Linux-Happy Liz

Mwa ha ha ha! Finally success! While I have lost all of my music and documents, I know at least have a computer with which to access the internet. I am minus msn messanger, but I can at least play CDs off of my system and check my email. Yay Linux!

That was a lot of exclamation... I'm very very happy about this.

And now to play around with my new operating system. Later...

My Computer

So I'm back online, but I'm not sure that I can accurately describe how oddly my computer is working. It's as though I've stepped into a time warp... or as if I'm trying to access the internet from the Commodore 64 in my Grandmother's basement.

At any rate, I have nothing of value to report. Work is pretty boring. I miss school (that's right you heard me), and I want my computer to work properly... I'm SOOOO BORED!
ARGH!

All done. :) I have to confess though, the rant I was about to go on yesterday when using Joe's computer, was probably best aborted. As I was typing his keys kept freezing up making me madder and madder as I typed :S
So here's to things better left unsaid! These days I'm thinking that more and more things ought to be left unsaid.

Back in Town

I have returned from my weekend home and my Aunt's wedding. With any luck I can get some pictures up from the wedding to put up here soon. :) In the mean time I will just say that I had entirely too much fun and finally made my brother watch Team American: World Police.


"That acting was reckless at best"



"I promise. I'll never die"

By the way, the uncensored version, oh man... I'll never look at puppets the same way.

Aimee Rules!

I just got back from the Townehouse and wanted to Blog about how cool Aimee is. Who else can play Sleeps with Butterflies and Say it Ain't So in the same set and make them sound like her own songs. I want to be her.

As I write this it's occuring to me that the majority of my posts are being made under the influence. Perhaps I should do more creative writing after consuming alcohol. Or perhaps less.

I've been drinking, and here's what I think

Joe says: "Oh good" (in his Carl voice from Aqua Teen Hunger Force- a really stupid show that is hillarious)



Here are some random thoughts:

Musically OK Computer is one of the greatest albums of the century. But lyrically I will always prefer The Bends. Especially the song The Bends.

It is my intention to read the play "Uncle Vanya" soon. I have a quote from it that I rather like.

Do you think Brenda Lee was being ironic in the song "I'm Sorry"? I hope she was.

I think one of the best Simpsons' quotes ever is "The noble spirit embiggens even the smallest man". Not because it's the funniest. Just because.

Bonobos rock. “Instead of fighting as chimpanzees or humans would, bonobos engage in group sex to resolve conflicts.”

I'm actually starting to dislike the movie Closer. I don't usually move from liking something to not liking something. I'm just starting to see what my boyfriend hates about it.
