disco screen

My computer screen has been dying for a while now. It's very frustrating. It does that thing when I turn it on where it's got a very low luminosity for a while, then it's got a stroboscopic effect for a while (lucky I'm not epileptic) before finally settling down normally at which point I can use it normally until the next time I turn it off.

Trouble is the lapse of time of low-light/strobo effect to the point it's more than one hour now... Lemme see it's 4:30, I turned it on at 2:30 I think, and it's not settled yet... make than more than two hours. Argh.

I've been trying to wait until September so I could get a new screen as a birthday present from my dad, but this is starting to stretch the usability I get out of it. Sighs. Though with my finance as they are right now, I'd rather not buy a new one myself. No chance of any east way to fix this I suppose?

Character you'd date

That's a very difficult question if I take it seriously. I love a lot of characters whom I wouldn't even come near to in real life because I'm not crazy; and I don't date a whole lot.

If I do not take it seriously, I think my most recent character crush was this woman:


Touko Aozaki from Kara no Kyoukai

In fact the main reason I started watching Kara no Kyoukai was because I saw a pic of he somewhere, and I thought 'hey she looks hot, wonder what anime she's from?' (also how I ended up watching Sayounara Zetsubou Sensei and Michiko e Hatchin); from what I've watched of Kara no Kyoukai, hotness is confirmed : she's tough, smart, snarky, a witch, a little bit manipulative but in a laid back way, not entirely morally bankrupt (I think) but ambiguously so, and is hot.

Of course, I'm very prone to character crushes, so, the answer will probably change by next week ^_^

Character you'd like to go shopping with

Toph, because "does this make my butt looks big" would be a great set up for one of those "why do you people keep forgetting that I AM BLIND!" jokes, and then she's get fed up an destroy the store which would be awesome

That depends what do you mean by shopping. I'm not a big fan of shopping for clothing, but if it was that, Ciani of Farady because she'd give advices based on what clothes would piss off my boss most, which is really a must. Now that I think about it, Gerald Tarrant would also be a hillarious in that he had a good sense of aesthetics but would never have the patience for actual stores shopping so there would be snark, and threats of violence.

If it was the kind of shopping, I actually enjoy, like books and geeky stuff... maybe Wendy Watson from The Middleman (which I just recently watched ^^), because good and sensible female geek characters are hard to find.
