I'm being sad today, shaken. No help for it, except time. I've been trying to bury myself in a novel, but thoughts keep intruding...

Einar just left to discover why my birthday present (an interface that plays movies stored on a hard disk on the tv rather than my tiny laptop screen) wasn't working properly; he may have to exchange it. I hope he succeeds in winkling out the problem!

...Hunh! He just got back and the guy at the store said we had to press a specific button on the tv remote to get it to work properly. Einar was somewhat annoyed that he wasn't told this over the phone. Now he's testing it...

Einar very kindly pulled my neck a few times over the last couple of days to release the compressed discs there and I am 95% sure that the neverending headache is gone for now. Cross fingers!!!!

Tonight is the second round in the Eurovision Song Contest. The final is on Saturday. The first round was on Tuesday. Then and tonight, 10 songs (countries) are selected so that a total of 20 (about half of the total number of countries who entered songs) will be competing on Saturday. Tonight we will discover if the Icelandic song will be competing or not.

Oh, dear. Einar looks majorly p.o.'d. His attempts are not working. I think he's off to the store again...

I was given a loaner phone yesterday - a Samsung. Sounds are pretty muffled but I did succeed in increasing the volume so it is not as bad as at first. Kinda fun playing with a 'flip' phone, but I will be glad to get my Nokia back even so. I'm used to its quirks. I just want it to stop dying on me for no apparent reason!
