose screws in my window, the one where I tried to screw back and part of it disintegrated into rust powder.).

Anyway its one paper down and two more to go. Yosh~!

I shall get a whole new CPU & motherboard and the works* soon I guess.
I am so in need of a money tree. Anyone has one?


* A 500 gig harddisk thats totally frivolous, completely unnecessary except for me to store MORE Okada videos~ \\(^O^)//

It's exams for my translation courses. I HAAAATTTTEEE memorising things in cheem cheem Chinese so I spend 90% of the time distracting myself.
*growl*

And after that I've got a Jap test, but thats fine. I LOOOOVEEE studying Jap, its the one thing I don't mind doing. Well, maybe because I consider watching Jap variety shows a form of studying too~~!! \\(^o^)//

Yours is just Jap tests and exams or are you taking other courses too?
