A random, random thought I had while driving to work this morning. Fact 1: I am a Sleeping Beauty fan. Fact 2: I am a fan of bad puns (ref: Sakura Taisen). If I have a daughter, I could name her Rose. Middle name: Aurora. Thus: Rose A. Lee = Rosalie. Combining Disney names and ending up with a new, perfectly normal name. Thinking further, I tried the opposite direction (using normal names to get...

Hmm. So sometime during the trip to AX, my computer at home died. Kinda makes updating LJ difficult :P Not sure if it's totally dead, or if I can get away with replacing the power supply, or moving the HD to a different computer, etc. It's been nine years; I *guess* I could get a new computer... Anyway, quick re-cap before I go into the long boring detailed version (at some later date) [EDITED to...

Sunday So we started the morning again at Hobee's. Still a great place for breakfast, still a hueg coffeecake. So Hung's sister wanted to hit the con for a cosplay gathering (ToS I think). And I wanted to catch Reuben's panel; I'd already missed the second Waltz lesson, but I could always do with another Swing lesson. I'm terrible at Swing. Seriously. Throw in the Two-Step lesson (and brace for...

Saturday Saturday started relatively early. pockyman came up to the living room (where I was crashing) around 8:30; by the time the others were awake, we had pretty well established a SakuTai bond. We went out for breakfast at Hobee's, a fantastic cafe style restaurant right next door to the bad Denny's. The coffeecake is both HUEG and delicio.us. After that, Hung took chasiewbao...

Friday I took the whole day off in prep for the con, but since I ended up not getting put into a department, I just went as an attendee. Since the major reason for me going was to a) dance, and b) meet with friends, it wasn't a big deal (well... later it might have been a big deal, but that's later innit :P). I futzed around for a while, checking out the various rooms. Entered Artist Alley since...

My LiveJournal Friends If you wanna do it yourself, here's the link.

So I took my laptop into the Genius Bar today and the guy there basically told me what I already suspected: it's likely a problem with the logic board on my PowerBook. Since I really kind of needed this computer as a secondary, and I'm not quite ready to buy a new MacBook Pro yet, I'm going to get it repaired. But first, I have to backup the data from it. But since the computer isn't working I have...
