Another week over.  Last night was a full moon on Friday the 13th.  Won't happen for another 35 years.  I hope I'm alive to see it!  It's pretty neat.  I feel like there were a few other rare events that happened in my lifetime which not many people will experience

What a week.  The weather has been so gorgeous all day.  Work is kind of lame, but Mik has been alright.  He goes through these phases of being a total jerk and then he will be really dorky and stupid and funny for about two weeks before he blows his top again.  I can never feel comfortable around him.  He just intimidates me, because he is so mean.
Tonight I made quesadillas!  I tried to recreate this recipe that Marika prepared them about two weeks ago when her sister came to visit from Hungary.  They were so good.  So I took note, and just kind of winged it.  They actually turned out delicious.  I got the tortillas nice and crispy, which was the main thing I was worried about.  Orange peppers are my fav.  I use them in place of red peppers most of the time.
Aight, bed time.

I feel so stupid.  I hate teenagers.

Ok, I'm getting somewhere at Bioshock Infinite again, finally.  I really like this game.  It's so creepy and feels so neat to explore, like the first two Bioshocks.  Sooo happy about that.  I did have to do a bit more surgery on my PC, but I finally fixed the spinning down hard drive problem.  I was really surprised that I wasn't about to find any information about this issue I've been having online.  I'm wondering now if I plug my old graphics card back in, will it work?  I don't want to risk anything, and the new card is running really well.  Haven't noticed any dropped frame rates during fight scenes or anything.  I'm really happy with it.  I'll just keep this one going and see what happens.

New graphics card installed!  It was a pretty messy installation, as I expected.  A few system crashes later, I seem to have it all sorted without any issues.  Updated drivers, and now for the testing phase.  I just played Oblivion for a good, straight 15 minutes without any crashes.  That's not enough to say that I fixed it yet, but I'm going to try out Bioshock Infinite.  I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope it doesn't crash.  If it doesn't, that means two things:
1.  My old card was indeed dying and this new one fixed the problem.
2.  I can finish playing these games!!!

Let's just hope it's all going to work out.

Edit:  IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!  I am so relieved.  I just played over an hour of BI straight without any crashes.  I think my frame rate dropped just a tiny bit, but it's still very very smooth.  DDR5 memory has more "bandwidth" than DDR3, I learned, so even if it's 2gb versus 1, the performance isn't as strong as the DDR5.  Oh well.  It didn't matter much, because with my old card, I couldn't play anything either way.  I'm so happy.

I had a really crappy day at work, but I feel a lot better now that I fixed this problem.

 This is the first day in over a month I'm actually taking a break from work!  I can't believe it.  Here I am, sitting in my living room, eating.  I'm so glad we finally hired somebody competent.  It feels like summer again.  I just have that feeling in the pit of my stomach.  Every season has its own feeling.. its own soul.  I'm so excited to start my class next week.  Hopefully I'm going to learn all the programs necessary to get a job as an accountant somewhere.  As of right now, I don't mind my job, and the pay is pretty good.  I just really want to move onto something else, and have transferable skills.
I hope my graphics card comes today.  I'm doubling my video memory,  but degrading from DDR5 to DDR3, so we will see how it works out.  I really like my current graphics card, and I really wish I could just get it to keep working.  I guess I just couldn't believe it's already 5 years old.  I feel like building my PC was just a year or two ago.  This thing has travelled the world with me though, so I definitely need to give 'er a tuneup every now and then.
