I go somewhere in my car, and i have the radio on but sometimes the songs I like the most don’t play until I turn on to my block.
Dire Straits, Jimi Hendrix and tonight it was Pink Floyd but it’s also been Led Zeppelin and John Mellencamp. It was an astonishing string of coincidences but it’s sometimes a bummer too.
If I’d known what a PoS HP’s support was, and that you can’t get new controllers directly from individual part manufacturers, I wouldn’t have bought this laptop.
Plus the Spanish in their .es webpage is “from Spain” like I’m from Huangzhou. It’s not “la portátil”, it’s “el” (in Spain they’re [m] ordenadores, not [f] computadoras); it’s not “la ventana”, it’s “la casilla”; “¿no es su producto?” directly sounds like shite; it’s not “paso [numeral]” but “[ordinal] paso”; wtf is a “sistema operativo admitido”, you freaks let your OSs enter places?
Given that the translation is actually different from those in the other Spanish-language HP sites I’ve checked, they really should’a bothered try and get someone whose Spanish sounds like it’s from Spain.
At least this time they actually did have an updated video driver, which half my games have been demanding for a couple of months. Now off to play MOO2 while it downloads…
I just did that too!
Anywho, am working at home today and yet again my outlook didn’t close in a way that was too it’s liking, so it’s having to do a check on my archive folders which takes a good 20 minutes usually. Guess I’ll go have a shower then.
I have too many ramekins. They no longer fit into the decorative container I have for them on the chotchkie shelf in my kitchen, and stand messily in my direct eye line as I load/unload my dishwasher, so it’s a problem I face at least daily. You people have no idea.
Oh! And as a follow up to my previous first world problem:
I declared the $30 ice cube tray a failure because the cubes were slightly too small for my liking, so I shelved it and had to go back to plastic ice cube trays like some kind of hobo.
To add insult to injury, no one has yet replied “This review was helpful” to my two star Amazon.com review.
Ugh! I have so much to do tomorrow! Clean my nice middle class home, wash my nice middle class car, bake cookies for the cat sitter, take the dog to the kennel, do laundry and pack. All so we can spend Thanksgiving week at Disneyland. Going on vacation is such WORK!
Right? In our instance we leave a bin of our organically grown, fresh, delicious, flavorful tomatoes for our cat sitter to pick and choose from (On top of the lemons from our 100% organic lemon tree) and she hardly takes ANY!!! RUDE!
We brought my 11 yo daughter to a presentation of “The Fellowship Of The Ring” last night, with the music played live by a symphony orchestra. She was stunned, amazed and exhilarated, and stayed awake till 2AM. She’s still asleep, and will be quite a grumpy little thing when she wakes up.
But of course the new Twilight movie opens this weekend :- she’s been talking about that for weeks, and has forgotten about it. So do I wake her up,remind her, and bring her to it today, risking day long grumpiness ? Or do I leave it till next weekend, and if I do how does that work in with the fact my wife and I are going to “La Traviata” next weekend ?
It’s so hard to find good fresh artichokes in November. I usually have to go all over the produce department before I find them, and when I do, they’re kinda small and not as good-looking as they are in May/June. When I’m in the mood for an artichoke, I want an artichoke, dammit! [sub]Artichoke![/sub]
The much-cheaper store-brand bags of black tea are not as tasty as the name brand. I’m drinking slightly-crappier-tasting tea, brewed with sanitized water while I sit in a climate-controlled building during a cold snap, doing work I get paid for while sneaking off to [del]post to the Dope[/del] make a cuppa tea.
