Long weekend. I wolnt go into it here.

My replacement DVD drive came, and I now have it installed. It looks a bit strange in my laptop case, namely because the door is totally different, and doenst fit in the curve of the case (something I may look into doing this weekend is switching out the doors), nor is it the same gray/black color as the rest of my case. But it Works, and thats what matters. Install was relativly painless, expcept for one jumper problem and the realization that yes, my case really was bent in the fall it took two weeks ago.

Overall, this has been an excelent system, dispite its problems (the nvidia centeric gaming world out there not is helping matters), and I still may go with a dell the next time I buy a laptop. Its showing its age, but its been good to me, and I think its got at least another year, if not longer, life left in it, assuming nothing else breaks or burns out on it.

Oy. So anyway. Its finals week, and I'm sort of sitting on my thumbs till thursday when BOTH of my finals are. I got to exempt one of them, but that wasnt a big deal. Still, two finals on one night suck ass.

I need to continue to work on my site redesigns. Nightmare still looks a little hokey, primarily due to the background and table combinations, not to mention the whole centered table thing which is bugging me more and more. But the backend its running is wonderful, perfect for what I needed. Still have a few fics I need to get up, but those are going to require some major editing to get into chapter form.

Next on my list is the REST of my site, which desperately needs a redesign. Any ideas would be apreciated.
