FINALLY I've been able to get computer upgrades. You want to know why this was so badly needed? My computer was made in 2004. Yeah. Abysmal. But my friend was able to get me a bunch of ram sticks to replace my old ones, effectively doubling my ram. (still horribly low compared to any other computer...but it is more now so might as well be happy about it) He is now seeing if he can find me a bigger hard-drive (mine has 149GB of space tops...I have 6GB left. CURSE YOU FUN YET MASSIVE SIZED GAMES). He isn't sure about a better graphics card, I've upgraded that like three times now and it is amazing for what I have, but he is also looking to see if he can find a better processor too. And to top it all off? I might as well just give the entire computer to my sister. Reason being? His dad said there is a small chance he can get me one of the unneeded computers from his work. If so then at the very least that is a seven year make mark up. *MASSIVE UNMANLY SQUEAL OF MUCH NEEDED DELIGHT)

He gave me a webcam as well, so I could use it for skype and such...but my internet has a very small monthly download cap. So I think I could only use it sparingly...and I don't even want to think about how much lag it will have. But hey ho we can always hope. If not at least I still have the messaging option. s'worked well so far. just wish I could use the cam. I'll check within a few days, see what it is like.

apart from that? Joy that my costume production is going well, fear that it may not be ready for mcm, and sorrow because I spent most of yesterday in horrible unending pain for some unfathomable reason. But kitty snuggling makes everything better, so there is that! :D

Joy: I found my favorite drink in a vending machine: Naked juice, mighty mango flavored! :lol:

Sorrow: I never actually got the drink due to me having to spit a $20 with someone in need of bus fare, and the cashier only had $10 bills, which wasn't even valid enough for the vending machines.

Joy: I came out with a lot of good carma and still had $10. :P

Sorrow: I missed watching Derek Jeter's last game yesterday... Heard that it was a finish only fit for a legend.

Joy: I solved some programming-related problems impeding my research.

Joy: I nearly forgot that tomorrow is my birthday.

Sorrow : It will be my first (second) birthday without my grandma (grandpa).

Boy, pain and pleasure really are a two-headed monster.

Haha, sadly, no. I'm nowhere near experienced in mountain climbing. Just a two week hike to the base camp, then spending some time in Kathmandu.

Yes yes yes! I sure hope it snows too. The view is quite breathtaking I hear.

Joy: Going shopping with friends on Wednesday!

Sorrow : Leaving Europe.

Sorrow : The fire set in the Aurora, CO ATC tower by some [censored] delayed my flight to O'Hare from Paris now it's delaying my flight home to KCK. Best yet his [censored] attorney said it was all one big [censored] mistake. I swear America is turning into one big reality tv show.

Joy: I finally found a place that I can go to instead of that demented vending machine where I can get a Naked: Mighty Mango drink.

Joy: Only 3 days until the season premiere of season 4 of TLOK, the last season.

Joy: The same day starts Fall Break.

All those years of good karma are finally catching up. ;)

Sorrowish Joy? : The backup battery my friend is letting me use may have some issues with it. It took a lot of cable fennagling to get it to even turn on without beeping up a storm. But I think I've got it now. Maybe I'll just go out and buy a surge protector, I mean, I never really need a backup battery. But I'll try some more fennagling and see what does.

Sorrow : So after finally getting all the money for my CPU and motherboard I put it all together only to find out that nothing works. The keyboard is the only thing that works and the drivers screen cannot be navigated by keyboard. I'm angry enough to kill someone. Because for the next 6 or so hours I ha e nothing but a 30 pound paperweight. Possibly longer than that.

With my computer, some ties it would crash because the gpu cooling fan wasn't plugged in all the way. I am sorry to hear that. I understand those kinds of troubles (I deal with them to)

Joy; my family finally got the hint and are going to finally surprise me this year.

Sorrow : It got better. And worse. Everything works now but the graphics card I have is displaying blue lines on the screen. Usually a sign of some sort of failure or another. I swear to god if this results in yet another RMA to nvidia.
