Oct. 18th, 2003 11:27 amMen can be so bloody annoying.
Yesterday was James' day off, so we went shopping in the morning and bought some blank DVD's to try out the new burner. We came home in the afternoon, I just sat down to read my flist and mail and James decided he wanted to try burning one then. It's his day off, so I couldn't really say no, I would have done if I'd known he'd be there until 1 in the morning!
The DVD's wouldn't burn, the jobs kept rejecting. But did he look for help online? No he didn't. Just kept trying and wasting discs. Then ( and this will be familiar to you sis ) he tried downloading a dvx file, but the codecs wouldn't work. The problem was James didn't even know what codecs were and when I tried to explain he wasn't listening. I had to go through this with my last computer so I knew what needed doing on a basic level, but no, he knew better. I went to bed in the end and left him to it.
What annoyed me was I really wanted to e-mail someone, plus on a less important level, my discs from NSYNC land had arrived. 6 discs and I couldn't watch :( They don't play on my main DVD for some reason.
This entry sounds so selfish but I hate when I can't get online when I want.
One thing did make me lol yesterday. Kayleigh loves teasing me about liking boybands, because you know she's far too cool to like them. She was watching Crossroads ( and yes, I pointed out the irony of her mocking me when she was watching a Britney movie) when she started complaining about the winamp skin of Chris I'd left on Blue. We were swapping insults as you do, and she went something like 'why him, he's the worst of the lot? JC's the best." and I suddenly remembered that she used to have a *huge* crush on JC years ago. When I stopped laughing I reminded her of that, and she went red saying 'well I was 14, you're nearly 30, I had an excuse' But still, teasing material for months I think *g*
Now I'm off to catch up, but before I go as I couldn't do this yesterday.
Happy belated birthday Chris! I love you for so many reasons and you make me smile every time I see you. Thank you for being you.
