You know that thing, that thing where if you make a journey in half steps, you'll never reach your destination? Like, the store is a mile away, so you go a half mile. And then you go a quarter mile. And etc, etc, until you're right in front of it but you still can't go in because you can only cover half the remaining distance? And eventually you're like, an atom away from being in the store but you can only move a half-atom forward? And then a quarter atom? On like that for infinite?

Um, I think that's the thing, at least.

Anyway. That's how my house-cleaning goes. I clean enough to feel like I can actually get started, and then I clean enough to feel like I'm making progress, then I clean enough that it starts to look good. But no matter how much I clean, in the end, the house is still a mess.

Yeah. I think I inhaled alotta bleach fumes. Whoo! :)

Haha

Hahahaha, I defeated Windows XP and figured out how to get images to open--apparently, it's not enough to save them off the 'net the way I did with Windows 98, I have to open them in the AOL picture gallery, make some minor change (resizing mostly) and then save them with a new name!

OK, so that's probably not what I really have to do but for crying out loud! I read the users' manual, asked for help, beat the computer about its monitor and still no answers, and no images, not even in my photo manip software. If anyone knows a less elaborate method, please do share. In the meantime, I shall make icons. Bad ones undoubtedly, but practice can begin, at least.

But, yes, this is basically me spamming LiveJournal because I kicked Windows' ass--

(and don't anyone try to tell me different. *G*)
