The bluest skies...

Lots has happened yet again, and I haven't been keeping my bloggie-chan up to date, boohoo *tearful eyes*. Well the good news report is just overflowing lately, first of all I got nothing below a C for my grades at college which is cause for celebration (I never thought I'd pass my morphology & syntax class). A professor who's usually a meanie with grades gave me a B+ for my Survey of Fiction class, and I got an A in a subject I'm not too fond of, Shakespeare and his Age. Plus, something I'm really horrible at, I got a C+ in Translation (2), which I must say was a great relief.

I'm downloading the new Ragnarok Online client, it should be fun! I provided them with our address in Denmark so I hope they don't try to contact me that way *sheepish grin*, it's just that my country where I reside most of the time wasn't listed, bakas all of them. In other news, I've finally collected all of Trigun, got gutwrenched and jerked a few tears and all, overall a really nice series.

Oooooooh and I also bought Fake, which was such a good buy, all you shounen ai freaks out there should get it. It's funny, which I never thought it would be, there was like 0.0000000000001% angst throughout the entire 60 minutes of it, which I think is quite an accomplishment in the anime world of gay men. Of course the story does center around murders and the solving of the mysteries behind these murders, but man I just think Dee and Randy (Ryo-chan) are just the cutest couple ever. Oh and another thing before I forget *adds Dee to her Harem Bishi Collection* there! Don't expect to see explicit scenes of sexual activity, it was milder than Kizuna, but I still loved it, it's hilariously funny.

The next step now is to try and get the import mangas from Anime Nation. I just pored over some of the stuff they have there and they had Fake, Kizuna, and another yaoi/shounen ai title I forgot, but heck I never thought I'd find them! So those are next on my list! I took Ruby out to lunch on her birthday last Friday, man we stuffed ourselves silly, same day I bought all those videos, oooooooooh and I saw anime-version of human Inu-Yasha, KAWAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!! *Huggles an Inu-Yasha plushie*.

Oh and I don't remember if I mentioned it previously, but I got my own domain now, so people can pay a visit to Mugen Pink, to see my art, OR you can go to hypnos, to see my yaoi fiction and drawings. Been soooooo busy writing some fiction, trying to fill up all those "coming soon..." slots on the site, but I wanna enjoy my vacation too :P

Oh yeah the other good news, I still have almost two weeks left of my vacation, nice nice. I can do quite a bit of damage in that amount of time, bwahahahahahahahaha *cough*. Dad's sick poor thing, and yet he refuses to go and see the doctor, he still believes in the home remedy stuff; lots of rest and plenty of blankets. No wonder doctors are striking and going out of business, I mean it's people like dad that frustrate the poor guys. Still, I think mom is winning the battle, she'll have him seeing the doc in no time *sweatdrops as she hears mom ranting in the background*.

Oh there's kind of a mix of bad luck with good fortune though. Since my problems with the computer started we've been demanding our copy of the windows XP OS from the company we got our PC from. They claimed that the fact the CD doesn't come with the PC was a new arrangement recently struck up by the IBM companies in the UK, and it turns out (after consulting with the official Microsoft offices here in Kuwait) that their claims are true. So if my PC goes screwy in the future there's no way to save it, which sounds ludicrous but hey no one said that salesmen were smart (no offence to any smart salesmen that may exist).

Which brings me to another point, women have such a great sixth sense don't they? Since the whole investigation into this lil issue started, I went to a computer convention held at the convention grounds my uncle manages. I bought a windows XP CD from there, at a cheaper price as well because it was a con, it's an original copy and it has its own key and everything. But I always had this feeling that things wouldn't work out somehow, and that I had better buy the CD then and there or kiss my chances goodbye.

My sister even tried to discourage me, but I had this strong feeling that I NEEDED to buy the CD. Lo and behold, I'd be seriously screwed had I listened to her, ne? Don't get me wrong, I love my new PC, it's the best thing that happened to me since meeting Kamiyu (a close second at any rate *huggles her wuvvle-chan*), HOWEVER, since there's no guarantee for the software, and it's not under the warranty license then I'd be obligated to pay them to clean all the shit out on the PC if it gets virally infected or just refuses to boot up, like what happened last time.

Why would I want to lug my PC to the nearest workshop just to get it formatted if I so wish? Why do I have to pay an extra charge of 45 dollars just to have a technician come to my house? Who would then probably tell me they need it brought to the workshop instead, because they're too stupid to manually fix it at the customers' homes. Money wasted ne? I invested 90 bucks in this disc, sure that's a lot of money, but in the long run, who's benefiting from it?
