My PS3 crashed. Red Blinking Light of Death. Great~
Attempting a blow-dryer trick that doesn't involve taking it apart and is suppose to heatup/re-flow solder that might be cracked and not connecting. A 70% success rate.
I guess I'm not that torn up about my save data. I just don't want to buy a new ps3. If I'm getting anything, it'll be a ps4 but it's not backwards compatible. So I've got this self of games I can't play; not that I'm particularly attached to any of them.

True. Everything is multi-platform these days. I could just get a new PC.
Blow dryer trick didn't work. I'll give it another try later.
The only ps3 games I hadn't finished were Compile Heart games. Aragest War and CrossEdge. I have no intention to replay them. They suck.
I'll take this as a sign to back up any other data. I could be in a bad luck streak of future breakdowns.

Results so far; UK is leaving the EU. MY GOD THIS IS SO TENSE.
EDIT: In other news. Came across this video just now -

I carry a dinosaur in my pocket sometimes.
EDIT2: Now we're staying in the EU!
EDIT3: We're leaving again...
EDIT4: Remaining once again

Eye contact to me was just generally terrifying. My sister once quoted "eyes are the window to the soul" when I was a child and that's how I feel about eye-contact, feels incredibly personal like I'm reading people's personalities and invading their privacy. Doesn't feel like a sensory thing, but maybe I'm misidentifying my feelings there.
I had most of my autistic behaviours beaten out of me as a child (didn't know I was ASD, family considered it misbehaving so punished me, as a result I learned not to act autistic) - eye contact was one of those things I taught myself to do because teachers at school, when telling me off, would say "look at me when I'm talking to you" and get even angrier. Also, business people expect eye contact, so I had to get over myself and just deal with it.
The side effect though is that I'm in denial about being ASD even now. I'm pretty confident that I am normal because I've learned to act normal, but every now and then I do something autistic and I'm like "fuck, why did I do that now I definitely am ASD". Seeing the dinosaur at the start of that video was one of those moments.
EDIT: Leaving the EU for the time being
EDIT2: Oh now we may be remaining
EDIT3: Scratch that. We're out.

Holy crap.
Luckily the 65+ year olds who overwhelmingly won the leave vote will reap the benefits of their decision in 20 years time when all this settles. If they're still alive, that is.
As extreme as this sounds, I think N.Ireland should look into reforming, Scotland should go independent and the Welsh assembly given more power over Wales, so these places can focus on their own development.
As an alternative, it may be a good idea to separate The City of London from the rest of the country, increase the boundaries of it (Canary Warf) and dedicate it as an EU state with strong trade to the UK, operating as its own EU country (currency and all).

Successfully recharged my car's A/C refrigerant. That's one thing off my check list. Except I found a crack in the coolant tank - so that's another problem.
I took apart my ps3, cleaned it out. Did this heat gun thing everyone swears by. Replaced the thermal paste ($12). Put it back together.Still not working. The last thing I can try is to replace the power supply ($15).
edit: Ah hah! It's working again. Dunno for how long. I looked at the power supply again and thought I might not have set it in place right. Readjusted it, and it worked. The order for the new part already went through (it shipped 2 hours before I ordered it, hmmm) but I'll hang on to it anyways just in case.

3:00 AM Confession: When I was a teenager, I would turn off the lights and play the Final Fantasy VII opening cinematics and pretend it was happening around me. I swear I could feel the Cosmos.
