Well, I'm still having fits about how fucked up Windows and Internet Explorer are. Can't use browser versions of messengers, can't play some games, all my friends are on Firefox so things don't look right to me, etc.

Today went back and forth between being "this is the most boring day of my life" and "oh my God, people are stupid."

Example one: That ABC special they keep playing on Yahoo, about the science of human sexuality. The twin boys, the one with the uber male room and the other with painted nails and the asexual maybe girlie room. The boy with the painted nails will most likely be gay because ... he doesn't live up to gender stereotypes. My eyes are rolling right now. How did they get a bunch of scientists to back up stereotypical ideas?!

Example two: "Pro-choice women are wimps". Enough said.

Example three: The American Idol blog strayed once again from American Idol discussion into politics. God, I hate when that happens.

Example four: "Left-wingers are just the brainwashed of America."

Ugh.

So it looks like the premiere show of Blog Talk Radio will be either this Thursday or Friday. I'll come back with a confirmed date once it's made!

Good news.
Mac took my computer to be shipped to get the keyboard and internal frame damage fixed.

Bad news.
I'm stuck on a Windows desktop.

Good news.
They backed up my files for me in case of any sort of accidents.

Bad news.
I forgot to delete any of my porn before leaving the house.

Good news.
My computer will be like new when it comes back.

Bad news.
I will be suffering extreme computer withdrawal (similar to that of breaking a meth addiction) for the next several days, because my mom likes the internet too, dammit.

I guess I'll use this as my chance to play on all the Windows things I have been previously locked out of.

THINGS THAT URK ME ABOUT THE INTERNET:
- MYSPACE PAGES WHERE YOU CAN'T TURN OFF THE MUSIC. Jesus Christ, you bastards! They give you a freaking music player to put on your site where I can turn it off because I don't want to listen to your shitty music! Use it!
- SITES THAT INSIST YOUR PASSWORD ISN'T SECURE ENOUGH. Fuck you, random website! Registering for websites is annoying enough without some automated password checker insisting that my password is not good enough. "Waah, there are no numbers, no case alterations, no words in foreign languages!" Kiss, my, ass.
- HOW ADDICTIVE SITTING AROUND BEING BORED FOR FOUR OR FIVE HOURS IS. I'm not doing a fucking thing, but I can't bring myself to do something better with my time. Guess it's time to pull up the java sand to further rub in how boring I am! Or I was until...
- THE FACT THAT WINDOWS THINKS I'M TOO FUCKING STUPID TO KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR MY COMPUTER! Java!? You're blocking the JAVA PLUG-IN!? And I can't work around it, because "you can't identify the publisher waaah!" KISS. MY. ASS. I want my Jonas back.
