1:32 am	IE sucks (Posting this here because I gotta put it somewhere, and I'd get too may frowns if I used my Myspace blog) I'm breaking away from a research paper to write this, so please forgive my fervor. Why the fuck is MS Internet Explorer STILL the standard for website designers? Goddamnit, it hasn't had an update in five years. Mozilla Firefox is 10,000% better, far more user friendly, infinitely more secure, virtually immune to all spyware, and doesn't crash the OS when some Flash-overloaded site chokes it into submission. But no, you dumbasses out there keep on designing pages that work in IE ONLY, forcing us Firefox users to drop our shields and view the internet through the equivalent of trashy cereal-box 3D glasses because you're too fucking lazy to do any more than the bare minimum of catering to the mindless trogs of LOLville and technically illiterate imbecils who spend hours and hours on those "Bash the monkey, win an iPod" banners, decorate their Myspace profiles with more tasteless, obscene, and poorly cropped pictures than a Hustler Anthology, click on every "View profiles of hot chicks in _YOURTOWNNAMEMISSPELLEDHERE !", and have more of those stupid search toolbars than they do bookmarks (ahem, excuse me, "favorites" as they're called in IE, even though all those programs decide what your "favorite" sites are for you). And although most of us would probably be less proficient on a Mac than Larry the Cable Guy would be on a Soviet MiG fighter, Apple users are growing slowly but surely (at least for those who like to create instead of just surf), and IE ain't exactly their preferred browser. And then there are those adventurous Linux/Linspire souls (those of you who know what that is, you know what's coming), whom I can assure you are about as far off IEs radar as a Humpback Whale is in Weaselsnot, Nebraska. Remember the old old days of Netscape? I remember having to download something called WINSOCK.DLL off Compuserve just so I could use the acutal "World Wide Web" and not a stupid BBS-like portal way back in January of 1996. I remember when you could easily disable popups by turning off Javascript, and the most irritating parts of the internet were clunky frames and poorly animated GIFs. Then came IE, which linked your browser (pre-packaged!) to the nerve center of your computer, allowing all those wonderful adware, spyware, and the technicolor myriad of the digital pathogen family right through that flimsy curtain of swiss cheese that Microsoft and CNN oh-so-frequently refer to as "Vulnerabilities", for which patches are released more often than Strong Bad answers emails. Speaking of those patches, how interesting it is how so many of them apply to both the browser AND the OS! Imagine if you had to brush your teeth not only because cavities could rot your teeth out, but could also clog your arteries, give you ulcers, make your colon burst into flames, drench your lungs in phlegm, made your feet fall off, and transmit all your knowledge and memories to some marketing agency in Guatemala just before turning your brain into deadberry shortcake. Damn, with friends like this, who needs a firewall? Honestly, I've got no problem for the most part with Microsoft. There are other far worse monopolies out there (*COUGHadobeCOUGH*), and they do make a pretty good video game system (for without, there would be no Red vs. Blue). But when you ARE a monopoly and you turn out shit just because no one else can stand up to you, you deserve to fall flat on your ass onto a horde of pissed off rabid porcupines. And so does everyone else who caters to the stupid masses. Current Mood: FRAK! (Comment on this)

1:35 am	I don't know why the hell I'm posting this... You are... Jack Bauer! Wow. Either you lied heavily, or should be employed in the MI5 rather than those idiots who leave their laptops lying around in taxis. You've re-written the meaning of the word 'stamina', even death cannot stop you, and you have a strange habit of removing other people's body parts directly after shooting them. You also change clothes about six times a day, but since we sometimes see this happening this is not a bad thing. Which type of CTU agent are you? brought to you by Quizilla (Comment on this)

3:14 pm	Deja Vu Too much drama. Too much emotion getting in the way. Too many people not thinking. Too many tangent chased, and none of them fruitful. Too many ghosts and demons lurking in the shadows. Too many loose ends. Too many plot flaws. Too many moles. Too many things that could go wrong. Too much backstabbing. Too much childishness. Just too damn much. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

12:25 am	RED SOX WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Forevermore, the date goes into the New England calendar as an official no-school/no-work/no-mail-delivery holiday in Red Sox Nation. Mark it down. Oct. 20. It will always be the day Sox citizens were liberated from 8 decades of torment and torture at the hands of the New York Yankees and their fans. Boston Baseball's Bastille Day. The 2004 Red Sox won the American League pennant in the heart of the Evil Empire last night. - Boston Globe The $180M collection of prima donnas and over-glorified mediocre players that is the NY Yankees, led by that fat slug George Steinbrenner and his bottomless wallet, were royally bitch-slapped into history as the only team to ever lose a best-of-seven series after winning the first three games...and oh how perfect it was, at the hands of the Red Sox, thou who hath suffered the most under the Yankees' tyrannical rule over the rest of baseball. It's like watching the Death Star explode, or the Ring fall into the fires of Mt. Doom. Where sports is concerned, it's that huge. The Red Sox. Down 0-3. Come Back and Win Four Straight. Eliminating The Yankees. In New York. In Front of Fifty Thousand Yankees Fans. And The Entire NY Media. The biggest collapse ever belongs to the Yankees. The biggest comeback ever belongs to the Red Sox. Poetic justice at it's absolute finest. This is so great I can hardly stand it! ALL HAIL DAVID ORTIZ ALL HAIL DEREK LOWE ALL HAIL JOHNNY DAMON ALL HAIL THE BOSTON RED SOX! Oh by the way, they also advance to the World Series....

11:37 pm	Dark My Robot Jox In the past 48 hours, I have... Lost: 4 wisdom teeth (Vicodin is fun), 1 more year's hope of another Braves' WS championship (OK, it was a long shot...), 1/4 of the hope I had that the Red Sox could knock off the Yankees (damn the Empire), and 2 days doing nothing. Gained: 1 Star Wars Trilogy DVD set (widescreen), 2 pieces Aztec Gold for Halloween (uncursed), 1 USS Reliant model kit (I fess up....I'm a Trekkie), and 1 bottle of the aforementioned Vicodin. Curious...would one call this progress? Current Mood: sore Current Music: Dire Straits - Money for Nothing (4 Comments |Comment on this)
