True Grit
The movie was good. I never saw the original but i liked this one. Jeff Bridges was excellent. The dialog was witty, caustic, and abrupt. I didnt care for the ending, but i guess that for the time period it is true to what prolly would have happened to her and him. Good stuff. Im looking forward to watching The Social Network. I also enjoyed Inception, but i saw it many months ago and cant really give it a more thorough breakdown than saying go see it. Thriller, mind fuck ending that you expect, but a good story none the less. Love the Decaprio Memes.
Typical USMC #1
Today we showed up at 530am, for a class that started at 8am. The class is 8 miles in the direction that I had to drive past to get to the place to meet up to ride the bus to. The classes were 3 hours long. At the end of which, no busses showed up for my group. A few people had to ride back to the initial meeting spot, to get vehicles to come back to pick us up to take us back to the intial meeting spot, so that i could then drive past the area which we had the classes in to go home.

Computer Pains
I got home a bit early today, and i had the idea in mind to work on my computer a bit. Small backstory, i built this computer about 3 weeks ago, everything worked fine at first, but the 60g SSD hard drive that i bought crashed a week later. I take it back to fryes and get a new one, same exact one.
The problem comes into light as i was using that drive to run Windows 7, so that it would run quickly, and it would have a 20 sec boot time, from on button to usability. Once the SSD drive crashed, i had to load windows onto the other hard drive in there to make it usable while i procrastinated taking the other one back. So i finally get the new one and put in the computer, but now im wary of it. I dont want to reinstall windows on it just yet and then it crashes and i have a huge headache or reinstalling OS's on diff hard drives. So i put warcraft on it, and play on it for a week, kinda like a stress test. Well it works fine.
So i get home a bit early today, and i wanted to move windows over to the ssd drive from the other one. So i look up how to image a drive, and realize that its confusing after i download the image software that the tech guys like the most clonezilla. I download it, and it doesnt work for me, or i dont work for it. Either or. So i format the SSD that had WOW on it, and install windows 7. If you have ever done a fresh install, you know that you have about 60 new updates for windows that all need to get downloaded. If you have never done a fresh install, imagine those weekly downloads you do for windows (or should be doing) and then you have to do them all at once. Well i didnt want to do that, so i thought it would be prudent to just copy over the files i had from the old hard drive that already had all the updated windows software on it. Most of it went over smoothly, but somethings you just cant move cause you dont have permission. So 80% of it moved but i didnt know what didnt! So whatever, ill just update the stuff im missing and it wont take so long. I formate the other hard drive to get rid of windows on there so i can use it for backups. I run the updater.....unknown error has occured in your update, cannot update any of your essential 45 updates.
FUCK!
Put the windows disk back in, RE-Install windows. It freezes out halfway thru, im busy watching how people will never age on NOVA and i come back an hour later and its bar still hasnt moved. Reset button, bam. Take 2 or 3. This one goes well. All the stuff is going everything is done. But sitting next to my new Windows folder in /computer is this windows.old - This is 13 gigs of crap just sitting there. So, i toss that shit in the Recycling bin. {You need permission from TrustedInstaller} But thats me! Back to google, some guy has the same problem and hes told to go into properties and security and advanced and change the owner of the file to me. I do that. Delete!
{You need your permission to do that}
/facepalm.
P.S. Diskcleaner too care of it, ty forum gurus. Now im reinstalling all my drivers and shit.
TIPS.
1. www.Ninite.com for all your initial startup shit you always download.
2. Save your bookmarks for your browser in gmail, cause your browser gets tanked.
3. Dont lose your software disks.
Bugsy.
