Over the weekend I found out that it’s possible to set DVD players so they can play DVDs regardless of the Region-type. I always thought it was a technical limitation that kept us from watching European DVDs. Apparently it’s just companies trying to screw us over.
Anyhow, now I’ve got Spaced on DVD after watching not-quite-legal versions for so long.
In other news we have snow here now. I was quite liking not having it. And of course this city doesn’t know how to drive in the snow anymore, so I have to leave early for work. Winter blows for another reason today.
I wrote this on MSN to Kip just moments ago and didn’t want to let if fade away. So now I’m putting it here:
“And now you’re gone. Woe to this fickle atmosphere of life. Mine eyes weep for the lack of beauty they see, but my ears know all the colors of the rainbow. Ere there was a planet, the souls of the damned laughed at my misfortune and called me the Mother of All Fools.”
In other news, I ordered T-Shirts from this website recently and one of them wasn’t in stock and the guy actually called me. As awesome as it was for him to do that for some Internet customer in another country I was at work so I told him I call him back. But my depression-fuelled procrastination and forgetfulness (plus after a while I lost the number) meant I never got around to it. But then I got a package with all the shirts anyway! Thanks the guy who runs that site!
And finally, a lesson in PDR Computers that you will never need to know:
Years ago I had a computer made up of bits and pieces from other computers that had died. I called it the Frankencomputer. Around this time I started using the term Computron to refer to it.
Eventually I upgraded the thinking bits of the machine, but kept the stuff like the keyboard, mouse and monitor. I figured I was taking the brains out of a zombie and putting it into another zombie to create a SuperZombie, so that is what I called that computer. It’s official title was Computron V.
I’ve since replaced the mouse (with a SpongeBob one) and have a new(er) keyboard, I think. And this year I upgraded my computer and it became Computron X. And now, as of today or yesterday or something I have a new monitor. I described it as the Superzombie giving up the ghost, so Computron X shall be called: The Ghost.
Thus, I am cool.
At no point did I give you permission to read this sentence. You just went ahead and did it. But I don’t mind. Not really.
There is nothing that makes me madder than an atomic maddening machine being pointed at my face. That really gets me angry.
Cannibalism is the most efficient form of eating other humans. I’ve tried other ways and they just don’t work as well.
Just because loud is a word that means loud, doesn’t mean that the word itself is loud. It can be spoken softly.
Someday people will have revenge on the planet. Until that time comes, we’ll just have to put up with it.
This is the last part of this post. I know this, because I wrote it.
