Not Dead
Really, I swear I'm not dead. Not yet, at least.
So a bunch of technological crap happened at once. My laptops apparently joined together in a suicide pact, and died on the same day. So I've been working on getting everything to fix them. Funny thing about this pact, is that they didn't go out in the same way.
Old Laptop:
Hard drive failure, after all these years. No way I'm giving up on it, though. It ran smoothly, and has Wave Out Mix for video recordings. Current laptops don't have that feature for the sound card drives! Either way, after that 08 Fail on the HDD test, I went to Newegg and purchased a new, better, HD, as well as a memory card.
New Laptop:
Apparently the motherboard was faulty, which is why it started to fail. Once I got the diagnosis, I contacted HP to set things up for repair. It arrived at the repair place yesterday, so I'll hopefully get it back in a couple of weeks. It might not become my main laptop at home, but with the battery, I'm definitely toting it around on trips. (It's much lighter than the older laptop.)
I've also been doing a bunch of other things. A new morning regimen of biking for about half an hour, more if feeling well, no matter the weather. Soon I'll be adding a lap of walking as well, after the biking. A shame it's winter, though. I'm so sensitive to cold!
Hats are working on being made, but there's only one completed one at the time. I've tried applying to jobs, but over here they don't want you if you aren't hispanic, as they take over the majority of the population around here. A shame, huh?
Convention stuff! Oh, convention stuff... Still planning to go to AB and Otakon, and I'm working on a cosplay all on my own this time. After sewing up the yukata and undergarment, I'll be in despair in no time! (Itoshiki Nozomu, if you couldn't tell from that hint.)
Oh, I'm also a goon now. I fell to the dark side. Oops?
