8164 - Last day of the long weekend, taking it slow.

[scottobear]

The birthday FP with Kev and Tomi was fun - we watched Die Hard, an episode of Lost (they're just getting into it - it was the Kate bank-robber one), Wedding Crashers (which was better than I thought it'd be), and played some xbox: "From Russia With Love" and "Lego Star Wars" - both of which were a great load of fun, and nifty interpretations of the source material. The Bond game had especially good sound and sets, and Lego probably would have the most repeat gameplay, if I had any talent at all for the pod racing pat of the game. The pizza was good, I'd not had the Papa Johns Square pie before, and it was pretty yummo.

Got Gun as a b'day prezzie, and I look forward to playing it once big brain returns.

Bailey-pooch won "cutest in menagerie" - Kev's got a lot of critters staying at his house right now - three dogs, four cats, two fish, his sister, her husband, their three daughters and one son, plus Tomi. Moneypenny, the runt mainecoon (2 years old and all of seven lbs) was a close second.

Bailey with the airplane ears. They naturally stick out like that at rest,
but can go to full attention if need be. She's a little snuggle bug.

It'll probably be the last time for Tomi in the USA, probably - his sis and her hubby are moving to New Zealand. Just an excuse for me to go to Finland then!I now have buddies in Iceland, Norway and Finland to visit now. Maybe I should invest in a few items of cold-weather gear.

Awwww! Airplane ears are so cute.

Bailey is a sweet-pea, too! She's an all-around groovy puppy.

[ilenebook.livejournal.com]

Sweet doggie pic. Got any pics of the other critters?
Have a happy weekend what is left.

I've heard Lapland is nice *snicker*

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

hm! maybe a stipclub would be nice! ;D

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Yeah but would Santa be there?

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

If he's lucky!

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Nooooooooooo Santa doesn't want to see nekkid women! Nooooo you've killed my childhood :D

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Hey--can I ask you a computery type question? Can you help a sister out?

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I'll give a try!

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Well I feel like a total dork and I'm frustrated---I've tried all day to get my new stupid laptop to do what I want and it won't. I regularly keep my laptop on mute mode because if I get to class late
I get the look of death if I make any start-up sounds. On my new Vaio even though I have it on mute it STILL plays (and very loudly I might add) the start-up ditty. I know I should give it a try and get used to this laptop but if I can't get it to be silent by tomorrow it might get kicked to the curb. Oh bother--I'm in a tizzy. This is my 5th laptop in 4 years---I'm running out brands to try!

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

ACK--nevermind. I've packed it up--it must go. I've tried everything---finding the sound file and re-recording it as blank white noise to searching for a fix on the internet.If Sony decides it needs to make a start-up sound before windows loads that can't be muted I'm boycotting them! Now I need to find another new computer STAT. I boycott Gateway, avoid Dell and seem to put HP's and Compaq's in the hospital. I guess it has to be a Toshiba.
*sigh*

I'm so sorry that you've been suffering!!

a cheapo-fix might be to plug a headphone earpiece into the speaker jack to boot with?

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Oh thanks for offering to help! I thought of that headphone trick but I just don't think I love this computer enough to put up with jimmy rigging it. It doesn't even fit in my laptop bags and it isn't the tablet that someone talked me out of (which my heart was set on).

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

quite welcome... wish i could've helped more!

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Now that they make Vaios in PINK I might be persuaded to give them another try.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

hmmm... want it for vallies day?

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Nah. You know what I want? You! Dressed in Pink and red and sparkles and glitter!!! Wooooo!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I need to find a pink bathrobe and cupid wings! :D

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

REALLLLLY????!!!!! MAN! This makes me more excited than finding out that Jane Austen Book Club is the next movie in our Netflix cue! Woooooo! Whatta good day!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Yay for happy Allison!!!!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

does your vaio have a physical volume slider on the side? perhaps you can hardware-turn it all the way down, too?

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Nope. And when it starts up the screen says "Worship satan."

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

doh!

[kat78731.livejournal.com]

If it's a Sony noise rather than an MS noise then maybe it needs to be disabled in the BIOS? Moot I suppose since it has been booted. Tablets look spiffy.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Tablets are a lot of fun... like giant palmtops!

[boopydoodle.livejournal.com]

Bailey is a cutie!!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

and a snuggle-bunny!

[juliabee.livejournal.com]

What were you doing on a train?? :)))

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

riding north in the rain to Kev's house for a par-tay! :D
