Finally, finally, finally....
The funeral is over and done with, now we are waiting for 100 days and then we're bringing the ashes and scatter it in the sea (I think, maybe we're taking the boat out, maybe, nothing is set in stone yet.) And we are finally being left alone, for the most part, which is a good thing, because I had about all I can handle of running around and seeing so many people that had so many things to say, and none that I wanna hear.
I prefer being left alone and deal with our own mess than having people's noses in our business. If I need help, I'll ask for it. Now we are starting to find out how much of a mess my father had made. I think my mother would definitely drag him out to smack him around if she could.
Enough of that though, what ever gonna happen will happen. Nothing we can do about it but deal when the time comes.
Finally all my bookshelves were delivered today, and instead of calling me so I know they were coming, so I can take a look and see if they were all to my order, noooooooo... I found out when I got home that they didn't put the locks on for me. So, I'll have to call them over again to take care of that. This gonna suck, I just knew.
I moved some of my manga out to the shelves already, but I'm not sure if it was a good idea, after all, we have 3 small kids in the house, last thing I need is for one of them to start dragging my manga out. If it happened whoever babysit at the time is a dead meat.
Gina is back! And I'm very happy about that, I've been wondering what happen to her, but now she's back and sounds like she's doing well. I think I'm gonna get back to drawing and photo manip and stuff now, maybe that'll help me along in my writing too, since it's been rather slow lately.
But then with all the shit that's been going on, can you blame me?
Anyhow, tomorrow is another day and I got some cleaning to do, most of the manga and small paperbacks will be in the new shelves, probably gonna move little by little, besides I wanna know when they are coming to put in the locks, because I don't wanna risk it.

New thing to watch, sick friend
I'm watching Ugly Betty.
Well, it wasn't my intention to really watch this show, I normally don't watch these kind of show, because I like it better when someone dies in my show. LOL.
Thus, the Criminal Minds, CSI, Medium, Ghost Whisperer, Supernatural etc.
Like that's a surprise, right?
At least I'm starting to write, a little bit, which is really a good thing.
It's Chinese New Year today, and so far no one gives me red envelop yet. *sigh* I guess I'm getting nothing again this year.
Life just sink a little lower to another level. *sniff*
Anyhow, I've been dubbing Ugly Betty season 1 that I've tapped to my friend. She liked it, and now I'm watching season 2. Although, I do feel that if I watch a lot of episodes of something so close together, I'll get sick of it, and I won't finish it.
Which happened before.
Anyway.
I was chatting with a friend the other night, not my usual early morning time, just late at night (before midnight, let's say) And while I was chatting (with my bluetooth headset on) I go under my desk to tie up my wires and cables over again. I used the metallic blue twist tie (decorative ribbon, they said on the paper roll) And well, I just didn't like how it doesn't hold really tight (It would if I did it in the first place and not just do it after the fact) and so I took those out and just use the zip tie.
Someone asked why don't I use something that can be take out and put back again, like velcro. Really, people. How often do you think you gonna change the location of a modem? Power strip? Printer?
Velcro is considerably more expensive than zip tie, zip tie is cheap and quite strong, I can't justify the extra spending on something I probably never gonna change the location ever again. Or if I do, it'll be long, long while yet. So, what's a few ziptie.
I cut a few already, and probably gonna be another few more that gets cut. I bought all sizes, shortest, short, medium, long, overkilled? Maybe. LOL.
But it's useful.
Save me the clutter of all the tangled wires, and dust that collected there.
I told a friend that I'll do it for her, she said let her get settled first, and that was, what... almost six months now?
Well, she's sick, right now. First fever, now cold. She needs to get exercising some, it'll help. Speaking of working out. I should too. But I'm feeling like I'm getting a flu.. it's weird. But what else is new...
Really, really sleepy now.
Hey Cin!
Happy Chinese New Year.

Watching : ST : Voyager
I finally got the rubber cover grill thing (the kind they use to hang stuff in stores) And I had to cut it up to size (I thought they would have more sizes, but apparently they did not) My hands hurt from it, but it got it cut and I put the bricks and cords from both the HDD external on it and tied it up with zipties, just so I can get them off of the floor (easier to clean up) and I really don't want a nest of wire to clutter up around the HDD external (the drives were hot enough without anything around) it improves the air circulation immensely, which is what I wanted.
And after that I still got a piece big enough, so I brought it to the store. Originally, I had the DSL modem and the excess wires and cords in the drawer, which of course, doesn't have any air circulation at all. I couldn't leave the drawer open or someone will definitely trip on it. Not a very good thing, seeing how it'll probably be my mother.
So, I tied up the cords and modem onto the grill and then the power strip, and the LAN line, as well as the excess phoneline. All of them quite long, but it's better now and the modem won't get too hot anymore. I put up a 3M hook to hold the grill upright, it was a small hook, but since it doesn't have to hold up any weight, but simply hold it in place, I'm not really worry. The mess looks much, much better now, I think.
Now I'm thinking I should get one of those twist tie thing. Tomorrow I think.

Watching : Criminal Minds
I got my desktop back, finally, this time it was rather quick, and the first thing I did was to install my anti-virus and update it. :) I learned my lesson.
Ok, so I tied up and wrapped most of my wires. (there's still some clutter, but it was better now, now what I need is a couple of corkboards. Also got my wireless keyboard and mouse earlier today, if the old keyboard didn't die on me, I wouldn't have bought this new one, but it's time I guess, and this will save me the clutter. It's Logitec Cordless Desktop Ex 110. Next thing I wanna do is a charging station, so I'll have to get some 3rd party usb charger for Ipod and another one entirely for my ipaq. What I'll need.
1. box (plastic, maybe I'll make one from cardboard paper, or get one of those photobox thing)
2. USB chargers.
3. The rest I can find around my own room. (knife, papers, etc.)
Then I wanna just make a monitor stand, so I have a place to shove the keyboard into when I need the space to write. My desk is rather small, so I need all the space I can get. I got the idea from lifehacker.com to use a shelve and 4 pvc pipes since I couldn't find the monitor stand to fit my need. (too wide) Well, gotta do what we gotta do, right.
At least I organized my cords.
Got Harry Potter and The Deadly Hollow on Saturday morning, and well, I got to page 23 and no more because I have to do the driving duty and my friend is visiting, so I didn't touch the book yet.

Watching : Kidnapped
I'm sending my pc out to be fixed. (worm!! I got worm!!!) Life sucks, but not that bad since I just got my brand spanking new laptop, it's an Acer 4710G, so, I'll still get to play, even though my pc is out. This will give me the opportunity to take care of the clutter I have under my desk, though, easier to do when I don't have the cpu sitting there, 'cause I would be too engross in playing than cleaning up. :) I tend to leave things alone when things are plugged in already.
Got some ideas from lifehacker so I'll try a few and see if it will work out well.
My friend is visiting on Saturday, I'm quite happy about that since I haven't seen her much. And we got lots to talk about. The fact that I'm on the phone with her for hours not withstanding. We'll see how that goes, and I think 3M adhesive products will be my good friend, as well as the zipties. :)
