This blog mostly contains my latest escapades in the Pokémon fandom. Be it related to the games, the anime, my collection, or PC itself, this blog should have it. I assume this will mostly be filled with collection updates, since that's my main interest in the fandom, but we shall see. Thanks for reading!

If you're interested in my gaming habits outside of Pokémon, you might be interested in my Gamespot blog, perhaps. If you want my day-to-day ramblings, check out my Livejournal. The latter may have questionable content or not-quite-PG ratings, so use discretion. :P

Maybe next year will be better

So... the one year my "anniversary" was actually on a weekend--implying I could be at PC all day--and I pretty much missed it. ;_;

Last month I bought an upgrade to Windows and went ahead and upgraded to Vista Ultimate. I was still high on my painkillers at the time, so I attributed the fact that the product key wasn't working to the idea that I was just entering it wrong every single time. XD So I opted to activate Windows later and went on my way.

So a month later--yesterday--it expired and Windows wouldn't let me do anything but use Firefox until I activated my copy. So I tried again and... invalid product key. With a little research and link-clicking on Microsoft's site, it looks like I ended up with a product key for Windows Server 2008. How did this happen? @[email protected];

Long story short, I had to either put up with only being able to use Firefox until this whole thing was resolved and I got my proper key or reformat and go back to Home Premium and wait it out. So I reformatted. :( Luckily I didn't lose TOO much since I'd just done this to reinstall Windows last month but it still took the better part of a day and it'll be a week before I can get everything back to "normal."

Resultantly, instead of spending most of the day browsing and posting on PC like I wanted to, I ended up spending like 20 minutes on it instead. Oh well. At least it was only sort of my anniversary. :(

    What? D: Vista is awesome, I love it so hard.

    It's just... Microsoft's distributors need to be more careful. <_<;

    Just buy a Mac and be done with it...They are lightyears beyond PC's, and can run windows as well. ^__^

    But I hate Macs and I couldn't deal with OSX's lack of a halfway decent WLM client. XD;

    Not to mention I don't have the money for even the cheapest line of Macs. :[ Too overpriced.
