money is the root of all evil

So, apparently, I don't just shop when I'm depressed because I had a pretty happy summer and I still went way over my shopping budget. What to do, what to do. The obvious, get a second job, a couple of nights a week, yadda yadda. Which I'm totally down for as I do need to not only buy a new computer but a new cellphone since mine is shit.

Lyssa is now indiana_jane after a name change.

Mary did start releasing part three of Journeys, but it's only a draft.

The Farscape episodes you watched were from season 3 - arguably the best season. But what exactly is the problem? What kind of files did you get from Tracy? If the problem was the codec (which is usually the problem), I recommend the K-Lite codec pac. I have it uploaded here (right-click, save if you want to download).

Don't know anything about waitressing, so you're on your own there. =)

Thanks, Jen! I knew Lyssa wouldn't just disappear but the loop and me aren't exactly in sync these days.

It is the codec that is the problem and thank you for the upload. Now I can finally watch them! And the ones I saw were pretty good. Of course, I was confused about a lot (one John one ship, another on another and neither seeming to know anything about what the other was doing...this was very confusing after watching John and Aeryn kissy-kissy and then to go to Moya and he never even mentions her) but I looked up a site and realized there were two. Duh. So now it makes much more sense. Mostly. ;)

It is, isn't it? Terrible, awful stuff. But then again, only the poor complain about it all the time, right? :)

Money is nice for those who have it, I suppose.

Waitressing nights was the way I paid for our wedding. Is it heaven? No. Are the tips good? 50% of the time. If necessity were that I take on a second job I would go with waitressing over retail. If you do decide to go the cocktail route, let me know. I've got lots of tips. Waitressing tips.

*hugs right back attcha*

So, you downloaded DivX? Or tried and it didn't work? I have it on disc. I could send it to you which might help. Ooooooooor, you could wait to watch until you get your new PC. Most likely that'll have the codec you need, already installed. P.S. No more watching the eps out of order!!! Hear me?! *angry face* And you call yourself a fangirl. ;)

Most likely will be going cocktail route as most of the restaurant's shifts start before I get out of my 9-5 job. So I'll definitely be needing some tips.

I tried the discs in the new computer and still got nothing. The codec error thing. Jen put a download up above so I'll try that next. I didn't know it was out of order! They made it sound like the marathon had just started so I thought I was in the first season and just A LOT of shit had happened. My bad. No more watching it out of order. I promise. Hey, I am a fangirl. I'm just not a Farscape fangirl as of yet.

OMG I never replied to you. I'm so sorry! *squeezes heath supa tight*

Did you get an email from Jenah? Regarding the codecs you need? She said she was going to send you the inside skinny. Just let me know. :)

My eyes are not deceiving me right? You did post twice in the past couple of days? Whoopah! Heather - I sent you an email several weeks ago about Farscape. Let me know if I can help with the viewing. You might just need the right codecs and they are easy to find - or have been for me.

No deceiving. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. Sorry, Jenah, but I didn't get it. I'm sure it came, I just couldn't check my mail in a timely fashion. Jen gave me a link to a download so I think I should be all set. Hopefully.

Man, people really want me to watch Farscape! :)

I was lucky to have people help me out when it came to watching it, and so I'm trying to do my part to help as well. If you find that you need it - you just let me know.
Have to keep the good karma going.
=D

2 posts! Count 'em, two! Bwah ha ha/end channeling the Count.

1)Waitressing? I did it once for 6 hours and vowed to never do it again. However,my roommate paid her way through college doing it and now bartends and makes even more money. She's not even a people person, but she has found a good way to fake it. So, if you can do that too, i'd say go for it.
2)I see that someone else said it, byt Lyssa is now indiana_jane_, so no worries, she's still about :)
3)Mary is posting the draft versions of Journeys: Revelations, which means that the new chapters aren't entirely finished and there are scenes not fully developed. However, she felt so bad that she had this unfinished work and people were still wantingher story, she felt she should release it. She has said she still wants to finish it, who knows if that will come to fruition though. We can hope! You can find the new chapters over at The-Crypt.
4)And an influx of random comments from you? Always welcome :)

I waitressed at Bickford's before and one night a drunk threw ketchup all over me and I walked. Haven't done it since but I need quick cash and short of stripping or hooking, waitressing seems to be the way to get it. I have to fake a smile and good personality every day at work so I think I can do it for some tips :) Er...hopefully.

Found Mary's drafts. Can't wait to start to read it, even if it is rough and there are parts missing. It's Journeys for goodness sake! It just doesn't get any better for me.

I'm so lazy but I will be hitting and posting to the LJ soon. A lot of stuff to catch up on (just with you alone!) so...we'll see. I'm never taking a break again!
