Struggling to breathe

Mon Apr 27, 2009, 12:31 PM
  • Mood: Daily Needs
  • Listening to: My TV? '_';
  • Reading: One Piece, AirGear, Tenjou Tenge, Rave Master
  • Watching: One Piece, Air Gear
  • Playing: ...Lotsa games.... WoW, Disgaea 3, etc...
  • Eating: Your mom
  • Drinking: Your mom
Bet y'thought that was the title of some sorta depressed, emo journal, thing, didn't ya? nah... not really. Oh sure, I could go into my crappy housing and job situation, how everyone's decided to seperate at a time when only one of us has a job, forcing us to have a 3 month time limit to either find a new job, or, in my case, find a room mate who can handle $250-300 a month from me (using unemployment) but I won't

Actually, the title refers to the fact that I haven't been breathing correctly since last wedensday. At first I thought it was ust allergie, so I was doing my daily thing.. then I ended up near bedridden friday and thought "hey! I betcha I'm sick!" I've been slowly recovering from it since then, and am now just down to having trouble breathing if I move too much. so I have just enough in me for trips to the convenience store.... Y'know... I had to postpone a house-cleaning job 'till this weekend 'cause I was sick >:/ I wanted ta get the thing outta my way too ;_;

So let's see... what else.... ah! I bought a laptop offa cragslist for $300 ^^
-160GB HD (94 with programs from previous people installed)
-2 GB RAM
-2 hour battery charge (seems short, but... meh.)
-Windows vista
-Only a few months old

I love the thing ^^ works a lot more quickly than this one ^^ (then again, this one has close to 400GB of space taken up on it) if I were to make a list of pros and cons... well..

Pros
-Can finally watch .mkv files (this computer is 8 years old, and the only video format I can't watch is mkv)
-Can vector my pics faster (I noticed this while I was sick over the weekend... it was nice doing it from my bed ^^)
-Can play videos directly from my external without having to transfer 'em
-Taking it out will be a big plus!

Cons
-Still figuring out how I can use my tablet while not sitting at my PC... I may just avoid using it at the house.
-Can't scan artwork directly (scanner is actually as old as my computer, if not older O_o; )
-Vista keeps asking me to scan my flash/external drive whenever I change a file or folder on it
-can be difficult to figure out colors if you aren't looking at the right angle.

My current computer still has many uses. it's gonna remain my main download/storage computer, in addition to my main coloring one, since, as I pointed out, It can be tough to figure out the colors on my new one's screen.

now..... I need to grab me a meal.... and... uh.. maybe CG or something

Does seem emo to me usually I have people make attempts on cutting themselves saying their life is miserable and no one can pull them out of the enternal darkness they purge in.

Saying it is hopeless to talk them out of it and trying to commit suicide.

That I find emo.

It is the time of the year...allergy season.
I usually take meds to help me out.

A laptop huh? We have one but not taken out of the box yet....since my folks making sure it is alright to use the new laptop.

Also get well soon. Not fun being ill all the time.^^

Sorry to hear about the respiratory issue! I've had bouts of asthma/allergies/wtf myself, so i know how that is...

If you're using PS for colors, I've heard (but not tried) that a layer filled with white and set to "color" can be helpful for telling if your color balances are working out, esp with funky laptop screens. Hopefully that's helpful to you; get well soon!

Sign your work, people!
Yes, I draw huge, unreal boobs and such, but I'm a real artist, and a person to boot. So I will talk about your art like a professional whether you like it or not.

I also am sorry to hear that you are sick, but am glad that you got a good deal on your laptop^^. I hope everything works out for you :huh:.

eh. I don't get the voices in my head, but I tend to see things that aren't there. the bi-polar thing runs in my family as well, but, since the meds I take for epilepsy are also used as mood elevators, I'll never know if I'm actually bi polar or not
