Things seem a bit better today. I was super productive and adopted a no stick attitude. I have decided to be impervious to things that happen and work more on getting out of my current position. This shift in thought put me in a better frame of mind. I also was super productive and I got a lot of things done on bitchetta's event. I am professional and would never let her thing effect how I perform on a project. That is how I roll.

Anyhoo. Glad, I am that it is Friday.

So my old PC has decided to crap out on me. I think it is finally dying. I do have another computer (a mac) but the PC was my graphics making machine so not sure what I am going to do about making graphics right now. I cannot decide if I should replace the PC or not. What do people with macs do about making graphics? Are there programs out there for the mac? Just checking.

So that is about it from this end. Thanks to everyone for the supportive comments on my last post. Really appreciate it.

A really nice sample from We Love Guys who got this from Fantastics Magazine. The universe aligns to give us this shot. Two of my faves. Woo.

This guy's name is Tegan. I found that interesting. *pause*

*Not safe for work*

( Tegan's tush... )

What is going on in my world...

I hate losing an hour of sleep. This changing the clocks thing. I know, I know. More light but it really hurts to lose that hour of sleep. *whines* I did sleep later than usual to make up for it. So that is good.

Yesterday's movie turned into a really great experience. We switched up and decided instead of seeing Coraline, to see The Watchmen. Oh la la. It was long but it did not feel long. I was riveted the whole way through. It was goth, dark and really great. I had not read the graphic novel but I really loved these characters and their anti-hero thing going on. I give this one an unequivocal GREAT in the phyncke review scheme. See it. I feel some icons coming on. :)

I should do a work update but I don't feel like it. I am working hard, I will just say that. No time to mess around. I will do a work update soon. The major news on my reclass is that I am working on my job descrip and getting that done to see what level I will be at. I started it and will work on that some here. My sister in law is really good with power language so I will have her take a look at it too. She can jazz it up. Yayus. Want to slam dunk on this one.

On the car...I think I can get to the DMV on Thurs to get new tags. *mutters obscenities* He he he. That will be fixed soon.

I have to replace my external hard drive so I have been dealing with some data issues. It was damaged by the Dish TV installer when he came in here. He knocked it off the table and it became un-readable in Windows. I can salvage my info in Knoppix and will get a new one paid for by the installer company so that is the upshot good news. *nod* I am happy that I can save my image collection. Would not want to lose that.

Uhhh. So I guess that is an update of sorts. Good and not so good.

Cheers and happy Sunday. I contemplate a meal at iHOP. Hmm. Or make pancakes here? Hmm.

I went through and I picked my faves for you here as a year end special for us all. I figured that was fun and I am late. Well I am making Monday Bunday for this time. It rhymes too. I have the power!

Not dial up friendly but so very worth it. Happy new year all...enjoy!

( The 2007 Bunday Review... )

In other news. I swapped out my hard drive and my computer is really fast now. Better, faster. Yays. BUT I forgot to archive my Photoshop/Image Ready...argh. Well I did archive something but it is not a working version of PS. Why did I do that? You got me. I will see what I can do about this. I have offers open in my graphics things and they are more popular than I planned on. So we will see what I have to do about that. I may have to post out on those.

Low key new year's plan. Setting up programs. Cooking in. Music...maybe a movie and I got some Emmet's to enjoy. That sounds nice to me.

Scuse me while I go collapse. I will be loading software tomorrow. Too tired to see straight.

Cha.

I bring you previously viewed material.

( La la la... )

My computer has crashed and burned so I am out of commission. I have to buy a new hard drive tomorrow and reset things up here. It will set me back some. So ... this is it for a little bit. Right now I am running on the miracle of Knoppix a freeware OS that allows you to run when your computer has died. If you do not have this get it. K-N-O-P-P-I-X. I really mean it. This is a life saver. You make a DVD, you keep it and when you need it you boot up on this thing and you save things. You can also get on the internet, on chat and do just about anything with it.

It rocks.

I don't think I will lose much but this is a major hassle. I spent a day of my life and someone's time too, trying to save this computer. I thought I had it but nope...no enchilada. I think this thing is about to go belly up.

So I will be recovering my stuff for a while. Good thing everything is on an external hard drive. I learned that lesson last time.

Night night and have a good Sunday.

I just got my...HUGE MOFO EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE.

500 gigs, baby.


Woot.

Data nightmares Batman! My external harddrive wigged out and now it is unreadable. All my stuff is on there as I use it for storage of all data files. All my chats, all my piccies, all my ICONS!

*wails long and loud*

I am going to the computer dudes to see if I can fix it or salvage the data.

Pray for me. I will be one very unhappy camper if I lose all of that.

*meeps*

My computer went boom last night. I was happily on-line chatting last night when all of a sudden it rebooted and I got the dread message "disc read error" and could not get it to boot up windows again. I could hear the drive chug-chugging and trying to read things. It is just such a horrible thing. So I call my own personal computer geek, Michael. I thought, "He will fix it, he knows everything." Well he cannot fix it. He says it is toast but he can give me this nifty program called KNOPPIX that I can run on my computer so that I can be business as usual while I try and get things fixed up here. I can browse, chat and all that jazz. I just have to save things onto those little external drives for now. I spent hours last night saving files with him at his house. The drive kept failing as we tried to get things off. I got the most important things off. My writing and my created works. So that is good.

What a freaking nightmare.

I have to call Gateway today and see how to get this handled. It is within warranty so they better fix this pronto. I kept my old computer in case this very thing happened. I guess I will be hooking up my macintosh while I send this one out for repair.

I apologize to anyone I was chatting with when the computer went. I blipped out in a hurry....

AUGHHHHHH!!!
