  Blah
                     

Computer decided my D Drive, which housed all my music, backup files, and documents was bad, and corrupted the partition while it formatted the other drive. Great, Just great. No more files for me. All the anime should be ok. Computer also decided Ti4200's are bad, as it just corrupts the desktop and makes the screen cut out a lot when the drivers are installed. Oh, and Microsoft says I have activated Windows too many times...

So I bought a mac:

  ITS LIKE I CAN ACTUALLY TOUCH YOU!!
                     

Just got back from a long 3 days.

Friday-
Spent most of Friday filling out a scholarship application. It is from Stow-Kiwanis-something and it awards $1000 to an aviation major who graduated from Stow High School and does community service. Thank you Service Learning! You finally come in handy! This should help with that damn medical fee and my flight insurance, should I get it. I think I am the only one who applied for it. This took me most of the day, and had me running back and forth across the entire campus like 5 times. Good thing 6 flags has put me in pretty good shape. I decided to go to the animation show with Jo, Yash, Will, and Tim after this, blowing off the anime club. I decided that it had been a long time since I had done something with them, so I would have fun there. Arriving at Jo's place was, let's say, less than welcoming. He completely ignored us for at least a half an hour. I know he was having a hard time with his dad on the phone, but he didn't even look at us, and we were right behind him the whole time. I was halfway on my way out the door to go back to kent as he hung up the phone. Oh well, time cures everything and we went out to the animation show (presented by Mike Judge and Don Hertzfeldt) at Case Western. Will brought his 12" Powerbook (the saem one I am looking at buying). Granted, it can't do directx, but it is one hell of a cool laptop. And it's virtually the only 12" laptop that has a built in dvdrom. So expect me to buy one later. The animation show was awesome, with fucking awesome and new Don Hertzfeldt movies. (You have to see them to understand the title of this post) And I'm making a wallpaper out of the flyer for the show. (See yesterdays post)

Damn! out of time, will update this post later

  The thousand dollar day
                     

Yesterday was possibly one of the worst days of my life. It started out with me being informed that I have to pay $670 to cover the xrays and stuff when I broke my elbow in mid august. I hate insurance companies. They charge people like me so much money to insure because I'm such a "high risk" being male and all. They don't know me. I haven't even gotten one speeding ticket and it costs me over a thousand dollars a year just to drive a decent car. Then, when you actually need insurance, BAM! They don't cover anything. Why, why is it legally required? I hate you, world. Then I got another email saying that an ebay auction I had bid on was cancelled. "You, the buyer are not legally required to send payment." Yeah, too late for that. Now the guy is going to steal my money. It was just for some cold cathode lights, but it doesn't mean that justifies it. A few hours after that, I tried to turn on my iPod to listen to some music, and it won't turn on. FUCK! WTF IS WRONG WITH TODAY. What did I do to piss off god lately? Was it going to work and being nice to people all day? That must have been it. So the iPod turned on when I plugged it into the computer, and I was able to save the anime I saved on it, but it wouldn't come out of "unlock mode" so the buttons were useless. So I tried to restore it and it just died. Well, Apple is letting me send it in for a free replacement or repair, so it's not that terrible, but I will be iPodless for a while. This saddens me. Then went to dad's place for dinner and sold him my laptop, so I am laptopless as well. Not sure if I am going to buy a powerbook or not, but all the other laptops I have looked at have not impressed me, so I might. Oh, and I have to renew my flying insurance, so there's another $250 down the drain. You all wondered why I was saving so much money. I fucking hate insurance.
