Hi, Depression

It’s been a while.

I made a gif

So, yeah, I made a gif. Or tried to.

Next step will be: how do I make Tumblr accept my gif.

Next next step will be: how do I make Tumblr accept my gif without reducing it to an ugly blob of pixels

Day by day. Little by little.

Fixing a messed up partition table

Steps to fix a messed up partition table (erroneously destroyed a partition, failed a backup/restore, etc): * Use the gparted live cd. CD. Don’t try fancy stuff putting it on an usb key, it’s lost time. Get out that damn external dvd player from the bottom of the drawer. * Gparted can be used just to get the current state. It’s probably useless for anything non trivial. Run testdisk from a root console. * Testdisk is quite straightforward to use. Choose Intel partition layout (=MBR, the most common), analyse, quick search, and go take a nap. * Once it’s done, select the partitions you want to create among the ones found. * Quit, reboot. At this point, the partition table has been recreated and should be ok. Windows is probably still not booting. * For restoring windows boot, use the windows DVD. Sucks if you have to have to find a DVD writer again, but it will save time in the end. There’s a repair option, you might have to run it two or three times (one to make the partitioning windows compliant, one to set the partition active to the right one, etc).

L’Europe est Prix Nobel de la Paix

Le plus triste, c’est pas qu’on donne le Prix à une personne aussi ridicule. C’est qu’on a trouvé personne d’autre qui le mérite.

Ren

NU’EST’s Ren makes me uncomfortable.

I would probably go for him even though I usually am only interested in girls, and that in itself isn’t really a problem. The problem is that the only reason I like him is his girly features (and clothes. I mean, his pink sneakers and shirts aren’t there by chance).

I usually have zero interest in looking at men, my brain just lacks the necessary functions to determine whether they are pretty or not. Girls can be good-looking, gorgeous, terribly ugly, and everything in between. Guys are just guys. The instinctive evaluation isn’t working on males.

But on Ren, it works. I look at him, and “Oh, pretty !” tilts in my head. I think that every single time, my mind is tricked for a second, so I like him.

Anyway, it’s weird. And I really would have wanted him to be a girl. The world, and especially the music world, needs more badass girls who act like boys.
