i. It is really fucking cold. And snowing again, on top of snow. You guys, this never happens here! It ices. Or, occasionally, it snows on top of ice. People classify this as the south! Snow! What the hell. I don't even know what to do with it, honest to god.

ii. Last night my internet stopped working for about two hours. This lead to me (not) doing something productive. I ended up reorganizing my music folder. Which, after my internet decided to return to me, lead to uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, waiting an hour for my music library to load into the newly reinstalled itunes, burning some episodes of Being Human to DVD, and being hounded into finally updating that damn DIVx Codex.

iii. Windows DVD Maker is now refusing to work at all. It keeps randomly crashing. And by randomly I, of course, mean anytime I try to use it at all. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the codex again, and still (STILL!) it is not working for me.

iv. I would, at some point, like to get some things off of my computer in DVD format. Any suggestions? Know of any good, free, programs that would help me to achieve this goal?

v. Oh, technology, how you vex me so. I shake my fist at you, sir!

vi. I finally escaped from my mother's hysterical fear of going anywhere when there is (gasp horror) snow on the ground, and took one of my cousins and my niece to see The Princess and The Frog. It was kind of awesome, you guys, I'm not even gonna lie. ( Spoilers? I guess? ) I just tried to use < /spoilers> to close that, for the record. Also, the soundtrack is amazing.

vii. I feel like I should have a writing goal or two for the new year. I was thinking about my 100,000 word count, but a) I have already done that, a long time ago and, b) I don't know if that's even possible with school, really. Ideas? Suggestions?

viii. I... don't know what I was going to put here. Even in roman numerals I need even numbers though. Um. Have a song! The Fray covering Hips Don't Lie. I don't even know what this is, but I enjoy it all the same.
