Facebook ads–no thank you

Some of the ads on Facebook are kind of cool, but some are just downright weird.  Take this one for example:

And you have to advertise by using a picture of someone’s BACK??  Yuck and ew, if I may.

The work ahead…

Got one of my syllabuses (syllabi?) and already know for Micro Economics, I need to write a 10-15 page paper about an “economic problem” for honors credit.
I really hate the honors program.  Just because we have book smarts doesn’t mean we like doing extra work.  In fact, honors students are some of the laziest people [...]

Finally going to get a good night’s sleep

Ever since Saturday-ish (though I suspect it’s actually been longer and I just didn’t notice), my computer has been awaking in the dead of night in a zombie-like fashion, which wakes me up and forces me to make it go to sleep again.
I even tried putting it in Hibernate mode, which is essentially off, but [...]

OK, Mr. American Radio Batman Announcer…

When you’re doing your little Batman giveaway commercial, it’s pronounced NO-kia, not no-KIA.
no-KIA is what you say in response to the question: “Tarzan, do you own a Kia?”  I realize Nokia has very little market share in the United States, but that’s no reason to mispronounce their name.  You’re putting the emPHAsis on the [...]

I’m back! I think…

Well!
I get back from Vegas only to find out that while I was gone, a comedy of errors took place.
First, a lightening storm obliterated both the modem and the wireless router.  Then, my car’s Check Engine light came on.  Shortly thereafter, my dad’s car overheated.  Then a man who was supposed to fix the washing [...]

Next month: Blogger Tycoon

…Unless they’ve already done it.
Seriously, something needs to be done about this Tycoon franchise.  I know we hound EA for making basically every concievable Sims game possible, up to and including “The Sims Pawn Shop Stuff,” but in the meantime, something’s slipped under our noses the whole time.
The Tycoon franchise is out of control.  While [...]

Power’s back on

The power came back on at 11:30 tonight, after it was inexplicably knocked out at 1:30 in the afternoon.
Apparently, while working on the lines, a limb fell on some wires, snapped them out and blew up a transformer.  80 people lost power.  They said they would not be able to do anything about it since [...]

Can’t take it no more

I don’t think I can take the humidity.  After two weeks in a climate with 0% humidity and then coming home to a climate with 500% humidity, I don’t think I’m going to make it next week when I have to be outside for lunch duty at the summer camp.

Photobucket crap

Does anyone else’s Photobucket look really screwed up? Instead of a left-hand navigation column followed by several rows of pictures, everything is now spread out in a single column with only one column of photos smashed into the left-hand side of the screen at the bottom? WHY?? It looks terrible and is [...]

Bleeerrgh

I just got done with four hours of CPR training and stuff for my summer job.
As boring as it was, it had its moments of hilarity, especially during the movies, which featured clearly under-competent actors attempting to be way too dramatic given the fact (a) there is no emergency, (b) they’re doing CPR on a [...]

Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring…

…Bananaphone!!

I have no internet

And it sucks. Guess it’s time to figure out how to tether my phone’s internet to my computer.
ETA: Success! Internet tethering works! I love my phone!

Eeeeeexcellent

I have just learned my mom does NOT like Kenny G.
I’ve never listened to music my parents hate (since I’ve never been into modern music), so who knew I’d finally hit upon this with jazz?
Looks like I’ll be blasting some sax all through the house now.

For the deaf

There’s a guy in the computer lab just now who answered his cell phone. This is the conversation:
“Hello? What? Yes. No. I’m in the computer lab. Yes? No! Uh-huh. I don’t know. Maybe? You should—I said, you should—huh? No! I mean, yes! YES! OK! I’ll talk to you later.”

Doo doooo doo doo doo

Manah, Manah!
