twicketfaceDriving home last night, I realized why so many Americans like Dubya and why I can't stand him. He is the epitomy of an American. Woefully and willfully ignorant, overpriviliged and self-centered, all wrapped in the guise of patriotism. He's the corporate version of the common man, through and through. I feel foolish that I'm just getting this.
I was on the receiving end of a lesson on impermanence last night. I needed to reboot the computer to try and get my CD burner working (again). I did so, but with an unusual result. I was greeted with a C:> prompt and a sentence that, when translated into English, meant "Computer not work right". This meant that everything I downloaded in the past two weeks (roughly 10 episodes of Dr. Katz, 8 episodes of Home Movies, 8 episodes of KITH - each of which took about 4 hours to get, multiple songs for Marie and myself, as well as the work I logged on the Photo project) were all gone. Well, kinda. They were on the hard drive, but with no way to retrieve them. I restarted the computer a few more times to make sure this was the reality, and it was. So, for the second time in 3 weeks, I reformatted the entire computer back to the settings I had when I got the machine, over 3 years ago. After 2 hours, I had reloaded all of the programs I had burned onto CDs for the last time I had to complete this procedure. But it opened my eyes to the fact that I was more interested in *having* these episodes than watching them. I survived 25 years without them, but it felt like I had lost something grander than I really had. Silly, really. In any event, it's a sign to install a stronger antivirus program and cut down on my file-sharing.
I need 100 copies of a 72 page document by the end of the month for more training I get to lead. I like going to Kinko's more than I should. I think I'll save it until next week, after our vacation.
Not that extra LJ-codes can be measured in assloads, but I have an assload of extra LJ-codes. So, you know, if you know of anyone who wants one or want to make a pirate journal or something, let me know. And I know it's unmanly, but I'm getting tired of sexually-charged usericons on LJ. Can you point your overflowing boobies/thonged-crotch/thonged-ass away from the camera?

8 episodes of KITH
"Would you like some eggs? I laid them myself."
Gods, how I loved Kids in the Hall. Did you know that, in China, you're given a pair of chopsticks when you're born? Uh-huh. And if you lose them? You'll starve to death.
but I'm getting tired of sexually-charged usericons on LJ.
Oh, dear. You're probably not going to like this little exchange (http://www.livejournal.com/users/hexkitten/293814.html?thread=824246#t824246), then.

Those photos were morally reprehensible!
Raining Lard?
