Seeing Double

Why do I have 2 taskbar? And how can i get rid of it.

 

I sat down with all intentions to blog my heart out but i got sidetracked by the fact that now i have 2 recurring taskbar and there doesn't seem to be a way in the world that I can get rid of them.

 

I wanted to talk about my hunkering for asian culture and food since I'm living in the Netherlands now and how i chose to delete the fact that I am overseas and settle for the phrase "living in'' because there is no real overseas and whoever said the grass was greener on the other side was just confused because he/she actually crossed over to the other side of the lawn and looked at their own lawn. so there is no other side. there is just the side you are looking at.

 

i miss a lot of things back there but i cherish a lot of things out here. superficial things. things not worth mentioning. it doesn't matter that i feel like i'm living a lie out here, because i just had the impression that studying overseas was meant to be more of a suffering experience, but i'm having perhaps too good a time.

 

who can tell, meanwhile, if you want to help me...tell me how to get rid of the double taskbar.

 

self inflicted pain

I love my new laptop,

but it's 354 X 284 X 35.2 mm

 

it doesn't fit a single thing. Not

no sleeves or totes or cargo slim

 

I NEED A CUTE, DESIGNED BAG which a girl can carry around without relegating myself to be a plaid shirt wearing, khaki pants dragging tech student.

 

WHY ARE THEY ALL SO EXPENSIVE OR UNAVAILABLE IN THIS FUCKING COUNTRY!??

New house, New Laptop, New state of mind

It's been a long break from Blogger.

I was angry at your picture uploading speed, It's just such a god-damn hassle, but then again, I might not be doing things right.

 

Welcome my new house, it's 70% done in terms of decorating to my taste, like an uphill slope, you know those last 5% are always a bitch. I am up late at night doing laundry, vaccumming, cleaning and watering my plants, which is crazy but makes me strangely calm. Subscribing to the huisje, boompje, beestje (house, tree, pet...it's dutch, don't ask) mentality after all these years of declaring non-mediocrity.

 

Welcome my new laptop, I finally decided to return to portable computing after reluctantly admitting that my IBM is more than gone and I'm just holding on to a headstone of it. It was so small and so light and so damn cute for it's time, but those times are gone and I'm settling for a powerhouse by ASUS, because I'm an APPLE girl at heart with an ASUS budget and yes...mostly I am cheap. I need to know I'm getting bang for my buck and APPLE, you better make your 700EUR more than just on good looks, even though I know more than anyone good design is frankly worth a lot.

 

Dear Sonia, I hope you are happy where you are and I can't believe that barely a year ago we just left after a nice coffee at International Plaza and you've finally made it out after your long awaited exile on that island.

 

Will try again with pictures soon..thiS is my dream
