Lack-of-Coherency warning: this post is a whiny rant with little/no topic, and absolutely no substance.

I don't update this much. Sorry.

I'd post some awesome pictures from RP like I've been meaning to do for a while... but I'm on my old computer. Which means NO SL, NO RP, NO HOMEWORK (sad, actually, as I've much due next week), and NO planning for D&D.

So basically now all there is left is email, blog, and knitting. This computer can't handle much.

He (yes, my computers are male) weighs about 7 pounds and has 512 MB of RAM. So I'm not going anywhere--especially considering that I took the battery out, since it doesn't last long enough anyway to keep it unplugged. The weight was without battery. It's like a crappy desktop! Whee!

*contemplates trying to find all the parts to build a frankencomputer... Then remembers that it's Friday in a small, un-nerdy college town.*

Meanwhile, some commentary on SL's new "Adult" ratings!
Sumup: WTF.

Okay, let me get this straight. If it displays or promotes sex and/or violence, it's adult. If it does not promote either but has hints of it, it's either mature or adult, depending on Linden Lab's POV on the exact case. If it would be rated G in a movie, it's "PG".

So the way I see it is... the only ratings available in SL (and I use movie terms because I lack skill with words today) are G and X.
And I list "mature" content in G... because most sims I go to that are labelled "Mature" are cleaner than some Disney movies.

Okay, that was more of a rant than a review. My computer died today. There was much screaming and cursing and acts of violence (that would get my apartment moved to Zindra).

Today, I don't actually want to be a Pepper too. I just want my computer back.
