: Thanks, But No Thanks.

Library wanking?

This post is not family friendly.

My lovely, lovely laptop returned from the laptop hospital with more issues than I sent it off with, so I am once again back on a loaner laptop from the school. It still sucks.

However, Loaner 2.0 sucks in new, more literal, ways that Loaner 1.0 did. It is still behemoth, yes, and still excruciatingly slow. It still occasionally plays hide & go seek with my files, and obstinately refuses to be pretty and perfect and fast like The Little Laptop That Could (incidentally, these recent visits to the Laptop Doctors are not a sign of weakness on the part of TLLTC: it is still perfect Just The Way It Is).

However: After plunking myself down this afternoon to get some actual "work" (unfamiliar topic, that) done, I discovered a strange thing about Loaner 2.0. Loaner 2.0, it seems,
has a dark side, as evidenced by the "bookmarks" section of my browser. Loaner 2.0, or Loaner's most recent liaison, is...how can we say this politely? A bit of a porn addict.

Gas Station F***ing? Saw Mill Sluts? Are these porn titles, or blue collar Kama Sutra chapters?

Also, downloading porn? On a school computer? Loaner 2.0's last user was either a teensy bit voyeuristic, dumb, or some combination of the two. Alternatively, this may be the fates' way of saying: "ha ha Nobody, our life is funnier when your life is more ludicrous."

To which, I have this to say: If my keyboard sticks, I'm taking notes by hand for the rest of my life. Bleach. Now.

Ew.
