I officially have a new obsession: Higher Ground. It's a tv show they had on a few years ago, I guess, but it's on YouTube now. Stef has been trying to get me to watch it for ages and I finally did. Wow! It's SO good, almost physically painful to watch at times. The really good part is that there's not that many episodes (I can't remember whether she said 20-something or 40-something, but either way)... so it won't interfere TOO much with my other stuff. Just one or two episodes a day when I'm online. As many Hikaru No Go episodes as I can get through. And generally 3 episodes of Prince of Tennis a day. (Er.... yeah, I've been watching a lot of tv through YouTube lately. Meh.)
Stef and I decided that if she can count audio books on her "books read" list, then I can count manga. So that makes things easier as far as the book reading this year... I have 9 reads automatically to go to the 24 total, and that's just if I stick with the Hikaru No Go. That's also assuming they only release volume 9 this year and nothing else (which would seriously suck). So yeah. I feel better about that now.
I've decided that it's about time I changed my default userpic. I've had the other one since I first got this journal way back in the day... Yeah. Definitely time to change it. So it's this Japanese (at least I think it was Japanese. Might have been Chinese, actually...) character for "Be Lost", which fits because "verloren" is German for "lost". So yeah. That... and the character just freaking looks cool. I also uploaded a few more userpics that I've had on my computer forever and just keep forgetting to add. There's some fun stuff in there. It's interesting how my icon-making skills have developed, though... like I started off with things like "Draco's Hat" and now I'm doing stuff like "All About Me", which is still my favorite icon as far as looks are concerned. It's a huge difference. I still can't do animated GIF's, though, just because I don't have a program that can pull it off since I'm poor and can't afford one.
For some reason I'm really tired all of a sudden and I'm not really sure why. Meh. Well... I don't have to go to work until 5, which is good. Unfortunately that means I'll be there until midnight, though. I fucking hate the midnight shifts. One of these days I'm really going to strangle Heather. But anyway...
I had to uninstall Limewire because it was giving me all kinds of problems. It kept starting itself up for no apparent reason even after I'd disconnected it and exited out of it... it would pop up every five minutes and it was as annoying as hell. And nothing else I tried worked. I also finally got around to doing a disk defrag yesterday, because it'd been a long time and it really needed to be done. So things are running a bit better now. Cleaned up and got rid of some of the programs that I know for a fact I never use (and I know what they are... there's plenty on here that I don't know what it does and I'd rather leave it alone, thanks)... so a productive day yesterday as far as that's concerned. It's something. On that note, I've decided that when my taxes come back I either need to invest in an external hard drive or maybe get a laptop computer. Because... I've just got entirely too much crap on this computer. Really.
I think I'm going to watch some more of this episode of Higher Ground. And then there's Hikaru No Go. And I should probably download volume 4 to my computer, because it would be just my luck that mom would call in tomorrow or something, and that's the only one I don't have either downloaded (like 2) or in book form. And I've started 3 already, so... yeah. Anyway. Later!
