Glennalicious: Terror from the Deep

Terror from the Deep

I should be writing (as I promised) about math. However, I've in week two of math training downtown, so I'm not really in the mood to write/discuss more math.

I should be writing about my trip down to Atlanta. However, it is both sad, personal and still being processed, so I'll just leave the post of pics of donuts.

I should be writing about the FABULOUS and fun birthday super-yummy dinner for Kate-who-hates-birthdays that we attended Sunday eve, including great food, a promised walking tour of Harlem, and me mistaking cock for cop/breaking into hysterical laughing.

I should be writing about my new gym routine (week two) and the fact that because of arm lifts, I can't access anything stored higher than shoulder height. I should also take before pics, so maybe I can have after pics.

I could even post a picture I took in the park the other day. Okay, I will post it. I like this pic, as he was cute and airborne. Click to embiggen.

I could, nay SHOULD write about those things. However, I can't function until someone helps me with THIS:

This is X-Com, Terror of the Deep- a game from the 90's that ran on Windows. I loved it, and I've been craving hours of playing it. Graphics were terrible:

It doesn't matter. I was so addicted to it, as it was suspenseful and fun. I found a place online that sells it for $5. Done. Downloaded. Studly Tom gave me Virtual PC for my powerbook Mac. Downloaded, and I'm ready to play my game. WHAT!?!?! I still need a version of Windows OS? Dagnabbit!

What I need from you, dear beloved friends, family, and readers: I need Windows 3.1, 95, or 98 Windows OS CD's for installation. My computer neither wants nor is capable of running Vista. If anyone has these, I'm willing to pay in either cash, dinner, beer, or whatever else (fixing a car, killing an annoying person, terrorizing children, whatever).

PLEASE HELP MY GET PAST MY FIXATION SO I CAN BLOG AGAIN.

Have you no shame, G, soliciting for Windows?

And is there a command center downtown for math? New York City has everything.
