If I had an iron I'd iron the irony right out of my life
0 comments Posted by RedGypsophila at 12:49 AMOkay, I think it's time for part three of my Random Ramblings!
So I'm looking into buying a new laptop. I had one basically designed but my dad's doing wh-knows-what and keeps not buying it. I could buy it myself, but he did say he'd get me one and unlike my parents who have jobs, I'm not made of gold. I realize they're not made of gold either, but they have more cash to throw around than I. If I had a picture, I'd post my sister's $300 dollar prom dress that my mom bought her (I think I told you guys that story... If not, my mom bought my sister a $300 prom dress, which she then had to hem and stuff). In comparisson, my dress, shoes and accotrement were only $25. Because I'm awesome.
Yesterday I was doing something on my computer (nothing creepy, I just can't remember what it was-probably something dorky like gaming). Didn't add anything to it, didn't delete anything. Then this morning I turned it on to the Blue Screen of Death. I restarted it in Safe Mode (it told me to) and the same thing happened. CRAP-SICLE.
Now, I wouldn't be THAT unhappy, since my undergrad career is over and I can go ahead and purge my computer of most of its data now anyway. And I wouldn't even be terribly bent out of shape to loose my music, since it is on my iPod and I can use that to put them back on my new computer. But there is, on my computer, a certain folder, which holds certain documents that I VERY MUCH DO NOT WANT TO LOOSE. They're part of an EXTENSIVE on-going project that I have been working on for OVER FOUR YEARS. I got two freakin' degrees out of four years of work, and so help me I will live and these files will live to see their fruitation as well!
But they are not yet to fruitation, so I won't say what they are. Is your interest peeked? Too bad, still not telling.
For several days now, I've been thinking about how I need to put them on my flash drive. I have earlier copies of them on it, but I've changed them a lot so they're pretty outdated now. Once I realized that my laptop was dying I was subtly asking my parents if they could get data off the hard drive (and by subtly, I mean directly). Long story short, after much strife, my computer engineer pappy was finally able to hook my hard drive up to his laptop and pull the folder off. YAY!
And it is now safe and secure on an external hard drive. I can breath a sigh of relief.
But I can't help but notice the quicidence of my laptop dying right after I spent several hours researching and designing it's replacement. I've got my eye on you, Lappy. Literally, because I'm typing this blog entry on you.
Without further ado, I present the most likely cover of my new laptop. It's for the birds! (Hahaha, I crack myself up):
YAY! I'm having a good day today (sorry to those who are not). Which is nice since yesterday I had only an okay day. It ended better than it started. It stated with me burning my hands. Curse your delicious cheapness, Cup O'Ramen!
I tried to take pictures of it using the camera function on my phone but they didn't come out very well (Plus my stupid phone won't hook up to my stupid laptop to deliver the pictures - too much stupidity, I guess). The burn really isn't bad and it doesn't hurt anymore, but it's the first time I've burned myself and something's actually remained. The water was boiling and just off the stove... to be honest it mostly looks like I have rosacea, which I do not.
Days like this make me wish I had a camera, or rather a good one. I have two cameras actually, but one is a film camera so it's pretty much useless now (It was just about out-dated when I got it... I was happy to get it but in hindsight it was kind of a foolish Christmas present). The other one is a digital camera but it eats batteries like their going out of style (which they probably are at this point) and it doesn't have internal battery so it's just about useless most of the time... There was a really pretty picture opportunity by the Art-Soc building (that looks strange written by the way), but it wouldn't have come out using my phone.
That was the start of my good day. But then I got a package! It's the Flight book from Amazon. It turns out I ordered it on April 3rd, not March 31st.
- I need to master my temporal understanding better, so that it is as awesome as my spatial understand.
- I apparently need to be more patient.
- Where oh where is my GRE book?
I'm actually very patient with most things. I'm not at all an instant gratification kind of person. The only thing I'm not patient with is technology, because it's suppose to be fast. So when it is not fast, it's not doing its job. (That's right my laptop, I'm talking about you).
Anyway, now's the part of the post when I share pretty things with you my reader(s). One of them was shown to me by Alice (is "by" the right preposition in that instance?) but I figured I'd pay it forward since it's so pretty.
Skyfeeshies say: Click on us! We have super-awesome, hyperlink action!
When this was shown me the other day and I immediately knew I had to post this... Let's see if I can get YouTube and Blogger to work together harmoniously.
Okay, so I could not get YouTube and Blogger to coexist in a harmonious fashion. I used other means. But it got here nonetheless. PS. This guy/These guys is/are the same who made that Coinstar commerical where all the coins come zooming out to form a shoe or phone or something you can buy with your extra change. I lovez them. Or at least their videos. Plus their first video was an XXX video of chair-on-chair action. How can you go wrong with that?
Perhaps the only thing interupting the zen of my day is that my roommate (who is no longer the kind of person who goes home every weekend) is on the phone talking really loud in our room. I'd move, but I want to take advantage of our sweet bay window. Gosh Darn it! Maybe she should go downstairs and talk loudly there. It's not like we don't have space.
Because I don't want to add on a bad note (plus she's off the phone now), I'll end with this:
Punny Question: "What did the dehydrated frenchman say to the other?"Punny Answer: "What do you want me to do, Pierre?"
Hahahaha (Get it? Pierre = pee air). This pun is brought to you by the most recent episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, The Decent of Man. Which everyone should watch just for the Steven.
