Stuff happens

First and formost, my computer is finally fully up and running again. yay =D
After having recieved my first new grafic card around the middle of the month, which turned out to be faulty (black screen of death and nothing beyond that) I returned it to sender (shoutout to the good guys and gals at Pixmania for being super helpful) ^^d
So today I recieved my Radeon HD 6870 ... again. Not taking any chances this time around, I dressed down to my tightywhities (myth about static from cloth. 10pts if you can tell me where I picked it up =3 ) and said a prayer to the machine spirit before I turned om my computer. Don't know what did the trick, but it worked =D
Some driver installation and settings fiddling later and I'm lucking at a crisp clean screen image
T_T <-- tears of joy.
It's amazing, I'd actually gotten use to that 600X800 res with reams of grafic errors up and down the screen.

The lay offs at work are finally over, after something like two months of stress. last week, the last two got the axe. One I'm not ashamed to say I was not sad to see let go. The other, a bit =/ lady had worked there for twenty years and while I  didn't talk much with her, she seemed nice enough.
But atleast it's over and done with.

I'm also working on a small project of getting a personalised wax seal made, you know, to seal packages and letters with a bit more personal touch. Still designing my monogram though, tricky buisness =)

Saturday this weekend tittered on the edge of being a real shitfest, but actually managed to get it's balance and stride into the zone of awesome =D
my saturday started 4 in the morning T_T my freaking eyes acting up, possibly a small cold messing with me or I'd slept with my eye open or something. one way or another my left eye was playing merry hell with me and watering and itching like a mofo.
So no sleep for me the next hour an a half.
7 in the morning I got up and dragged the laudry (long overdue) down to the wash room. hour later I discover that the drying is fried, leaving me with a shitload of waterlogged cloth DX
So I go all spiderman on my appartment and tie string left and right across my living room and hang the cloth up to dry. I just need two dogs and a pair of italiens and I could have recreated the dinner scene from Lady & the Tramp nicely =3
Then off to my grans birthday, which was cozy enough, if I was feeling rather wasted and fnah.
Afterwards I went home and took a nap, sheer desperation, believe you me. You see, sleeping during the day for short durations utterly messes with my body and I feel positively nauseas the first hour or two after I wake up. But If I was gonna be any fun during the evening I had no choice.
So around 18 the First guest show up and we eat dinner and get ready.
around 20 the last guests arrive and I explain the rules for the Disney's hercules drinking game =3
It's very simple, there's about 20 rules dictating when you gotta take a sip when a particular thing happens in the movie.
It was hysterically fun and a sure way to become utterly shitfaced mighty fast if you don't pace yourself =D
... I didn't XD we went to bed around 4 in the morning and four hours later when I got up, I found the door to my appartment open. [Insert mental image of me doing my best impression of the "the scream" ] well nothing had been stolen and appearently I didn't close the door properly when I let out the last guest going home. One of the guest sleeping over, told me a neighbor walking down the stairs earlier had poked his head in and asked if we were okay ^^;
So my OCD with locking my doors been a little over active the last few days, but totally worth it. tremendously fun night =)

now I go for a run. tata people ^^/

the machines are taking over??

So, I shouldn't complain, but I find it suspecious that my fried grafic card has recovered and is working again, only days shy of being replaced ^^; and I don't mean glitch gone away, I mean broke as in crashing my computer if I didn't shut it off. Now it strangely enough works again o_0 does anyone get images of the T1000 reforming too? don't look a gift horse in the mouth they say... what if the horse is tooting a plasma rifle?
Anyways, while I remain free of the mechanical overlords dark will yet I might speed you up on current events =)
I got myself a calender (I know, not all that riveting, but stay with me) First of it's been bugging me for a while that while practical that I ahve my calender on my computer desktop and easy to keep an eye on, I don't have it with me, when making arrangements with people. thus stuff slips through the floor boards of my memory occationally or I forget to write them into my calender.
So I went and got myself a moleskin =) and felt like personalising it ^^

Admitted, my penmanship needs work, but it turned out alright for a first try =) (10 points if you can tell me where I got the text from =P )
I'm also looking into gettting a personalized signet made at an engravers shop, right now I'm hunting prices as I'm getting the design down.

And I got a freaking cold >_< so I missed out on the family trip to Bakken (amusementpark/fair) much to my brothers annoyance, pissed me off a little. 'cause a runny nose, itchy eyes and supporting bone structure made from jello is way more entertaining than spending time with your family.
