Dude, nice! Man, I haven't owned DVD's in forever, and I still don't own a Blu-Ray player...

So my laptop's LCD inverter decided to go hayware on me. Sent it to my usual repair shop. Unfortunately the parts they need will take 15-20 days to arrive (August, sad to say tends to be a very slow month). So I gotta make do with my dad's laptop. A 2006 Packard Bell MX EasyNote with 2GBs of Ram that has Windows 8.1 installed on it.

Works well for about 80% of my usual work. More intense graphics are no go. It's gonna be a really long month.

Finally got around to giving the folks "The Talk" about joining the Military.
They took it quite well, being rather happy that I had been researching and planning out a future.

Much better than I had hoped, so I'll be moving forward with enlistment there with no undue stress on part of the family.

I just watched the Babadook. Really fucking scary...up until the ending where the horror that was so effective throughout the movie is gone when [spoiler]it's revealed the Babadook is a real monster and not the result of the mother's imagination. The film worked up till that point because it was never clear if the monster was real, aside from maybe one scene which hinted at it.[/spoiler] While I don't think the movie is bad by any stretch, it's absolutely terrifying, I think if the film were far more ambiguous, it would have been way scarier and way more effective conveying its message.

Create an ROJM account and try arguing, if he bites then it is the one true TA.

It's all good. Going in with the Navy though, so no wartime battle stories on the front-lines with guns ala Army/Marines for me to share(unlikely but might happen!). My newphew is in as an Aviator about to go into SERE training IIRC.

I'll be talking to my recuriter soon to set up ASVAB testing. Will be gunning for the Navy's intelligence community hopefully in the advanced electronics field as a Cryptologic Technician Technical.

I have my own place now. Just gained access to it recently. Is why I've been so quiet. Been busy with real life matters. Is pretty exciting and I'm really happy with the place. Gonna be living with a friend of mine.

It's great to hear that your family supports you going to the Navy, JRcade. I mean, it's certainly an honorable thing, but, some people see it as going out to kill yourself. I'm sure you'll be fine though!

Congrats on finding one! A big step in these times. Always good to see a person succeed like this.

PART-AY AT NEKo'S !

In all seriousness, congrats! Glad you got it all sorted with the place to stay. Did you end up getting it close to where you work?

Yeah, is relatively close to where I work. I'm able to stop by a store on the way home and still make it home around the same time my ride currently is. If i don't stop at the store, it's a much shorter ride then what I'm currently used to my busride being, which is currently an hour and 10 minutes on average on the way home. I'm really happy with the area. Still want to get my drivers license of course, but now it isn't as big of a stress now that I won't be having 1+ hour busrides home.
