Ok.
I'm trying to not complain in public anymore. Espousing my woes hasn't ever really proven useful in any way other than to cause more woes, so I'm going for broadcasting solutions.
I got my Wii right when they came out cause I was up partying too late with Mitch and we knew they might have them at Target if we went. The line was short. I interviewed a few nerds about it and hopped in line my self. A few hours later I was the proud owner of a brand new 1st generation Wii.
We had a ton of fun with our Wiis since then but also since then it's started to make this horrible buzzing noise that makes me wanna smack a moose.
Apparently this is common amungst old Wiis. So much so that Nintendo isn't doing anything about them though they usually hook it up when your gear is broken.
So to find a solution I have turned to the interwebs. Here's a couple of short videos on how to disassemble the Wii and resolve the buzzing issue. If you have a mod chip lying around you can kill a few birds with one stone. I don't have a tiny lil screw driver yet, but I will grab one soon so I can get inside this thing. It's eyeglasses sized so I figure they're around to buy I just don't know where... lemme know if you know.
I digress. On to fixing this sic Wii.
Opening the Wii. Be careful. Bring a razorblade and a tiny screwdriver
Buzz Kill: Fixing the Wii. Turn one Screw, fixed!
I figured this is time well spent since (e:Terry) and TK are Smash Bros. aficionados and might be able to teach me some moves until these computer parts become a computer. #escapingStreetFighter.

That's funny. Yesterday I had a text from an unknown number asking me "if the jerseys had sewn on letters or iron on letters?". I should have answered it, I could have made a new friend.

All of the most interesting people I met on the internet was through randomness, you never know. Sometimes its fun to not have a friend in common.

InsomniaCategory: nerd
Uuggg....
I couldn't fall asleep last night so I watched a few episodes of Elfin Lied on netflix. Now I feel like a zombie. I'm downing B vitamins, drinking coffee, answering emails and writing this post till the caffeine kicks in and I can function like a human again.
Elfin Lied
Elfen has just gotten hilariously good after 8 episodes, but its at the point where I don't know where it's going to go next.
Seems that always happens to Anime...sigh. This one hooked me because of the Gustav Klimt intro. It's kinda vapid and bizzare, but isn't all good anime?
Here's the intro I was talking about. It has some "tastefully" bare cartoon boobs in it so be careful it may be NFW for you.

I need someone to share this weirdness with and you're already neck deep in the blood, limbs, and enormous eyeballs. Ill watch 11, 1/2 of 12. 13 is our luck #. The manga at borders is bountiful. I was tempted to grab a few.... I digress. As you were.

Pauls going to love this: The Enough AlreadyCategory: unnerd
This guy is so nerdy and squirrly that if (e:Paul) wasn't (e:pmt) already he'd prolly be in love

That is Pretty Amazing.... That being said this seems like it could have so many bad uses as opposed to good seems like a good way to sensor things.... I myself wouldn't use it why not just change the channel .... But more importantly what if say you hate those Kardashians but love looking at them and who wouldn't now what if they aren't talking about her but use her as an example. I perfect example is this say this video was playing on your TV as soon as he said that you would lose 30 seconds of what he was saying......

You are correct and that looks so fun. I just wish I had more time. I am fascinated that \n's can be written with single or double quotes around them.

I love tiny screwdrivers. My favorite are the torx ones. I often wonder why everything doesn't use that kind. Those screws are so easy to open.
