elizalavelleAnother busy weekend has flown by!
On Friday I bought my US money for my vacation. I'm wonderfully broke now but I'll appreciate being able to shop when I'm there :) Then I saw my parents off as they left for England for 2 weeks (lucky them!) and then went home to work on finishing up my tshirt screening designs.
Saturday I sent my ideas off to Mel so she could tell me how crazy I was trying to do the things I've chosen to do. Actually only one of them so far isn't working well so that's not bad... especially considering that I've somehow rotted my brain so much that I managed to screw up counting to 4 and designed 5 shirts. I honestly didn't even realize I'd done it until Tom and Jo pointed out I'd gone over the maximum. Oops. I may end up saving one to do next tshirt shindig lol. We'll see how timing goes.
Our internet also died completely again on Saturday and we've now FINALLY got a technician coming over next Friday (for free at least) to see what can be done. We did manage to get 2 of our computers back online, Jo and I are still out of luck :(
Saturday Tom also came by and brought Muppets DVDs so we could introduce Jo to the Muppets. We watched the episodes with Bernadette Peters and Julie Andrews! Fun!
Sunday I bought tshirts for the screening and found Xfiles figures from the movie, still in their original packaging, at Value Village. I restrained myself and just bought a Mulder and a Scully in their FBI suits I left Artic Gear Mulder and Scully and the alien ones behind. I also got a computer mouse since mine was having trouble tracking and it was getting really not fun trying to make icons and such with a mouse that didn't stay where you wanted it.
Today I have to fix one of my tshirt designs before Mel bans me from her house ;) and I need to start burning CDs for my bus trip which is so soon!!!!

Date: 2007-09-10 04:14 pm (UTC)What modem do you have? What router?
Because my sister is magically having problems with her internet too! She just went back to guelph yesterday and the internet was really slow and only worked when it was her computer directly into the modem. Then that died. And it won't allow any of her roommates computers to get online... Well, none of them work through the router and I've tried all the tricks I know.
I think it's a fucking Bell issue that they've just put in place. What's funny is 100s of people online seem to have the same issue as she does.

Date: 2007-09-10 05:26 pm (UTC)The Modem and router are a 2 in 1 deal. It's a 2wire modem... hmmm can't remember the model # off of the top of my head. I'm sure it's a Bell issue and not our issue and having to plug the computers directly into a modem is not an okay solution. Especially as once Jo moves out our two main household computers are desktops. The other laptop that Nicole uses is being taken by Miguel to use at school, it won't often be in our house. So we can't trek desktops to the kitchen every time the modem fails, especially as thus far it's not worked for more than 60 minutes without a problem.
Tell your sister to get Rogers internet, I LOVED their service when I had it in my last apartment. I want to switch it, roommates want to fix the internet we have so this Friday is Bell's last chance... in the meantime I'm over at my parents house all of the time now just to borrow their internet!
I'm guessing no movie tonight :(
