Fun things in my land
Reporting from Beta Blogs.
I’m an absolute nightmare when it comes to things like procrastination. Really, I am. I’m awful.
Current procrastinatings:
Blood Bound: I’m not procrastinating it so much as I am suddenly finding other things to do. I honestly do want to get it down and done and dusted by March, or for preference by mid-Feb - after then, I’ll be getting an influx of assignments, and possibly things relating to the upcoming Big Bang. Oh, and my Firearms Safety Course (I’m really, really, really looking forward to that).
Also: Police Powers II. Apparently, I have an assignment for that, regarding Part I of the Police Services Act. It’s a bit of a surprise, but I’m sure I’ll get through it. Somehow. I usually do. It seems to be due in via email on the 29th. I’ll do it. Soon. Honest. No, really. I’m good, okay? I’ll post that up after I get my marks back.
My poor, much-neglected webcomics. Vampire Inn will, thankfully, be a short-lived, self-contained series, and I’ll do that ahead of time, with a preprogrammed update schedule. But outside of that, guess who has to code the damned website? Catherine is a highly accomplished Webdeveloper in her own right, but the system I’m using has some rather specialised codes specifically for the comics. Also, I’ve already got a person willing to do a link-exchange for VI (warning, this link is NSFW! If you click it, you’d better be old enough, and I hold no responsibility for you, you got that? Okay, good.), so that site just became a major issue.
Transcribing the appropriate notes for posts regarding class notes, etc. Some of them, as they’re actually taken from textbooks, need to be rephrased so that I’m not breaking copyright laws and stuff. Others of them, I just need to get them to make sense to the rest of the world.
Okay, so, I bought the damn skipping rope, now I’ve got to use the thing. And so I need to put together that playlist - but iTunes is still not bloody WORKING! TT_TT
Seems as though I need to get me a disc of Vista. Thing is, my computer’s running into a problem doing any updates, and the code may apparently only be solved by inserting a Vista disc and hitting ‘upgrade’ (this fix seems to apply even if you’re running Ultimate). Thing is though, this laptop came with Vista preinstalled, just plugin and go. Which is also known as ‘Not. Freaking. Cool.’ when the computer’s demanding a disc at you.
Yes, I’ve tried a system restore, which not only didn’t work, but also resulted in new problems with my Fox, which brings us to…
Get my Fox to run properly. It’s really, really, really annoying having to keep the windows task manager up and running in the background, just so every time it freezes I can hit ‘end process’. Yes, this is the only way I’ve found that solves the problem. Yes, it’s kinda starting to get to me.
Buy Wimbledon, Hard Core Logo, Doctor Horrible, possibly Twitch City, and see if I can get my hands on H2O/The Trojan Horse.
Continue my Lawbreakers of Slings & Arrows series.
Go rockclimbing and have a total Star Wars day with my buddy-from-home (I have all the films and a big screen. Be afraid). Funny story: I took karate with her best friend in New Zealand. It’s great to know how closely we’re all connected, you know?
Watch all of my new Canadian films (I have Slap Shot 2. Just because it was on sale for $6 doesn’t make me officially pathetic. CALLUM!). Also, pre-order Passchendaele.
Work out how to get my userpics working on here. I like my images, dammit. I may just eventually decide to start off each post with the appropriate image, but there we are…
Organise my stuff. I have to put together a bunch of things for my career preparation class. Fear my filing cabinets.
All of these, and I really, really, really do need to do a couple of comic reviews (okay, I’ll start now. Everybody! Read this comic! NOW!) and set up a link to not one but two podcasts down on the sidebar: Comic Dish and Gutter Talk.
