They Don't Have Independence Day in England

Jul 05, 2010 23:23

My Saturday plans were to include a sly Netflix gambit of watching a movie and returning it the same day, but the last pick-up was at 2:30, and my mail did not arrive in time! So instead I went to the comic book store and dropped off postcards for the SF Olympians Festival and geeked out about Justice League. Then I visited Jess and Colin and met ( Read more... )

They Don't Have Independence Day in England

Well, they sort of do, but they call it "Sorry You Lost Your King Day". ;)

Sounds like a great holiday weekend to me.

Oh, your icon reminded me... My boss just said The Last Airbender felt a litlte like Power Rangers to him. Sigh.

A few days ago, I was forced to upgrade to new AIM because they claimed my beloved AIM 5.9 was going away,

What?! NO. Who said this?!
When there was that whole big buddy-list fiasco the other week, with people's buddy lists disappearing when they did that server upgrade, I thought the problem was that the new servers weren't compatible with 5.9, because the buddy-list showed up with AIM Express. But then it came back and everything was fine.

I despise newer AIMs. I've tried them multiple times.

What?! NO. Who said this?!
AIM said this! It's all it said! "Hurry, upgrade now, this version will be going away soon!" It could have been lies.

I despise newer AIMs. I've tried them multiple times.
I like the automatic log file and the possibility that I could use it for Facebook Chat, though I haven't messed with that. And the automatic Away message display isn't bad. Everything else, though? GRRRRR. Why do they have to fuck everything up? THIS IS NOT AN IMPROVEMENT.

Sounds like a fun time!

I celebrated the Fourth of July by watching an American Movie Classic: Predator. What did our forefathers want? To get to da choppah!! When did they want it? NOW!!!

Hee. :)

Oh, I'm glad someone liked that because I thought that was pretty funny, myself. It was like the sort of thing I would post on Twitter if I did that sort of thing.

In fact, I will give it some airplay on Facebook to see how it fares there.

As a person who didn't have a car of her own for a long time, I'm so proud of your chasing-them-down, going-out-of-your-way, ride-offering ways.
