So, I appear to be really rooting for being nicknamed McGuyver officially. Not on purpose, though. --*

Jarvis is aliiiiive!
(Jarvis being the name of New Computer)

Jarvis is freaking loud... oO* Seems I picked an applicable name for it. Sounds like a hurricane taking off (or Iron Man himself --*.) Maybe I should have called it Zephyr (gentle breeze)? Anyhow, will start installing all my prgs and stuff to it tomorrow. I'm quite pleased.

I just ordered all new computers parts... I wanna go hide in a corner now. Spending large amounts of money, on something I'm NOT completely confident with and have little experience with (like building a computer when I've never done it before) no less, scares the shit out of me... And new computer was quite expensive. Granted, quite a bit less expensive than if I'd have bought a premade but still enough money to freak me out considerably.

Wish me luck ^^*****

Weee, I love snopes.com. I went from researching weather or not this post http://darkdragonseer.livejournal.com/3813.html was true (my coworker also sent that to me) since I find it hard to believe and want all my facts before I go harring off about it. I don't have all the story but so far from the look of it sadly is true (and fucking disgusting) but is still listed as undefined in snopes because they cant get all the facts straight either... http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/vargas.asp

On the lighter side of things heres some funnier stuff I found at snopes: True story- dead whale in Oregon blown up with a half ton of dynamite wrecks mans car. And a video of it to boot! *snicker* Good job Navy on advising them to explode a while. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGVkHl-nBhE

And this one reminds me of a certain time a friend and I went to pick up a dead squirrel. When walking back to our car in a dark parking lot we noticed a creapy guy. I took out my keys in case he was more than a creepy guy. My friend asked why I was doing that (we'd driven her truck) and I told her about the guy. Her response? "I'm carrying a dead squirrel!" Have to agree. Beating someone with a rotting smelly dead squirrel probably works better than jabbing them with your keys. ^^

You'd think that with the book series over and having listened to the audio books so many times Ive got them freaking memorized that my love and mania for Harry Potter would slake some, but No~oo.

--* I'm such a fool for anything Sirius or Dumbledore related. They're my two favorite charecters in the whole series. ^^

Posting from work! My co workers and I found this artist: http://www.stainedglasssculpture.com/gallery/gallery.htm

Truly awesome!!! I wanna try. *drool*

When I was in my multimedia class (about a year ago or more) I did a report on Walmart. One of the most recent things where walmart was concerned was it's new CEO's declaration of a massive overhaul to make Walmart a more green company. More green products, reducing their fleets gas usage by 80% (or some crazy number like that), reducing said gas usage by buying from local farmers and businesses instead of shipping it from one source, fuckton of organic stuff at really low prices, etc. etc. The whole shoot'n match. It was a WONDERFUL idea. Theres no way in hell that massive global companies like Valdemart will go away nor is it feasible that the majority of people will cease to use them- so my not going to Valdemart doesn't make a difference to them at all, and probably the rest of the greenies like me that avoid it on our principles. They've still got a massive customer base thats unlikely to drop... However, this is a bonus when considered that as a massive company, any change they make will also be a massive one and have huge effects. For a company like that to go green (or even to add a slight amount of green to their building wide canvas of slate black) would have a large effect. But this IS The-Store-That-Must-Not-Be-Named so I was (still am) skeptical.

Fuck me sideways- they're actually implementing some of this. I avoid Valdemart like the plague but needed to take my recyclables to the center (which resides in the mega-Valdemart's parking lot) and I needed some potting soil for my tomato, mint, and squash (Hey, Fox, want some squash? My boss gave me two) so I went to Valdemart. Apparently its eco-month (or some shit like that... hey, I hold every month to be eco month, so to me eco-awareness month is kinda pointless but whatever...) and Valdemart is really pushing alot of eco products. Around the whole store there are kiosks pointing out green products and advice (like for example one had donald duck pajamas that were made from organic cotton or something like that.) It made me quite pleased.

I also ran across one product that I loved so much I had to get it (I needed some anyhow.) Its a product like called Pure & natural (www.pure-natural.com) and they sell namely soaps (hand soap and bottle soap and such.) Its a all-natural soap, hypo-allergenic, glycerin base, etc. etc. The usual stuff for a natural happy soap. What really made me squee was the fact that the packaging is biodegradeable and made 100% from post consumer waste- and has Baby's Breath seeds embedded in it. You don't recycle or throw away the packaging. You bury it in your garden, water it, and watch your plants grow. ^^ And to top it all off its a made in America product. I've not gotten to try it out yet (I'm still whittling down the soap I got from a friends wedding), but I'm hoping the product is as good as all the packaging. It smells pretty good though. I'm tickled pink ^^

I'm also wondering what else has been implemented that was not directly obvious to my eye (which was admittedly distracted and didn't notice anything but the glaringly obvious- like the huge signs for Eco-month '08 and the HUGE kiosks saying 'Green Friendly!') I'll have to do a news search later, I'm curious. And hopeful. For now tho, I wanna go to bed.

Oh, yeah, Foxylady, I'll be calling you tomorrow. ^^ I've got a question or two for ya. (nothing major, just an idea)

Moar from the "Funny spam titles" folder: "Girlfriends will drive crazy with you if you enlarge your arm"

I just finished reading the DNAngel manga (what there is of it) and damnit I want more! I hope wiki isn't mistaken or that Monthly Asuka doesn't drop the series or it fall through or something- Wiki had this to say "While the storyline has not yet ended, no new material has been released since the August 2005 issue of Monthly Asuka. The magazine announced in its March issue (released on January 24, 2008) that the manga would resume the next month in its April issue."

Im happy. ^^

Other than that, I've been working and sleeping. Sleeping ALOT. I seem to have caught a cold (read: ConFunk) and its beating me around the twist. Not enough to make me miss work, but enough to make me miserable. --*

Weee found another Shinigami that is as cool as Bleach shinigami. (I'm not impressed with Deathnote Shinigami. Theyre just demon things. --*) I'm reading 07 Ghost and it's pretty interesting. So far I'm liking this shinigami Verloren and his messneger Kor and the art isn't bad at all. ^^ Also fun is the allusions to shonen ai in it. Funness ^^ Check out Kor ^^ http://www.onemanga.com/07_Ghost/4/ Much spiffyness. Anyhow more reading and sleep. ^^ Night!

AHH! WE HAS BABIES!

Theres a house finch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_finch) that made a nest in my hanging potted plant. She laid eggs a little less than two weeks ago and they hatched today! She laid 5 eggs and so far four have hatched. There so TINY and CUTE! I'm used to seeing ugly little wrinkled featherless things (baby birds when they're first hatched are rather ugly in a "its a baby bird squee!!!" kind of way- so not cute but very loveable. Well, 'cept for chickens. Baby chickens are cute fuzzballs oo*) and seeing these guys was a welcome shock. They had a white light fuzzy downy coat all over and tiny little beaks. Their eyes weren't open yet. I took pictures but my camera is crap. I may post them later. But, yeah, I'm tickled pink ^^

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: PLEASE READ

Hey guys, if you use AIM be warned. I got a message on AIM from a random person not on my list (looked like a bot or something) that said this: "your private friends-only posts have been stolen: http://stainedfeathers.on.nimp.org/?u=r4l" I figured it was a load of bull (really WEIRD bull given that my AIM and LJ have next to nothing to do with each other and I don't think bots can get my AIM off lj [Since it requires you to click the link on it]) so I looked more closely into it. In the AIM info for the person that sent it to me (had a bot name of writings882Mr) they had a link to someones LJ: http://dobernala.livejournal.com/ When looking at dobernala their lj looks like a bot or BS lj. I also noticed someone I knew from parrot_lovers apparently got the same message and came to the same blog (dobernala) so It worried me slightly. If you get any messages like this with a link in it (from me or anyone else), DONT CLICK IT. Im not sure what it is but I think its a porn link or it could be a virus link or something. Just thought I'd let you all know since this seems to be being passed around.

X-Posted Everywhere (Sorry about this! But I'm being overly cautious)

... I think I'm scarred for life... So I must therefore share the pain.

I was playing around updating my livejournal and updated my school portion of this. Which entailed me toying around with TAMU info on here. And I ran across several tamu LJ groups. All of them sorority/frat groups. Save for one. tamugholes And no, they don't mean golf holes. (I'd hoped...) Apparently my fish camp leader my freshman year WASN'T kidding about the upper level bathrooms in the academic building... *twitch*
