**Sweatdrops.** Of mice and men....

My cute icon was made by donkeykongsong. ^__^ I especially love the picture he used of Alister. At the risk of sounding fangirly, he looks so cute in that shot. X3
The compter is rejecting the optical mouse. .__. If I plug it in while the computer's off, it won't even turn on. And if I take it out, turn the computer on, and try to plug it in then, the computer beeps like it's having a heart attack and tries to freeze up. I called my brother who's a computer whiz and he suggested that maybe the older motherboard of my computer won't support this kind of a mouse, especially since it's made by a company that's not really big. He suggested that I take it back and try a Microsoft or Logitec optical mouse and see if the computer will accept either of those. If not, then we probably have a problem. Meantime, I'm using the old mouse still. I hope Dad can take me back tomorrow and I can try getting the Microsoft mouse I saw at Office Depot. It's two dollars more than this one I got (which was $12.99), but it's either the mouse or my sanity. XD;
I did find the second Double Barrel Saiyuki collection (with discs 3 and 4) for $11.99 at Best Buy. Wowie. X3 That was an awesome deal. **is anxious to start watching it.** I'll probably keep watching with the Japanese voice track. The Japanese voices sound a bit closer to how I'd imagined the characters sounding when I first read the manga and SK's fics (and I did try the English voice track on the movie for comparison). And in addition, there really is less swearing in the Japanese version, plus it doesn't bother me quite as much when it's swearing in a language other than English, since I don't actually have to hear the words. XD;

^^= Yay for Saiyuki 3 and 4! Those were some awesome episodes! ($11.99? O_O Wow, that is a sale!) *pats the English track* XD; I tried the Japanese track a couple of times, and there was by no means anything wrong with any of the voices, I just prefer the English ones. There's something unique about each of their voices...
Funny that you should imagine the Japanese voices when you read my fics, since I was imagining the English ones, myself. XD
