A hot tip about laptop batteries.

every so often, 2 or 3 month or so, drain the battery then recharge it, this doesn't affect how much power it can hold but does re-calibrate the controller chip in the battery so you can use all the available capacity.

As a matter of fact, my original laptop battery was made in China except for the battery cell, which was made in Korea.

I'm not sure where my current battery is from, but it's been working fine since I got it.

A new strap for my acoustic, strings for my 12-string acoustic, and some picks. Also picked up Mockingjay & Joyland.

I ordered the astro boy movie on Blu-ray from amazon.ca on Monday, just picked it up today.

tried to order a desoldering station but it got auto cancelled so I ordered a different one and the same thing happened, 66% fail rate for online shopping, still waiting for the money to come back into my account.

Doctor Who DVDs, and a poster. It's a really cool poster too. It has all the Doctors 1-11. Oh, and I also found some Pocky, which I haven't had in awhile. I love my Wal-Mart. ^u^
You're not a joke, you fit right in!
So shake it off, and give a grin. Don't be afraid to stand your ground! Crazy, noisy BIZARRE Town!

A cheap but very pretty green pen. (I like the colors green and black a lot at the moment.)
I joined this forum in late 2013 when I was 15 going on 16. Ignore my oldest posts, they embarrass me so much that I've considered permanantly leaving the forum more than once. I've grown out of my fangirling phase over Black Jack, Atom and Uran ages ago but the memories still embarrass me at times... :unsure: Though, I try to be more open-minded about it and accept it as an "interesting stage of my life". :tezuka:

Xenoblade Chronicles for the Wii. So far, it's an interesting game from what I've played of it.

Actually, it's more like blue-green and not dark green like Atom's pants. :) Not sure how to describe it.
