Legato is worse than a highly hormonal pregnant woman. I don't understand him. He started having hissy fits a few days ago. My brother and dad have had a look at him, ran disk checks, recovery programs... whatever you can think of. We don't know what's wrong with him. He's a temperamental sod. Turning off or restarting when he pleases, sometimes not booting up at all and refusing to run Windows. And other times, like right now, he loads and boots up super fast, and has no visible signs of being a retard.
Curse you Legato, you manipulative, egotistical prick!
So right now he's working. I'm just going to take it easy with him and avoid doing too much that will stress him out. This, alas, means no Photoshop or Painter. Ah well. There's always pencils and paper.
There is something very odd going on. I keep getting phone calls on my mobile at 7:30-ish. By 'keep getting' I mean it has only happened these past two days. I hardly ever have my phone with me when I'm at home. It lies in my room, while I lie on the sofa watching TV, lol! I have no idea who's calling. But whoever it is must be desperate. I had five missed calls from the same unknown caller.
At 7:30 I was watching my dad struggling to put together our TV cabinet thing. We got Digital TV today so we had to clean out all the tapes, DVD's, photo albums, CD's and electrical equipment from the TV thingy. And by 'we' I do actually mean 'me'. The Digital TV works just fine and the picture is really clear which is great, as we've been suffering from fuzzy picture with our cable for several years now. Our set top box was just getting older and the connections looser. So this is good. I am looking forward to watching the Comedy channel. I flipped through and saw my beloved Franky Wanky on it for a advertisement. He's all beardy now, lol!
Other than that... not much new.
My brother showed me this YouTube clip, called Don't Copy That Floppy. If they had advertisements like this now... well it would probably only make people pirate stuff even more, lol!
I am so chuffed! Simon the Sorcerer 4: Chaos Happens is coming out this year. This game series has to be one of my favourites. I love those Germans for loving Simon so much, otherwise there would be no fan base, lol! It's weird... Germans just love it Simon so much. I mean... I can understand why, because I loves him myself, but... the rest of you? Blah, who knows! Anyway, this should be great because after StS 3 (which I never finished because of the insanely annoying mini games and action and a horrible accident involving a save file right at the end of the game, and Ili being stupid and somehow managing to save over that file with a save file from the beginning of the game) ... ok that was too long for anyone to follow. In short... StS 3 broke from the traditional format of the game, to keep up with all the other games, but it flopped. The character was still awesome... nay, change that.. all the characters were still awesome! The humour was still right but the game play sucked because technology had advanced so much so that they didn't feel like the point and click format would work anymore. How wrong they were in thinking that. I am so looking forward to this next installment as they are going back to the roots. Always awesome. I just wish I knew how Simon defeated Sordid ... again, lol! Maybe I can find it somewhere. A Huge awesome squishy THANK YOU to Ro who's going all out trying to get me this game as a birthday present ^^ I highly doubt anyone will see this game in shops, especially down here in Australia.

STS: Chaos Happens website.
Um... what else... I sat at a hairdressers on Wednesday while Ro was getting her hair cut, looking at magazines and taking photos of the pictures with my phone, lol. There's some great reference shots in there. I hope the photos will be usable.
I logged on and got all my tutorials too. So Ili is at Uni on Mondays 1 to 5. Tuesdays 9 to 1and Thursdays 9 to 12. Ugh. Sort of dreading it. I am concerned about how much the workload will be with me now doing Contemporary Arts and a Psychology unit. Double the essays, I am sure, and now exams as well. Poo. I can still remember what it felt like to have assessments lingering. All that stress and anxiety. It is one of the most disgusting feelings to have to be exposed to for such prolonged periods of time. I can't shake the memories of it because I know I'll continue having these feelings for as long as I continue studying. I'm going to try my best to become even more serious about my work this year. I do feel good because I feel like with each passing year I do reach my goal of trying harder. Of course... that is probably because of that mid year wake up call mark that says 'Ili, you are doing crap, pick yourself up before I have to kick myself in the butt in public and make you trip over and be humiliated horribly'.
MSN isn't working. And I am tired.
Oh.. OH! And dare I say 'Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo' to last weeks episode of CSI, as aired in the States. Just... 'Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo'. Damn it all, lol!
Ahh, before I go... take this Maaya Sakamoto song. It's sickeningly cheerful, lol!
Life is Good
Hey! Whatcha say
Let's get lost and take a big vacation
A summer long siesta fun holiday!
Say! It's our time
To do what we want, now, when we want it
They don't expect too much from us anyway
Tomorrow will tomorrow
Be today, today
Anything that people say don't mean a thing
'Cause it's time for livin'
Life is a canvas
And the paint is hope and promise
The world is ours
No one could ever take it from us
The sky is blue
The day is new
The sun is shinin' down
You know life is good
We got each other
And that's all we need
Hey! It's okay
We can paint the world bright, any color
Yeah, coming back from nowhere or on the way
Don't be afraid
Just be happy that we're not our mothers
Slavin' over papa all night and day
The future is the future
Que sera sera
We can make some sense of it all
When we get old
Let's do somethin' stupid
Life is a real gas
If you take the time to notice
Let's live it right now
'Cause no one can live it for us
We got the time
The weather's fine
The world is spinnin' round
You know life is good
In it together always
You and me
Life is a canvas
And the paint is hope and promise
The world is ours
No one could ever take it from us
The sky is blue
The day is new
The sun is shinin' down
You know life is good
We got each other
And that's all we need
Life is about us
Just in case you didn't notice
We're on our way now
And nothing is gonna stop us
We got the time
It's yours and mine
We'll take it on the run
You know life is good
In it forever, yeah just you and me
