UGH

Ok so my windows install got corrupted. Apparently the hal.dll file was bad or missing. So a little research points to 2 things, that i either have a bad or missing hal.dll, or i have a bad or missing boot.ini.
The most direct solution is to unzip the hal.dll from the xp cd onto your computer into the windows/system32 folder through the Recovery Console. Easier said than done as i haz ACCESS DENIED to my windows folder. Well shit. So another advice that "looked" to work was to install windows into a different folder, then move over the correct files to the old windows folder since you can access these files through reg windows. I must have not done it right, as it was supposed to prompt me to choose whether to install over the old installation or choose a new directory.
it didnt.
it installed over the old directory.
everything in my documents and desktop are lost now as it was overwriten. no more pics, no more itunes library, no more random notes i write myself on my desktop.
gonna try to see if a file recovery prog will work but it looks like im shit outta luck.
So lesson of the day, either backup your desktop files and my document files, or make sure to keep them NOT in those folders. As if you do try to reinstall windows, you might screw yerself like i did.

My love for the B list

So last night i got to watch something ive been gitty about for months. I finally got The Machine Girl from netflix. Im a big fan of over the top campy B movies. I cant help it, its in my blood. This movie is an over the top revenge flick with over the top gore.
A schoolgirl loses her brother to the yakuza's son and his deranged gang and family. After trying to get revenge she gets caught, gets tortured, and gets her arm cut off. Luckily, she escapes and has some nice car mechanics attach a mini gun to her stump so that she can proceed to exact revenge.
This movie is simply amazing. Sure the effects are out there, and the voice acting (English dubbed since its a japanese movie) is horrible but the shear absurdity of some of the shit that goes on is classic. And seriously, how can you not laugh at a ninja that gets annihlated by a chaingun? Make a note, this movie is not for the faint of heart. There is def gore and violence, even if it campy, it can be a lil gruesome at times.
But if you can stomach the gallons upon gallons of blood, youll be treated to angry japanese schoolgirls with guns for arms, modern day yakuza gangs using ninjas (if they dont in real life, i have no idea wtf they are thinking), and did i mention, DRILL BRA?????
And if yer up for it, make sure to see my trinity of holy grail of movies, the Evil Dead series.
Also, cocks.

Hell freezes over...
