The Faulty Computer Systems I Missed

[aggienaut]

   Computer has been operational now for about 50 hours, and already is clearly extremely faulty in a number of ways. This is gonna be fun. But at least I have a working computer. It seriously feels like this year has only now begun.. my room for the first time since last june feels like I actually live here.. I've got my old music playing again...

   Now that I have real internet access again I can make some livejournal entries I've been meaning to make... like the last-summer-in-a-nutshell entry that is now three months overdue.

   I'm still adjusting to windows xp, but I'm told its vastly better than M.E. so I'm optimistic. The new kazaa though appears to be solidly terrible though; it subjects me to excessive advertising, I think it downloaded hella popups onto my computer, and it gets fewer results than the previous version!! It can barely find any Bright Eyes at all, and none of a lot of other bands.. what gives? Someone please recommend to me a better music harvester or some way to whip kazaa into shape!!

While it won't entirely solve your problem, there is Kazaa Lite. I think it's just http://www.kazaalite.com . It's essentially as Kazaa but with no popups or hidden installed crap or anything.

the abovementioned is correct, Kazaa Lite is great.

Other than that, bittorrent is good if you know what you're doing and how to use it... Which shouldn't take very long to figure out. At http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/ Because I'm not fancy with HTML

Yes, the entries can now return to their previously excessive levels. (= yay!

What happens at 7pm?

well ana is supposed to call by then. she did. i am gonna go to the spectrum tonight. with just the girls. i havent done this in a long time. super long.
and now it seems it will be just the girls all winter.
what timing

Re: yeh!

[emosnail.livejournal.com]

awww. are the boys leaving?

I miss the spectrum. You going to see a movie?

tell ana I say hi.

Re: yeh!

[eatrice.livejournal.com]

she said "hi" back.
we went to see Elf, but missed the 8:30, 9:50, and 11 o clock showings....
but we did get to see live music in deidrichs, and they played "wish You Were Here" and sheryl crow and neil young and a bunch of other good stuff i like. but i just really like pink floyd latly, so it made me happy to hear it but it is sad to listen to.
the spectrum and orange county are overrated. all these boys are all dressed up with eye makeup and smeared expressions, hands deep in their pockets. Its disgusting.

but well yeah..
how was the date?

Re: yeh!

[emosnail.livejournal.com]

damn emo boys. They're still around? I thought the emo boys had all moved on to the latest thing.

was this the diedrichs off la paz by any chance?

Re: yeh!

[eatrice.livejournal.com]

Ha! no way
it was at the spectrum...

Well I don't have any stories about the Great Leaving itself, but there is an epic saga that starts at the Spectrum Diedrichs and revisits it a few times.
