Let's start over again

So earlier I was repairing my cousin’s laptop because I somehow broke it while we were cleaning it. It would only stay on for <30 seconds before shutting off.

I finished re-doing everything I did earlier and was not hopeful at all, as I had spent at least 5 hours total on it today, not counting the research I did to check for things.

So I was sad and not hopeful and remembered a quote from the Doctor: 

My experience is that there is, you know, surprisingly always hope.


So I took this and rebuilt the whole thing without looking back. And hoped it would work. I did one thing slightly differently.

And, ta-da, it’s been on for a good 10 minutes now, running a startup repair that I can’t cancel.

Thank you, Doctor.

Can people stop whining about how many episodes of Doctor Who should have those reapers from Father’s Day in them?

Doctor Who involves time and space travel. Let the writers use travelling through time and space in a fun/creative way. Please don’t maintain that minor creatures (that I personally believe weren’t remotely interesting) that have a presence in a single episode should be present throughout the entire series. You’re letting one writer who wrote a total of 3 episodes and a short series of webcasts dictate the future of the Whoniverse. 

Gah.

A post about the dream I just had because I remember most of it and /what/

Just had a weird dream that heavily involved people from high school that took place at my middle school where I was taking classes of some sort and it was nighttime but I was taking classes and my schedule wasn’t easy to read, instead it was a series of Harry Potter references. So I went to use a computer in my old English teacher’s class and they were watching Titanic. And then I ended up wandering the school looking for stuff and I found a janitor’s closet area and then a random janitor who used to be at the school when I was arrived and had a conflict with the new janitor about how all of the old stuff had been replaced. Then the old janitor opened the closet and it took some effort because apparently the room had been sealed, airtight, the entire time.

And then there was water and a turtle that ate seaweed that seemed to just randomly appear anywhere in the water and it was a massive turtle.

And then there was a dance of some sort and everyone was really nicely dressed but apparently the suit I had was cursed or something because I kept awkwardly finding myself naked and distinctly remember having to get re-dressed 3 times while other things were happening.

And then I guess there was a massive sushi shaped cake and suddenly a ton of beds appeared and naps were being had and someone was in the bed I wanted so I went into map-editing mode (like how I make tf2 maps and portal 2 ones) and I raised the level of the water and brought over a ton of seaweed to the edge of the  beds and rearranged and resized some tables.

The fuck?

It seems easy to me, but I really have no idea how to gauge difficulty when you know all the answers.

Reposting because MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU!
I made that helmet out of posterboard&#8230;two years ago? And actually walked around with it on campus for part of the day. And while waiting for a class to start.
Also, that TIE Interceptor is also papercraft.
Yes I am aware it is derpy, I scaled it x4 instead of x3 and copied it from my screen to the paper by hand instead of with a printer because I didn&#8217;t have one at the time.

I made that helmet out of posterboard…two years ago? And actually walked around with it on campus for part of the day. And while waiting for a class to start.

In this past week I’ve had a bunch of dreams about people

who I really have no reason to be dreaming about? I don’t know. They all seem random. Here, have a list because it’s silly and I’ve dreamt about enough that it no longer seems creepy to me, just weird.

Jamie (AwesomeJamie). Me and a bunch of other people were helping her move out of an apartment that was on the top of this maaaassive building like the Burrow in Harry Potter.

Someone from high school. There was a weird thing about parking and not paying the $7 for parking (which is only a rule in college) and the principal who was someone I didn’t recognize gave us (yes, gave us) $10 for parking there and when I tried to explain why I didn’t pay (I didn’t realize they charged us for parking at my high school) she gave me another $10 and said she was retiring and was going to miss high schoolers. I have no idea. Person from high school was also there debating the same thing and…crazy shit happened that I’m not going to go into right now. I haven’t seen the person since like 3 years ago?

Someone from college. I don’t remember this dream well. Cereal was involved. I haven’t seen her for 2-3 months?

There were more but I forgot. And then just now:

Brittany and Derek (blueeyesaryandragon and theonetruenidoking). For some reason I was in my old dorm room in college and Brittany was waiting for Derek to come back from something so they could go to something. I kept leaving the room without my wallet and trying to get food from a place. But since I didn’t have my wallet I had to keep coming back and it was ridiculous and I offered to get something for Brittany but she wasn’t hungry or something. Then the one time I remembered to get my wallet, Derek arrived and him and her started to leave to go to the party thing so I said goodbye and then we ended up walking in the same direction and it was awk. so I walked really fast to the store and on the way saw a pair of people, one wearing the bottom half of a Winnie-the-Pooh costume and the other wearing the top. I assume there was a costume party.

Housemate and a guy who runs our apartment-y-area. In the same dream, my housemate appeared and was getting food from the store place. The guy who runs etc. was there asking if I had an ethernet cable because I am the only person he knows well enough/thinks might have an ethernet cable. In return, he gave us free reign on the food in the store because he was in charge of it for some reason.

I don’t know. I dream about you people on the internet.

Hey remember that thing I posted earlier?
What if it&#8217;s a SECRET MESSAGE? Read the first line of each tweet. (in red above)

Because I like bragging about all the Oreos the United States has to offer that Jess is missing out on.
I haven&#8217;t actually tried one yet and the window behind me is too bright to take a proper picture of my face

Seriously distraught by that playthrough

Ugh.

Mass Effect 2 feels

Endless spoilers about the end of the game and the consequences of things.

So I just decided to enter the Omega 4 relay.

No Legion, no upgrades, no loyalty.

Jack died when a laser tore through our unupgraded hull. Tali died in an explosion while we boosted the power to the kinetic barrier, overheating the engine. Thane died when we flew in close to take out the Collector ship at point blank range.

I then proceeded to make very bad decisions for the group.

Jacob got to go stealth through the ventilation because he offered. Grunt took the second group.

Jacob died from a shot to the head while trying to force a door closed.

We proceeded to find our crew members safe. I told Mordin to take them back. Grunt took charge of the diversionary group. Miranda took care of the biotic field while Garrus, Samara, and I walked through the base.

Miranda didn’t have enough power to shield us all the way so Garrus got taken away by a swarm. Then we heard that Mordin didn’t make it because he was defending the crew. Grunt survived commanding the diversionary group, to my surprise.

I left Samara behind to watch our backs and took Miranda and Grunt with me through the final stages. I saved the Collector base and things started getting even more out of hand.

I found Grunt dead on the flying platform at the end when I got up and Miranda waved me over. As I pulled the debris off of her, she looked at me and then collapsed in my arms.

I called Joker asking if Samara made it. She hadn’t.

So I was the only one left. It was just me and Joker.

Except, as I jumped onto the Normandy and clung to the edge for my life, the Collectors managed to get a few shots off and knocked Joker off balance. He was too weak to save me and I was too weak to get up. Commander Shepard told Joker to tell the others about the Reapers and fell from the Normandy. The airlock closed on Joker.

Everyone on the suicide mission was dead except for Joker, who reported to the Illusive Man himself.

I can’t believe that Bioware lets you do SO BAD at the end of the game and carries it out. I was legitimately awed by the fact that the ones I thought would surely survive had died. Not even the two I took for my squad at the end made it. My jaw was so wide when Shepard didn’t make it onto the Normandy. I was thinking “Wow, only Shepard and Joker make it out of this alive” and bad things just kept happening.
