I got all excited when I looked at Livejournal and saw people talking about snow, but then I realized that those people are in Portland. Grrr. The only snow I got to see was a small layer piled up on someone's car. Siiiigh.
In the ongoing saga of Dead Alphonse: I was all ready to reformat the hard drive and reinstall the OS, but in the middle of installation, I got a "cyclic redundancy check error," which stopped the installation, and which apparently indicates that there's something wrong with the CD, or something wrong with the CD-ROM drive. This happened on multiple install attempts, so I took out the Windows CD, and it was scratched all to hell, so it looks like the CD is the problem.
I am incredibly pissed off about it, because the CD was perfectly fine the last time I used it, and I've always kept it stored in the sleeve, so how it got scratched up like that is a mystery. I think I may have loaned it out at some point, so it might've happened when it was out of my hands... grrrr. That's a good $200 down the tubes. Either way, I'm royally cheesed off, and my computer is *still* broken. Argh!!
Anyway, on a more fun note: Brokeback Mountain re-enacted in 30 seconds by bunnies! FEAR THE BUNNIES.
Last night was good. We're revising/adding to the broadsword form, in order to get me over the 1-minute minimum for Berkeley, so I learned part of David's form, and holy craaaap, it's fun! I love the flowers and other spinny techniques; I feel like I can put some real fire into it, heh. I'm so pumped right now it's ridiculous. After practice, I had dinner, worked on the computer, and actually sat down and watched some TV. Imagine that.
Speaking of which... Project Runway Babble! ( Teh winnar! )
That's all!
