Groovay!

I did it! I got meself an MP3 player! It’s a black (duh) Creative Zen Nano Plus. I thought a purple one would be nice too but I don’t think they had any. I’m currently transferring all my Robbie songs to it :)

It has a radio (from which you can also record) and voice recorder (I don’t need that but oh well) — 1 Gb space should serve my music need (I was thinking of getting a 512 Mb instead but caved in). The LCD screen looks really nice and crispy.

Why do people hate you?

I don’t have enough energy to write really, so I’m posting this meme (via Jafer as usual) that claims I’m an…

Anal asshole
16 Cruelty, 54 Anal, 30 Pushover

You uptight jerk. All right, so maybe you don’t mean to be an asshole — it just kind of comes naturally to you. You’re the type of person who ruins a movie for everyone else by pointing out even the tiniest of plot holes. Learn to loosen up, kiddo, or you’ll end up imploding in on yourself. I’d tell you how everyone is plotting to kill you, but you’re probably too busy sending me a message regarding grammatical errors you’ve found within this test to notice.

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:
You scored higher than 15% on Cruelty
You scored higher than 96% on Anal
You scored higher than 53% on Pushover

Take the Why do people hate you? test.

N00b?

Did I just hear someone say that “I got some warning message here: ‘WinDVD is not your default DVD player. Do you want to set it as default DVD player now?”?!?

Compu(ma)terialist

I may not be a movie whore, but I’m a bit of a materialist when it comes to computers… Yesterday I heard a couple of boys talking on the train (sorry Kory, you have to see this twice :smile: )
– I just bought a new computer. It’s got 80 Gb hard drive <mumblemumble> and a 15 inch flat screen!
– Whooooah, I only got, like, 40 G!

I didn’t catch the gigahertzes or memory, but it can’t have been a lot with only 80 G! I felt like adding
– Njah njah, I got 200 Gb hard drive, 3.2 Ghz, and a 19 inch flat screen
but I didn’t. I know, my computer isn’t top notch by geeky standards, so that’s why I only brag about it in my blog where I can shut people up by saying this is my blog and this is my amazing computer. :laugh:

Oh, and his name’s Sullivan. I’ve decided now. (My computer’s, that is.)

Seen in awe at Mike’s. Let’s see how badly I’ll do…

Like a Gmail virgin

Yes, it’s possible. There are people who don’t have a Gmail account. Well, at least there were.

Shadow pleaded so I thought ‘why not’. Cwazy Mail has been acting up lately, so I have started thinking it’d be nice to have an email from one of the bigger sites (not MSN!) which might be more reliable. Hopefully Cwazy will overcome the little glitches because I like the name :) (and I’ve given it out to all internet stuff like fanlistings and I wouldn’t want to go around updating the infos…)

So, now I have a Gmail account :) I’m not going to use it for this site though because here I have a proper domain email. But in places where people don’t need to know I have a homepage. Or just places it’s more likely to start receiving spam from.

Censorship

I’m the webmistress of my aunt’s website (for a stable) and I’m currently updating the photo section. There was a new photo to add with their horse and a donkey — and an enormous pile of doo-doo.

Living the last day of my Photoshop trial I decided to use the Healing Brush Tool (don’t know if Adobe Elements has it, I hope so), so I wiped the pile (no pun intended) off the photo. I hope it’s ok with my aunt. :)

Doo before

Doo after

Quaint, isn’t it?

Music meme

List five songs that you are currently ‘digging’. It doesn’t matter what genre they are from, whether they have words, or even if they’re not any good. But they must be songs you’re really enjoying right now. Post these instructions in your ‘blog’ along with your five songs. Then tag five other ‘people’ to see what they’re listening to.

  1. Feel by Robbie Williams
  2. Shallow by Poets of the Fall
  3. Illusion and Dream by Poets of the Fall
  4. This Love by Maroon 5
  5. Irish Son by Brian McFadden

Tag: Vera, Jafer + whoever does memes :)

The benefits of photographic memory

Had quite a scare. My computer wouldn’t connect to the internet.

:shock:

It kept looking for the IP address and failing. Luckily, I remember my IP by heart (one of the “requirements” of a nerd, I guess) so I was able to ask my sister for the rest. Phew.

(No, I don’t really have a photographic memory, usually I do remember exactly where, on a page for example, the info I need is but not necessarily the info itself :smile: )

Scaleo T in the dark

I still don’t have a name for it! Simon’s stuck too good. Maybe I’ll settle on Simon the Second or Jr. :laugh:

Sullivan?
