After the furry alarm clock woke me, I still wasn't sure if I was getting up. Still not feeling great but apparently do not have swine flu. Probably it was just the AIDS and I'm fine now.
So I laid there and skimmed my friends list on fon. Saw a post in the lv comm asking for a couple things I could do, but I wasn't about to go offering my services to some random vegas person I didn't know, started to scroll down, went "wait, the chick in the userpicture looked familiar", scroll back up, and it's loopy! I have opera mini set on very small font so I see a lot on my teeny fon screen, so I rely on userpictures to tell me who's who most of the time and don't look at the names.
So I texted her, and said after I ate I'd go on a hunt for the elusive power cord to my beast printer/scanner/copier/fax/picturecardreader/probablygivesblowjobsifIcouldfindthatattachment, thing.
Since I've gone all linux on my desktop, I recently moved the beast into J's room for installing on his computer when I found the power cord. I used it with linux before on my dual boot, but being that it's a combo device, I couldn't do everything with it that the beast is capable of. Figured that it was far easier to put it on the windows machine and use it with the original HP drivers, and just network it so I can still print to it from the other machines.
THE BEAST PRINTER:
I then ventured into the closet of doom, rifled through a few boxes, and found several things right away that had been missing, but not quite yet the power cord.
I found my big ass silly sunglasses (yay), J's old fon, the remote for his DVD player that he was asking me where it was not a few weeks ago and I told him it was HIS remote so how should I know. My awesometastic pirate shot glasses, my nifty TP roll extender for the larger rolls so it doesn't rub against the side of the cupboard. And my HOT PINK glucometer.
So of course I put in a fresh pokeyguy and asked what my blood sugars are. 112, I'd just eaten, fine and dandy, my sugars are all behaving these days so I didn't really need to know. Ow my finger not used to it. Will be poking the Jman again though to see where he's at.
Back in the closet, next place I looked, POWER CORD!
See? I even labelled the damn thing so it wouldn't get confused with any other cords. I knew it was here cause I'd seen it when we moved in, but then couldn't remember where I'd seen it.
Installing the huge HP drivers now so it will again be usable for its scanny function. Need to get it some new inks so it can provide printing and copying as well.
