  • Me: "My God, I haven't gotten any solid writing done since my surgery. I need to finish this chapter at least!"

    Also me: "What the hell is colloidal oatmeal. I'm going to use straight bentonite clay as a cleanser just to see what happens. Can you find optiphen at Walmart? Maybe I should try a baking soda-free version of that deodorant I attempted back in June..."

    If my writing's not gonna get any better, my DIY skincare skills should, dammit.

    ...Colloidal oatmeal is literally just oats ground into a powder. Why the fancy name? "Powdered oats" sounds more refreshing, but "colloidal oatmeal" sounds more mystical, I guess.

    Also, straight clay as a cleanser isn't half-bad, but I don't think it has actual cleansing benefits. Now I'm going to procrastinate by looking up dupe recipes for the clay cleanser i actually use right now (something from L'Oreal in a green bottle that smells good).

    If they wanted to get really fancy they should've call it "Colloidal Avena Sativa."
    ID is showing episodes of 20/20 all night tonight and all day tomorrow. I'm immensely happy they saw the opportunity and took it.
    I'll be damned, it went off without a hitch. Welcome, IA!

    She came with a copy of Cubase... maybe I can sell it off and put it towards my laptop fund. Would it be worth anything?

    Aw welcome, IA!!
    I bet you could at least make a little bit off it! Try putting it on Twitter or something! :)

    If you have Cubase, I think you can use Vocaloid 4.5 with it. I think you'd just have to compare prices for sites like ebay for find out what other people are selling it for.

    Depends on the version of Cubase. The LE and AI editions are "free", so I doubt you'd be able to sell those for too much. Yeah, they're not truly free because a code is still needed to active the software, but technically they aren't available for purchase.
    eBay looks like it's got some good deals on quad-core laptops. If I can save up and similar deals are present by then, I might be able to get a new one that meets my requirements.Then I could sell mine and maybe get some money back.

    Anyone got any other recommended websites for buying used laptops?

    Good luck!! I don't have a lot of know-how to give advice, but I hope all goes well!
    According to Best Buy, my less-than-year-old laptop I paid $700 for that has no scratches, dents, or missing keys is now worth $50. I have no job, I don't have many possessions to sell, my warranty expires in two weeks, and I can't sell my laptop until I get a new one to replace it.

    Fuck me.

    Yeesh Best Buy is a scam. Any stores that will buy things off you always give you a shit price (I sold basically every ds and wii game I owned and made 7 bucks for it at some game store) Maybe put it up on ebay or something so you can pick your price?

    That's what I was thinking. I never have luck with those things though. I might try Facebook...
    IA left Chicago 27 hours ago and I haven't gotten an update yet. I'm holding out hope she'll be dropped off with the evening mail tomorrow, but at this rate I doubt she'll be here before the new year.

    Ah well. Here's hoping!
    Okay. Y'all. Whatever wrongs Last Jedi committed, Rise of Skywalker corrected them. Go watch it ASAP. I'm still misty-eyed.
    Me: "I wanna like Fukase, but after some incredibly negative experiences with certain fangirls, it's just hard. I don't know if I could ever really get into him again."

    Also me, barreling down the interstate, Bluetooth cranked all the way up: "LET'S BOTH FALL IN LOVE LIKE THERE'S NO MORE OF THAT CRUEL FEELING BUT STILL I WON'T GIVE UP 'CAUSE THE EARTH IS NOT SMALL FOR FIND SOMEONE LIKE YOU "

    Ahaha this is such a mood. This was me with Oliver for years. It really took me a while to come around to him, and I quite like him now! I've found he's way easier to get clear with phoneme edits/EQ than expected, too!
    I keep getting this popup every time I do literally anything in Studio One. Clicking on it just makes another one pop up. Trying to send it away does the same thing. Any advice on getting rid of it?

    Ah, I hated that, so annoying! :rin_lili: I haven't went back to Studio One, and I don't know how to get rid of that, sorry. :arsloid_ani_lili:

    @patuk My God, you are a lifesaver. There wasn't a headphones option, so I changed it from ASIO4ALL v2 to Windows Audio, and that did the trick! Thank you so much!!

    You're welcome! I've had the exact issue but with a different program so I knew what's up :kaito2_move:
    If I can get enough energy in today, I’m gonna try and finish a chapter of TBBC:AD! I made a lot of headway on it last night. I’ve also been tossing around rewriting Rabuho and officially making it part of the Kyokotta Household series - it’s technically the first in the series (by written order, not chronologically), but since the whole concept of a series was in its infancy at the time, and since their characterizations are so off compared to how I write them now, I think it’d be fun to update it!

    ...you’d think a week after a low-risk surgery I’d spring back, but I’m still rather worthless right now. I’ll be good for something again soon, surely.
    Y'all ever have a NOTP that you try to convince yourself you're secretly soft for, but while you're innocently looking for a cover of a song and see a cover with said NOTP, your immediate, knee-jerk reaction is to say "Ew!" and physically recoil away from the screen?

    ...please tell me I'm not the only one and that it doesn't make me a terrible person.
    :nemu_smile_lili:GUESS WHO'S FINALLY GETTING NEMU:nemu_smile_lili:

    I wanted to get NemuRion, but it's only $10 more to get them separate, and I'm not just dying for Rion right now. After I get to a bank tomorrow I'll finally get my precious child!!!

    Woah that is a lot! Thank you for sharing that with me. I’m always interested in seeing other people’s collections.

    Leon
    Ahhh congrats!! I'm so happy for you!! You've been talking about Nemu for a while, so I'm happy to see you get her! I'm gearing up to maybe buy Fukase soon, since I have fall tuition put away already and get paid on Friday :)

    @WyndReed thank you for asking! Vocaloid is something I’ve loved for nearly half my life but just recently got into from the production side, so I’m extremely proud of my collection.

    @Leon that’s awesome!! Best of luck to you!
