I hate connection trouble... I'm not even sure what happened. The "Start AOL Dialer" option simply wasn't there.
This was at 4pm, some hours ago. After much pain and trying lots of things (system restores, reinstalls, searching the hard drives, a LOT of restarting the computer), finally got everything working again about ten, fifteen minutes ago. Only remaining annoyance is that AOL Uninstaller won't let me re-uninstall AOL 9.0 VR. |

XP Installed XP Service Pack 3 and tried to install Japanese Encoding. The good news is that my computer had stopped asking me for the CD for Service Pack 2... the bad news is that it got halfway through and then asked me for the CD for "Windows XP Home Edition". Which, naturally, I don't have the CD for either. And at least one site I've been to has said that without the CD, the Encoding cannot be installed, which is bloody aggravating. the really annoying part is that a few days ago, IE7 did understand Japanese characters... for about a day, before this new-found ability vanished as mysteriously as it appeared. I have no idea how it did that or how to replicate the effect. Aarrgh. EDIT: Incedentially, yes I've been to see Iron Man (last Saturday, actually) and yes, it is very awesome. Current Mood: frustrated |

I need to stop buying things on E-bay... I've managed to pretty much drain my bank account over the last few weeks. Fortunately I should be able to stick some more cash in there before any more bills are due, but seeing the statement was a bit of a shock. Honestly hadn't realised how much I'd spent. Whoops... |

Argh... Today has definately turned out to be one of those days. First I lose £10 somwhere between the Post Office and Sainsbury's, now I find out that nearly £40 has somehow lost it's way in the post after I sent it to someone on E-bay. Current Mood: annoyed |

I knew it well Pouring it down 'round here. Spent over half an hour in the rain, with my umbrella being torn apart by the costal winds. Had to bin it, but I can alwys get a new one. Pity, though. I liked that umbrella... |

Phew. Had a USB scare late this morning. Thought they'd finally died on me, but my connection is working now. Maybe the poor things needed a rest. |

"It will all be mine, power so divine..." Huh. Looks like a few computer people snuck into the HLJ office, which means I've been able to cancel a few things off my order and regroup. If my maths is right, the remainder comes to about £65, not counting shipping. Don't you just love X-mas money? ^_^ |

Just ordered both versions of the "Code Lyoko ft Subdigitals" CD off eBay. The US version is coming from Maryland and the French version from China. About £13.40 total.
Also recieved a "SFX Presents Sound FX" CD I ordered a few days ago and placed a bid for the item I mentioned in the previous post. Though it's been going for silly money, especially for a pre-order freebie, so I ain't hopeful. |

Just got an email... from Dad! He's home and has invited me over... so he must be ok if the Doctors let him go (no NHS jokes please, I couldn't take them right now). Scared me half to death for a while there, but it looks like the emergency's over. Current Mood: relieved |

Just had an email from Michelle. Apparently the "chest infection" has been rediagnosed as "Most likely another stroke and gallstones".
Doesn't sound like it was a serious stroke from the email, but "another stroke" is still far from my favourite news. :(
ETA: Just noticed what I wrote last week. What did I do to the universe? |

New Shopping Centre No further news on Dad...
Folkestones New Shopping Centre opened up today. One of the stores is a HMV, which gives me an extra source of CD's and box-sets. Some of the prices are cheap, some aren't (£16 for the Simpsons Movie CD?). I'll see how it goes. |

Aura? Well, Dad's going to be in hospital for the week while the Doctor's keep an eye on him. Sounds like he's going to be ok, though.
On a happier note, [lj-user=karnimani1990] revealed on Serebii.net that in an upcoming Japanese episode of Pokemon, a Spiritomb attacks Ash because it mistakes him for the Aura Guardian that sealed it long ago...
I have never been closer to Squeeing in my life.
If said Aura Guardian turns out, as I suspect, to be Aaron, then 1) Movie 8 becomes series canon and 2) Bubapedia might as well start writing the "Ash's Riolu" page now.
Wonder if Gen/Reily will have a Pikachu? |

Ah, bugger... Just found out that Dad's in hospital with a chest infection. Doesn't sound like it's too serious, but still not exactly the best news. Could be worse... at least it's not another stroke. |

Finally got my bank account verified for Paypal use and the first £20 is on it's way. So in just over a week and a half, I'll be able to do some spending.
Meanwhile, got bored training with Riley, so got the Riolu egg off him and went to go beat up Volkner. Tried to do it with just Koli (my Luxray), but even with a LOT of Moo Moo milk I was a few levels behind everyone, which put me on the back foot a bit. Fortunatly being a Stage-2 does wonders against a bunch of Basics and Stage-1's, evening the field somewhat. Ended up using Mukky (my Starraptor) to finish of a Raichu (which kept using Dig) by using Fly; Hiko (my Infernape) took care of a random Steelix and Volkners Ambipom, the latter mostly for kicks. |
