Ugh

( Aug. 9th, 2009 08:19 pm)
I just had to open two conflicht solution procedures on PayPal.
Both my bento box and my pair of lolita shoes didn't arrive even though I ordered them about five weeks ago.
Let's see what their famous buyer protection can actually do.
At this moment, I'd rather get my money back than have the stuf re-sent because I have a trip coming up and the weekend when I'd have needed the shoes is over anyway.
Meh :|

HowStuffWorks.com has a category of neat quizzes. Needless to say, I had a lot of fun with the ones about computers.
Two screenshots because I thought they were funny and interesting:



Doctor Who fans are EVERYWHERE ;)



Educated guesses *lol* I couldn't have said it any better. Or, as [profile] yamasagi famously put it while talking about a camera that had 3 mega pixels which it pseudo-increased to 12:
"Three of four pixels are COMPLETELY MADE UP" *rofl*


My old display was sold for 61€ (about $82) which is more than even my most optimistic expectations. Wow :D
So, there might be another trip South happening in the not-too-distant future. Also... Nah, not gonna tell you that yet since I don't wanna jinx it ;)

Finally, a huge thanks to [personal profile] hector_rashbaum for the Deamwidth invite <3 I really wanted to check out this new journaling site, mainly to see what they're doing differently (or maybe better?) than good ol' ElJay. Right now, I'm crossposting to DW via Semagic, which works just as well as it did with JF and IJ. I'll keep you updated on what I think of DW, though I don't think I'll completely switch over any time soon...
What do you guys thing of these?

When Is howed those to [livejournal.com profile] yamasagi, the conversation went something like this:

[livejournal.com profile] yamasagi: "OMG... How much is one of these?"
[livejournal.com profile] jessybxx: "The complete set of four is 7.45€ $10)."
[livejournal.com profile] yamasagi: "What about shipping?"
[livejournal.com profile] jessybxx: "It's free."
[livejournal.com profile] yamasagi: "Buy them... NOW."
[livejournal.com profile] jessybxx: "... Okay!"

I'll be sure to take a photo or two once the lil' guys have arrived :x

Let's see... today's happeh is...

- Prepared some things to sell on eBay. Let's see how it goes when the auctions actually start (tomorrow evening).

- Watched more Dekaranger. It's getting more interesting the more members join the S.P.D. Also, I simply adore the ultra-cool big band style ED (it's called "Midnight Dekaranger", sung by the amazing SASAKI Isao-sama) <3

- Created my first Twibe - Super_Sentai!
Today, eBay sent me a bill amounting to a whopping 0 Euros.
Uh... WTF, people?!

Apparently, the milk carton I opened last night wasn't leakproof. Either that or I damaged it somehow.
Anyway. When I opened the fridge today, about a third of it was flooded -_-
I'm just glad I didn't have to throw away that much, we're already tight on the money because of the new washer-drier (which rules, but was damn expensive) T_T
Also, I know [livejournal.com profile] yamasagi won't be angry at me, looking at the frozen veggies stunt he pulled recently. THAT one could have possibly tunred out really dangerous to both the kittehs and us XD
Gotta look out for him more... and vice versa, I suppose ^_^;;;

However, I have cherry coke and my new, fluffy Haruhi slippers to comfort me, not to mention the other anime goods I got from eBay yesterday ^_^

Graphics tablet ended at 72 Euros. Nice :D
I told everyone who asked (and there were a few questions on that subject) that of course I can't guarantee that it'll really work since I don't have a functional pen to test it with. However, judging from the eraser, which is still recognized, I doubt it's the tablet that's broken.
So, clear consciousness here :P

The graphics card and two Blu-ray discs ("Surf's Up" and "The Pursuit of Happyness" - They came free with the player and we really don't care about them) I sold for [livejournal.com profile] yamasagi also finished at reasonable prices. Neat :D

Currently trying to force the NAS (A QNAP TS20-something which is handling all our Bittorrent downloads) to cooperate even through the semi-broken WLAN connection. Nrrrrgggghhhhh ~_~

Kai is sick. The poor thing caught a flu, which is quite unfortunate since he has to act at the theater six days a week and generally doesn't do the kind of job that allows you to reduce talking ;_;
So, I'm trying my damndest to cheer him up. Luckily, I seem to be able to make him laugh once in a while.
Still, I'd rather be there for him... :|

Things on eBay are still going well. Just two more hours and we'l know how much more moolah will be on my bank account when I'm in Munich =)

Be careful with the "Del" key, people.
I just erased about 4,2 GB of Daily Show and Colbert Report. Gotta re-download all of that now. EPIC FAIL =_=

Put my graphics tablet with the non-workig pen up on eBay. It's already at 15.50 Euros and has about a million people watching.
I explained in the description that whoever wins the auction will have to get a supplementary pen before they can use it. And yet, everyone seems to be leaping at it like Jiro and Tenchi at our freshly roasted chicken ;)
Whatev. Who cares, I just hope they know what they do. And even if they don't, it's not like I'm hiding anything from them or trying to rip them off. So, not my fault. Also, it's not like I can't use the money ^^

Currently reviving some childhood TV memories (see icon) and having the time of my life ^_^
I might write a bit more MMPR-related stuff later, provided I still feel like it tomorrow...

The opening night went well. Kai told me he actually got quite a bit of praise for his (small-ish) role. I'm so glad and proud :D

Put up some more stuff on eBay. Looking good so far!
Yes, it's possible.
One.
Two.
Three.
See? Crazy O_o
Also, even if they fall apart after a few months, I only paid 16 Euros for all of them, S&H included.
I said it before, and I'll say it again - eBay FTW!

[livejournal.com profile] yamasagi and me just ordered our tickets for this year's AnimagiC. They're 75 Euros per person for the all-in version which will hopefully be bursting with gimmicks anbd surprises.
The online thing went really well. Glad AnimaniA finally caught up with modern technology :*
We ordered our con packets just two minutes apart from each other, and yet there was a gap of about 70 people on our ordering numbers. So, I kinda expect the event to be sold out really soon O.o
I'm actually amazed the site is still working...!

Got mah new shoes (they're from the UK and still surprisingly pricey) in the mail. It's those. Gorgeous, I tell ya, hope I'll be able to actually walk in them *lol*
Still waiting to get this, though. Couldn't resist, despite it being hardly cheaper than buying from amazon. I'm so bad ^_^;;;

Today marks the one-year anniversary of Kai and me first meeting on Nico's message board.
What a crazy 365 days it has been... *sigh*

... and I still want to buy their entire range of clothes. Well, at least two third of it. ARGH.

ETA: A short bit from one of the crime audio books Kai did in 2008:



Despite the bad quality (Jesus fuck, whoever encoded this must be deaf - There couldn't possibly be any other excuse for THIS >_<)...
Guuuuuhhhh... That man is too talented to be real... *fans self*

YouTube took down my Earthworm Jim video. Copyright claim. Of course, [livejournal.com profile] yamasagi, who'd rather have me not doing anything on the 'net in case he gets caught in any trouble I might stir up, is worried that we might end up in prison next week. Heh. If everyone who ever uploaded copyrighted material would be arrested, this planet would be pretty empty now...

Piece of good news: Won cat ears and a tail on eBay. Yay, I'll be a nekomimi soon =^.^=

Today, I obtained about 40 Euros from eBay (the dye and some other things).
Corset, here I come ^_^
Next week, I'm gonna sell my soon-to-be ex camera (Kodak C813). I hope it'll yield enough profit for me to finally order those goddamned boots ;)

I also discovered a seller from the UK who offers a bunch of accessories at very nice prices. Might grab a few things there as well since shipping from Ye Olde England shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Finally, a general observation of sorts:
Apparently, clothes-wise, Germany is very hostile territory for not-so-skinny gothic ladies like me. Well, fuck you, I'll just get my stuff from anywhere else instead ;P

Oh! Oh! Today was the first time someone told me he was envious of my being friends with Kai. Wow, that was unexpected indeed ;)

I guess I will buy one of those corsets after all. I mean, they're... guuuuhhhhhh *thud*
One of the sellers I'm currently considering is called happygirl_corset. As a LOLcat addict, this kinda reads like happytail to me *rofl*
There is also one called - and I swear I'm not making this up - mini_whale_corset. Er... that's not very polite, is it? I mean, I'm not skinny, but I'm still quite a long way away from any large aquatic mammal *lol*

Apart from that, I'm bidding on some nice jewellery/accessories sold by a very pretty lady. I guess even I'm susceptible to the ole "sex sells". But the stuff she offers is damn good as well ;P

Before I forget it: Meet what will hopefully soon become my new boots! OMG OMG OMG *Shags them*
Actually, you should toitally check out the store they're from. They have tons of awesome cosplay/Gothic Lolita stuff. Damn, how I'd want to raid their warehouse >:D

Aaaaand anohter store discovery: Them. I just very nearly had a heart attack when I saw this (again, this is actually my size!).

To afford all that, I plan to sell my crappy Kodak C813. I got the awesome DX7590 from [livejournal.com profile] yamasagi so I don't really need it anymore :D

ETA: [livejournal.com profile] yamasagi bought me the last one. ZOMG O_O

I won a Konata ^___^
If you ask me, everyone should have their own Konata *lol*

Anyway XD
New hardware a.k.a. Xmas pressies (apart from the last one)!

External DVD writer (Pretty and fast as hell!)

DVB-T stick (... which I haven't gotten around tor eally testing that much yet XD)

Additional handset (... because the "big phone" is two rooms away and usually, the answering machine picks up before me ^_^;;;

Also...

I found a better quality version of "Cosmos dream"! Yes! Yes! Yesss!!!


God, so beautiful... Also, it's verifiably the first Japanese song I ever heard. Back then, I think I was still in kindergarten. I thought I'd forgotten how it went, but when I played it again, it all came back immediately... *chokes*
My happy thing for today: Those arriving in the mail. I'm planning to wear them when I visit my parents (25th/26th) ^_^

I've also started looking for a WordPress layout to customize. My German blog really needs a new outift =)

Yay yay yay!!!
Now I know what I'll be wearing at the Spring Heeled Jack audio play performance next Saturday: This.
Hot damn, that shirt is SO SMEXY :D~~~
It's got studs and things, and the sleeves are partly open. Guuhhhh...
Actually, I've seen the exact same shirt on eBay before but didn't bid on it because there were far too many people after it.
But this time, it was on 2€ and I bid 3€ during the last ten seconds, which scored me the victory over this awesome shirt at the price of juuust 5€ (less than three Dollars), shipping included.
Can't wait to get it, and I expect that to happen rather soon since I paid it with PayPal.
Anyway. Great bargain there, and I also have ten auctions running for shit I don't use that'll hopefully give me some more moolah.
Now, I can calm down and get to my NaNo duty for today ^_^

Today, I phoned mum, asking her to send me my 20-hole combat boots. I don't need them any more since I bought 30-hole ones a few months ago which are much cooler. And since the 20-hole ones are almsot unworn (only tried threm on one or twice, I think), selling them on eBay will hopefully give me a bit of funds for my November trip.
Speaking of said trip, I booked a room for the weekend. Hooray! It's the same price and pretty close to where Kai lives again, and since I now kinda know my way around there, I'm not worried about navigating in the slightest. Also, knowing him, being the adorable guy he is, he's gonna drive me around again anyway. Bless him *showers him with cuddles'n'kisses*
And this time, I'll try my damndest to be cohenrent enough to actually take some decent photos!!

ETA: Also, Soulbrother, it's "cuddly". Where did that extra "e" come from? Awww, even his mistakes are cute :x
