I've been watching Less Than Perfect on Hulu (I've now watched all of season 1 - which is all that's there - and must search for the rest via other sources), and so I've seen that Friskies commercial at least fifteen times now. You know which one I'm talking about? The trippy "Across the Universe for cats" one? I actually played it for Chelsea, but ( Read more... )

It's been one of those days.

1. I was irrationally angry at a jar of tomato sauce earlier today. IT WOULD NOT OPEN. (Please to be noting this was a previously-opened jar, so it's not like there was a pressure seal or anything. Apparently, the Hulk used it last and screwed the lid on a bit too tight.) I banged on the lid, I banged on the bottom, I ( Read more... )

Went back to Best Buy today (and can I just point out how bizarre it is going to Best Buy, after having watched Chuck? lol) and I purchased a computer! I went with the Samsung R480 I mentioned in my last post. I'm reasonably certain that I'll not get any papers written today, lol. I do need to get my wireless set up and install all my crap and ( Read more... )

Well, I took a trip to the Sony Style store and Best Buy today, so I could see the laptops in person and get a hands-on feel for them. It was pretty helpful - and I know there are a few people following along with these posts thinking about buying for themselves, so I'll say definitely go to a store before you buy anything and make sure you're ( Read more... )

Yeah, more computer stuff. Ignore me if you wish. It's mostly for my own benefit, because it helps to keep track of everything if I can post it all in one place, rather than searching through the different websites looking for the model I saw before to compare it with the other model I saw somewhere else.

Anyway, on my previous posts, a couple ( Read more... )

You know, when I woke up this morning, I thought, "Hey, today's a good day to spam my flist with computer specs." No, really, I didn't. Sorry. BUT:

So, I was all settled on the Sony Vaio, and then my doofus dad emails me saying, "Talked with our tech guru and he would not recommend Sony laptops. He said they are not as reliable as their reputation has been in the past. He fixes computers (he's the one who got your Apple going the first time) and said parts are much more for similar ( Read more... )

I'm looking at the Sony Vaio, and I have two options:

I have hated my computer pretty much since I got it, but I refused to get a new one because I was determined to get my money's worth. Well, it's been two and a half years, and I frickin' give up. The battery's just died, so I'd have to replace that anyway, it's unbearably slow, it crashes three times a day, and now IT WON'T STOP BEEPING AT ME ( Read more... )

I've just about had it with my computer. It's been running painfully slowly pretty much since I got it (which is almost two years ago), and doing all kinds of freezing/crashing things that make me want to just toss it out the window and buy a new one.

What pushed me over the edge was this weekend, when my parents were visiting, and I waited half an ( Read more... )
