Hey, thanks for this, Moony! It saves work for me. Heh!
Yeah, Amanda's having computer issues. So it goes without saying that, until she returns, her characters are officially put on hold.

If its not one problem, it's another! lol so I found out it's my graphics card fan that's dying. Costing extra but...beats having a non working one! So yeah it should hopefully be done by tomorrow. Posts will be slow or not at all since this is a pain to type on my Wii! lol

Well, they're apparently *insanely* fast at Best Buy. I got my computer back today, fixed up within five hours of discovery of what was wrong. No more failing graphics card. :3

Yaaaaaay, Mands! And, yaaaaaaaaaay, Collin! That's great news; I really missed having you around. If you come back before Alice gets to the first gym leader, would you like George Darling to be the first again? Or are you okay with him being number 5?

Actually, false alarm. I got my hard drive back yesterday and re-installed it, but due to the difference between my PC and the PC it was reformatted on it will not boot in mine.
Now I have to mail off the ENTIRE tower, along with the HD, to correct this.
I am back at square one. :-(

%$&@! That sucks, Collin! I'm gonna try and get my Wii's connection working here in college. I believe I'm too late to call the help desk for assistance, but after my English class tomorrow I will have some free time, so I could try that then, should push come to shove...

No dice. Wired connection is still not working. Ah, well. I'll just see if I can ask the help desk after my second class tomorrow.

I talked to the front desk of this residence hall, and they were ZERO help (no offense to them). I called technical support on campus, but they weren't open. I left a voicemail message, so, Collin, hopefully they'll contact me tomorrow.
But even if we can only connect on the weekends, I am done for the semester on May 7th (a week from Friday), so that's the good part.

Update: Even after a reformat the viruses remain [?!] so it will be at least another week until my computer will be fixed.
As I said, Joe: It's like waiting for Godot by this point.

I am not bringing my Wii to college with me this week. Because I have finals, I won't have time for the beloved Wii, nor would I dream of subjecting myself to such a distraction when I should be studying. So I won't be able to play Animal Crossing or anything Wii-related until Friday evening or so, when my semester is over. In the meantime, "?"

Okay, guys. I will NOT be online today, and I won't be online tomorrow until pretty late. On Friday, I have to finish cleaning the room, check out, and head back home. But I should be on later that day. I have one final paper to write and submit electronically by Monday, but I'll be online either way at the time..

I had the strangest dream last night... I dreamed that I was hanging out with Collin (not strange), and we discovered that a biographical film about John Candy was being made. Here's the strange part: John Candy would have been played by multiple actors, and we saw two. One was John Goodman (which is funny, because he looks NOTHING like John Candy), and the other was Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) in a fat suit. .... Yeeeeaaaaah. That was some victory party last night. I am scheduled to check out at 3:40 PM, so I mustn't dawdle. I'm going to pack, move my stuff to the car (my brother is going to help me out when he gets here), clean up the room, hide the corpse, and... hopefully I'll be checked out then! Seeya later today, y'all.

Update: I returned home today (I was visiting my sister for the past week) and my tower was here waiting for me... at last, good news!
...or is it? Much to my dismay, when powered on it will beep 4 times and then power itself off, a sign from the motherboard that a connection is faulty. I reseated every connection to and from the motherboard, but no dice. It seems that it was damaged during shipping (note: it was also damaged on the trip there!). I have very little faith in UPS at this point, and I am still offline.
And Joe, I just got your Wii messages today.

It wasn't until today that I thought you were visiting someone, or so. Sorry for bombarding you with those messages! And that SUCKS! Why must the tower be so faulty?! TOWER!! YOU'RE NEVER AROUND WHEN I NEED YOU!!

That really sucks, I swear UPS doesn't know the meaning of the word "FRAGILE". :/ I'm sorry Collin.
