(no subject)

So, I have my computer back. I was kind of hoping to return it, but they couldn't find anything wrong with the hardware, so I'm stuck with it.

I currently have it up and working, but the hard drive with all of my stuff saved on it still has a corrupt OS, so I'm running off the other HD. Which means I have nothing on it.

I'm in the process of reinstalling programs and whatnot, and I have a question. What's that program you can use to extract .rar files? The first one that always comes to mind for me is WinRar, but that's the stupid one you have to pay for. What's the better free one again?

Also, I'm looking for an enclosure for my second HD so that I can get the stuff off of there. So far all the stores I've gone to only sell boxes with IDE connections and my HD has a SATA connection. It seems I'm going to have to buy the box online, which kind of sucks because I kind of want to be able to look the thing over before I buy, and also, I don't want to wait on shipping. Anyone know some good online computer stores that ship to Canada?

Random Update

So yes, Sweet Charity is now closed for bidding. In total we raised $10,821.22 USD, $9,033.82 of which has already been paid. I personally went for $31.99 which makes me very happy (more than last year!). It's also official, I'm going to be making a Supernatural vid, so expanding my vidding horizons! Within 2 months I'll have finished vids in 3 different fandoms!
Now, I just need to *watch* Supernatural :P I've seen the first season and it was great, but it didn't grip me so much that I felt the need to watch the eps as they air. Mostly I prefer marathons over weekly eps. Luckily my room mate has them all downloaded so I don't have to worry about that.

Non-fandom related.
-I have a midterm tomorrow, that I *sooo* haven't been studying for. I've been bored all afternoon, but still haven't studied at all. (And I wonder why I fail things)
-I dropped some courses (nooo way was I going to be able to pass them, also, I'm switching programs and don't actually need the courses I dropped, so I feel no shame), and now I have way more "free" time, so I'm going back to working part time. Because I had gone a couple months between working, I have to go and sign all that lovely paper work again, and surprise surprise, I got a raise! I didn't even ask for it, but they gave me a $2 raise! That's pretty big for me, since I normally get like a $.50 raise when I return, not a $2 one! You know, it may not be the best job, but they really treat me well. :D
-I'm going to be moving in like a month. I can't believe that the school year is coming to a close. Also, it seems like it's been waaaayyyy more than a year since I've been in China.

Supernatural

So, a few months ago I went on a Supernatural binge and finally watched the show. I like the show, but was too obsessed with SGA and Numb3rs to let myself be pulled into another fanodm.

Except now I have to make an SPN vid, and well, I just read Journey's End by laniew1 and really want to read some Supernatural fic (never mind that I have a to read list more than half way into the triple digits).

I *know* there are SPN fans on my flist, anyone want to rec something for me to read? Dean's my favourite character, I'm a slasher (If you couldn't tell from my LJ :P but actually I wouldn't say no to some gen) and have nothing against incest fic (see Numb3rs ;)

Also, on a completely unrelated note:
I have the cutest most cuddliest cat in the world.
That is all.
