It's my day off and I wanted to play games but my boyfriend switched out the hard drive on my xbox with his and forgot to switch it back. I'd do it myself but I don't know where it is and he's at work so I'll just have to wait :argh:

If you have Time Warner, I'm assuming it's cable internet? With cable, you're on a shared connection with several other people, so depending on time of day, who else is using it, etc... it's within the realm of possibility that it can go up that much.

Though it still depends on actual numbers...if you went from like 2-3 Mbps to 20-30, then that's normal, but if you went from like 20-30 Mbps to 200, then I'd say you might want to check your next bill to make sure you weren't "upgraded" without knowing.

Yes, cable internet. Up until yesterday it was 10-12mbps range, but every time I check it now it's easily 105 to 108 :stare: I'd like to just kick back and enjoy the faster internet speed, but I just know this is going to impact my wallet negatively.

If it's a black 360-Slim, the harddrive is under one of the panels on the side; there's a little lever you can get a fingernail under and pull up, the harddrive is hidden under that. Unless you meant "I don't know where the other harddrive/xbox is", in which case I can't help you :v:

There was a chocolate-covored strawberry in my froyo but it didn't taste very good.

I beat my girlfriend in glow-in-dark mini golf and I almost feel bad.

Last night was our anniversary and the clams in my pasta were delicious but one of them was weirdly salty.

I killed about 30 cichlid fry today by checking if the eggs were fertile. They were. The mom fish spit the babies because I checked too soon. The third mom fish had a mouthful of unfertilized eggs.

I gave away the five baby pythons to an old coworker, but didn't tell my mom I also gave her one of the albino python babies. Mostly because she really wanted him, she'll use him in her educational wildlife shows, and I'm not going to demand a high price from her when she took five other snakes off our hands. Despite the fact my mom has had nothing to do with any of the snakes for about two years now, she would be furious if she knew. Because clearly I haven't been doing the right marketting to loving sell snakes no one loving wants. So Jill did us a favor, I did her a favor back.

Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.
I got a new mouse when I built my new PC a few weeks ago, it's a Logitech G502 and it has much higher DPI than my last mouse and I've been slowly getting used to the higher options available on it. However my mouse at work is just some came-bundled-with-the-computer-mouse which I've now cranked up to the highest sensitivity setting available, and it still feels like I'm moving it through loving molasses.

You know how when you're semi-strenuously hiking/exerting yourself to the point where you drink a lot of water but you don't have to pee, simply because your body needs the water?

I wish I had that 24/7. I like drinking a lot of water (zero cal, reduces hunger pangs, is refreshing), but hate how I have to pee so much. :(

I'm rapidly running out of comics to read even though I have an enormous access to new books.

I've a cushy but mind-numbing job that I want to leave but there is not much available unless I learn a new programming language. I can do it but my Internet access at my current job is restricted heavily, so getting in lessons and practice is hard.

Witcher 3 is loving fun but my office is on the top floor and it's boiling up this summer.

My landlord raised our rent. It's still below market but it makes me angry.

I'm stressed about leaving the dog at the dog sitter's in August for a nice vacation. The last time we went out of town we boarded him at the vet and the vet only gave him half his food and my dog lost 10% of his body weight in a week. This time we are leaving him at a new dog sitter who friends have used and is very nice and is willing to email updates every day. But I am still very stressed. :(
