and we frolicked about

Pardon the absence from LJ in the past little bit. I've been sick since last Thursday and have been pretty much just playing games on the computer and coughing up a lung.

I haven't figured out the PS CS3 thing for my computer, either, so I'm using a trial version of CS4, although I got some info that will (in theory) make it a permanent thing. I've tried to call Adobe support about the issue but after sitting on hold for 30+ minutes, then being told to uninstall my AVG to correct the problem, it NOT working and then not being able to REINSTALL AVG I'm a little hesitant to call them back for fear of more things fucking up on my computer.

This is a brand new computer and yet I've already had to do a couple system restores due to the AVG issue, and something about my Catalyst something or other fucking up, which I think was due to me installing a desktop widget it didn't like, I don't know. I'm really liking Windows 7 but I continue to eye the computer warily.

Now, onto the real reason for this post: Finge.

( When did they move the eps to Monday?! )

I'm hoping that when I'm back on track health-wise I can get back into the swing of things, especially since my second job isn't working me three days a week anymore but I can't promise anything. My icon-foo is broken (I'm trying but it's not working) and I'm floating in fandom stagnation at the moment.

I started a complete Alias rewatch over the weekend and it's awesome.

Quick update on the computer thing-- everything is back to normal-ish! The monitor issue was fixed with a driver, which was cool. I found it okay. Then I had weird sound issues (ie- not being able to disable that annoying-as-fuck computer beep) and realized I didn't HAVE sound. So then I had to go on a journey for my sound driver, which was actually easy because it was on my driver disc but, for some reason, didn't install. And then I think I had to find another sound driver or something. I don't know.

Either way, everything is good now. I have all the drivers I need, I think, and things are going smoothly. Altough my flash is fucking up so I had to uninstall it. I'll try to re-install when I need it again but there was something FUCKED UP with it. It popped up every 15 minutes or so, asking me where the debugger was, or something, and then when I opened a new window it would give me the 'Flash install status bar' and then another window that said installation complete, or something. So I just uninstalled for now. Fuck flash.

ANYWAY. THANK YOU to everyone who replied to my entries and helped me out and offered suggestions and generally listened to me be a spazz about something I probably shouldn't have been doing to begin with. You helped me SO MUCH!

I had my first massage yesterday since May and since before the second accident. You guys, I am A MESS! My back hurt so bad today and she didn't even really get to DO much. I have so many impingments and pinching nerves and knots and WHAT THE FUCK. I've also changed my physiotherapist because the place I was going to since the first accident is dumb. I had an assessment done at a second place, at my own expense, and this place did a much more detailed assessment. Turns out the left side of my body is much less mobile than my right side.

The place I'm at currently? Has been doing the exact same exercises and routine on me since the first accident in April. NO WONDER I'm so fucked up.

Now for the real reason for this post-- ( I just finished my marathon re-watch of 'Fringe' s1 )

I'm still working on the Katie moodtheme and I've been making new wallpapers for this monitor since it's so huge so I might be sharing those soon. They're not GOOD, not really, but they get the job done. I've been tinkering with different things on them so that was fun. I need to post those icons I said I was going to last week, as well. Soon. Soon.

I don't really have an opinion on the Christian Bale outburst/tirade/rant that was leaked to the internet yesterday.

I do, however, have an opinion about the remix of his outburst. I have shit an awesome brick.



Project Runway Canada... eh.

Looking forward to Fringe. Like whoa. x10.

AND AND AND! VALENTINE'S DAY GAME!!! svmadelyn has done this for a few years now, maybe longer, and I've participated in it for the past couple at least.

It's a really nice way to get a Valentine that makes you feel super special, both as a giver and a receiver.

( quick spoiler-ish thing for American Idol )

Oh, and Fringe? Please don't fall into the JJ Abrams pit of despair with your "next chapters" of the story and shit. Please? I want to like you for awhile.
