That's IT. No more Hotmail. Or Vista.

When I get to the house later, I'm going to find every website I still frequent that lists my e-mail address as the Hotmail one, switch it over to Gmail, and delete the Hotmail account. For something that's supposed to learn from experience, it's surprisingly stupid. No more junk mail. I get more junk mail delivered to my inbox every morning than Gmail gets delivered to its inbox in a month. Gmail actually catches the vast majority of the junk.

Anyway... -_-

Mom's stuff is still here, so she's coming home first before heading up to PA. I'm hoping she'll be tired and call to say she's napping before she goes. Then she'll probably wait for me. XD; I don't want to deal with the commute today. It just hit me it's going to be raining all day, and the ground is already saturated... and there's a stretch of Route 17 that floods when it rains. There's a slight chance I'll get an intelligent driver (and by that I mean someone who will take a detour and skip 17), but it's not very likely. I like going up with Mom. She knows all the little routes we can take and she takes them. Plus, I get food whenever I want, hee.

I think I'm gonna have to downgrade to Windows XP. Vista's pretty, but it has issues. I can't print because the driver is having issues, the driver for the tablet randomly goes missing, the software for the ZVM messes up in places, and Vista has this piss poor substitute for Word (a free version, I guess?) that does NOT listen to what I tell it to do and insists on saving to WPS format, even when I tell it to save as a DOC. And it has issues with my emulators. Dad said a lot of manufacturers aren't supporting Vista yet. It's not helping me if the things I use the most aren't going to function properly. I'm going to end up buying a copy of XP. Have to ask Dad about it when I get up there. He was trying to have both versions on his computer (he has Vista and wants to get rid of it too, but like me, he likes certain aspects of it), XP on a master drive and Vista on a slave, but he screwed up. He said something about having no internet, and some other things... he put the Media Center version of XP on when that computer's not equipped for it. 9_9;

I'll lose my Freecell stats, though. I've won nearly 300 games in a row. This version of Freecell is way better than the XP version because you can undo as many moves as you want, so if you want to start over without losing your game, you can. It's just an executable file, so I'll see if I can copy it over to XP. Inkball, too. I have a feeling Inkball won't work, though. ^^;;

Haha, I love Google.

I was just looking for info on running a PC with a dual boot of XP and Vista, and the best answers I could find are on Experts Exchange, who want you to sign up to see their answers, but I totally bypassed it with Google's cache of the page. Wahaha. Eat that, chumps.

No boss today. I'm going to work with my drawing. Still need to get the pics drawn for my pixel fighter and start on the request for ~GothicKitta. (I did mention I'm only doing one pic for her, right? When I told her, she requested the one I was hoping she would, of Kitty in a dress. She sent me a pic of what the dress looks like, I just have to make it white. I'm not familiar with drawing dresses, and folds absolutely kill me, so it'll be good practice.)

I doodled something last night of some guy who looks suspiciously like Kaine, so I'm going to tweak it a bit, probably add Xae to it. I've been meaning to do a pic of the two of them.

I'm feeling good about today. I don't know if no boss has got me in such a good mood, or the fact that it's Friday, or the fact that I actually feel like drawing again...

Dona's been reading The Stupidest Angel by Christopher Moore. She keeps stopping me while I walk past and saying "Don't you ever give me another book by this man again! This guy is crazy!" with this huge grin on her face. I told her. She's giving it to Maureen next. XD And if I can remember to bring it home from PA, I might let her read Lamb. That's a LOL book. Once I'm done with Rincewind's series of Discworld books (because I've already got it in my head that I can't possibly read the books in other now that I've fallen for Rincewind's character), maybe I'll read it again. I'll skip the stuff in Asia though, because the book did get kinda slow there. ^^;

Cry. ;_;

I found a Discworld graphic novel. Graphic novella? Whatever, everyone says the story's very short. ^_^; But the artwork is awesome. Rincewind pretty much looks the way I pictured him. (Apparently, he looks younger than many people see him. They see him as an old guy. Don't understand that. Someone that active just can't be that old in my mind. Apart from Cohen. But he's a warrior, not a wizard.) And evil Borders didn't update their inventory before I reserved it, and they e-mailed me a while ago to say they don't actually have it in stock. (Bastards.) I'm looking around on Google for scans, and there are torrents, but I can't get into those until I get to PA. Wah. XD; Oh well. I'm leaving early today anyway. I'm about to go grab something to eat, and I think I might go at 1:30. Hopefully the trains will be okay. It's only a 15-minute trip from here to Port Authority, but it's not rush hour, either.

No fair, damnit. XD I wish I'd seen this last night before I died and went to bed... I could've downloaded it then. I'll end up buying it anyway. Reading a book on the computer does not compare to reading straight off the page. I should probably wait to get it since I have another three books to read before it, but the art... I like Paul Kidby's art.

XDDDD

What is Vader Love? and Harry Potter: What is Love?

Don't kill me, please? XDDD
