The fates converge upon me and the green corners of my life.
Long time, no update. Of course, I'm sure this is no big surprise to anyone who's actually reading this. I have been meaning to, but this time I have a somewhat valid excuse! My computer crashed last week! (I'm not excited by this, despite the use of exclamation points.) I was unable to bring it anywhere to get it fixed until today, however. And since they have some backlog, they said it was going to be at least a week before it's done. I don't really even know what the real problem is, but it requires reinstallation of the operating system. That means a potential loss of 60gb-worth of stuff! So, what I decided was to get a data transfer done to an external harddrive (I bought a 160gb hd for $130, on sale!) and then the reinstallation of the OS. Liz and I had been meaning to get an external hd for a long time, for back-up & storage purposes, but we never got around to it. Ha ha. Now look what happened. We obviously should have done it a long time ago; then I wouldn't have had to lose many downloaded programs (because they only transfer "files, folders, music, and pictures"). They suck. Well, at least I have all my other stuff, if not those programs. Most of which I'll be able to find and re-download anyway, but the annoyance~!
Anyway, the other news is that I cut my hair 'cause my UN job ended last week!!! I'm so happy. I will miss the extra money, of course, which is what is financing my trip to Japan. But I was dying without being able to cut & dye my hair (no pun intended, I assure you). I was really beginning to feel pretty disgusting about how I looked and... I guess I didn't really realize until now how that can really depress your spirits.
So yes, I got a nice new haircut! It's short on my right side (just below the top of the ear), and gets longer in a gradual slant all the way around to my left side where it's about two inches past my chin. So happy! Now I just have to bleach and dye it and I will feel renewed and delicious! I will, of course, post pics just as soon as (1) Liz is back home from Italy (Sunday evening) and I can use the camera again, and (2) the computer is back in my house and I can upload the pics. ^^;
Also! A remixed version of Buck-Tick's song ドレス is being used as the opening to a new anime called BLOOD TRINITY! I can't wait to hear the remix, and to see the anime when it starts coming out subbed -- it's about vampires, too! (As in, the only other anime B-T did an OP song for was Mayonaka Tantei Nightwalker, which was a vampire anime, also. Tee hee. Looks like they've got their little obsession too! It makes me very happy that they like vampires, one of those things that I love myself. =D I'm a bit disappointed that it isn't a new song, which I was led to believe when Angelica was telling me about it, but I discovered otherwise. ::sigh:: However, I am looking forward to hearing the new remix.
