Oct. 29th, 2006 11:04 amFinally finished watching all the Ally McBeal episodes with Lisa Edelstein in them. Most of the time I just want to jump into the screen and hug her. She needs hugs. People are mean.
Decided that I'm probably going to go for the data recovery thing. These guys at this store close to my house said that the highest they go for recovery is $140. Mine hopefully won't be that bad and will be closer to the $60. I went price comparing on Friday; the little store had that price. Best Buy? They wanted $99 per 9 gigabytes of material recovered. I have 40GB on there. *Maths* Nope. And my dad said he'd pay half of the recovery, so it might not be horrible.
But I got a new (3.5 in) hard drive with 200GB on it. Which makes me sort of happy. In that it's 200GB which is 160 more than I used to have and was about half the price of the old one (because it's not mini or external). But not as in that it's an internal one and 3.5 as opposed to my old one's 2.5 (laptop size), so it's in the little internal-to-external box thing, which is big and heavy and not bounce-proof at all (the old one had rubber bits inside to absorb shock) and requires external power instead of just taking it through the USB port like the old one, so I've got a cord stretched across the kitchen to the plug on the other side of the room. And to top it all off, I haven't gotten it to work yet. My dad didn't look at the master/slave settings when he put it in, so it might be on the wrong thing, which would explain the non-workage.
Baseball makes me angry. As in, if I had wanted to, I wouldn't have been able to drive in the city at all for all this weekend because of the stupid baseball games and victory parties and all. Get this. The Saturday newspaper. There were 2 bits. Like two whole newspapers. 44 pages of normal newspaper with only sparse mentions of the Cardinals. And then a 50 page second section of which more than half was stupid baseball (and the rest just other sports). A 50 page sports section. Crazy. I think everybody that cares knows that the Cardinals won. We really don't need 30 pages about it.
Hugh Laurie on SNL: Can I marry you? I even promise I won't cheat on you with Lisa Edelsteinmuch without letting you watch. He was like the funniest one most of the time. Except for that whole stupid sketch where they were in the ER with the guy's broken leg. That one just fell on its face. But we've learned something from that sketch. Hugh has amazing legs. And the singing! Wow. He = amazing.
Watched X-Men 3. Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart areprobably the best looking, sexiest voiced, most talented older male actors out there. Them together is just wow. Especially when they're like "Charles!" "Eric!" and I'm like "Hee, you guys were so together".
