  • Eating: sweetcorn

Man do I hate Virgin, but my dad won't change it. I guess I'm lucky that I'm having to leech from an empty house next door even though I'm not really supposed to but oh well, that's Virgin's loss for being so shit and taking too long to restore our internets even though we paid the bills already.

Anyway, ugh, birthday. It was OK I guess, I just chilled and watched loads of Britain's got talent, rofled hard at that guy who thinks he's Gene Kelly; and got loads of money rather than open presents and spent some on much needed ink cartridges and such. Things should really look up when the kids are back in school and we can go and spend the day in Thorpe Park. That Saw ride looks wicked. It's a bit awkward when you have a birthday within school holidays actually. :(

I'm probably just tired, I've been taking a tremendous task of transferring tons of VHS shit I want to keep onto DVDs so I can finally get rid of most of these goddamn tapes. I really want to recycle them but our town sucks with a capital S when it comes to recycling things. :/ As for most movies I may as well buy the newer DVDs, it's not like I can ever correct the quality of a horrid pirate tape.

Thanks for all your birthday wishes and thanks to ~Alu87 and ~Rainefall especially for the giftart ^^;

Happy belated birthday!

I only have a small pile of Videos left, which I've tried to find a way to record to DVD but some of them are really copyright blocked, even if you stick a bit of tape on the square shaped hole! The only stuff I have now I can't buy on DVD anywhere, though.

I really wish there was a good VHS recycling system set up, clearly no one wants them anymore and they're swamping the car boot sales.

One time I had to chuck a shitload of Friends VHSs straight in the bin because we have a really hard time selling them in my charity shop; seems that only a lot of documentary stuff actually sells. Not that Friends was any good of a show anyway but it annoys me on just how much we throw away.

Yeah, there's probably enough Friends videos floating about that you could stack them to the moon. Anything like that especially that can be easily obtained on DVD should be made easier to recycle, otherwise we're gonna have entire landfills of them.

There's at least two ways to do it - one is to use a thing called a Dazzle which connects a VCR to a PC [provided you have some fancy TV tuner stuff] and rips with software that supports it; or there's what I'm currently doing, borrowing a DVD recorder and hooking it all up with my TV and VCR etc, and I'd recommend the latter.

Oh and I hope you have an awesome 21st for next month mate :D

I hear that everyone's entitled to their own opinion. So in my opinion, your opinion is wrong.
