Shaow: Awwww, we should totally live closer together :3 I'd spoil you rotten >:D
TC: xD I know very little about computers too so I just look at 1)prize tag 2)size of hard drive and memory ^_^
Azure: *checks* Fujitsu Siemens AMILO Si3535-002. And I'm hoping the specs are easy to find online seeing as I just lazed out there >.> w00t for Star Trek! :D
Morphy: ... Good question. Let's see if I can answer it somehow >.>; My current comp has an HDMI and a DVI port, whereas the monitor uses ... *asks dad* a VGA cable.

SO! It's been very warm/sunny around my parts for quite some time now, which kept me from beading and srsly browsing the web. Then I got really sick with a cold (almost collapsed ... from a cold O.o;;; yeah, it was bad). It's still lingering a little but eh.
Most of my time has been spent in front of the telly, watching Star Trek: Voyager! :D I finally gave up on the idea of watching it together with mom because it's been more than a year since we last saw some episodes and I just don't want to wait any longer >:O .... And to appease my guilt I bought her a box set of a Swedish comedy series. And a cd >______>
Today was a break from Star Trek while we (mom, dad and eldest sister) voyaged on over to IKEA. Bought some smaller stuff (lamps, a chair) and planned for a follow-up trip where/when (?) I'll be purchasing some desk materials to make my computer space work better for me.
And before I dribble down the stairs to pounce on the fridge, here's what everyone else has been up to that I couldn't reist:
Mmmmm-mmmmm!
Buying a new computer is easy and takes no effort. Installing it, however, does require a bit of attention. When unpacking my new slave from its box I realized that there was no compatible socket/plugin for the monitor cable and thus required me to either purchase a brand new monitor or find some kind of connector. I settled for the latter. Untimely enough I lacked transportation to the shops which caused a days wait for that part. Then it took (roughly) another day for installations 'n whathaveyou (started late, then there was breaks for food 'n stuffs, hence the long time). The following couple of days were devoted to familiarizing myself to Vista. Not too keen on it but it'll do.
So that is what's been keeping me busy.
And yesterday my younger sister paid for train tickets to Gothenburg so she could take me to see Star Trek :D!!!! During the weekend I got an excited call from her begging me to come down for a "nerd out" xD She'd seen it with some friends but wasn't able to share her enthusiasm with them properly. So obviously she called on me to fix that ;p
Having heard so many good things about it, along with my sisters obvious approval, I worked really hard on chopping down my expectations to prevent a case of disappointment. And disappointed I was not!
Great pacing, they balanced the campyness marvelously, visually and sound wise I was blissfully pleased! There were so many quotable scenes packed in that it was hard to recall any specific ones afterwards, because they were all fighting for attention, lol. And man, the cast was so hawt!! They were really cast well ^_^
Definitely gotta see it again, soon! Preferably with my younger sister :p Can't wait to see Up with her now!!! :D

Sooooo, I finally got around to checking out my Facebook account (which I only really started to follow Shin's beard watch) and sorted out the requests and tossed around some comments or whatever they're called there O.o; If you've tried to contact me there and wondered why you've gotten no reaction it's because, well, I don't use it ^_^;;; Bweeeeee!
Wrestled a necklace for a couple of hours today. Made the stupid decision to create one with 5 rows (or more accurately, 3 rows of beads and 2 rows of chain) =.= If 3 rows give me troubles then it shouldn't be hard to figure out just how bad 5 will be, right? But hey, whatever the necklace needs done I'll do! Half measures aren't my style and stubbornness runs deep in my family *sagely nod*
Continuing on in the vein of jewelery, I've come across what might be a good starting platform to showcase my stuff. It's very basic and rough so suggestions/advice are most welcome. As time goes by I'll be able to be more specific about things (for example: if I can reproduce an item, a shipping cost chart, etc) but for now it's kind of bare.
By the by, is PayPal the way to go in terms of money dealings?
I've also ordered a book with photos of the necklaces I'd done up until a certain point, to show people more locally. It arrived yesterday and even though it was somewhat pricey it's definitely good enough to receive approval from everyone in the household, haha.
*streeeeeeetch* And now it's sammich time! :D
Mwar
I've been feeling funky these past couple of days. And not in a groovy, yeah baby, kind of way. Sadly. Though I'm sure there are people who are glad/relieved about that ¬¬
(Haha, I used to have the shorthand code to that smiley down pat. Can't remember what numbers + ctrl that prompted it /sad)
Nothing much else to say. Almost making one necklace a day. Waiting for a package of beads to arrive. Choosing the shipping option where you can track it was a big mistake because now I anticipate the arrival more than normal since it gives me a rough idea of when it's supposed to get here, as opposed to almost forgetting about the order and being totally surprised by the sudden appearance in my mail box ^_^;
@ Red: Aaaaaaah, no! Now you've made me want to read up on the manga, haha. But instead I shall torture myself by waiting for the weekly anime episodes. For some reason I can't commit to both medias at the same time. *ish strange*
Bon reservoir, mes amigos!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*SPAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZ*
.... I just watched episode 219 of Bleach and loved it. They must've poured some monies into the budget because it looked awesome and pretty and amazing and I had to remind myself the parents are getting up early for work or I would've made a lot of noise watching the episode <:D
Hisagi is among my top favorites (if not sassily perched on top of the #1 spot) in Bleach and it's been a long wait to see some ass kicking coming from that direction *purrs with delight* So gorgeous ^_____^
.... I kinda don't want to spoil the mood by watching the following episode, though. It didn't look too good. However, considering who we're talking about I wouldn't be surprised if there's a bounce back. Hope so O.o;
Yumichika's episode was lawl. And the release was mighty pretty. Which was only fitting :p (Infinite lol-ew-lol @ the opponent, by the way *snortchuckle*)
In closing: Hisagi *_*
