MCOQueen's Ramblings

It's been a while since I've updated. This is probably going to be a really long post so ON with the LJ Cut!!!

Computer Update:  My Eldest Bro and Magnus discussed my computer problem and my brother pretty much came up with the fact that either or both my motherboard and chip have gone bad and need to be replaced.  My brother mentioned that since I needed to get them replaced that I might as well upgrade my computer since a lot of my stuff is old (except my motherboard which is only 2 years old).  So I gave my bro my credit card and a budget and he ordered for me all the computer parts than I needed and want.  I'm getting a new dvd-rom because my old one won't play dvd's anymore.  I'm also getting a 16x DVD Burner because the one I have is a 4x and it takes forever to burn DVDS!!!  I'm also getting a new Video Card since the one I have is old and outdated.  I thought I might as well upgrade everything at once.   I can't wait to have my computer back.  Oh, Computer, how I miss thee!!!

Damn computer!  Why can't it go more than 2 years without a major hitch?  Seriously?  Why not?  My computer is just constantly rebooting right now.  It won't load windows.  On one screen it recognizes my hard drives and then on the next, it doesn't.   My brother thinks that my fan is bad and my computer is overheating.  I sure hope that's it.  I bought the motherboard 2 years ago.  It better not be the motherboard!!!! 

I never realized how addicted I was to my computer until I couldn't use it anymore.  It's currently turned off and will remain that way until I get a new fan.  I can't check my work e-mail from home anymore.  I don't remember the web address so I can't check it on my brother's computer.  I always had it saved on my computer. 

I finished reading "Asking for Trouble" by Elizabeth Young.  (Another British Chick-lit author).  The book was very funny and I enjoyed it immensely.  I have another book by her that I'm currently reading right now.  It's called "A Girl's Best Friend". 

I've found another vampire killer series:  "Candace Steele Vampire Killer" series.  I haven't read the first book yet.  I'm hoping it's as good as Anita Blake but not as PORNOish.  The Anita Blake series was so good up until the last few.  Now, I have to force myself to continue reading that series. 

Not too much to do at work today.  A few commercials, a few promos, a few shows to check, and etc. 

I've been on a fruit dehydrating spree.  I have a dehydator at home.  I've dried bananas, strawberries, apples,  grapes (making raisins) , and kiwis.  The dried strawberries and bananas are awesome with cheerios and milk!  Yum!!! 

Well, I should probably pull my tapes now.  Later.
