AX2K5 Day Two

Due to the late night we kept the night before, we slept in until noon; thereby missing the KOTOKO concert completely. Ah, well… I heard it was awesome, but there was no photography allowed, so my friends who went to the concert had no record of the event for me to look at, at the …

AX2K5: Day One!

We stayed at the Marriott on the first night we were in Anaheim, because earlier in the week, I received a second confirmation notice from the Hilton stating that I had a reservation from July 1 to July 5, instead of the June 30-July 5 reservation I asked for. So, since I did not go …

Weekend from Hell

Who here likes working weekends, anyway? I used to, because I had no social life, but it seems that the Bay Area members of the LiveJournalers seem to like to get together on days they don’t work. Now, I’m not sure if anyone knows what I do for a living, but let me just say …

Sixth of Six

Today is my sixth day of work this week, and I’m happy to say it will be my last until next Tuesday morning. I really need the next three days off to just relax, because having to drive between San Jose and Brisbane five days in a row was beginning to wear pretty damned thin. …

Laptop Blues, Part Two

Continuing from the previous story, my laptop did get repaired and I’ve had it back for two weeks, now. The power problems appeared to be resolved, until this week when the power issues returned. Color me annoyed. I called the repair place back to let them know, and they said they guarantee parts and labor …

Laptop Blues

Well, last week I dropped my poor laptop off at the nearest Toshiba depot. They said they could repair it, but it would cost me $600+. So, of course, I said go ahead, please rape me and my wallet for out-of-warranty repairs. The good news is that they’ll finish today, so tonight I will have …

[SakuraCon] Day Minus One

I’m back, safe and sound. From reading through my friends’ list, it looks like at least three others also went to conventions this weekend, not including those who went with me. 🙂 The following is a day-by-day convention report, for those curous. I’m cutting it, to be friendly to flists. The players: : Me! : …

3,297 viruses

That’s what my Norton scan told me last night after I ran it for THREE HOURS. So, I was sitting there, inputting the new titles of the aiko cd I picked up at Japan Center on Monday, and all of a sudden, a whole stampede of browser windows began popping up without warning or my …

Word Count for Sunday

41,865 / 75,000(55.0%) Sunday was an interesting day. The snow fell, I saw Constantine, she cooked a turkey dinner which was awesome, and then I settled in to write (but not necessarily all in that order). Before all that, I was frantically cutting and uploading U203 for Unwound’s broadcast that night. I forgot to do …
