Curses! Foiled again!!

I've been trying to figure out how to get my BitTorrent to work, to no avail. It doen't help matters any that I'm such a techno-virgin that I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. Most everyone on my FL seems to have figured it out, because they seem to be downloading (and watching) all sorts of stuff. I think I need to get a client of some sort, but I have no idea where to look for one. I don't want it just for anime, mind you. Lately I've been wanting to download some Season One episodes of 'Veronica Mars.' I did put the DVD set on my birthday list, but that's a ways away yet. *siiiiigh* If only I could mainline it straight to my brain, kinda like in the 'Matrix.'

Speaking of which, I told mom last night, on no uncertain terms, that we need to get home tonight before 9:00 for 'Veronica Mars.' I mean, I like the fact that it's on Tuesdays again and doesn't conflict with 'Lost,' but it does conflict with Bible Study. It'd be a lot easier if either of our VCR's had timers that worked, but no. That would be too easy, wouldn't it?

Sometime today, since I can't go anywhere due to my car being borrowed, I need to start packing up some of the stuff in my room that I accumulated during these few months we've been staying here. Plus, I want to burn some CD's of stuff so I can free up some space on my harddrive as well as have a backup of stuff for when we have to disconnect for the move. Tomorrow I have the orientation at the Temp Agency, and I don't know how long that will take.

Well, that's all for today! See you all tomorrow! *mutters* Man, I need to think of a better sign off...

I was having problems like you until I downloaded Bittornado and it really helped :)

*points up* Yeah. He pointed it out to me. I just hope I can figure out how to play them.

Right now I'm dl-ing a MST episode. It's taking awhile, though...

I use a program called "VideoLAN" to play all the stuff I download through torrents. I had to get it when I downloaded s-cry-ed because the episodes were in .OGM files, and that was the only program we could find to play it. Since then, I really like it a lot. ^_^ And it plays everything I throw at it, too!

I've been downloading Ouran High School Host Club, but I just got 35 episodes of Monster and all of Utena put on my laptop, so I can't download a lot more onto my laptop until I go home in a few weeks and can make data discs on our DVD burner ('cause the DVDs hold waaaaaay more stuff than CDs).

Hmmm, I'll look into that. I can't play the torrent I just downloaded. I mean, I hear the sound, but I don't see any picture.


Thanks!

Yeah! VideoLAN is like my best friend... except it's on the computer. XD

I think it's perfectly acceptable to have a best friend on a computer. Hell, it's acceptable to have a best friend as a computer...


Don't look at me like that...

Hello dearest cousin of mine.
Good luck on the orientation at the Temp Agency. I'll be thinking of you.

Easter was weird, wasn't it? I kept expecting Great Grandma to be there in her normal seat, with her tea glass in hand, asking if someone as to be so kind as to get her a refill...lol. I think those little things are going to be missed most. I miss her...Everyone misses her.
Gosh, and there are several more boxes of those photo albums. lol. All those pictures. lol.

Okay, well, good luck and I'll be thinking about you.
later then.
Brit

And a hello to you as well!Tahnk you. I appreciate it.

Yes, it was very strange. It will always seem a little strange for a long time. But, where she is now, I wouldn't want her to come back from no matter what.

I knowwwwww. That's what mom was saying the other day...

Later!!

Let me know if you need any more help with torrents. :) I can also point you to places to download VM without bittorrent if you're interested.
