By the time I was done with the whole fondling and washing fiasco, I almost didn't wanna cook the damn bird. I felt emotionally attached. Like, I've been in places that poor bird couldn't even have a lover fondle. Sort of disgusting. Not as bad as that guy who liked to use dead fish as love dolls, though. Close.

So, now it's in the oven. For two and a half hours. I'm going to hope and pray that it'll come out alright. The directions say to do it this way, so I am. I'm going to have to read carving directions now, and... end up eating it all by myself. Or tossing it out the window at someone passing buy, which might be funny for a while.

Ta-da.

I am living proof that incessant bitching gets you somewhere in life (even if that somewhere is posting thoughts that no one cares about on a website that god knows how many people read.)

Sigh.

Jason told me something about how he installed Nero and it wouldnt work. CloneCD wouldn't work. Then, suddenly in a fit of rage he shouted from the top of his lungs, "OOOOhhh NO! My drives are now non-existant! Oh pain, oh suffering!" I agreed to go over to his house sometime and fix it, but I figure it was just his crappy TDK veloCD 241040, or whatever it is. My Sony was working fine with XP, so far.

Then, I decided to download a ISO of PowerDVD3, it's in the bin/cue format, which is only burnable by Fireburner, Nero, and CDRwin. I downloaded Fireburner to find a message about an ASPI driver not being there, etc. I found that funny, downloaded the ASPI drivers and they wouldn't install. I searched the net and found that MS considers this glaring and horrible bug to be "Behavior by Design." Hoo-boy. They tell you to go to some german website to download the ASPI drivers on one support page, and then to Adaptec's very own site the next.

Adaptec has WindowsXP warnings plastered everywhere not to install the updates... So I download the german ones, and various others, and install them. I load Fireburner, and it seems to work fine, but everytime I hit a certain percent, it coasters. I created five coasters between CDRwin, Fireburner, and... yeah. I'm stupid.

I went to Nero's site finally, finding out they can burn cue/bin ISO's also, and they say their new Nero 5.5.5.1 is the official Nero for WindowsXP, so I assume that I'm safe. I download, install it, and reboot... I load up Nero and it tells me I have no recording devices what so ever. I'm puzzled, and load up My Computer only to see... that I have no cd-rom drives what so ever. I panic, and do a System Restore point... several times. Thank god for System Restore.

As it is, I downloaded aspiinst.exe and installed those, ASPI 4.54 or something, like it says to install on the Microsoft pages, and those apparently had no errors besides the fact that Fireburner and CDRwin still don't see my CD drives, but they're there. And they play DVDs and burn with other programs. I gave up and downloaded a program that will convert cue/bins to ISO, which worked, and I'm happy. For now.

I don't know what I'm going to do for Jason though. He doesn't have the luxury of Sony CD Extreme like I do, he used Nero for all his stuff, unless I can give him Sony CD Extreme to burn cue/bins that are converted to ISO. We'll see, I guess. But yes: No ASPI layer makes Brad unhappy at XP.

God, archaic literature is fucking stupid or I am, because I can't understand it

I'm like, GODDAMNIT HAWTHORNE! USE LANGUAGE WE CAN ALL UNDERSTAND!

Try reading A Clockwork Orange. It's not archaic, but fuck... that book is nearly impossible to read. It's all written in their fucked up language

Is it like, "I your humble narrator (and your humble narrator am I) was ready for a bit of the old in-out-in-out"?

It's worse.

Wow

We're talking froody verkovas and blah blah it's horrible.

LOL

I couldn't get past the 15th page because even with the dictionary in the back (that made it even more confusing to read) it's still impossible.

I swear it sounds like it was written in an attempt to write down in words what an unintelligible drunkard with a thick British drawl sounds like.

THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HILARIOUSLY FUNNY YOU BASTARD!

LAUGH NOW!

*chirp...chirp*

Sorry, I was in the kitchen, making sausage, because I am a complete and total loser who eats sausage at 1 in the morning.

I have just witnessed maybe the most hilarious event ever, and I had to make a second sausage because of it.

What?

There had been a fly in the house, and apparently it flew in the microwave right before I shut it, I heard a little "POP" and noticed that the inside of the microwave was covered in fly guts

Okay, you are obviously more easily amused than I am.

You just notice this now?

I rant about British drawl and you're like, "FLY GUTS! HWAHAHAHA!" You might as well repeat "FRANKS AND BEANS!" uncontrollably for hours on end and laugh at yourself.

I am clever. Bare witness.

Everyone welcome Alfred Turner back to EB. His incessant bitching has gained him rights to post, again. I am a pussy.

Stupid assholes that are in your band that think they're funny and have all of the equipment so that if you kick them out you can't really play anymore so you have to put up with their stupid remarks and even uglier face until you can find a job and buy equipment for yourself.

.....Stupid Asshole.

We went to California High School's parking lot at about the right time, and I took a lot of cool pictures thanks to the fog... But we saw, like, three meteors tops. Stupid fog. The one I saw was hella sweet, well, as sweet as a bold white line shooting across the sky can be. Sad.

Stupid fog.
