Update: Now Where Was I?
Shit Buckets and Snow Internet.
That's right!
Update time!
A shitty day was, the yesterday. There's no doubt about that.
I got through it though, like a champ. The champion of shitty days!
I did it so nice the world must have thought, "Hey! Why not? Let's make him do it twice!"
"Yeah! Great idea!"
Update
Time to close the laptop.
I finally hit the hay at about 5:05 a.m. today.
I noticed the time for the final but not last time I'd see the time today when I was asked if I'd like to:
So many options, but I already knew what to do.
Then I noticed something odd. Not odd in a strange way though. More like odd in an unusually peculiar way.
I wrote the word update several times in my previous post. I was becoming quite accumstomed to seeing the word update because it was written so, so very many times.
My eyebrows lifted when I went to shut down the PC and noticed the word update is once again staring me straight in the face. I wasn't expecting to see that word again so soon.
"Update and shut down," said the screenshot I never got a chance to take.
I thought to myself, sure! Why not?
Convenient, right! A large update, taking place, as I sleep. This 2018 future stuff sure is fancy!
So I smashed that button and went to bed.
Woke up quick, at about noon. Just thought I had to be on my laptop soon.
(Slipped in an Eazy-E reference right there. I was actually up at nine.)
I opened the laptop after supplying a few needs with their desires. As in, I took a piss and grabbed a coffee.
Still Updating
It said, "This might take several minutes."
So with all of my might; I did my best to just deal with it, drink my coffee, look out the window, walk to another window, look out that window, walk to the laptop, observe. Still updating.
But I have shit I need to be doing, Mr. Update.
Shit that never ends, Mr. Update.
Shit-Shit-Shit-Shit-Shit, Mr. Update!
Shit-Shit-Shit-Shit-Shit!
(Slipped in a Mighty Ducks reference right there. It should 'quack' instead of shit though.)
Another Day Without Internet
When the update finally finished, the PC crashed.
After all that waiting and bird watching, I was greeted by the most hideous sight any member of the PC Master Race will ever have to face in their entire lifetime.
Yup.
The Blue Screen of Death.
Then, nothing.
Several reboots later; still nothing.
Luckily for me, as well as you, because you like reading this shit; I knew just what to do.
Rather than calling that guy on the phone who pretends to be busy and puts people on hold for thirty minutes just so he can recommend unplugging the damn machine after he's finished jacking off, I got straight to work.
Ain't nothing to it but to do it.
I didn't really want to do it though. I knew the entire process of resetting would be the easiest but also take a long time. The thing is, the only time I run out of patience is when I run out of time. I'm on a strict schedule here.
Piss - coffee - laptop.
Needless to say, I saw a lot of birds today.
Sparrows, chickadees, crows, and a pigeon chasing a magpie.
"At least they get to have fun," I said, to myself, out loud for some reason.
I made it out alive.
Minor scrapes and bruises.
Sure, it took all day, but I'm back in business.
The birds never got a chance to peck my eyes to death so that's good.
The best part is; it smells like a new car in my laptop now! Purrs like a kitten. Works like a charm.
Isn't that exciting!
So That's Two Days In a Row
What are the odds?
Two days in a row and I'm swinging at curve balls while life decides to take a shit down my throat.
Speaking of balls. I wonder if the world has enough balls to throw shit at me for three days in a row?
Hey world!
I'm up two!
Are we making this a best of seven?
I hope not. This is getting old and moldy.
Then, quite suddenly and for no apparent reason, this Dickhead Clown with Eyes popped up out of the water that didn't even exist until now.
Have a nice day!


You know what, @dreemit? That scene pretty much sums up my experiences these past couple of days.
Bring on tomorrow, fuckers!
LOL, yeah, as I was reading your plight that scene came to mind. Lieutenant Dan? He was mad! Is that all you GOT? Hee.
Oh man oh man, the wasted years waiting for updates to install. I have been there so many times thinking, cmon man I need to get on with shit. To no avail. I hope it's not the best of seven!
If it the best of seven, I'm half way there.. PLUS.. the next two games are at home.
I don't know why they call them updates though. More like fuckedates.
Haha, exactly right. I can't believe you got the BSOD. or rather I can but that's fucking terrible!!
That is a well portrayed Dickhead Clown with Eyes. Just enough creepy and just enough so-that's-what-my-computer's-soul-looks-like-when-it's-not obeying-me.
I didn't really put much thought into it, to be honest. Straight from subconscious land. Strange how it turned out to be so fitting after all. Thanks for looking at my Dickhead Clown.
Well good job Subconscious. And you're welcome haha =]
I had a similar experience a few years ago, except with a Mac. No deathy blue screen, just a file folder with a question mark on it.
Like this:
Except it's flashing. Nonstop. Like it's mocking you with a question that has no answer. Or worse, it doesn't even know what the question is in the first place. Either way, you're fucked.
Also, my car broke down three times last year! Here's to all that exciting 2018 future stuff that's probably coming my way! I'm sure Dickhead Clown will somehow be involved.
On a few occasions, I had the words, "Please wait," and a few dots that like to travel in circles going round and round. Stupidest movie I've ever seen. If I saw, "Please wait," inside of a fortune cookie, I'd be excited. This little game of runaround was dull and uneventful. What am I waiting for, I thought. More waiting? What does might mean and how many minutes are several? A surgeon can tell me my operation will take 2 hours. Microsoft can't tell me how long their shit is going to take? What a bunch of Dickhead Clowns.

I think your Dickhead Clown with Eyes should be the Windows Update mascot. The name is apt, as is the way he rises from the water... eyes staring at you like "Oh, I see you planned to train this neural net for your final project overnight.... How nice.... I think now would be a good time for a mandatory uuuupdaaaaate.....!"
Or I'm just projecting my personal tragedies onto your work. How selfish of me!
Fuck Windows. I'll never use it for anything serious, ever again.
That Dickhead Clown with Eyes would be a perfect mascot. I didn't even think of that. Now there's a reason for the damn thing to be there. This day just keeps getting better and better! ...slowly... it's almost over. Bill Gates owes me some life back.
The Windows Update from hell. And they never seem to end, do they? And not just anytime, but only when you are busy. Like it knows just when that is. I guess all these devices talk to each other, work out who to pick on next.
Ah, the joy of a connected world. Now excuse me, I have some internet living to catch up on...
They seem to be going full retard, as of late. I was so impressed by the timing, this time. Sleep it off! I thought... Turned into a nightmare...
The Windows version of a horror isn't I Know What You Did Last Summer, it's I Know What You're Doing Right Now! Nightmare indeed.
You should follow in the footsteps of Peter Freuchen. The man was a beast, a scholar, and an Arctic explorer. While facing death after being buried in snow in his igloo, he came up with a crazy creative way to free himself. He fashioned a knife out of his own frozen poop! Then his dug his way out to freedom! He wrote a book about it called The Vagrant Viking.
So take that poop bucket, freeze it in the shape of a router/modem, and all your shitty internet problems will be solved!
That's genius! Shitcicles would make great antennas! I'm going to get started on this right away! Thank you for this wonderful information!
The champion of shitty days! hahahahaaa xD
its true that windows 10 ask for too many update and several build in apps make itself so heavy i think..... ate up too many spaces.
but still i love it and believe that its the most advance and user friendly to the user...
I like to remove the clutter and run a minimalist system. Just the things I need. I haven't been able to get to the clean up part yet though. I had a finely tuned machine before this reset. I'm going to miss it.
Minimalist? :/
though I don't know about it but can wish you a good luck for that. <3
I really appreciate your artwork, very beautiful.
I also play art genres like you, if you do not mind you bole visit my art blog and give your best opinion. thanks
I'll check it out in a bit, when I have time. Thanks!
thanks to your time :)
Very exciting to know how you handle such a hectic situation on such a difficult day.
There are situations in life that seem similar,but they always makes us come out stronger and better. Nice post I must say.
Yeah. It wasn't that bad. I got to see birds. Now I know how a cat feels.
