anonymoose_au: (Hey! Bitches)
11:24pm: So after looking more carefully online for answers, I downloaded a program called ISOBuster which is able to recover data from DVDs even when they can't be read anymore. I wasn't entirely hopefully, but...it worked! :OD The downside is firstly, the file recovered is one big one instead of the split into sections like they were when I originally recorded the DVD and secondly the file itself is one that I'm not sure will play on anything else. I think there's a way to convert them, but I dunno, it might cost money.

Plus this means I need to shell out for an external hard drive, so I can convert all the DVDs onto it...which I suppose might be a good idea, although I did go to some effort to label the DVD cases, and draw little pictures on them and everything. However, putting all of it on an external hard drive would save me quite a bit of space. There's a huge crate under my bed at the moment...

Anyway, I fear I'll be inflicting short entry syndrome on you all because I've managed to let myself get distracted and now I have to go to bed! Thankfully, I don't have to get to work early tomorrow but that doesn't mean I'm not sleepy! Especially after not getting enough zzzs over the last few nights.

What else? Well! I did manage to get the recording of Torino from the DVD, sadly I mustn't have adjusted the tracking or the tape was bad because the picture quality is shit. But I was still able to listen to what the Australian commentators had to say about Plushy. Clearly they thought he was awesome sauce. Ha! Also they chat way less then the US commentators so one was able to enjoy the actual program. Good times, good times.

And I shall be off now because I'm dying of thirst and I need to brush my teeth and put my acne cream on before I hit the hay.

For now goodnight!

10:12pm: So the packing and DVD dubbing continues!

I've cleared the top half of the sideboard which is good because that needed to be done, although I still need to move the rest of the stuff in the cupboard underneath.

As for the DVD dubbing I'm on Strictly Dancing, ah I loved that show so much, although I've just realised why my favourite dancer on it was my favourite dancer. He had attitude, a large nose and a blond mullet. LMAO it's Plushy! :OP Well if Plushy was a hair dresser with a faintly French accent from NSW. I'm so amused!

Although it's occurred to me that since Strictly Dancing came to my attention before Plushy did it might be the other way around! Ha ha that's even funnier. Gotta wonder what ever became of Gabriel and his blond mullet...

What else? Well, I'm rather annoyed that I managed to lose the clip-on holder thing for my fitness tracker. It happened on Saturday and I thought I might have lost the whole thing! So it was quite a relief that I hadn't, but now I've got no clip-on thing so unless I wear the wristband I have to carry the tracker loose in my pocket. Damn. And where am I supposed to put it when I don't have pockets?

And I'm sure you found the above fascinating. :OP

Anyway, I better do a Meme or two, lest I fall completely behind!

Booking Through Thursday

Multiples

Do you own multiple copies of any books? Why? Is it the format? Size? Just because you love it?

I do actually! In one case In had three copies of George III: A Personal History one soft cover - that's all dog-eared now and I ended up with two hardcover copies because the first one was the wrong edition with black and white pictures, but it turned out to be expensive to send it back because Australia Post is an ass. But I got the amount I paid refunded. Anyway, I'm back to two copies now. And there's a few other books I have doubles of, like the Harry Potter books hardcover and softcover.

Press

1. In what way are you pressing your luck? Well, I'm probably doing that with the paking to be honest...I should be working at it a bit more, I keep getting distracted!

2. When did you last wield an iron? Last Thursday...or was it Friday? Anyway, one of my duties for Mrs S is to do ironing. The last time I picked up an iron for myself, LOL it's been forever, I hate ironing.

3. Not counting buttons on your computer, tablet, or phone, what was the result the last time you pressed a button? This morning when I pressed the doorbell at Mrs S's place.

4. What was the name of your high school newspaper? We didn't have one...although every so often there'd be a more official kind of pamphlet called Monte Matters.

5. To “press the flesh” means (usually in the context of politics or public relations) to meet and greet as many people as you can, shaking hands and making personal contact. When were you last called upon to press the flesh, and how were you?
Uh...I guess that would have been the pre-Christmas Party with my aunt's fiance's family, hadn't met them before, but I think I acquitted myself well. :OP

Saturday 9

:Sorry (2015):

1) This song is a plea for a second chance. Are you good at forgiving/forgetting? I like to think I am, although fortunately, I haven't had a lot bad stuff happen that needs forgiving and forgetting.

2) Justin asks his girl to "forget this." What have you done/said recently that you wish could just be forgotten? Uh...I'm not sure. Well, I'd like to forget I whacked my shin into the footstool at least if it got rid of the massive bruise.

3) Mr. Bieber says he needs just 6 hours sleep every night. How about you? How much sleep do you require to feel sharp? Well, bully for him. As for me I need about 8, no less than 7.5 though!

4) Justin prefers D&G underwear, which can cost as much as $102/pair. Sam may be crazy, but there's no way she'd spend that much on underwear. What's something you're willing to splurge on? Me neither! That's insane, man! However, I'm willing to splurge on books.

5) He may be picky about underwear but not cuisine. He loves Big Macs. If we were going to McDonald's, what would you order? Well, I don't eat Macca's burgers now that they've changed the cheese, so I'd go with a salad.

6) When it comes to healthier fare, Bieber has told fans he enjoys snacking on bananas and grapes. What do you reach for between meals? Usually it's cheese and chocolate, but I've been trying to do better with fruit.

7) Performing in Germany, Justin Bieber told a girl who approached the stage, "Ich liebe dich” ("I love you") and she fainted. Have you ever fainted? Yes, aaaand it sucked serious ass, I was so dizzy and I felt nauseous and it was hours before I felt better. This was from getting blood drawn...which has left me afraid to donate.

8) As a kid, Justin was teased for being one of the shortest in his class. What do you recall being teased about in school? Hmpf! Pretty much everything, I was a weird kid to be sure...but yeah.

9) Random question: Will you be watching this weekend's Super Bowl? Not American so no, although Mrs S husband watched it and OMG is there always so much stopping and starting in American Football? It's so weird!

Right, better wrap this up, I need to go to bed as soon as I finish dubbing this episode of Strictly Dancing - where incidentally some couple dissed Gabriel and I was all "Oh I will take you down from 12 years in the future!" :OP

So for now, goodnight!

9:32pm: Yep, that's what I'm doing right now :O) It's been quite a while indeed since I've played and I haven't done much with the Pets expansion pack, in fact I might not have done anything with it. I've just discovered some amazing things, like ice cream trucks! And wild horses! (Although I haven't actually seen those yet). Niiiice. And another expansion pack is coming out soon with supernatural themes! Neeeat.

In other news, the cold is clearing up finally, very good news indeed and I don't have anything else to report apart from that really.

Ha ha! I just found the wild horse, it's standing in the middle of the town like it owns the place. I is amused.

And now the Memes! )

Right better be off now!

Goodnight all!

anonymoose_au: (Whoops!)
11:12pm: Time flies when you're playing Sim City 4 and listening to Simpsons Season 8 commentary and reading books! It's almost 11:30 and I'm only just updating now.

I was quite busy today, what with going to my stretch class at the gym then I went out to drop off my resume at a shop because a friend told me they're were advertising. Unfotutnately, the notices wasn't there any more, but I did give my resume to Bakers Delight, I'm not sure if I'll get that, I'm getting ooold and employers will always go for the younger people, the cheapskates. Still it'll count for my job search with Centrelink.

I also picked up Dad's watch, which is an heirloom from his father and I got this lovely green t-shirt on special at the sports shop down there. I also brought a book from Vinnies and saw something very cool indeed! I was tempted to buy it, in fact I might go back and do so if you guys think it's a fun idea.

Inflatable scrabble! No seriously! I got a picture of it! How cool does that look? Only $4, do you think I should get it? Please advise!

Anyways...memes please!
