Me vs. Computer Repair Service (and a usual journal)

General
Hi everyone!
Oh, what a interesting week it was! So many things have happened, so many twists and turns... But i'll better get to the point :3. I have some good news, and of course - bad news. I'll start with the bitter, and later head on to the sweet...
Bad news:
My PC came back from the service! After 17 (working days) away it had returned - still broken... Was This Trip Really Necessary? The guys at the main service found the "source" of the "problem" and changed the graphic card. And yes, that didn't even help a bit. I am starting to think, that... maybe i'm just overreacting? Maybe i just demand too much from a normal PC. Let's face it - most of the games have very high requirements, and i just can't demand them running smooth on a newly bought PC. Yes, i agree - Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has very high req, and it needs a very good hardware to run smoothly, with all the effects and physics engine. Dawn of War - I do realize, that the enormous mass of detailed units fighting on the screen, with all the graphic effects can slow even the best equipment down. And i am absolutely sure, that Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, a game that came out 8 years ago just can't run withouth slowing down... Yup - It's all in my head :3.
Sorry for the sarcastic tone and all the whinning, but i just had to let it out. Actually, i'm neither surprised nor angry. Things like this are my daily bread. I'll just raise my war-banner and head towards the shop where i did purchase my newest computer. Will see what i'll managed to do...
I went thru the week according to the new university plan. First impression: it sucks... I really don't know who comes up with such ideas. 2 days in a row i'm spending my whole day at the uni. What's worse - one of those days is a university day equivalent for swiss cheese - 4 lectures streched from 8 in the morning, till 6 in the afternoon. The 1,5h "windows" don't allow me to go back home. I can't even go and see a movie during that time. Of course, i could be drawing - but it's either the "Knee" or in public. And i'm already too much of a sociopath to be seen with the stuff i draw - "I love what i do, and what i do isn't pretty ".
Also i have two new lectures: History of Music and Animation of culture. The first is ok, with my favourite laid back, Freddy Mercury wanna-be (You just gotta love that guy). The second, despite the name, doesn't have anything in common with animation (and remember... No smoking, and no flash photography). It's basiclly another "do-a-complex-and-absolutely-pointless-task" which comes in the "teamwork" package! Not that i don't like teamwork - i just hate working with people who i don't like... And the possible choice for team mates is very wide: from supersonic-sister to infinite forehead...
But enough of bad thing - let's head on to the good ones.
The Good news:
Got me grade - me looking for scanner :3. Currently i'm checking which one would be aproppriate. I do not want one which will show me the pecks of dust on the paper, yet a good would be nice to have. I need to buy it, because having one in my room works on me like a constant motivator. Withouth a mean to show my art i feel... incomplete.
Bought some yummy stuff durind last week/weeks. First of all i managed to buy not one, not two, but three - yes, You heard me good - Three pairs of handcuffs! Key included. And i'm talking about the quality ones :). They costed me 18 zlotych, which is about... 6$. Not a bad deal in my opinion. But the best came latter. In a second hand shop, with clothing and "stuff" form the UK i found this:
THIS
"This" little baby is probably new, came with a nice bag and a filther. It did need some cleaning, but apart from that, it's lovely. It costed me 35zlotych (about 12$), but i find it still a very good addition to my gas mask collection (remind me to post a photo of them). I admit - i have a huge gas mask fetish :3.
That's the news. Currently i'm sitting in my humble lair, enjoying a relaxing evening at my favourite page. I'm trying to draw lots of stuff, but due to the cameras bi-polar attitude it's a bit hard to get a good photo (IF i manage to do it). Except the very delayed requests, for which i am sorry - i'll try to send them as soon as i get my hands on a scanner, i do have some ideas, which i want to commit to paper. Most of them involves rubber, bondage, tf or all at the same time :3. I just regret to be distracted too often (mostly by uni).
Well that was the good, the bad, and the kinky. I'm going to relax a bit more.
Thank You all for reading and take care!

...but congrats for the S10. :D
Told ya it was good mask <3
And I feel sad for your computer as well. Still looking/trying to acquire one myself.
...but the S10 is a great way to make everything just a little bit better. <3
As for the lecturers - i wouldn't say they pretend. Most of my lecturers possess a vast knowledge in many fields, and for that i hold them in high esteem.
But that doesn't change the fact, that they are boring... Listening to them talking 1,5h non-stop makes me really miss the empty and silent factory hall.
The college/ university deal , it is always a nag having to work with individuals that you know are either gonna be full of themselves or be a total lag to the group cause they dont even try to contribute ideas or resources. Gets annoying <-.-'>
For the handcuffs. I have a pair that I was issued through my job. I've tried them once with my Zentai ....didnt like it . I have come to realize that I am not the bondage type <^.^'> . I just have the fetish for full body coverage of something that is stretchy and smooth .
Oh, and the gas mask...we wear those from time to time during our training exercises, along with the whole rubber gloves, boots, and plastic body suit get-up gear.
The university isn't also that bad, although i still miss the first year. The second one is... dull.
As for Your job training - cool. Back at the factory, i only wore a pair of safty gloves when washing the brushes in boiling water after the work. They were heavy, uncomfortable and stiff, but putting my hands in the hot water tube without them would probably leave my hands... fleshless :3.
