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

People hear zombie songs and, apparently, think of me. Someone ([livejournal.com profile] 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! [livejournal.com profile] 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

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.
