Candy Coloured Dreams

I got my computer back yesterday...finally.
Seems Internet Explorer was corrupt beyond repair and screwing with the overall workings of the computer. A few months ago I upgrade IE7 for IE8 when I was having some major issues with errors that whiped out my windows...constantly. Upgrading sort of helped, but apparently the power surge just corrupted already corrupt files .....fun.

Anyways...the fix was to start from scratch...reload XP ...reload IE...blah blah blah....reload every program I own...argh!!!

I'm getting there....
I've run into a snag in iTunes though.
It's loaded and I've re-imported all my music.
When I click on a song to play in the Music Library though...it plays...but when it's done it doesn't move to the next song automatically

?????

I know it can do it...my previous iTunes did it. I've looked, and I can't figure out what to do to make it automatically move on and play the next song. It's probably something easy too, but I'll be darned if I can find it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Had a momentary power outage early this morning while I was simultaniously watching a movie and surfing the web. Of course this outage presented itself 10 minutes before the end of a movie I have never seen. Rude much!? I was frantically trying to get the satellite signal back up to see what happened with the movie and really wasn't that concerned about the computer.

oops

My comp is usually fine after outages. Just tells me things were shut down without 'consent' or something or other, and asks if I want to open them up again. All good.

Not so much this time...got error messages before anything even started to load. These are internet messages, so I restarted, and unplugged/replugged the router and the internet base.

waited for everything to get going. there are 3 comps in the house, so tried them all. Eventually all comps finally got internet...but mine.

Not good.

My comp has been in need of a clean out for some time and I've been procrastinating to the best of my abilities because it's just one of those things I actually accel at. Procrastination I mean. Lack of money has been a factor as well of course, so it's all just so typical that it would die just as I get my tax return back. In actuality that money is already earmarked for 15 other things and computer wasn't one of those things.

Needless to say, it is sitting in the computer hospital at the moment and I am stuck using my ancient and exceedingly slow lappy that I can't take off the plug because the battery died so long ago.

Still trying to decide if this VERY gorgeous day makes up for this.

Still deciding.

Happy Easter to all my Friends

BIG Birthday wishes to bembacolora !

Miss ya  and hope you have a wonderful day :)

I was really really hoping all day it was just sensationalized journalism, but I've always been aware of how sensitive and tricky head injuries can be, even the most minor seeming ones.

My heart goes out to all of the family of Natasha Richardson.

from 'you know who' ;)

this is pretty accurate..but I'm very picky most of the time

You Are Traditional and Dependable

You are optimistic, friendly, and cheerful. People appreciate the hopefulness and good vibes you bring to any situation. You struggle with doing the right thing and doing the attractive thing. Sometimes you can't help but give into your impulses. You're easy going and easy to be around. You aren't picky or high maintenance. You seek security in your life. Feeling safe is important to you.

probably....but what the hey...

a meme from tinawiesen...of course

You Are Doted On

You are sweet, sensitive, and a bit anxious. You are likely to have some health problems. It's likely that you will have four or more children... whether you use birth control or not! You are easily effected by the world around you. You are emotional and even a bit moody. You are a bit lazy. You sometimes don't shower or brush your teeth all day. You are a dreamer who always explores possibilities. Even if you would never do something, you like to fantasize about it.

courtesy of tinawiesen ...of course

You Are Biscotti

You are a very direct, honest person. You don't have time for dramatics or emotional pleas. You feel most comfortable in the intellectual realm, especially with science and technology. You are good at understanding difficult subjects. Understanding people? Not so much.

I've seen a few of my friends posting about the weather already. I can't handle this nostril freezing weather!!

-17..feels like -31 with the gusting wind @_@
that's 0 degrees..feels like -24 to all you US inhabitants ;)

My dog just won't go out and poop in these conditions, it's not good! I'm getting to the point that I'd be ok with her pooping in the house...just poop already!!

The wind is supposed to be still blowin like a b*tch in the morning, and I have to go out to the grocery store for Xmas dinner and stuff.

I'm over it

:(

yup...another from tinawiesen

You Should Juggle

You've got the talent to go far in life, but you don't really like to take risks. You rather practice your well honed skills than put your life in danger. You are agile and coordinated. You can work magic with your hands. You truly mesmerize people. You don't have to resort to cheap tricks and gimmicks.

oh go ahead...guess who I gakked this from :P

You Are Chicken Noodle Soup

You are a traditional and conservative person. You value the past, and change frightens you. You are very loyal, especially to your family. You prefer a low-key life, with lots of time spent at home. You like soup because it's easy, quick, and cheap. You tend to have a favorite soup you stick to. Why change a good thing?

Tina and her meme's.....again ;)

I'm LMAO at the high-maintenance thing
The sweet-tempered thing is rather funny too

You Are a Persian Cat

You are very high-maintenance, at least as far as keeping up your appearance goes. But you're surprisingly low-maintenance in every other aspect of your life. You are peaceful and sweet tempered. People enjoy your company. You are loving and a good companion, but it takes you a while to trust people.

Actual time of writing this post…11:05 am Tues Nov 18

Of course LJ is down as I’m typing this. First time I’ve wanted to actually post something other than a meme lately, and it’s not co-operating. Nice! What can I say...I missed the memo.

Anyways, I’m sitting here with tears streaming down my face. This is not a bad thing. These are soul-soothing tears...tears of awe, when you are listening to something truly beautiful that allows you to soar outside of yourself and may even help find that illusive inner peace.

This would be from caseystratton’s new EP “The Darkest World.”
Highly recommending it would be a severe understatement!

I love all of Casey’s music, but this stuff...these classical epics that he creates astound and amaze me.

awe-inspiring

So beautiful

Thank you for releasing this Casey <3
