My name is Laura and I am an internet addict

On Wednesday, around 4pm, my laptop started getting all freeze-y and annoying. I finished up what I was working on (pretty important document summarizing the output of an estimation meeting we had just finished, of which I had the only copy) and restarted my computer, only to discover that it wouldn’t start up. Whether I tried safe mode, safe mode with networking, start Windows normally, or last known good configuration, it would freeze at some point in the boot processs and never get me anywhere. After calling my company’s IT helpline, I learned that the only solution was for me …

Psyching myself up, blog-style

The days of not having a full-time project are so up and down!

First of all, this morning I grabbed it out of my suitcase and realized it was dead, because I hadn’t charged the battery in a week or so. But I …

Are you KIDDING me???

From my race today: Chip Timing System Fails. Race report will be up tomorrow now that I know I don’t have to wait for them to finally post the chip times because OH, there won’t be any.

Half-Marathon Race Playlist

Everyone seems to always be asking for new music to add to their iPods to get them through a run, so I thought I’d share some of my favorites from my half-marathon playlist. I had a lot more music than just this on there, but these were the ones that really got me going. Britney Spears – Stronger “Cause now I’m stronger than yesterday…” We’ll start off with something pop-y and cliched. This came on as I was approaching mile 10, which was a little more than halfway through the second loop of the course. The longest race I had …
