GamerGirlAlice's Monolith Part 1: Introduction

Horrible Day

   well today was horrible before going to bed my tower PC bricked.  that means all my hard drives locked up and cant be fixed, so i lost all my data.  i give up on that stem & just going to rebuild it.  so i dismantled it and went to bed.  then at 3am i rolled out bed and fell on my knee.  now busted main PC and cant walk with out my crutch.

   all i can feel safe of saving for my new PC is the monitor, case, speakers, and game pad.  i am not going to have it over heat again.  when i get paid i am buying the corsair link cooling kit.  basically its a software based fan controller.  so if system gets hot it will ramp up the case fans.  the other parts will take longer to get but its better to do it right then make mistakes.

GamerGirlAlice's Monolith or The Phoenix


   well i been working hard on my PC rebuilding parts of my computer and it lives again even if it is on life support.  i rebuilt my power supply, speakers and even my 3d vision emitter.  i am impressed i got it working this well, but still needs parts.  i need keyboard, mouse, speakers, & graphics card to name a few.  we have the technology to rebuild it, just need the parts.  LOL!  i repaired speakers but they are unstable just like my graphics card.  that's what will set me back the most in cost are speakers and graphics card.  the link  below is the parts i need. to finish repairing it.

What to Do

   well im trying to deiced what i should do for a career as well as what to do about my pc.  i have called a local cleet school and found i can most likely get a cleet license but finding a company to hire me may be hard.  trying to find out if my van can pull cars on a car hauler.  honestly i think id be happier in security but finding a post in my vehicle or a guard shack might be hard.  as for my pc its unstable, good example is my mouse hardly works when it boots up.  im thinking of getting some external hard drives and connecting them to this notebook.  when i pay off my ps3 and loan, i plan on renting to own a new notebook to do what i need.  i know ill pay 2 to 3 times more then it costs, but in my finances i have very few choices.

Friday the 13th Mostly Uneventful


   not much happened Friday.  went and got some HDMI cables and got a few more surprises hooking it up.  aperntly the HDMI cables only for video, luckily i had enough audio cables to hook things up.  i need better cables all around and they at the top my wish list on amazon now but they working now even if not at the best quality.  ill take picture of the receiver set up after something gets fixed  see the Sony DVD changer that came with it the HDMI broken.  so the warty plan is going io get it fixed they picking it up in a few hours to fix it.  eventually i want to get a bigger Sony TV maybe a 42" 1080p then i can give my mom her TV back.

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR


   wow it is cold.  it even snowed hard for 1/2 a hour.  that's my moms black Nissan Altima & my blue Pontiac Montana.  it was so cold i dint want to get out bed but im expecting a delivery in next couple of hours so i had too.  but i simply gave up on computers, i wonder if i got into them so heavy because my late brother.  but im no good with computers.  i blown up 6 grand worth parts in 2 years.  i cant afford it anymore.  so im going back to my roots in home entertainment and cars.  my delivery is a surround sound system which ill post pic of tomorrow.  but home entertainment like movies, music, ps3, & TV make me happy as well as a car.  i have a acer aspire notebook i got from pawn shop for email and blog, but that's the decision i made to save my sanity and bank account.  i see my psychiatrist tomorrow and going to ask her to increase my antidepressant because its not working anymore.
