beep beep

I got my new laptop! I kind of love it alot, but I am having some technical issues with and around it. I originally wanted to get a notebook with an internal mic and webcam so that I could start making videos...my friend Saire over at Full of Words inspired me, as it were! However, for some reason when I record videos with the preinstalled software, the audio is always really low. LIKE REALLY LOW. Like, Zeb and I made a video of him singing the intro to "Miss New Booty" at the top if his lungs while I repeated the word "beep" over and over again and you can barely hear us low. It works fine with Skype...the people I've been speaking to on there have had no problem hearing me, which indicates to me that it is the software I am using, but I am not entirely sure how to fix it or what other software there is out there for makin' vidz on the ole compy. So yeah, that is proving to be problematic.

Another issue I am having is not so much with the notebook as it is with my router. For some reason, my desktop cannot even be powered ON when I try to access the internet with my notebook, and vice versa. They are both capable of accessing the internet, obviously, but just not at the same time. I am sure it is fixable, I just don't possess the computer know-how to do it myself, so tomorrow I am gonna call linksys and see what I need to do to FIX IT.

Oh oh, before I go, I bought some stuff off etsy from a user called a Passion For Fashion. I made myself a necklace today:

Pretty stinkin' cute, right? It's a tree just in case the image is too grainy for you to discern what the pendant is of....or if you are too distracted by my chipped polish or blinding mug.

Okay, I need to get to bed. I start training at my new job tomorrow and I need to get up early enough to do some laundry and call Linksys and bless my family with my presence.
