11:29pm: Ah crap look at the time! I decided to watch Tangled, which I borrowed from the library like a week ago but haven't had time to watch it until now, but I didn't pay attention to the time when I did! Now it's past my bedtime and I haven't even studied my Russian. I'll have to give it a miss tonight because I haven't been getting enough zzzs and I don't want to end up being too sleepy.

Anyway, not much to report today, except I almost forgot I had a shift on at the Library! Fortunately Mrs S asked me and I double checked my phone. Although this did mean that I didn't get to go to the gym...again...booo! I'm gonna go tomorrow though, so help me!

I also made my lasagna tonight and managed not to burn the top of it in the oven here, yaaay!

I planned to dub some more ice skating, but SBS on Demand was being an ass...maybe it doesn't work right when there's too many people on the net, perhaps if I try it when the people in the main house aren't home it'll work all right. Fingers crossed!

Now, though, I must flee!

Goodnight all!

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!

11:40pm: I've done it again! But all this dubbing does distract a person from what time it is...at least that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

Anyway, I'm still here in the Granny Flat because the land lady wasn't at home when I got back from work and I also had to do my washing here (since Mum was of the opinion that one shouldn't do their washing first thing when moving into a new place) and, of course, to make a dent on the recording. I guess I can - hopefully - finish up the taping this week by coming over after my shifts at the Mall Library. I can park my car here before getting the bus.

In other news, there's two flies in the flat and they're really annoying me, but I hate bringing out the fly spray because that stuff gets everywhere and makes it hard to breathe!

Anyway, it was a busy day although I don't know how I'm going to move all my kitchen stuff...mostly because I don't have enough boxes. In fact, I don't really have any boxes. Mum brought a basket over from M's (she had to go and get her mobile phone which left behind there), but it's quite small and I've all ready filled it. I may have to use plastic bags to carry the rest of the stuff.

What else to report? Well, I got a nice green top and skirt and jacket from Aldi after work today. Hopefully, they'll fit, I've tried on the green shirt, I wonder actually if it's too big, but that's really quite confusing because according to the measurements on the size chart it should actually be a bit small. WTF? Do I just fail at measuring myself or what? So mysterious and annoying for when I make clothes! I still need to make that purple shirt after all.

Anyway, I better go in case I need to make more than one trip to the new place tomorrow morning before work.

Oh! I'm happy to report that work is going very well, it's only the second week, but I remain pleased!

Now, I bid you all goodnight!
