Is it madness?

So I have a tumblr now, and I've been having some fun reading it and such. I much prefer LJ, but I like that it's an extra source of fandom stuffs. Sometimes I see spoilers for things I'm currently watching but am behind on, or for things that I want to watch later, but I just scroll past and it's not a big deal.

But I started following a blog a couple of weeks ago that has soured me a bit on the experience. Someone decided to post a lovely graphic I think out of a Saw movie with "humorous" text. I don't even remember why I followed said person in the first place, but I'm not following them anymore because if she thinks that's funny I don't want to see other things that she finds funny. I won't judge people who like the Saw movies, I know it's just fiction and there is a puzzle aspect to them that is interesting. That's fine.

But I can't stand suffering AT ALL and so every year I would try avoiding the tv as much as possible so I wouldn't have to see those stupid previews because they really, really bother me. (Death in general I'm ok with, it's torture and suffering that I can't handle.)

This post really has no point other than I'm upset because now I can't get that stupid picture out of my head because someone thought that shit was funny.

Also, the thing was using a music lyric from a song I like. It's going to ruin that song for me because you know what I'm going to think of when I hear that song now? THAT FUCKING PICTURE. Grah!

This is one of those times never forgetting anything is a bad thing. -_-'

So yesterday I finished sculpting the fingers for my male figure. I put them in the oven, and less than 3 minutes later I'd pulled them out because they were burning. I haven't burned anything in ages. I realize fingers are delicate but I've baked lots of things things just as delicate with no problems. Maybe the temperature gauge got bumped and I didn't notice? The fact that they went from raw clay to smoking burned was a rather fast escalation. So I have to redo those, which was annoying because they were a pain to do the first time. :P

Other annoying news, our internet seems to be mostly out. We're getting 50% and up packet loss in the connection, so most of the time it's not working. Scottie and I both wanted to do things online and it wasn't really working. We called our internet provider who said everything looked peachy on their end, so it was probably something wrong with our modem. He said we'd have to bring ours in to a store to switch it out of that was the case, but of course this was after the stores had closed. Scottie is going to be so annoyed if there isn't actually something wrong with the modem and the problem is actually something else.

I decided to go on Windows and play Skyrim since I was too frustrated to sculpt and I've been wanting to play Skyrim. First off, Steam tells me that the internet isn't working and it can't connect. To which I say, I know, so play offline. I click the button saying I want to go offline. It then tells me that it can't connect, and to go online to this handy webpage to figure out what's wrong. How exactly am I supposed to go online to figure out why I can't go online again? And why do I have to go online to tell it I want to play offline? e_e I normally have it in offline mode, I'd just updated it recently and hadn't switched it back.

I also have a program that lets me use a PS3 controller on my computer. Apparently that won't work at all without an internet connection. e_e Whhhhhy?

Anyway, I finally got connected so I could tell Steam to go offline, and then I started a new game since I haven't played in so long. After sitting through the opening movie... it crashed at the character creation screen. It had crashed there the other night when I'd tried to play it, and that's the reason I'd updated everything to begin with. I'm assuming there's an issue with one of my mods, but I am too tired to figure out where the problem is.

So all I've successfully done with Skyrim tonight is install the SKCE stuff I'd downloaded a few nights ago, only to get told again that Silverlock was out of date (wtf the thing I downloaded should have been up to date?), have the game start up anyway for some reason, and have it crash in the same way that it did before I updated anything.

Anyway, I'm annoyed. Probably not making much sense because I'm currently about to pass out. So tired. Time to see if this will post!
