For Shame

I feel cliché in going as far as bashing Myspace again, but such a useless service seems to spur anger in my soul, which is typically happy and sterile. It crashed Camino. I wanted to actually use it for once to look at someone's profile, and I'm greeted with the astounding, shocking event: crash and burn. Myspace's servers are what? Ten year-old Texas Instruments laptops? Come on. I know you have 1234123452345 users, Mr. Myspace, but so do Maddox, Amazon, and eBay. Get the picture. Make your site usable, make it something worthwhile, block slideshows directly embedded in the profile, block video, block music. Personality may be "cool" but it ain't at the expense of saneness everywhere. So I move to Blogger, free, fast, and with a focus on something that could lead to somewhere. Plus a widget so I can post from Tiger's Dashboard. Yayness. So this rant ends.

Spring Break saw the family going to Houston, half the week at Lauren's, half the week at the Mercer condominiums— another typical trip, with the exception of an exciting visit to Body World at the Houston Museum of Natural Sciences, and I can attest that seeing a skinned man in real life is about as gruesomely disgusting as it sounds. I can say without a doubt now that I have seen, in person, a man holding his heart in his hands, conveniently skinned and kneeling for my viewing pleasure. Disgusting, is it not? They didn't let me take pictures either. Darn.

I'm still trying to figure out how to make my own template for this site. I feel like making a real web site sometimes, but the realization of coding makes me tired. So, let's code for something that's slightly easier! I think I may just poke around in the code of a template and change some of the colors/images/etc. I like the look of this, but not necessarily the color. Black and white would be much better.

MacBook Pro's are insanely, disgustingly awesome. I love them. I want to mingle with them. They pwn you n00bs. I saw them at the Galleria's Apple Store— I think I'll order one now, despite the hissing core, flaming MagSafe's, and bright strip on the LCD. Screw Rev. A "curses." I also want to boot XP on them so eventually I'll be able to play some games. Right now there aren't any driver's for the ATI GPU in the Mactel's. Half-life 2 soon though, soon. Then maybe F.E.A.R. I could always just tempt myself to World of Warcraft too, but $15/month is too much to get banned for using a macro keyboard. Stupid Blizzard and their virtual dictatorship.

I guess it's too bad I really can't get a MacBook Pro... yet. :-D
