Ok, even though I worked out what set of circumstances provided with the next of blue screen problems, I just decided to forget about it and reinstall – again. Seems to have worked this time… in theory.

OK, my whole computer is acting up

Cause it seems just when I get one cause nailed down for the these bluescreens, another comes up.
All this crap just because my harddrive decided to bite the dust, or atleast get dangerously near that point.
Jeez, never had one blue screen in XP until all this decided to rain down on me.

Giving me the screens colorized all in blue
Their driver update nearly killed my box
Therefore I declare Nvidia doesn’t rock
Never had one blue screen with XP until this. Good thing I could roll the drivers back. Boourns to Nvidia.

I’ve got no clue how generic filter disco is suppose to work with anything in the doujinshi, but it was fun to make. Yay for tempo syncable oscillators and delays and cheesy ready made house loops. BTW, I made this in like 3 hours, so if it sucks, too bad. It’s a goof track.
And no, this isn’t a distraction from working on the nerdcore LP, it’s random inspiration striking and me running with it. For better or worse.

Doujinshi OST Preview Round 1

So I’ll be making an OST for a doujinshi a few friends of mine are putting together for SakuraCon 2k6. Here’s one of tracks from it:
It’s glitchy and pop drum n’bass-ish at the same time. Think Aphex Twin via Outkast.

“Burn Berlin! Burn!” – Atari Teenage Riot

Today has been a day of burning discs. Data recovery has been going pretty good though, so I get to rest easy knowing I won’t have to rework a bunch of stuff from scratch, most importantly my lyrics and music (which are now multibacked up, and it’s staying that way.) Now, to try to get some sleep. And burn macross zero off the dying drive. Wish I could, you know, BUY it, but alas, no dice. Even though it so should already be here and dubbed and on Cartoon Network somehow.
BTW, coming soon to CN: Evangelion. Meanwhile, parka sales in the 7th circle reach all time high.
But yeah, should be interesting to see how that turns out.

I’ve got my data backed up mostly. Looks like I survived this computer issue. Just by the skin of my teeth, but I did survive it. And I’ve got 2 songs worth of lyrics to show for it. Maybe this wasn’t such a bad deal after all. it helped get the album done, that’s for sure. Strange way of helping, but help nonetheless.

Charley Party

Well, actually a dinner at a Chinese Restaurant (I ate so much pork fried rice!) and bowling, but close enough, right? This came together because Charlie called me up and mention she’d be gone for a year, not the original 3 months. So I called everybody I could get a number for at Anime Kingdom, and told them when and where, and thanks to the wonderful factor of word of mouth ended up with about 6 more friends of Charley’s than expected.
It still sucks that she’ll be stuck in rural North Carolina for a year, but atleast she’s had a good send off. Like MacArthur, she shall return. 🙂
PS: My computer is still being a pain. Thanks Maxtor, and thanks Microsoft. 🙁
