Here it goes... my kitchen timer is busily ticking off my 10 minutes... I really don't feel like typing right now, but here I am, typing anyway... Rob & I went to Borders today to find a new organizer for me to keep track of my shrink stuff. They didn't have anything, but they did have a very cool wall banner involving Ed & Al from FullMetal Alchemist. Next week, when we're closer to payday, I'm probably going to go get it. We've been trying desperately to get rid of knick-knackage, but damn, it's got Ed & Al on it. I've really gotten into that particular show. They also had some manga comics - FMA, Inuyasha, Trigun, a few others. None were as dirty as we hoped for. It was kind of neat because most of them, even tho they're translated into Engrish, read from right to left - in other words, the books are backwards. Even the covers open the wrong way.
My computer makes me feel stupid. I'm not good enough to use it. I finally got the adapter to hook a VCR up to the computer to download movies onto it. Rob fucked around w/the sound cables so I could get sound as well as video. So I managed to save an episode of Trigun on my hd (only 980mb!). Then my DVD recorder wouldn't, for whatever crack-monkey reason, record the movie onto the DVD. So I blew up & had to remove myself from the immediate proximity of expensive technological equipment, and at about 4 am. reloaded the DVD burner drivers. So I managed to dl the movie onto the DVD, and of course our DVD player wouldn't play it. It just sat there making grinding noises & flashing 'LOADING' at me. So now I think all I've got to do is figure out exactly what format our DVD player plays, because it's not MPEG-2.
Or if it is, it's not Windows Media Player MPEG compatible. I don't know, I'm not a programmer.
I don't want to go to work tonight. Yesterday I ate everything we had in the house in a sort of anti-dietary-suggestion snit fit. Carbs, carbs & more carbs.
I offered my m.i.l. my copy of Merck's Medical Manual & Rob happened to mention that I had ordered a replacement copy - so now the m.i.l. wants the new copy, not mine. There is absolutely nothing wrong w/the one we have, but she thinks we've got the plague or something. Cooties, I don't know.
