corilannamYes, new icon, lemming, yadda. Idea taken from pretty much *everybody* on my friends list. Fortunately, I don't look nearly as stoned when I scaled it down to icon size.
I looked at my recent entries page this morning and was shocked to realize just how long it's been since I posted anything, of substance or not. I keep thinking of things I want to write about here, and I compose the entries neatly in my head on the bus or while working, and then I completely forget the whole "typing them in and posting" part of the process. Oops. When I discover the secret to world peace, I'll do my best to follow through on that one (though here's a hint: if you live in the U.S., voting in November will be a good first step).
Speaking of follow through, I have a brand new computer sitting on my living room floor. I finally caved and ordered it when my current computer freaked the hell out to the point where I barely got it booted before I had to reboot it again. After much trauma with my bank, who seemed reluctant to let me spend my own money, it came, and now it's sitting there. My old computer calmed down as soon as I ordered the old one, of course, so now a little voice in the back of my head is gibbering about the expense and telling me to send it back. I haven't so much as touched the boxes since it got here.
I'm not going to send it back, however, because a new computer means I can finally try my hand at vidding, which I've been dying to do for ages. I've done a ton of research on capture cards and firewires and suchlike, most of which involved many, many words and other combinations of letters that I do not understand. After careful consideration, I intend to go to Best Buy tonight, spin myself around rapidly in the aisle, and then buy whichever capture card I knock off the shelf first.
In the meantime, I've discovered that Diet Coke with Lime doesn't taste nearly as bad as you would think.
