RE: Xhonzi

Geez, out of everything I wrote, this is what you pick up on? I dunno. To be honest, I'm surprised I even need to explain it.  Most of it's right there in the title:

Semi-Annual:  Twice a year

Sale:  When items cost less

And it's a really, really, really big deal.  Rather than the usual setup of nicely-organized sets, bras and panties are arranged in bins on tables, marked down to exceptionally low levels, and there's a huge free-for-all.  I've heard people save up for months in anticipation for the SAS.  From what I've seen of it in the past, it's pretty crazy.  But this is the first time I'll really be in the thick of it, so, hmm, not really sure what to expect.  Don't think I've ever happened to be around a Victoria's Secret in the first couple of days of SAS.  It might be its own Black Friday.

If you get the part, what type of face should we look out for?

And what's wrong with it? ;-)

Okay. I've had a terrible week. I had to spend over $600 yesterday to get my car fixed, which is money I can't afford. I had to make a big withdrawal from my savings account.  And now my computer is not functioning (again) either.  Specifically its backlight is out, so now I can't see the screen.  I really can't afford a new computer right now, so I'm attempting to (very quickly) figure out a temporary, cost-effective solution.  When my roommate and I were at Goodwill, we saw some very, very cheap flatscreen monitors, which, were, of course, gone by the time I realized I would need one.

Sooooo, my question is, is it possible to use an HDTV as an external monitor for a laptop.  And, if so, what kind of cable patching would I need to do?  A swift response if possible would be so, so, so greatly appreciated.  I have my final round entry for the Who Reviews the Reviewers contest due soon, and I'm going to be out of town starting a week from now to do crew work on a film, so I have to get it done this week. :(

Hi Gaffer, sorry about your week. You can use an HDTV as a monitor. Your laptop will have a port for a regular VGA monitor cable (with blue ends) and many HDTVs have this port as well. If yours doesn't get back to us.

Or any of the following that both your laptop and TV support:

Laptop      TV
-----------------------

DVI    ->    DVI
DVI    ->    HDMI
HDMI ->    HDMI
DisplayPort->HDMI

I've used all of them at some point in time.

The eclipse will not be visible from North America but viewers in eastern Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, and the western tip of Australia will be able to get the best view of it.

Eclipse tease.

I've recently been experiencing a strange feeling of impending dread, as if something awful is going to happen but I can't quite put a label on the dog.

I felt the same a week ago, but it's passed. It's actually a big part of depression. Depression can make you feel guilty, sad, and it can make you feel dread.

I used to be depressed all the time, now I rarely get depressed, but when I do it's horrible.

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

I don't feel depressed, well not yet.

Though hopefully it goes without saying (but here I go anyway) I'm glad you don't get depressed as often as you did and best of luck keeping up the happy stats :-)

Getting depressed makes me depressed.  I don't even mean that as a quip.  That seems to be the worst part of depression.  It seems to start a sequence of events that reinforce the depression.  Unlike hunger, which leads to eating, which leads to relief from the hunger.

Depression is a part of who I am. As a musician, it's usually my muse. It sounds cheesy, but I'm a song writer. Taking away one of my ticks, takes away a piece of my soul.

''[Depression] sometimes gives me a quantity of creativeness. Art doesn't work without pain; art also exists for compensating pain." - Till Lindemann

 

Luckily, I'm not suicidal like some people get. I really enjoy living, I just prefer the quality of life to be top.
