like the shattering crystal of the poet cries:
"I the enigma undefined,
the error of my age;
the players and the play defamed
that tread a timeless stage.
Ay! both hero and the rake,
of tragedy and of comic parts;
the dirge at many a wake
and the wit that veins the farce."
Oscar Wilde

Yes, Kallaris, Discussions can be achieved without sharp and pointys.
Many hugs to Bird, because she deserves them.
The internet is useless, so I throw this question out to the people who read my blog:
After several years of coaxing, I finally talked my parents into a new computer. Not that it took much coaxing, this time ... they finally loaded their pathetic little 4-gigabyte hard drive into not working properly, and a lack of ... well, several things over the years has left the poor little thing riddled with problems. They have finally consented to allow me to choose a new computer for them.
Herein lies the thing. They shouldn't have anything complicated, so just a basic system, 10GB HD minimun, 64 MB RAM or 124, it really doesn't matter, basic graphics capability, basic sound card, medium-speed processor, medium-speed CD-rom, floppy disk drive, etc. A PC, not a Mac. No peripherals needed except speakers.
The kicker is that this must be done for, at the very most 500$, and preferrably less than 400. I've just about given up looking ... those that I find that are within the right price range don't have what I want, and those that have what I want are way too expensive or come with peripherals that we don't need, and those that have what I want and are the right price must be put together and that's not within my range of skills, and certainly not within theirs. The old computer can be cleaned out and purged and used for trade-in or sold to a used computer company.
Any of you have any ideas?
There - updates to the character bios on Mirrorgate, for those who want to go look. If my players could check their own bios, I'd really appreciate it.
Oy. I've just given myself a good reason to always look at what I eat. Become addicted to little rice-snacks, I can sit and eat a whole bag at once. Until I picked one up, didn't look at it, and discovered as I crunched it that it had been burned to the consistancy of charcoal...
have you ever tasted charcoal?
Reason #457 why my sister (who now calls herself the Duct Tape Fairy) and I should not be allowed near the internet. Trust me, you do not even want to know.

*raises her glass* here's to idiot internet companies and too much time on our hands! *shatters*
Yes! I'm back. Even if blogger isn't.
There is a certain undefinable odor to my dorm room. I've noticed it before, and so have Bird, Lora, Kallaris, and assorted others. I can't tell if it's "closed--in-smell" or "musty-carpet-smell" or if it's just my room. Still, after spending three weeks at home, in my little walkin-closet sized room, this place, tempoarily, does not feel like a well-wallpapered cell. In fact (or, until I moved my luggage back in) it seemed huge. Amazing, isn't it? I know perfectly well the reasons why this happens, but still, the undeniable feeling that one's room/apartment/house shrinks as time goes on is very strange. Or maybe it's just me. At any rate, I'm staring at all the junk I took with me, and all the junk I left here, and thinking of all the junk I left at my parent's house, and wondering how did I get so much junk?
Of course, I'm miffed now because I left one of my two hair-turban things (for wet hair, you know, those weird twisty things) in Mom's dryer and my new Megatokyo poster at home. *sigh* not that there's room here to put it up... but still... I'm tempted to sneak home this weekend and retireve missing things ... parents will be in Phoenix (Would that Sam's award dinner - thing had happened last weekend!) and I would not have to deal with them. Of course, I'm supposed to try very hard to free up my schedule and go with them.
Yeah, right. Just what I want to do. Drive to Phoenix with my Dad, the Terror of the Highway, spend two nights in a motel with them, go to a long, boring award dinner for my sister, who won some VFW-thing, and them drive back and spend Sunday with them. Fortunately, I have a lot of Very Good Reasons why I can't go. But I want my poster.
And I don't know if I should be worried... I loaned the first Harry Potter book to my RA before I left for Christmas. This was a friday, so far as I knew, she was leaving saturday
ok, fine, no big deal. Today, when I came in my door, the second book was sitting on the dresser, and the first back on the shelf.
Explain how she had time to do that, and what was wrong with waiting until I returned?
Now, maybe I should be grateful that I odn't have to hunt her down. And the third book is still sitting on the shelf. But I have to wonder... if she would come in here after a book, would she come in here after anything else? I was thankful that my door, annoying as it was, had a permanent lock on it. Now I think I want to add a padlock.
*sigh* All alone with my luggage. Wait! I have my computer back! I have Icewind Dale back! *vanishes into her cd pile*
I'll wave to you from Kuldahar when I get the chance ^_^.
SoTM: Karma Slave (artist?) from Titan AE. I actually liked that movie. I just wish it had been longer, there was so much more to say.
I'm truley loved! *sniff* ::waves at Bird:: We will plot ... and then when game rolls around, you guys will either all lynch me, or tie me up in the basement or something. *innocent grin* Just remember - it wasn't/isn't my fault!
ok, better now. I feel so ... disconnected, cut off from the world. Kinda like I've spent the last month in limbo. Or hell, but she's not talking to me ... or Tunk...
(ok, ok, I was forced to leave Icewind Dale and such in my own computer. But I also had to leave AIM behind! And move at least an hour away from anyone I know!)
shudder at the airplanes. Cessnas crumple *shies away from bad memories*
And I add my kudos to Icchan's to the little old man and the milk carton.
And, lifted from Ragabash:

*giggle* I let you at large decide who took that test.
And, I hope you're feeling better. but at least it might be used as an excuse to get out of working all day ... ? *ducks and waits for things to be thrown at her*
You and I need to have a Chat. And if you dare ask me about what, our Chat is going to end with sharp, pointy objects.
And I don't know if you read this, but i will review your fanfic (I read a tiny part of it before this thing crashed) when i get back to school.
Look for me again when I am safely back on my mountain.
One Ring to rule them all
One Ring to find them
One Ring to bring them all and in the Darkness bind them,
In Mordor where the Shadows lie.
