Ok, laptop is back… but I have to reinstall EVERYTHING, including iBurst, meh. Working on it, so should be back online tonight, otherwise I am totally going to flipmode. —————— So, the laptop crashed again just on the last page of my project – so much for that. It is going to the shop, no idea how long it will take but I will be AWOL for a while. Check back in a week or so… who knows. Til then, …
Ok, sjoe. My dad somehow got the stupid thing to work, only after I’d gone to the parentals last night in a total panic to get some work done. He takes a look at it, presses a few buttons and manages to get it to start. Daddies, gotta love them hey! So, I managed to get a lot of work done after the parentals had fed me and given me hot chocolate and taken me home, so deadline is back …
Running out of your bandwidth just before the end of month is kak. Running out of your bandwidth during a deadline is extremely kak… But running out of bandwidth and having your laptop crash the day before your deadline? Sheesh, words actually fail me. I have had an unbelievable stressful weekend, had to go to my mom’s to go online and do some research I needed for project yesterday, saw a dead kitten on the way home that really upset …
…which for once does not include breaking, kicking or trashing things. The other night I took these shots of the cats with my rubber light ball stress toy which is now their stretchy light ball chew toy. They love this thing as you can see from the pictures. Tiger is very easily mesmerized, doesn’t take much to put him into a trance Sonic’s head, moving extremely fast (and he doesn’t ever get dizzy, weird) Tiger finally wakes up and realises …
For crying in a bucket, sheesh Sometimes I wonder if it’s me who is the warped one on this crazy planet, or if it’s everyone else. Lately, the wack shit I’ve seen has caused me to really ponder my sanity, let alone the state of the earth. Recently I came across a post on Dark Roasted Blend about two anteaters owned by some crazy American woman, who dresses them up in dolls clothes and uses them for shows and in …
“Get ready to get wasted”, classic I just happened to come across this gem on The Quarter-Life Crisis earlier, and can’t believe I hadn’t heard of it before. Shrooms is the type of bad B-grade horror that I love best. Set in remote Ireland, with arb actors, loads of flaws but a classic and warped plot, this movie is about a group of American students who mission to Ireland to experience the best shrooms around. Taking a camping trip in …
Today has been a bit of a weird blur, with hardly any sleep and a godawful early 7am start, I had driving lessons in the pouring rain, followed by a frantic last minute realization that the back license plate was coming off (which we stuck on with gum, tres McGuyver non?), a scary but somewhat raucous stint yakking to a girl who was also doing her test (for the 3rd time) just after me in the waiting area which got …
Perfect as always This really made my day. It turns out the beautiful Becks will be climbing Kilimanjaro at some point in the future. The date hasn’t been set yet due to his footie schedule, but Bono has managed to talk him into doing the big climb with West Ham’s goalie, Robert Green – to raise money for Unicef nogal, pretty impressive indeed. As long as he doesn’t fall off or die in a blizzard and get eaten by his …
Today has been a very tense day for me personally as I get ready for my impending drivers test tomorrow morning, and battle the deadline I have while still staying sane enough to focus on work. But when I read about how bad the situation in Jozi is getting, I felt silly for my trivial problems. The xenophobic attacks in Alex have reached a point where 22 people have been killed, and up to 10,000 displaced and terrified refuges are …
…Jump! Jump! Oh yeah baby, feel that burn! So, with the winter pretty much almost here, it’s getting too dark to run after work. And that means I have to jump rope instead – which is NOT the same at all! I’ve got a love hate relationship with skipping, at least now I have my own that’s the right length. When I used to jump rope at the kwoon (before I changed to cycling instead to save my shins) I …
