Have you finally taken the plunge and started watching Serial Experiments Lain?!

Doing summer homework at the last minute is painful.

And I mean that physically. My hand hurts because I wrote a lot.

@Bella: I've considered maybe giving it another shot; last time I tried watching it was when TechTV aired it about 10 years ago, and it creeped me the fuck out back then .___.; (Although, I've since went through and survived the End of Evangelion; it kinda feels like it's hard to get any worse than that -w-;; )

Serial Experiments Lain is awesome. Unsettling, psychically-alienating and paranoia-soaked but worth it. It's not something you can sit down and watch in one setting though, I don't think, although it's probably worth a second viewing just to better absorb its meaning, as well as all the cultural, historic and technological references.

Most people have to watch it two or three times before the full significance of it even sinks in. And that was early 90s scifi- the computers depicted still retain the characteristic whine of the early hard drives and power supplies of that time period. I kinda miss the noise actually, modern systems usually either run silently or make an obnoxious buzzing from high speed cooling fans.


Also so much rain indeed.

I got to work this morning to discover the building had been partially flooded. Not a major problem- we're still getting work done, but most of the welding shop has standing water on the floor that is slowly evaporating now that the doors are up.

oh dear.

on a more positive note, Loly's back! well, she's running windows again at the very least, so she's getting back to a more normal state. currently waiting an hour for all my stuff to finish copying over (my entire 208-gb backup). after that, i start installing things. let's dust off skype and give er' a whirl. -w-

@cockle: thanks, if it's hardsubbed i'll probably just capture it there. i wanted a downloaded copy, not just to stream, but regardless, thanks. :3

[Nichi]

Yay! ^^

So, on a positive, I did talk to the hospital about my application; hoping maybe I hear something soon from them, as it feels promising (Also, one guy that used to work there when I was there is coming back). On a negative, I'm not really looking forward to going into Wal-Mart this afternoon :\

[Chocofreak13]

i'm sorry man. if it's any consolation, i'm seriously contemplating getting a stockperson job at walmart and working graveyard. it would mean i wouldn't need as flexible a schedule since i can go to school and my volunteer gigs during the day, and work at night. i couldn't work weekends, but it's still tempting.

just finished changing the names on the missing files from the backup. now, it's time to log off mint and get loly back to being loly.

EDIT: oh, and Walker, Texas Ranger is cheesy as shit.

[Nichi]

That it is; was quite popular in these parts way back when, and had a resurgence of popularity when "Chuck Norris Facts" was still a thing -w-;

So, I didn't have to go to work; they had me scheduled off tonight, since I have to open tomorrow morning -w-

...and I found a version of Super Mario Bros. 3 I've tried to find for years. I feel like Mario here:

I have a bed-things buying problem. I just spent way too much money on new pajamas and another set of sheets. Thanks for enabling me with your moderately reasonable prices, Marshals.

I also bought another nail polish.

You don't even know how little I need have for more nail polish. I have a problem.

[Nichi]

LOL -w-;;
(TBH, I'd love to get some comfy pajamas for trap mode -w-)

[stewartsage]

I had to fight two poisonous snakes today.  I'm pretty much a badass.

please don't die, stew.

@bells: retail therapy taking hold?

is anyone else having problems loading OSC? i'm back on Loly, trying to load it on Opera and having a shitstorm of a time. the base won't load, and the index and this thread load in the most basic form; ergo, it's nothing but white, scattered text and random lines, plus the avatar pictures. (i am currently typing into the quick reply box which is extending off into oblivion.)
it was loading fine earlier at my grandparents, on IE. and Facebook/Google are loading fine on Opera, it's just OSC that's giving me hell. ><;

[Krizonar]

Hm, no troubles for me my friend.
