SilverJimmy What do u do when it turns out that everything u believed in, everything you have ever cared about, was actually a lie?

I need some inspiration here cause I'm a bit stumped. I need to make a costume. It's easiest If you just assume it's for Halloween. The costume is to be of a made up super hero called "American Legion". Think Captain America here. But I really do not want to wear tights, I want it to look cool rather than silly, if at all possible. For what it's worth, I do know how to sew and expect to be doing some construction. I am just at a total loss on whAt the costume should look like. Anyone got any ideas??
Fucking Vista. I really wish more games were made for Mac, I'd ditch this last PC altogether. But, alas, I still like my PC games. Anyhow, so, I have two hard drives in my PC, one is the "boot" drive with the OS on it and the other is for everything else. Or, that is how I, foolishly, thought it was. But, I'm getting ahead of myself.
A few days ago my PC started locking up on me after about a minute of use. Then would eventually go to BSOD if I was patient enough to wait for it. So, tonight I started pulling hardware and connections and reseating everything, figuring something was making Windoze unhappy. As due course for this happy process, I disconnected the non-essential "data" drive. With my now-minimal-hardware configuration, I reboot.... to an error message saying it couldn't find some Windows loader...? Buh? Long story... errr... long but not as long as it could be, it turns out some of the files required to boot, part of the boot manager, were installed to the fraqqin other drive!!! So Stupid. So, the whole purpose of having a sep. OS drive is now for not, BOTH drives are requisite to boot. Did I select this fun option during install? NO. FRAK YOU WINDOWS VISTA!!!
Disclaimer: I think this might be a side effect of having accidentally hooked up the data drive on the first SATA channel. This is totally a guess, though. WTF do I know of SATA channels? I'm too old for this shit.
The upside: it's now a little after 2am, and I've written this diatribe from my PC. Of course, it's still in "bare bones" mode AND, despite many attempts with bcdedit, it STILL requires the second drive to boot. But, it works. No more lockups. So, tomorrow I get to work through reinstalling hardware bit by bit until I find the problem child. Oh yeah, good times.
I better stop, I can tell I'm turning you on.

My new favorite morning/afternoon drink on hot days, you ask?
Strong dark roast coffee (2-3 servings worth of Fair Trade, organic coffee in a press with about 2/3 of a servings worth of water) poured over about 2 scoops of a good vanilla ice cream. Stir until ice cream dissolves and coffee is nice and cool.
Oh yes. It sugar-cream-coffee-tastic!!
I actually don't seem to have a crash from it, could be all the fat in the ice cream somehow balancing out the sugar. Or maybe I've just been lucky.
Oh, and don't forget to come to this TONIGHT:
