My laptop's really acting up, so I decided to reinstall the OS. (It's probably something I've installed, but I can't work out what... and it's making Safari and the finder keep hanging, and it's driving me mad--I would prefer to wait till Tiger is out next week, but I may damage something in frustration if I wait that long.) So I started copying stuff onto my iPod and went to get the CD... but I can't find it. I KNOW I should have it--I was using it to install developer tools a couple of weeks ago.

I looked all over, then went into the state where I clean up and throw out lots of junk in the hope that it turns up. (I don't know why I do this. It never works. What usually happens is i tidy, decide to have a break to cool down, and then the missing item mysteriously reappears. But perhaps the tidying is a necessary step.) Still no luck.

Luckily, papaspoof has it and will loan it to me. I have to trek to the depths of South London, but it'll be worth it. Of course once I have the borrowed CD, my copy will turn up. Murphy and I are well acquainted.

In more annoyance, my stomach appears to be a bottomless pit. So far I have eaten 3 meals today (cornflakes, sandwich + KitKat, leftover cabbage and noodles) and I'm hungry again. And I don't mean bored and snacky, I mean I was sitting here reading and my stomach growled!
