WTF?
Feb 15th, 2009 by Babs

<div class=\"pavatar\">WTF?</div>

Okay. If you read my last post you’ll recall I mentioned that I couldn’t watch “That ’70s Show” because it wouldn’t play on my computer. Well I had a similar problem today with another disk. The disk was recognized (unlike the other disk, which kept giving me a no disk in drive D error) but still wouldn’t play.

Anyway, I was busy moving stuff around my room when I came across the DVD/CD RW drive that Dell had sent me back when I first acquired this piece of crap and was having trouble with the drive. Long story short: I wasted three weeks swapping out drives, backing up my computer, and reinstalling the OS  when the problem was the frickin’ Roxio software Dell installed on it. I figured after all that they owed me, and I never returned the third drive.

So for shits and grins I decided to swap the drives. I don’t know what the problem is with the old drive, as 90% of the stuff I use it for works fine (I spent the last week ripping CDs and Simming with no issues), but the previously troublesome disks are playing problem-free, now. *headdesk*

This morning’s post is being brought to you by the following search terms: sex babs,  babs,  www.babspote.com,  “my beauty bars”,  bab’s.

I should be in bed, sleeping, right now but you-know-who is snoring louder than a mufflerless engine and is keeping me awake. 😛

I got my taxes filed. I highly recommend H&R Block’s online tax filing. This year they’ve added free preparation and filing of Federal taxes to their offerings. It doesn’t have the bells and whistles that “Basic” has, and you still have to cough up the $30 to file State, but it did save me $19.95 $14.95 (or $12.95 if you were to upgrade to it from free). As usual, Glenn thinks we are getting $1000 less than we actually are. This keeps him from spending it all on shit we don’t really need.

After filing the taxes I tried to play the current disk we have of “That ’70s Show” but, like the last three disks of that series, it won’t play on my computer. So I ended up on Netflix, watching old school Knight Rider and listening to the boys talk trash about KITT. I’m sorry, but the new Knight Rider is nothing but an hour long commerical for Ford, the new KITT has the personality of a rock (Val Kilmer’s got nothing on Willaim Daniels) and there is very little, if any, bond between him and Michael. May it run its 13 eps and then die a painful death.

While watching Knight Rider I managed to get some knitting and crocheting done. I finally used up the last of the scraps in the rug I’m knitting, so that’s been set aside until I acquire more. Then I got a few more rows done on the afghan I’m working on for the livingroom. It’ll look really nice once we get new cushions for the sofa. I don’t know if I mentioned this in an earlier post, but I found a really cute (and easy) pattern for a “pleated” school girl skirt. As soon as I can find a nice yarn I plan on making it up. *crosses fingers I’ll have it done for Spring*

Both of the kitties are lying on my side of the bed, washing themselves. As funny as it is to watch I’m going to have to cut their bathtime short. I’m really tired.
