Bad Facebook!

I can’t collapse the Mini-Feed anymore?  I’ve always thought that it was a poorly-designed waste of space…and now I have to look at it?  What a travesty!

Blah, April 2008 Edition

This week has been hella busy. End of marking period in school = tons of work to do. And by tons, I mean too much. And my too much, I mean presentations to assemble and papers to write and Cappies shows to review. And, even after ten hours of sleep and a pretty low-key day, I’m still really exhausted.

On Friday, I had a huge government test. I didn’t have any time to study this week (mediocrity seemed to manifest itself in everything that I did this week), and I got an “F” on the test (50%). Then, I went to turn in my Independent Research AP presentation and my teacher gave me that “look” and made that “noise” when she saw it. I have a feeling that it didn’t go over to well. But here’s the worst part: my horoscope had some business about something bad turning out good that day. So, uh…what happened to that? I’m not sure.

This week, WordPress 2.5 was released and I upgraded. I like a lot about the new backend. Except for the color scheme. The color scheme looks like blue pastel paint palette ate some bad Mexican food and got pretty bad indigestion all over my blog, plus some random disgusting orange business here and there, although I will say that the ‘Classic’ theme is much better.

On a closing note, I’d like to link to two blogs that I’ve been enjoying recently: The Panda Page (which is full of hilarious randomness) and The Confluence (a pro-Hillary blog that has a ton of food for thought).

Happy Saturday.

Spammers Say The Darndest Things!

An except from a recent spam email that Gmail failed to catch:

ONE TIME ONLY OFERR!!!!  HAVE PERIOD SEX WITH OSAMA BIN LADEN FOR THE LOW COST OF $29.95!!!!  REPLLY WITH YOUR CREDITT CARD NUMBAR AND TEH COST WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO OUR REPRESENTATIVEES’ N IGERIAN BANK ACCOUNT.  REPLY SOOON.

Ahhh…what would we do without our spelling-deficient spammers?   Oh, and while we’re on the topic of ridiculous things, I’ve had these songs stuck in my head all week:

  • Redneck Woman
  • Carwash
  • I Touch Myself

Spring break cannot come soon enough.  20 more hours, and 58 days until I get my learner’s permit!

Green With Envy

I’m sorry, Jennipher. I really am. I didn’t mean to forget about you like this. And I feel absolutely horrible for what I’ve done to you. I left you for her more than two months ago, and now I find you, cold and sick, hiding in my bedroom. I apologize from the bottom of my heart.

It all started this morning…I found you under the chair in my bedroom, and you looked positively horrible. You felt so cold and you were so green that I thought you would vomit on me any second.

When I proceeded to turn you on, the first song that you played for me was “Wish Me Well (You Can Go To Hell)” by the Bouncing Souls, and then “It’s Not Right, But It’s Okay” from that remix EP that I bought in eighth grade. I was saddened.

I’m hoping that it brought you temporary solace to discover that I actually needed your help with something, though. I needed your earbuds! I lost Debbie McStinkerton’s awesome new earbuds last night, leaving me with no way to privately enjoy my music. I was desperate, so I grabbed the nasty old earbuds off of you to temporarily lend to Debbie. I know you feel like I’m throwing you back on the street again, but Debbie is so happy now!

And besides, I’ve decided to start using you to backup my important files so that you don’t feel so useless anymore. Is that an alright compromise?

See? Now we’re all one big, happy Apple family.
