Two posts in one day? It's like the old days again!

People hear zombie songs and, apparently, think of me. Someone (thstlenshmrock, I think? This was a while ago, and I'm afraid I can't remember for certain) send me this one, and I wish I had a way to rip the song off the site (or knew how to find a download) because it's brilliant.

Speaking of zombies, has anyone seen Zombie Strippers? I've heard it's one of those movies I have to see, but I'm a little taken aback by (a) the strippers and (b) Jenna Jameson. It's playing in Baltimore somewhere, I assume, since there are posters for it all over Lexington Market, but I'm not sure where -- or if I even want to spend the money on it. Have you seen it? Tell me what you thought. I'd really like to know.

In non-zombie news, I need to start looking at new computers. The one I have (an HP a220n, if anyone is honestly that curious) has been serving me very well since I got it back in the summer of 2003, and I've only ever had to take it into a shop once (to get a fan replaced. This was a few years ago). I love my computer, and I really don't want to get a new one, but it's not as reliable as it once was. This was further realized a few weeks ago when I attempted to start it up and repeatedly received a system error. I eventually wormed through it (thank goodness), but I've been hesitant to turn the computer off ever since -- just in case I can't get through next time. ^^ I did go ahead and back everything up, though, so at least if I can't get in I won't have lost everything.

Anyway, everyone I've spoken to has agreed: I need a new computer. Or at least a new tower (the monitor is still fine, and still in sexy-sexy condition). I've been toying with the idea of getting a laptop, but I'm hesitant to do so. I also want to keep with Windows because (as much as I love Mac) it handles just about everything I throw at it -- and I'm much more familiar with the operating system not to mention my internet provider has told me flat out that it's not compatible with Macs.

So I guess I should start shopping for a new system -- which is the last thing I want to do. If anyone has suggestions or would really, really like to make it easy on me, I'd appreciate it. -_- I'm not looking forward to the computer shopping at all. I understand computers pretty well, but actually reading all the specs makes my brain cry a little. So! If anyone would like to offer computer advice in human-speak, I'd love you for it.

I'm asking a lot of people today, and feel like I should give them something in return. Sadly, I have nothing (except bad Gravi!fic, but I should really stop letting people encourage me away from my original writing).

OH! infected_wound? Your package came today. You're so incredibly awesome and thank you! The sketches are gorgeous. I want to frame Muu-chan and put her somewhere special. ♥ And the rest... Gyah. I wish I had a fraction of your talent. (Oh, and the discs -- thanks for those, too. ^_~ I haven't had the chance to look at them, but I'm looking forward to it. And while I'm at it? SATC. More yes, please?)

Right click on your "this one" link and then "save target as". Voila-- mp3 downloaded!

Also, Muu-chan is female. :D

[kageotogi.livejournal.com]

Oddly, that wasn't working earlier. I wonder why it is now? *muse*

Eeee, I knew that. *fixes*

[infected-wound.livejournal.com]

So Sugino says... but I think Muu's Muusexual 8D

[imayb1.livejournal.com]

I must admit to some prurient curiosity about how Sugino and Muu even have sex. XD

[infected-wound.livejournal.com]

That's because they don't~~

Sugino clearly says that their marriage is.. uh... platonic. But maybe once in a while, Muu-chan gives him a tongue bath. *giggles* I just can't see Muu-chan has been pure-hearted enough to stay in the platonic thing...

[imayb1.livejournal.com]

Ah. Keeping Tactics clean for the kiddies, then. ...That is an awfully misleading role model.

[infected-wound.livejournal.com]

Muu-chan's evil laughter gives her away, you know? And kiddies? Tactics for kiddieeeesss? X33 I thought Kan-chan's evilness effectively bumped it up from PG...

I can't wait for the rest of the manga to get heeereee ~ in Engliiiisssh~ Oh, the anticipaaatiooooon~~~!

[imayb1.livejournal.com]

It's something I've never really understood about American censorship: fighting, violence, and gore will always pass more easily than any flashing of flesh. The manga has an "All Ages" rating.

[infected-wound.livejournal.com]

Even with the obvious use of opium in one of the volumes, uh, and stuff?

Well, at least I can honestly say to my parents, my tactics-loving is completely all-ages-rating! :D :D :D

[imayb1.livejournal.com]

So far, it's "All Ages". They might bump the drug volume up a notch or do some creative editing.

[infected-wound.livejournal.com]

Do not like the sound of "creative editing"! They already edited out the opium part in the anime :( though the anime got extra homosexual innuendo in it...

Unf unf. Stuff get serious-er later~ Yay yay yay~

...*random thoughts are random* *kicks Hiro who she is drawing atm*

[yellowhorde.livejournal.com]

That song's awesome, cracked me right up. *^-^* Thanks for sharing!

[kageotogi.livejournal.com]

Then my work here is done. ^_~

My computer is from 2005ish and is a Dell laptop...and it is also having fan problems. It makes this crazy buzzing clanky noise that just can't mean anything good. That's only the newest problem with it, so I have been keeping an eye out for computers as well.
But I'm leaning in the direction of the Macbook, I must confess, so I have no advice beyond that.

[kageotogi.livejournal.com]

Get that fan replaced, yo! ...or get a new computer. Whatever is more cost-effective. ^_~

[infected-wound.livejournal.com]

I'm glad the package caaame~ I was wondering when it would and hoping evil customs don't poke it and stuff~~

B-but~ Enjoy the stuff I crammed into it :3 ~ tactics and silver diamond especially, yes yes. tactics and muu-chan especially!

I'm gonna give myself a good kick today XD I've been horribly lazy lately~

SATC POWAAH! ON!~ *has chips and lemon tea for batterrrryy~*

[kageotogi.livejournal.com]

Package. ^_^ They did not poke at it. I poked it. And I let the cat sniff at it. But customs left it clean. Which was very nice of them~

I will! I intend to get into that today. :X

SATC~!!! :D

[thstlenshmrock.livejournal.com]

Yep, I sent you the link to the zombie song. ;) My darling bouzouki friend wrote it. ;)

[kageotogi.livejournal.com]

Knew it. ^__^ And thank you~ It's a wonderful song. You may tell your darling bouzouki friend that it's super-awesome.

Hello, I was wondering if it would be okay to share a yousendit link with the people on my flist. I really loved the song and I think it might benefit from more exposure. But I would understand if you would prefer me to not do so.

Thanks! And I really do enjoy the song. *^-^*

[yellowhorde.livejournal.com]

Sorry, that was me. I forgot to log in.

[thstlenshmrock.livejournal.com]

Oh, please feel free to share it! If you could please credit it to Norm Sherman at Drabblecast, that would be great.
