Windows Vista help?
My little sister called me at 3:20am in a panic. She was crying and I honestly thought someone had died (though why she'd call me first, I don't know). Turns out her computer locked her out of her profile and forced her into a temporary one. In typical college student fashion, she has a project due next Monday, and now she can't access her ( Read more... ) -
Tenimyu help anyone?
Soooo...Tenimyu fans. I'm gonna be doing a sales post soon, and I'm selling some of my old CDs (More than Limit, DL1, blah). Unfortunately, I have no idea what CDs go for these days, and my preliminary research over at tenimyu and tenipuri_myu hasn't turned up any useful info. Anyone know, because I'm pretty sure the original 2800Y price tag these CDs have won't ( Read more... ) -
Japanese ESL job sites?
Hey guys, do you know of good web sites for ESL teaching in Japan? I've got a friend who is looking at Osaka or some other metropolitan town for ESL, but all I know of is GaijinPot and Ohayo Sensei. Any other good ones? -
Trip to Japan for $300, WHAT.
I posted this on my Facebook, but...
Why, oh why don't I have $300?! I could be on a jet plane back to Japan, livin' it up with friends and getting a taste of the life before I commit myself to being a normal American once again. Damn you taxes, for had it not being for you, I would have had these funds and then some ( Read more... ) -
Game cheating thingamajiggers
Okay, weird question of the day: Has anyone ever owned or used the Action Replay Max or the Gameshark for the PS2? I've got some little cousins who are a product of today's society (as in they don't like to lose and they don't know how to take losing well), and I'm thinking of picking up one for them. It'd be nice if they could just sit and play ( Read more... ) -
Good idea, bad idea?
I'm thinking of offering up my signed copy of Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book for auction at help_haiti. I actually purchased it pre-signed, since the line to see him was seven hours long, and I have another copy of it already. Good idea, bad idea? While I may not get another chance to have something signed by him, I didn't really get it done personally ( Read more... ) -
It's officially 2010 in America!
Happy (Official) New Year everyone! It's finally 2010 in America, and once again, being on the East Coast, I'm the first to bring it in. Actually, I kinda missed it (I was chatting with houkouonchi) until I heard all the fireworks going off ( Read more... ) -
Statement of Purpose, can anyone help?
So I have written this monster called a Statement of Purpose. This might sound a little weird, but would anyone be willing to read over it for me? It's only about 700 words, give or take a few. I've only seen the random statements I found on the internet, and honestly, those samples make me feel a bit overwhelmed. I know I have been out of ( Read more... ) -
Tales of woe and lost books
I'm making a spreadsheet of all the books that were in that "lost in transit" package that I may or may not receive from Japan (please Jesus, I don't know if you agree with BL, but I'd totally love that package back. *wibbly eyes*). This list doesn't include anything that I didn't take to Japan, and it's not complete (damn you DMP for having a ( Read more... )
