Today was very productive but very boring. (and frustrating!)
Well, I wake up... then lay in bed for like 20 minutes... yea... so...
When I get downstairs everyone is up and tired and yea. My dad and bro go to get some breakfast stuff. YUMMY breakfast stuff. I had a raisin cinnamon roll
Well after breakfast I'm really excited to get going on transferring all the files that need to go on this new laptop. So I hop on, and start getting some over. The apps transfer took forever. Mostly because half of them were already on this new comp, so it "Prepared to copy" way too many files. When I started with the computer, it was about 10:00. Then, for the rest of the day, I sat at the computer sending files over and over again. In my opinion, I REALLY don't like iPhoto '08 much. It's just too different and odd. Anyways, when I attempted to import the 5-6 GB of photos to the laptop, about halfway through, iPhoto unexpectedly quit!! I'm like WTF! How rude! It's like what a waste! Anyways, I selected "import recovered photos," but that was only like half of them. So now I have like 3000 items out of 4000. I try it again. Halfway though AGAIN, (i selected ignore duplicates even!) it froze and I had to force quit. So, after about 3 hours of messing with iPhoto (each try took like 30 mins and I tried like 5 times
) I just gave up and stopped with 3/4th of the photos and possible duplicates (I think it ignored my ignore duplicates choice 
) Then I went on to do it with iTunes. Luckily, no problems there 
. (I'm slowly starting to think that iLife '08 is just an overall failure.)
Well, after spending the WHOLE day messing with networks, servers, and files, I finally got everything that I wanted over. To take a break from the comp, I went to mess with the Wii. I finally got my mom to make a Mii (I made it, but she chose everything), and I actually got my dad to let me buy a game on the Virtual Console! WOOHOO!!!! I just got enough Wii Points to buy Mario Kart 64. It's really great. I've played it a long time ago on a real N64, and it was a bit less good than I remembered it, but I still think it was worth it.
Well, right now, I'm in my tent outside in my backyard
. Suddenly my bro just decided to camp outside tonight, so he pithed the tent, and I agreed to sleep outside too. My bro's asleep right now, and I'm just checking up on the forums before I go to bed. (oh yea, MBG is really awkward to play on this laptop. Especially for powerups. Normally I use NumPad0, but this IS no Numpad, let alone ANY keys to the right of the arrows! It sucks, because now I either have to learn to use the trackpad mouseclick, or use an actual mouse for powerups 
Battery is half full (W00t! I'm Optimistic!) (see the poll I will make in the next 3 minutes lol
)
