Freaking Hiijacking losers

Yesterday around 5:00, I was merrily working on my demoreel, when I noticed a small window appear and disappear in the top left corner of my screen. It was only visable for a few seconds, but it looked like the window you get when you copy something to another location, it was the status bar window. Anyway, red flags immediatly shot up, but not before my computer was brought down to the ground with about 6 parasitic malicious spyware apps running concurrently. I killed those processes and ran Adaware. 487 new pieces since yesterday. And none of them were tracking cookies. Here's the thing. I wasn't doing anything on the web. I don't know where that crap came from. Well, come to think of it, I clicked on a link in an email. So, that's never smart and I shouldn't have done it either. Dangit. I hate farking spyware!

In other news, here's some Harry Potter predications for today:

Harry Potter will not win the war
Voldemort will be killed, but a successor will arise quickly from the ashes of the Ministry
Harry Potter is too popular

I'm really tired, but I had some more waffles from work again, and it was great. Waffles make the day go faster.

I didn't have any waffles, but I did have a nice game of darts. Would you like to trade?
