'Twas my graphics card that killed itself with the power supply. It has been fixed but I am out 400 dollars or so

*gripe* I'm gonna need to isolate my Motherboard and ensure that it's the only thing plugged in to see if it turns on before I even think of getting a warranty done... but I have no real idea/desire to try to yank this sucker apart and figure that out.

*reads the better summary from Lib Of Congress* You know... if that does pass..... Congress can sue itself for failing to do anything.

Care to elaborate on what this is? From what I could pick up from the various news reports, it basically is a law that allows congress to sue the executive if they don't feel he's properly enforcing their laws. And it makes sure that these lawsuits would be expedited through the court system so that the republicans (should they get it through which is doubtful) would be able to quickly get their satisfaction... until a republican president is going up against a democratic legislature.

No, the plan here is if they can get it through the Senate (possible but unlikely) the President will veto it and they get a nice little potical soundbite or two out of it for the elections. Oh look, the President refuses to obey the law, executive over reach, Obama is a dicatator, that kind of thing. While I do think executive abuse and over reach are a serious problem that WILL need to be addressed before Obama leaves office, this bill is desiged to be vetoed. I do not approve of the legislature send up bills designed to fail for purely poitical purposes. That is not what congress is for and, quite honestly is an abuse of their power. Besides, the Dems can torpedo this in the Senate and deprive the GOP of the soundbite. They will still get one but it won't be as effective as if Obama vetoed it. But the House GOP does love their quioxitc causes. Eh, the way I see it, if it did get through, they'd be to scared to use it because it'd have to end up in the supreme court to see if it's really constitutional. Also he could reverse everything and ask the house and senate to let him enforce the various laws that they voted into place by not holding up appointees.

Meanwhile we've got the "Enforce the Law" act that just sailed through the House. Not entirely sure that this is going to go the way that those in the house want it to if you ask me.

Ban Bossy because it's totally Retarded. Ban Retarded because it's totally Gay dude!

So... my computer's power supply may have fried the motherboard, but the mother board has a 3 year warranty on it, that I'll have to call about tomorrow because they've closed for today. I got a new powersupply that should work (according to the people who made my computer) so *shruggles*

My computer is deader than a door mail right now. And I am gonna have to take out a student loan to replace it

Woke up four hours early to a kitteh attacking my feet (which were sticking out from under my blanket) and being a tad bit to hot... may try to slam back into sleep for those extra few hours.

So, apparently the Need for Speed movie is so... vapid they're selling it on the stunts. Also a Shaq commercial has me thinking that he's gonna try to eat me when he talks about his skin.

In general being physically strong is the foundation for a hell of a lot of backbone because you know you can "take" most anyone who comes for you.

Hansel and Gretel... Honestly? this should have been a PG13. It's an R for bewbs, out of place use of the F word, and people exploding in red mists.... and thats about it.

And that's all you need to know about Teddy R

It's wals, he's never not been a grumpy old bugger. And I just want to finish with school... although I learned that if I can squeeze 18 credits into the next semester, I've got a double minor attached to my History major.

Also he pointedly ignored anything Half Life 3 esque

Well ****... I think my old car blew it's alternator and/or batt when I wasn't using it during the winter. Tried to get it started today but first I couldn't move it because it was surrounded by ice, then it just flat out cut out. Pretty sure the battery is gone and I'm not willing to pay to replace it so figure I might call a Junk yard and see what they'll give me unless somebody here decides they want to make a 98 acura integra (stick) into a project...

Woke up to my cat asking for food, did my homework. stared at Tomb Raider on my brand new PS4

Apparently my school is required to provide Title IX training to ALL STUDENTS. If read normally it takes 40 minutes (according to them) If you punch the button fast enough, it takes five.

Saw Lego movie... loved it. Now some ME2 then bed for work all day.

Jamie Alexander made a public comment about the Olympic dating pool. But there are entire websites based on the.... adventures.... of the athletes. I think Cracked referenced it here (#5) http://www.cracked.com/article_19733_5-things-they-dont-want-you-to-know-about-olympics.html

Huh... snow... also got called attractive today, although in a sort of offhand "you're hotter than my boyfriend" way.

*watches snowboarding, sees all hype for shawn white, checks internet and mutes the TV because it's really stupid to keep building this tension when they know the answers*

Fairly certain it's a bug given that I'm still plugged up to heck while at work.

I've been fighting a bug for a good month and a half. Can't really breath through both nostrils which is frustrating. I think it's in my sinuses... I wish It'd go away but it doesn't seem to want to. Also my cat is flipping insane.
