I wanted to put up this list before I forgot. ...it seems to be growing...which means I'm going to have to work two jobs on top of the summer classes I might be taking. Whee.
But I need the money. ^_^ This stuff ain't free. This summer means big things. I'm working on making my desktop a functional machine that I can use for a good amount of years. Right now, it's a peice of crap. Got it summer of 2001. Yep, you guessed it. It's running the feared ME. -_- I hate this OS with all of my being. The damn computer will shut down the OS, everything is fine, but it blue screens before kicking off. So I'm stuck with pressing the button to turn off the comp. I'm sick of it. I've stopped using it when I go home it pisses me off so much.
So I plan on cleaning everything off of it, then cackling madly as I wipe the shittiest program off the face of the planet....of my computer. ^_^ It'll be like when I canceled AOL. I yelled at the service guy when he tried to offer me more service, then laughed maniacally as I deleted it off my parent's computer.
But anyway, I plan on shelling out some serious money upgrading this thing. Here's what I want:
A new HD, at least 80 gigs
More RAM
Windows XP
A video capture card...maybe, haven't decided
An external zip driveI'm tinkering with the idea of trying to sell my printer and getting a newer one, one that doesn't use ink so much and a helluva lot quieter than the one I have now.
Like I said, two jobs -_-. I'm also gonna be trying to sell some art over ebay this summer as well. I've gotten into painting and I've also got a kick ass design for a windchime. Feng Shui lovers will like it a whole lot.
I'm hoping to find time to work on a new website that's being hosted by my AMV mentor and kick ass friend. I'll finally have a place to stick up my vids.
Speaking of which, I hope to get my Cowboy Bebop one into the works this weekend. Let's hope I find the time. I also need to find an encoder like VirtualDub or NanDub that will work with Windows XP. Mine will not and it's driving me insane. I need to rip my Gawl DVDs so I can start on that vid. I wanna have a few enteries for AWA this year.
Fariest and Fallen will continue regularly scheduled during the summer, and I apologize for this weekends fucked up coloring. I got sick last week and I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing. I messed up the layers and when I went back to fix it, realized I couldn't. -_- *bangs head* We've got a longer one than usual this week, so I'll make up for it, I swear...
Well, that's my life. Lol, like you really wanted to know.

Yeah, so I'm about to be sick to my stomach.
My computer started making funny noises last night. Then it crashed. Started it up today, thought it was okay. Two hours later it started making the noises again. Got nervous and pressed the button, turning it off when it looked like it was so busy it would crash again.
Called Toshiba. They said they would strongly recommend that I back up my stuff and send it in to them.
Called best buy where I got it. Tech guy said it sounded like Total Hard Drive Failure.
.....
Problem: I turned it off. No telling when the HD will crash permanantly. NEED STUFF OFF OF IT. ALL of my shit is on there. I'm going fucking INSANE over this! I have to find another comp to network it to, and pray that my whole 30 megs of computer data from my laptop can DL to the other comp before my laptop's HD crashes for good.
*sighs* It's not been a good day. What I don't understand is that everything has been fine. The computer has shown NO signs of deterioration or problems. Everything was fine until 3am last night. Now, I don't know if that means it isn't the hard drive, or what, but all I need is my stuff and I can deal with the rest. I really can.
The shitty thing about this is, is that my lap top is SIX. MONTHS. OLD.
I WANT MY STUFF!!!!!!!!*cries*

Mardi Gras is soon!! If you're going to New Orleans, keep these in mind.
Ban'ket (n): A sidewalk, correctly spelled 'banquette'. During Mardi Gras, banquettes serve as a measurement tool for sobriety. If you don't trip and fall in the gutter, its time for another beer.
Canal (n): A waterway connecting two bodies of water. 2. A large ditch dug to facilitate drainage, thereby making it possible for half a million people to live in a bowl shaped area 12 feet below sea level. 3. A home for nutria.
Doubloon (n): 1. A Spanish gold coin. 2. An aluminum coin thrown from Mardi Gras floats. Its worth derives from the number of fingers you stomped on when you covered it with your foot after it hit the ground when you missed catching it in mid-air.
Dressed (adj.): 1. Presentable, covered up. 2. When referring to po'boys or other sandwiches, indicates the inclusion of my'nez, lettuce, and tomato. NOTE TO SUBWAY, BLIMPIES, AND OTHER YANKEE CHAINS: Dressed does not include onions, so stop putting them on my sandwiches. See, Nuttin-On-It.
Go-cup (n): A container for an alcoholic beverage which is consumed outside any establishment with a liquor license.
Hurricane (n): 1. A large tropical storm consisting of sustained 75+ mph winds and heavy rains and the infamous 'storm surge' against which we are warned by local officials looking for tax increases. 2. A large tropical drink created at Pat O'Briens, the consumption of which makes you feel as if you've been hit by a large tropical storm consisting of 75+ mph winds.
Po-Boy (n): N'Awlins version of the yankee submarine sandwich. Start with half a loaf of hard-crust French Bread, coat both sides with Deep South Mayonaise, layer on a handful of shredded lettuce and thin-sliced tomato and fill with anything you want. And we do mean anything. Ever try a French Fry Po'boy from Giorlando's?
Zulu (n): N'Awlins Mardi Gras Krewe, composed almost entirely of men of African ancestry. Zulu is famous for its gilded coconuts. They used to throw them to the crowds, but recent insurance innovations have required the throws to be handed gently to a few lucky parade-goers. The St. Patrick's parade had the same problem with their cabbages
Show me ya' Tits: Request. The required payment for a string of expensive looking 75 cent pearl beads tossed by krewe members from Mardi Gras parade floats or by out-of-town visiting drunks from French Quarter Balconies. Also a request made by a male visitor to his prospective date to ensure that he is not propositioning a male impersonator.
Trow me sumptin, mista!: Request. "You, sir, on the Mardi Gras float. If it is not too much trouble, could you toss me a string of those expensive looking 50 cent pearls, or perhaps that cheap plastic cup? Thank you."
I still use this language though I've been away from the city for 6 years. It stays with you! For the rest of it, go with this site!
