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 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...
