The online computery journal thingy of a turtle

Sheesh, I can't even back up files! I tried using Nero. I got to the point where I'm sposta put in the CD-R. I do that. Nothing happens. Nothing keeps happening. I dunno if it's broken or if I did something wrong or WHAT. (Don't bother trying to give me tech support advice right now; I just want sympathy.)

youngvanwinkle has been trying to help me via IRC. Nothing we've tried so far has worked.

Plan B will be to do a clean reinstall of Windows. If that doesn't work, plan C will be for me to buy a whole new computer. I'm willing to do that. And getting MORE AND MORE WILLING WITH EACH PASSING MINUTE.

(Also, lookit my new icon!)

Oh, and I had an idea for a cartoon today, but since my scanner's not working, I'll do it in text form á la shockwave77598's "Three Stories" series:


[KT is sitting and watching a DVD. Sefo is working a crossword puzzle.]
SEFO: Hey, KT? "Lost in Translation" actress, nine letters?

[KT picks up a DVD box and looks at it.]
KT: Ooo, me have the DVD right heer! Lessee... Scarlett Johansson!

[Sefo fills the name in.]
SEFO: J-O-H-A-N-S-S-... hmm, is that with O-N or E-N?

KT: (thinking to himself) Owen or Ian?

KT: Neither! Bill Murray.

Almost time for Doctor Who on the Sci-Fi Channel. I'll be on IRC when it's over, at 9:00 CST.
