I fiddled with it and got the internet to work, and the sound to work!
But the little thing that pops up when you plug in a harddrive or flashdrive doesn't come up anymore. and I have to manually run Explorer whenever I restart/turn on my laptop because it doen't automatically start anymore. But that is insignificicant in the face of EVERYTHING ELSE WORKING.
It only took what? Three weeks?
It is also good that it works because my dad can't find the reformat discs. o:
I've totally missed having a keyboard this small. And in this exact format, really. o: Been using this, and pretty much only this, laptop for four and a half years now.
Also, I have an 8 page research paper to write by 4PM today! And I haven't started! And I have to revise a 4-page paper after that!
I'm listening to music on my dad's laptop (while writing my four Women Studies Seminar essays, thanks very much), and I'm noticing something odd.
Different voices are coming to the fore while others are sinking behind into the background. I wonder if maybe the sound settings are WAY off from what kind of settings I usually have.
I'm using good headphones, a make I used for about 8 years that have never failed me. I think it's the internal sound system that's having some issues.
Also, the bass is super bassy. Maybe I should listen to Danse Macabre again just to make sure of the emphasis. xD;
PS - I love love love Sugizo's violin-playing. o: It's so pretty and haunting.
I have this urge to watch J showing off in front of the pyrotechnics again.
It's really heavy. But it will do for writing all the papers I have due this week.
I got my tax return thing today!
Good job Seattle!

And then I went to Daiso to look around. And they had this package with a ratchet clip and big metal hooks and five meters of bright flourescent green nylon strap. for $5.
5m = approx 4.5 yards.
So I debated for a moment before buying it. Because usually the conditions for buying something is I have to have an idea of how I would incorporate it into the outfit.
But I'm thinking of making a pair of pants to alternate with the skirt for a different look. I'd be doing it in the style of Pretty Sakito Cosplayer's friend who had a costume that doubled as a working straightjacket. So I bought it.
And...
I just pulled it out of the packaging and looked at it closer and it's even more flourescent than it was in the store. It's practically luminescent in natural light. It's fantastic. It's eyebreaking. I love it so much already.
Also, I hear that the Girugamesh concert is going to be on Friday with an opening by The Slants. Hangry and Angry are playing on Sat, and The Slants are playing again on Sunday.
So you know how honey is supposed to have healing/medicinal qualities? Like, making sore throats feel better when put into lemon tea, and being better and more gentle than an antibacterial wipe for when babies have cuts? And whatnot?
Well, I just swished a mouthful of honey around in my mouth. And it almost entirely healed the two sores on the bottom of my tongue.
This is a miracle substance. Seriously.

Actually, I suppose it's my wisdom teeth that are giving me grief. They're coming in (more) (again) (still...) and every time they advance more, they shift my other teeth around slightly and the sharp points rest in new places on the underside of my tongue and form sores. They come edging in a little more every couple of months, two or three times a year. A week or two ago I could feel them coming out more and prying their way through my gums. It's kind of like teething all over again, except I don't remember teething the first time around.
So if you see me talking strangely in the next week or two, I'm just trying not to open my mouth enough to scrape the sores.
Dear Laptop,
Please stop shedding screws all over the bed. They are like giant pointy metal crumbs. Also, now I have to replace them.

PS - Some of your keys aren't working, can you get on that? Thanks.
The original idea was to make a slightly bunchy, jagged skirt out of approx 8 diamond-shaped pieces of cloth and then edge the bottom in green.
But now I'm considering making a skirt out of maybe only 5 or 6 panels, making it less bunchy, but over the top of the skirt itself attaching free-hanging extra panels at the waist, much like the ones for my Red/Black streetgear outfit.
It would give it a double-skirt effect, or so I'm theorizing. Or they might just look stiff and awkward. I'm not sure yet. Maybe I should just make a prototype of each design and see which looks best. As best as it can in terrible quilting cloth.
At least I finished my new hairpieces. I need to try them out to see how well they wear.
The color theme for this year is Black/Obnoxious Flourescent Green.
That's right. It's going to be eye-breakingly bright.
I figured it was time for something new. Because you know? Last year I wore my Red/Black fashion design outfit and people and photographers came up to me to tell me that they recognized me from the previous year and were telling me how on their sites my picture is ranked x many of x many in terms of page views.
In short, everyone has seen it.
So it's time for something new. I'm supposed to be doing one costume a year anyway.
I haven't even decided on a set design for the outfit yet. D:
Too bad there are only like, 40 days left til the Con.
