I hate spyware.<\/p>\n<p>I was trying to look for Jamie Cullum lyrics on some site and then&#8230; BAM! Pop-up after pop-up after pop-up&#8230; and then something seemed to be downloading onto my computer and I couldn&#8217;t stop it! ARGH. $#@! Stupid lyrics site. I&#8217;ve run both Adaware and Spybot and the weird toolbars\/unwanted programs seem to have gone away but I still have the occasional pop-up. Anyone know what else I can do?<\/p>\n<p>Spyware sucks. Thank goodness my laptop is still safe from evil. For now.<\/p>\n<p>I spent the entire weekend watching my <i>West Wing<\/i> season 1 DVDs. *sigh* So good. I watched 19 episodes in 2 days! I&#8217;m a little pissed though because the 4th disc doesn&#8217;t work. Grr. I wanted to check out the special features but when I put the disc into my DVD player, it made a really weird noise and then &#8220;No Disc&#8221; appeared on the screen. I tried to play the disc on my laptop as well but the same thing happened. Fabulous. Now I have to package the darn thing and mail it back to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.deepdiscountdvd.com\" target=\"_blank\">Deep Discount DVD<\/a>, which is kind of a pain. I&#8217;ll have to wait another week or so to get the replacement set. I guess this is why I should just buy my DVDs from a normal brick and mortar store. No waiting.<\/p>\n<p>I also managed to watch the series premiere of <i>Desperate Housewives<\/i> on Sunday night and I really, really liked it. Great, another TV show to watch regularly. Heh. I read that it did well in the ratings &#8212; if the ratings stay consistent or get better, I wonder what&#8217;s going to happen come January when <i>Alias<\/i> is slated to return to the timeslot? Will they move one of the shows to a different timeslot? Should be interesting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OMG. I hate spyware.
