Yay for travelling!!! Boo for homework!

Ah, night class. That time has come again when I must put my nose to the grind and get educated, darn it all. But it's for the best.

Unfortunately, instead of being able to enjoy my creativity and virtual connection to the outer world, I'm going to have to spend a major portion of my free time with my nose buried in book. Sigh.

I'm officially on hiatus from daily posting; will attempt to post every 2-3 days, but can only promise once a week. My apologies to all my fans! Lol.

Oh yeah, by the way, YAAAAYY for travelling!!! Exactly one week from today I'll be far, far away - hurray!

Technology...

As mentioned on FB, my dependable old PC proved to be not so dependable at all and crashed yesterday, just after I got home from work. Crashed hard, as in turned itself off and would not turn on again. Ah, it was such a let down. My heart fell as I thought "what in the world am I gonna do now?". I've become so dependent on this machine, it's crazy.

Mind you, if the same thing had happened in, say, last May, I don't think it would have bothered me as much. Probably wouldn't have dipped into my savings to Go To Staples, Go Directly To Staples, and DO NOT Bother With WalMart. Lol. I'm all reconnected now, but it's gonna take a while transfer my hard drive and get access to all my old files. Sigh. If it's not one thing, it's another, eh? Heh hee, whatever. Who needs sleep anyway?

Electric City

I really wanted to make a video to post last night, I did. But things kept popping up that needed to be done... so, at the end of the night, just before both Nikoli and I had to go to bed, I sat down in my room to give it a try. >WARNING<, this was just a tester video, I look REALLY goofy.. cause just as I hit record, Nikoli walked into my room, and split my concentration... I really should have just put the guitar down and started over after he was done talking to me... but he does have a tendancy to go on, and I was determined! So anyway, he walked in and, in his way, went straight to my dresser, where he saw this: 

 

(It's a motherboard that I took out of a disfunctional, whoops I mean non-functional, PC I had kicking around.. you know, every self respecting geek has one on their dresser. No, just kidding. It's just me.)

 Just as I pressed record, Nikoli asks me: "Mom, is this an electric city?" 

:D :D :D

When I was a kid, I thought exactly the same thing when I first saw a circuit board. That there were little electric people in there, too :D That's why I put it up there, 'cause it reminds me of that whimsy .

So then, of course, I had to respond. But I refused to give up my efforts! Thus, the results:

Not the best recording, to be honest, I'm a little embarrassed and am questioning even as I type this why I'm posting it - admit it, I do look like a goof.  But I think it's too cute not too share :) And it provides definite proof that I was driven to distraction yesterday, so I have a valid excuse.  Most of all,  you can hear the tune. Which was my point all along. 

Just don't look at my face, k?  

;)
