Okay, seeing the new Star Trek movie in an IMAX theater was worth the price of admission and the gas to get there. For the curious, it was about a 75 mile drive to the theater.

 

Wow...that's pretty geeky. And to think, only 25 more miles and you could have quallified as an uber-geek.

 

Not good, but, as Dave said, at least you now have a back-up plan.

 

Considering my two longest relationships so far have both ended shortly before planned proposals, it's a little nervewracking

I get the impression our bi friend is more interested in my bf than me anyway, she texts him far more than me, we're determined though, damnit!

On the plus side I have somewhere to stay over Summer, now that Sal has decided he isn't going to live with me and is going home for the Summer, my mother is annoyed at me over us breaking up so I don't fancy spending three months at home when she lectures me so often over the phone every day anyway.

 

8people,
you're getting more scandalous by the minute Good luck with your menage a trois.

And after wrecking my MBR and my XP installation, I eventually finished re-installing. Long live Xmarks and backed up e-mails on a thumb drive. It's so much less of a hassle that way. What's left is re-installing my games. I guess I can handle that

 

Ugh...I messed up my lower back big time. Everytime I take a step, it shoots pain down my legs to my knees...as if my back is telling them to stop.

I've decided to agree with it rath than argue.

 

And if you didn't see that coming up you're blinder than a bat.

Living together when you're teenagers (or early 20somethings) in love for a few years... is bound to end up in total failure. You taught me that much about trusting my feelings.

 

That Public Service Announcement was brought to you by Mr Sunshine!

Sal and I never lived together in the end, he never wanted to. I could see us splitting up for a while before we actually did, was becoming apparent he was just putting off over and over us being together if nothing else. Several incidents with him lead to people pointing out things weren't okay between us and all.

In other news, I am having so much fun outfitting my larp character
I have two outfits for her to wear now, one designed for guid duty, the other for general wear. Also have her teeth, eyes and ears sorted (She's a Fey'ri from Races of Faerun) have also bought a new quill and some parchment paper to practice calligraphy and encoded messages. My boyfriend and I are going to get a camera so I can sit and take pictures of the final battles and special events to upload onto Facebook as so many people complain there are not enough pictures. All the pics of me from the last event are of me looking self concsious in the Cripmobile

 

It was getting a bit obvious that you and your ex weren't right 8. He was starting to sound like a bit of prat who didn't know he had a good thing with you!

Kit, sounds like you've got a touch of sciatica

 

Finished Dead Space, now I'm on to Bioshock. And I'm trying out Condemned 2: Bloodshot, but it has some awkward gameplay...

 

After I installed XP, XP rewrote the boot sequence so that only XP would boot. When I corrected the boot sequence to start with Windows 7 again - I got the dual boot screen on startup, but XP fails to start with an error report whenever I choose it. WTF?

Anyone who has an idea on how ti fix that weirdness?

 

@Ragusa

Pick one?

The Star Trek film is amazing...loved every second of it

 

Remember that thread "Would you let your kid join/read BoM?" These days, I'd probably change my answer to it to no, with some of the topics recently covered here in RBP - too much info, way too much info...


Exam icebergs looming on the horizon - really should focus, but it's spring and life is *fun*. Sleep might end up being the first casualty in the war of Lady and Sloth. (Doing my best to disbelieve Tyrant to non-existence)

 

Just don't make the same mistakes the Titanic did and you'll survive your exams just fine

Oh and if you have any problems with anything related to serine deaminases I'm now your man!

 

I used to date a bi chick back in the days. It felt like a bizzare love triangle... though an enjoyable one. The sight of me holding my gf's hand, and my gf holding her gf's hand was... something.

 

ARGH. I am so pissed at my TV right now. Brand new Sony Bravia, beautiful, gorgeous, awesome. Except for the automatic contrast adjuster, which adjusts the brightness of the television based on the current brightness. Which would be fine, except not only does it make dark scenes a ton darker, it stays on even when I turn it OFF. What. The. Eff.

 

Wow, I overdid myself -- three new long overdue reviews for the Cigar Lounge.

Saber, what else did you expect from Sony?

ION, while sorting out some of my pics, I stumbled upon the folder that contains the pics of me and my freaking ex. At the very same moment I enter the folder, XMMS plays the Right to Censor's theme... basically, two and a half minutes of a bunch of annoying alarms and a "Warning" in an metallic voice every now and then. It made me chuckle.

Don't listen to that if you got the volume anywhere max. This is gonna split your ears unmercyfully.

 

YAY!! My wedding dress has arrived! I'm going for my first fitting today to see what adjustments need making as they always seem to style wedding dresses for tall people.

ION, Rob and I went to order a new kitchen the other day. The one we have is really badly designed and dark (it was here when we moved in). We've gone for high gloss white units, all intergrated steel appliances including a coffee machine, double oven and microwave and an American style fridge freezer.
We've also decided to have a wall taken out between the kitchen and dining room.
All in all the total is around the £30,000 mark.....oops

 

Not *quite* that bad. I had that several years ago and remember it well. I think I know what did it...I'm going to blog about it...

You're luckier than me. Apparently, XP doesn't like Win7...when I tried to do a dual-boot setup, all I got was the BSoD.

Find the ambient light sensor, and put a piece of electrical tape over it.

Dude...you were doing it all wrong. You were supposed to be in the middle of the bi-sandwich.

That's not bad...when I was working at the custom cabinetry shop; it wasn't uncommon to have a $75,000 order for kitchen cabinets alone. We didn't tear out/build walls or do countertops...so a $75k job would probably end up costing the homeowner over $100k+ once everything was said and done.

 

Kit,
I used Vista BootPro and EasyBCD. First installed Win7, then XP. Then restored Vista Boot Manager, and got the dual boot option - but was unable to start XP.
