  • Windows XP Update Made my Internet Connection Stop Working

    Just an hour ago, I accepted the newest Windows XP system updates… I normally check what to update. I even checked once if I could get rid off Internet Explorer, but no luck there. Anyway, I accepted the update, and it downloaded fine, and it got installed~~

    I restarted the system, and since I thought everything was fine. A minute later, I opened my torrents to continue download, and I went to watch the rest of the episodes of Wonderfalls on DVD. I finished watching one of the episodes, when I checked up on the download speeds only to find out they were all RED. Nothing was downloading, so I thought that maybe it was something with the torrent client, so I  tried login on my Messenger account, but it didn’t work either. SO, I opened any site on Firefox, which didn’t work either!

    I couldn’t think of anything else that would make my internet stop working right after the restart, so I did a system restore to yesterday’s date. And now it works again. So I’ve decided to cancel the updates that the system is prompting once again…

    Did anyone else have the problem? O_o

    I really REALLY don’t know how this Emmy stuff works, but DUDE! Marcia Cross name is in the list!

    Marcia Cross (might be) up in the Top 10 Semifinalist that’s out an about online. MY Marcia (lol) is up in there against some tough competition~~~ including:

    • Anna Friel (Pushing Daisies)
    • Julia Louis-Dreyfus (New Adventures of Old Christine)

  • Viewers Against Only-Dubbed Films!

    I am NOT against dubbing… I have read that some people with viewing difficulties prefer watching dubbed films, and I respect that. This is why I’m titling this “Only-Dubbed,” I don’t have a problem with dubbing a movie, but what bothers me is not having the option of watching the subtitled version of it.

    Case and point, (more…)

  • Hotlinking and problems

    I have enabled Hotlinking protection. People, I don’t have a problem if you post my edited images, photos and stuff and credit me. I do, however, have a problem with you posting my image from MY server [HOTLINKER], unless it’s on Flickr.

    So dear Hotlinker, please save my image and upload somewhere else, coz it’s pissing me off.

    My enabling hotlinking has screwed up with the following posts and image galleries…

    Yu Aoi
    Last Friends

    Apparently Postcardviewer [and other related gallery scripts], and FlashNifties have issues with HotLinking. So sucky.

    *EDIT*
    Just checked “Allow direct requests (ie. entering the URL to an image in your browser)” – so galleries might be working… not sure if Hotlinking works with that option checked though~~

    Once again… don’t Hotlink. Please.

  • Oh, Canada!

    *EDIT*
    Added a new Page (check up in the menu for my “Favorites” section)

  • Over a Month Worth of Music

    It’s been like a month and a half since I last blogged about the music I’ve been listening. Of course I’m totally loving my Salyu albums since last post, and have been digging my Japanese trend these past few weeks… you wouldn’t believe. Everything Asian… le sigh. xD Including a lot of Asian films, therefore a lot of Asian Soundtrack additions because Amy loves her some soundtrack music.

    Concert begins at 7pm-12 Reykjavik, Iceland GMT time… meaning GMT -5 in Peru Time, 2pm

  • Turtles Swim Faster than Expected

    Best title for like EVER. LOL’

    The film was a little TOO bizarre for me, but it does get some very funny moments, and I couldn’t help but post a collage of capture of the first half of the film with Yu Aoi with an electrical perm, Juri Ueno with her perm, and funny faces and expressions, including Azuki Panda-chan~~ and the “hue hue hue hue hue” laugh, and “puan~” moments.
