Aw, Luck It

2 Comments

So yesterday (07/07/07) was supposed to be the luckiest day of the century. Uh, I didn’t get lucky. Nope. Not at all. It was just a regular day. If anything, it was a boring day. I ended up organizing the pics on my Zune and adding a few more Doctor Who eps. Fascinating.

I did discover a torrent (not well seeded) of the first 26 years of The Doctor, and within the next week, I should have the first two seasons. See? Unlucky seeding. Also? The complete torrent is 201GB. I don’t know a lot about techno stuff, but I’m pretty damned sure I can’t get 201GB on my 120GB hard drive, especially when I have something like 13GB available. See? Unlucky hard drive space. I’m going to have to go a couple of seasons at a time, burn them, seed them, and move on.

I got all my hair cut off Friday. I don’t think it to be an unlucky situation, as it’s very cute, but if I had waited until yesterday…

I have a sneaking suspicion that this morning’s coffee is the only thing keeping me awake right now and I’m seriously considering taking a nap–yes, at 9:00am.

zune1.jpgOnce again, I’ve received more than I deserved. I am currently enjoying ‘s Narnia vid “Brother, Let Go” on my incredibly cool Zune, color black. Heh.

As usual, my mom and dad went all out on the gifts and bought not only the Zune, but several accessories to go with it. In about 20 minutes, I had nearly all of my favorite vids loaded. The quality is actually much better than I had heard it would be. I have noticed that my vids made larger than standard look better, but it’s because the screen is actually a little bigger than 320×240. All the fanvids I’ve put on it (about 50 so far) look and sound terrific. I’ve even decided to carry a purse so I can tote my Zune around with me at all times. I’m love it.

In addition to the Zune and accessories, I got the Wizardology book to match my Egyptology and Dragonology books, an encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt, Borders gift card, Wal-Mart gift card, Lowe’s gift card, sweater, several pairs of argyle socks *geeks out*, a banana leaf platter, caramel-pear candle, indoor/outdoor thermometer, fleece pullover in school colors, cash, candy, extra lint roller, a pail of Smore’s goodies, and a truly indescribable gift from my dad. Mom said I’d give it away as soon as I saw it, but how I could I ever abandon my new baby gorilla?!? It’s going to scare the hell out of Hobbit and Istar, but it really is a cute little thing. We’re still LOL about it. I know I’ve left out some gifts, but I’ll update to include them.

Merry Christmas, everyone, and thanks for being the great friends you are!

Lost, lost

Well how do you like that? I’ve lost all of my S2D2 LOST eps. They’re gone…poof. The disc is blank. I used that disc to make ‘s clips, so once again, I KNOW they were there. I’m starting to think the brand of discs I bought may be unstable in some way. Regardless, I’m pissed. Very. I finally get a vid idea and I have no footage. I don’t have the original source material anymore because, you know, BURNED TO DISC. Dammit. I’m going to use the song for a SGA vid anyway. It would have been better for Sawyer/Ensemble, but it’ll do for a nice Ronon/Ensemble too.
