Medusariffic Issue 45! December 1, 2009























Okies, to start with, this is just placeholder text so I can get the 3 pics I want in this blog placed right... *Biting my lip as I work*

Second, this is a general outline of this blog entry: Love the covers, Z&P sizes are just right, and Zilvy made me a beautiful golden Amazon.. *Blushing happily*
("One gets great artwork if one starts with high-quality materials." Zilvy told me)
Mention that Eliza makes a wonderfully statuesque maid in her french maid outfit, and that I NEVER forget to wear panties when I wear outfits like that... I choose not to! ;) *Winking*

Medusariffic Issue 44!

Okies, those who know my blog from the last few years are going to be familiar with what I'm about to say:

---BLOG IN PROGRESS---


That being said, here's what I have in mind for this post - an update on my and Zilvy's computers, a brief discussion on Drake's wonderful Medusariffic 44 (of which the above picture is from) and, um... Maybe something else if I can think of anything ;)

Zilvy's computer died too! :(

#$@&!!
This has not been a good month for the DeJewels where computers are concerned... *Grumbling*

Just as I get my new computer up and running, Zilvy's hard drive died Saturday! :(

Her hard drive flashed a "CORRUPT" message as she was working and the result is 1/3 of her hard drive is gone, including a lifetime of e-mail and Yahoo Messenger chat logs..! :(

At least I can send her the chat logs we shared, but that's not much compared to what she's lost from her other friends.. *Sighing* :(

The latest news is a friend managed to reformat the drive and re-install Windows XP, but it's currently "Windows Media Center Edition" :P

Now she'll have to install every program she had, World of Warcraft, Second Life, Yahoo...
Everything. :(

The only thing she managed to partially save are her bookmarks with only the last month lost.

The irony is she was planning to do a backup at the end of this month.. :P
 
So now Zilvy's looking at saving and getting a computer deal like I picked up at the end of September...
 
Please wish us both luck as the computer is our primary means of communication with each other; a lifeline we both cannot do without...

Medusariffic Issue 43 - Halloween Edition!

Boo!

Surprising re-appearance of me aside, my computer works again! (Or rather the new replacement computer works)

Also important to mention is the addition of the cast page wherein you can find profile information for all of "Drake's Girls" as shown in the pages of Medusariffic! *Giggling playfully*

But the most important thing to mention in this blog is Drake's OUTSTANDING Halloween Edition of Medusariffic!  *Bouncing excitedly* :)

Loaded with wonderful vignettes and featuring the entire cast, it's a can't miss treat! (No tricks here, except on K-8 and Ms Tiger *Giggling* ;) )

To illustrate: I direct your attention to the short story of a beautiful purple-haired girl and her Amazon lover spending the night in a creepy, abandoned old house and the fate that befalls them... :D

"Mmmm... I love this pose"

Petra's Computer Died! :(

#$@&!!

I think everyone can figure out what I'm trying to say there... *Grumbling*

My computer died on me Sunday afternoon! *VERY upset* :(


As for what happened, all I know at this point is I turned it on and it booted up normally so I walked off to do other things...
When I returned a half-hour later, the screen was dark and the power button was flashing and my hard drives appeared to NOT be spinning.

Mildly concerned, I held the button until it powered off, and thought I'd just wait a few minutes and power my system back on...

In a word: No.

From that point on, the power refuses to come on no matter what I do (with an admittedly limited amount of computer hardware knowledge)

So here I sit with a 7-8 year old brand new paperweight with 650MB of storage that I can't access...  :P

At this point I'm just hoping my irreplaceable files are intact and able to be accessed when I move my hard drives into external enclosures and hook them up to the new computer I'm certain I'll have to buy.. *Sighing and looking nervous*
(Since the system is so old, they're EIDE drives instead of the newer SATA) :p

This is more than inconvenient because it forces me to dip into my savings that I need to move to Canada to begin my life with Zilvy... *Looking much more nervous about that*

However, my computer is my lifeline to Zilvy on a daily basis, and the only thing holding my sanity together (And you all know how tenuously that's held together..! *Winking* ;) )

Therefore I'll pay a not unreasonable amount for a new system and think of it as an investment on a system Zilvy & I can use together once we're together... *Crossing my fingers*

Wish me luck..!

Medusariffic Issue 41! September 7, 2009

Yay Drake!
*Beaming and bouncing happily*
Not only has Drake given us the first ever Medusariffic Hardbody Competition... (And I think I stand a good chance to win ;) )
And I absolutely LOVE Dee's shirt..! A wonderful pun on Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy..!
(Not to mention that's my favorite answer too! *Giggling and winking* ;) )

But he's also devoted an entire issue to how the ASFR set handles spammers..! *Giggling and clapping happily*

Medusariffic Issue 40 & Zilvy's Medical Results


Okies, first things first:

Welcome to my new blog site!
Those familiar with my old blog on Yahoo 360 (May it rest in peace *sighing* ) will know that my blog usually deals with the latest updates of Drake's Medusariffic, and the occasionally interesting incidents in my and Zilvy's lives.

Medusariffic celebrates it's 40th issue this month! :)
And in true Drake fashion, we see Trish and Elaine discovering that ruby is the traditional marker for a fortieth anniversary..! *Giggling happily* ;)
Also you'll note that as you can see in the above picture, Zilvy & I have an Anime-style adventure with Miss Tiger in this issue! *Giggling happily*

Squeee!
*Beaming happily*
The Naughty Pair swing back into action in a story based on a news report, and a post by Ms. Tiger!


As for Zilvy's real life medical results... *Crossing my fingers, toes, arms and legs*

She's going to see her doctor today to find out the results from the MRI scan she had to test for MS... *Nervous*
I pray for her sake that she does not have MS, but instead has an easily treatable something/anything else.

I'll update this blog tonight when we both find out... %%-

UPDATE:
YEPPIIIEEESSSS!!!
*Beaming and doing a happy dance*
Zilvy's MRI results came back: Zilvy does NOT have MS! *VERY relieved* :D


It's been stressful the last few weeks learning the doctor wanted to test her for MS, and waiting for the results, but learning that not only does Zilvy not have MS, but the test came back negative for any neurological problems and blood clots is a great relief to us both...
Granted, we still don't know why she was having numbness in her toes, but at least we've ruled out a big issue.


And finally, thank you to all of you who have offered your kind words and support for us as we all stressed out over this medical issue...

*Group huggling everyone tightly*
