It Only Took Me About 8 Hours

I finally got this laptop to shut down nice and pretty again. It was working fine, I just didn't like seeing the text scrolling when it shut down. Now I once again see the cool looking Ubuntu splash bar showing me it's powering off (image below). I'd tell you how but it's really boring. I suppose some people would think of better things to do on a Friday night - but for me - that was fun. To top things off I left the light on in the kitchen as a mini-celebration just because it's Friday night and watched Battlestar Galactica.
