gotta bounce

[lauralh]

Is it just me, or does a DVD of some dude playing a video game sound like the most boring thing ever?

So the job they want to place me at is like, totally the same job I interviewed for in January or so and never ever heard back from. Is this good or bad? we'll see.

Afterwards I bought crap at UO (sunglasses, underpants and a blue velvetish jacket) but no messenger bag. Struck out at the Gap too. What's the deal? Why can't I just find a goddamn messenger bag that isn't big enough to carry a 24-pack in? The smallish bags are just madeover purses, the real bags are too farkin' huge. I should have gone to old navy, perhaps.

On the plus side there were some rilly cute boys at the Gap. I wondered if there were any cute boys at A&F, but there weren't. Meaning the store had only Asian girls in there. (Heads up, Steve!)

Then Ana called me on the way home, which was nice.

edited to add this link which should remind everyone why Bush sucks.

these are the best, forget those wimpy department store ones. 4 sizes, you pick the colors and features, and they're tough as hell.

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

thanks, but that's still bigger than I want. Plus like, you have to pay extra for the cell phone compartment.

i'll probably just get something like this (http://shop.store.yahoo.com/ampride/uspmebag1m1.html).

Order one online.

Of course, that Guardian article went in my news item archive (http://www.apotheon.com) online.

it's definitely not for everybody...

but, the game's graphics are beautiful.

and the catch is... to see all these graphics, you have to advance from level to level. The game's difficulty is so hard, that your average joe, won't be able to get that far. I'm only on level 3 of 9 and i think and I'll probably never get to 4.

So the DVD is cool in that it allows you see someone beat the game which in and of itself is a feat, while also being able to take in the cool visuals.

i'm sure that didn't sell you on the idea... but I felt like it needed explanation :)

Ugh, why do you force me to open links in a new window? I assure you, I known how to use my browser's features.

we're all little dictators in our hearts

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

it's my way of making you open as many windows as possible.

Heh, the funny thing was, I had *intended* to open a new window, using command-shift-click to open the link BEHIND the current window. But, there's apparently a bug in the browser where a target new window makes it open in FRONT, regardless of my shift-holding.

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

maybe you should get a two button mouse.

[netropy.livejournal.com]

1. How would a two button mouse solve the problem? I can do everything a two button mouse can do with control-click, and since one hand is already on the mouse/button and the other hand is already in position on the keyboard, a two button mouse isn't even faster than control-click. Accordingly, why would I *want* a two button mouse?
2. Command-shift-click is faster than using a context menu.
3. How would I even use a two button mouse, considering I only have one finger on my right hand was using my laptop on my couch while watching TV?
4. Even using the context menu to attempt to open behind, it opens in front, so a two button mouse would not solve the problem.
5. I already own a two button mouse. It actually has five buttons. And a scroll wheel. But I hate scroll wheels.
6. *Regardless*, I know how to use the features of my browser, and sometimes I want to open in front, sometimes I want to open behind, and sometimes, gasp, I want to open in the same window. The options are there for a reason.

Yeah, see, that was my subtle way of saying "maybe you shouldn't use a mac". But you missed that.

[hotcrab.livejournal.com]

an enema might help you get that old mac se out of your ass

Re: we're all little dictators in our hearts

[apotheon.livejournal.com]

Actually, I do new windows all the time with my links. I get praised for it regularly, in fact. I wish more people did the same. Thanks.

messenger bag (http://www.cafeshops.com/dubbeautiful.3933338)

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

that doesn't have a cell phone compartment either, does it?

[drisrael.livejournal.com]

no, but don't you have one built into your pelvis?

great icon, btw.

[hotcrab.livejournal.com]

that would be more attractive if it wasn't quite so yellow

[aubkabob.livejournal.com]

howdee and such!!! my dearest little littledevi sent me in your direction, saying i was moving into your neck of the woods..

well, i'll actually be down in the vancouver/portland area, but am planning to spend lots of delicious time up in seattle!!

*emphatic waving*

[drisrael.livejournal.com]

the vancouver/portland area covers quite a bit of land.

[hotcrab.livejournal.com]

she means vancouver washington
which is just north of the washington/oregon border

Re:

[aubkabob.livejournal.com]

lol.. just a few square miles..

actually, specifically, vancouver.. somewhere in the ghetto, or so i'm told?

[hotcrab.livejournal.com]

wonderful. the area really needs more girls who wear geeky glasses.

Re:

[aubkabob.livejournal.com]

yes, if i remember correctly from the last visit i had out there, there seemed to be an abundance?

How small of a messanger bag are you looking for? The vender fair should be coming back to my school this week and I can scope some out for you, they're usually pretty cheap. (They also have the $1 book vender too, yay!)
