WOO HOO YES. My PS2 is working again, for no forseeable reason. XD XD Maybe it's cuz I carried it in my bag from Bowen to N Van, and it got jiggled around and that fixed the lens or whatever wasn't working? I dunno. I don't care. Hilariously, it started working exactly 4 days after it broke, just like last time. Dude, wtf. o.o Anyway, this saves me $50+ to get it repaired... it seemed silly to spend money on getting it repaired or getting a new PS2; at this juncture, it'd almost make more sense to just save up for a PS3 since I'll prob want one eventually (FFXIII...). But no worries yet. Hopefully it'll work for another year or so, at least. Or, if it decides to break again, maybe it'll just start working again after 4 days. ^^;;;;

Anyway, heading up to Parkgate Library in a bit to study. I'm starting to panic a tad. I still have 2 weeks, but I'm stuck on how everything will fit together. And I feel like I need more general background info on gender in the media. I hope I have enough to fill 10-12 pages - I cut Firefly out at my professor's suggestion, since she thought it'd be too long with it, but I don't know how much I have to say on FS... a fair amount, I guess, between secondary source quotes and references to the actual series. Prob is, though, everytime I think of something interesting to say about the show, I open a book or essay on FS and see that someone else has said the same thing. -_- Dammit, how am I supposed to form my own argument if what I thought was my own argument has already been argued by everyone else? *sigh* Least I'll have lots of academic quotes to back my argument up...

Goddamned fucking piece of SHIT. My PS2 isn't working, again. A friend was going to come over tonight and we were going to play FFXII, and dammit but I was looking forward to it. Booted it up, and it's not working. PS1 games work fine, but PS2 games and DVDs don't work at all, least not the ones I've tried. I get a sorta clunking noise, and it says no data. I was watching a DVD on it this afternoon, and it worked fine. I'm really pretty fucking pissed off. Last time it happened it righted itself in a few days, so hopefully it will again, but I suspect that it's on its way out... I don't want to buy a new one, and I certainly don't want a PS3. Too expensive, no games I want yet.

Okay, fuck Sony and their fucking pieces of god-damned CRAP. THIS is why I am not buying a PS3 until the price goes WAY down. I was just happily playing FFXII, a pretty rare event these days, when my PS2 started making funny clanking sort of noises. I turn it off and, thinking that maybe it's the fan, try blowing some compressed air at the fan to clean it out. Didn't exactly do anything and I suspect it made it WORSE, because then I set up my PS2 and it <i>won't read discs anymore</i>. Clanking noise seems to be better (starts making sounds when I turn it on, then calms down), but since I can't PLAY anything... hardly a success.

FUCK.

*goes to find PS2 troubleshooting guides online* I don't want to pull this thing apart myself, but hell if I know whether or not I have a warranty... even if I did, it's probably long expired.

Stupid Sony. *sighs*
