DA, that's terrible news. It's always hard losing a dog. ;_; I'm sure most of us understand what you're going through, so our thoughts are with you. |

My computer has been deemed a failboat among failboats. The battery thinks that it doesn't exist. The casing is falling off. It likes to think that it doesn't have a keyboard on occasion, exempting the power button and the mouse. As a point, every Macbook I've seen has the casing problem. I've seen two Macbooks, including mine, with the keyboard problem. Not to mention the power cord melts. It's happened to mine once already. Yeah. Macbooks suck.

We were hit with an electrical storm a few days back. Was probably the worst we've had in our neighborhood; it came out of nowhere and was over in 15 minutes, but the damage caused by it was unbelievable... I recorded this using my cellphone. We were incredibly lucky - our neighbors called the fire department for a seperate fire that had started in their yard, and by the time they arrived it was under control so they were able to focus entirely on ours. I could rant about the fact that they had to repeatedly kick the machine to get it working (noise in the video was caused by the pump), but I'm just glad they were able to help... It's still depressing seeing it everytime I go outside, though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fRybXN-dXw Here's the same tree in better days: http://www.isarapix.com/pix61/1205358707.jpg Edited by Outrack, Mar 12 2008, 05:53 PM.

I got my new laptop from the school, by the looks of it, it has no wireless card. Yep... That does defeat the purpose of me having a laptop so I can do a CYBERSCHOOL CLASS in bed because I can't get out to get to a desk some days... *forehead slap* |

That sucks. Is there a slot where you can insert a bought wireless card? |

there is, but I don't have the money. I would call tech first thing tomorrow morning, but Easter Break means the offices are closed. So this is going to be interesting. They want my old laptop back when break ends. I'm certainly not looking forward to doing school in the most populated and noisy room in the house. Edited by RipTheJacker, Mar 15 2008, 01:08 PM.

This isn't really a rant, but I had a little scare today. We had these really nasty thunderstorms pass through, one of which had a F2 tornado that touched down in Atlanta 40 miles south of me last night. I had two tornado warnings today, which means a tornado was either spotted or seen forming on doppler radar. The first warning I wasn't worried about, since the storm was about 5 miles to the north and I had blue skies over me. The second one however, well... I had just hit refresh on the radar map on weather.com when I saw that a tornado had touched down only 10 miles west of my place. That's where my weather comes from, and these storms were moving at 50mph. Allow for 2-4 minutes for the notice to get on the internet, and yeah, this tornado could've been on top of me. As soon as I see the notice the power goes out and it starts hailing and raining so hard out I can't see the trees 50 feet from my window. And then the air raid sirens go off. I was seriously in an 'oh shit' moment. So I grab my backpack with my laptop, my other backpack with my birding gear (which had my wallet), and my cell phone and I run downstairs. I throw everything in the bathroom since it's the safest place in the house, and I watch the storm through the windows to see what was going on. Thankfully the storm passed quickly and there was no tornado. The sun came out and I went outside to see flooding in my backyard and all my neighbors on their cell phones talking to friends and family. Apparently I wasn't the only one to go running downstairs to hide in a bathroom. Whew... adrenaline rush for sure! The storms look like they're done, so all's well now. |

You know I am not one to vent or rant here, but when I do, it means something REALLY bad has happened... I need to before I go insane... Taken from my DA/SA Journals... WAH!!!!!!!!!!!! I have never been this nervous about finals before!!!! DX I can barely get any sleep, and my back hurts all over (Bad enough that I have to pull out the Chili Plaster Patches, which is my last line of defense before the chiropractor), not to mention that my hair is actually falling out from all this stress... X_x;;; I think about the only thing that keeps me sane until I can go home and hide in my nest with Pika-Mama and my sisters is my hunny, Draco Falconi, and drawing stuff here and there (Currently drawing things for both Pokemon Acanthite and Pokemon Unity projects). I blame my current state of mind at that STUPID woman from the collection company two ~ three weeks ago, YELLING at me to pay or else get my credit report messed with when I had ONE MONTH to pay it since the day I received the letter, which was THE DAY that she called me!!! Hell, I'm not in charge of my money!!! You need to call my mom about it!!! But does she listen? No! She rants on about how I'm an adult and that I need to pay my own stuff and that I needed to pay the stupid fee at THAT TIME or else... Dude, $1400+ not including interest of 10% per day it is late?!?!?! Like I have that money in my bank account!!! I DON'T EVEN WORK!!! Then she goes on saying that the call was being recorded. Like I give a piece of shit about it being recorded. It was 7th week of school, and I was busy, preparing of finals and studying the hell out. Then she comes along and tells me I have this crap to deal with, not to mention that she THREATENS me of all people. YOU NEVER EVER THREATEN A STRESSED FALCON!!! Oh, what makes this more fun? I tell her I need a few minutes to talk with Pika-Mama, but she goes and says that she's gonna hang up and hit my credit if I do. On top of that, when I say that I need the time, she says no, but when she says she needs to talk to the other customers she has on hold, she has me hanging for a good FIFTEEN minutes... WTF?! And she even said that I needed to pay the damned thing by 5 PM and it was already 4:50 PM!!! OMFGWTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? OMG... It was so terrible... T_T I had a mental breakdown right there, and still traumatized by it... Pika-Mama's thinking about filing a lawsuit for this, because really, when she called to see what was going on, the woman brushed her off as though it was not her business (Pika-Mama's in charge of my financial stuff). By now, Pika-Mama's about a hundred times more angry that one of her little ones got threatened this way. Take the times I was angry/pissed off, and multiply it exponentially... Yeah, you see how great of a degree that is? Then Pika-Mama called the company again and got another person, someone named Mike Hawke (Go figure... a hawk helping a falcon...), who was really nice and smoothed out everything out, including dropping the interest charges and not touching my credit report... However, she did give them one FIRM warning, firm enough to silence even the rowdiest of gang members around... So all was straightened out, and my credit report was not touched. One of my friends, unfortunately, had to see that side of me since she was over at my place, learning out to carve things from wood (I was doing a project for one of my Visual Arts classes). But since then, I've been so out of it... It may not seem that way, but really, I'm pretty torn up inside still from all this... T_T I just hope that I can get over finals and just go home to rest... Stress is not good for the falcon... >>;;; |
