Behold, the wonders of paperwork
Today I hit two snags brought on by the world of professional bureaucracy. Firstly, in attempting to register for the SAT, I had problems finding an alternate testing site. Once that was accomplished, the site went down. All that work and I couldn't even process it ( Read more... ) -
Technical difficulties
Went to work on javert_valjean for a bit, but found myself halted by my inability to make some icons for the members. Photoshop is not working for me. At all. Gah! What a time for my Dell Picture Studio to expire. And it had such nifty text options... -
Fencing fun and a meme
Fencing was, as usual, a delightful experience and welcome relief from the grind of school.

So, a real update
Fencing was today. Not bad, considering I haven't been back long enough to really get used to it again. But ah! I don't get tired any more. Such a wonderful thing, to be able to fence and fence and fence and not have to stop. Had a 15-touch bout first, followed by an indefinite and informal sabre sparring session. Sabre, as some of you know, is a ( Read more... ) -

So. I have a problem. I cannot get my Windows Media Player to let me take screenshots of DVDs. It will do it for the anime I have on my computer, but not for DVDs. CTRL+I works flawlessly for the one, but not the other. Any ideas?
(For anyone who's wondering, I'm trying to make 'Reservoir Dogs' icons, because the movie is just too awesome for
