I set up a Windows X P virtual machine on mu Surface Pro 4 purely to play some 16-bit games I played as a kid. Only one of the games I tried so far works properly. Another one technically works, but due to modern CPU clock, it goes so fast it's impossible to play. Everything else just bugs out immediately during boot up, one of which managed to freeze the thing.

I found a Windows 98 disc hidden in my desk drawer a couple months ago. I may try to make a VM with that on my desktop and see if it works any better. Probably won't.

Replacement chargers never last long enough. I'm hoping the one I got this time, since it's actually branded, stays together for a longer time period.

I think I stretched funny, and now the right side of my back around my ribcage hurts. It hurts to move and even breathe. X_X

When you're drawing and playing video games all day, then 5:30pm rolls around and you're like, "Wait, have I eaten anything today?"

I wanted to use my old Nexus 7 for the guitar tuning app, but apparently it finally decided to kick the bucket. I let it charge but it's still not turning on.

Edit: IT LIVES! Apparently it just takes longer to charge now.

I want to update Mo'Creatures but trying to download the latest version only leads to a bright red virus warning page.

My hands are too small and fingers too short to play chords on my acoustic guitar properly.

Upstairs neighbour seem to have decided it'd be a good idea to pick up drumming.


I sure as hell hope this won't become a habit.

Everytime I get a new book I have to reorganize my shelves, whether that be because my OCD demands it or I just need to add the book(s) to a part of the shelf that's full.

Whenever I drink this orange soda, I find it has an odd taste maybe stronger than the orange, and makes me feel slightly but briefly ill after ingesting. When I first started drinking it, I didn't notice it. Now it takes me like a month to get through a 2 liter because I don't find the taste/feeling worth it, but I try to drink it on occasion to not waste what I have already stocked. I don't know what could be causing the issue.

Dropped my phone once too much and now the screen is like half-way popped out.
Might be I could just push it back into place, but I don't really dare to do that. >->'

Easy...

I think I talked about this before, but pretty much all sodas actually taste kind of terrible, but most people don't realise it, and keep drinking it because they're addicted to the sugar inside of it.

If you start to dislike the taste of soda, it means that you, for whatever cause or reason, are loosing that crave for sugar, are now starting to realise just how bad soda actually tastes, because it's soo over-the-top sweet.

Whatever it is, it's most likely a good thing, as it means you're heading towards a healthier diet! c;

Nope. I forgot to mention that it's diet soda. And I know it's not because of the artificial sweetener because I drink others with the same kind in it and have no issue with them.
