K-Lite Codecs updated on the 24th!
Don't want to waste your time with Vista? Well now you can tweek out your XP to have the nice pretty features of Vista and none of the BS. The eboostr is nice because I have a few old thumbdrives sitting around. Might as well use them to make my photoshop work faster (and it does!) also I like that spiffy Sidebar vista has so I use Google Desktop.. (Because yes. I am a google whore. For your photos.. might I recommend using http://www.flourish.org/news/flickr-daily-interesting.xml as the RSS feed Also might I recommend NOT putting the photoviewer to your archived photo directory when you might..say.. have a friend over drinking. More on that later. (It's funny so read on)

So I spent most of Friday tuning up the computer (thus the links above) and writing. (more on THAT later) Fast forward to the end of the night. I set up my sidebar to display pictures from my archived photos. (this is before I discovered RSS feeds for my photo needs) I was getting all poetic and emoy. Look! It's my old bed at clocktower.. Awww.. Seriously having old pictures randomly slideshow on the side of your screen while you're doing other things is a SURESHOT way of feeling .. something. Speaking of that.. Some NOT artistic NOT pretty pictures I randomly took during the night last night are posted Hearah. Not very good pictures at all but I was on a huge "capture the moment at the moment" kick

Well one of my boys stopped over. Mildly annoying because I decided to do the super grungy thing after my walk (I showered but didn't wash my hair.) I mean my clothes were clean but I was in a Comfort Mode. Sweatpants, My dad's very shrunken flannel shirt and a tank top. (no undergarment if you know what I'm saying and I'm naturally front forward dead center so.. Yeah I always look happy to see you even if I"m not.) Well he was having "A DAY." He lost his keys walking from Amherst St. to Main Street so now he was locked out of his place. Could he PLEASE have a drink? I can't turn that down. So we near polished off a bottle of tequilla. While he sat near my computer he took note of some of the pictures I had. *cough*
The conversation roughly went like this...
Him: Wow, she's hot. who's she?
Me: *twitch* My ex roommate.
Him: Damn she looks like a suicide girl. Ha ha! Hot Topic Teen!
Me: Yeah. *takes another shot* I know.
Him: Hey that's a good picture
Me: Thanks. (it was a picture of a sunset I took from my Parents deck the night we had tornados)
Him: Wow.. now she's really really cute. Damn! Wow. Can I go back to that picture? Is she wearing your hockey shirt? Damnnnn... (yes he actually said an extended "Damn")
Me: *inside of brain stutters and implodes a lot* You know what? I'm going to um.. turn off my computer now. Or would you like to watch a movie or something
Him: Is that her again? Wow. she looks angry and hot. Really hot. Why didn't you tell me you knew hot girls? MAN! She is .. wow!
Me: *twitchy* Have you seen the new Futurama movie? It sucks. Let's watch it.
Him: Who's that?
Me: That's Eliza Dusku. I did NOT date her.
Him: That last girl was hotter. How do you .. I mean.. HOW?
Me: *twitch*
Him: Did you sleep with them?
Me: Ha ha ha ha.. No.
Him: NO?! WHY NOT?!
Me: No I mean no as in I'm not telling you.

So there you go. Sara. You're hotter than Eliza Dusku. And Christen looks like a suicide girl. *points and laughs* It's funny because it's TRUE! But it just bothers me when someone sees people who mean a lot to me and just sees the shell, ya know? It's just skin. All hot chicks are one mole or boil away from being worthless in the eyes of the world.
I threatened to cut him off if he asked any more questions about my past and we went on to watch Bender's Game which is NOT good at all. :\
Not as BAD as the Beast with 1000 Backs but not good either. It's like they decided to take the Characterization WHUT?!! route. First the L Word and not Futurama. *sob* (Yeah Shane, you do that. You go to town on your "best friends" girlfriend. That's VERY in character. Fuck you show.) In Futurama, Leela would SO go enter the ship in a demolition derby because she'd so do that very thing. >_< Except she wouldn't! They could have had that plot by having Leela have Fry do it for her and then she has to cover it up because it was HER idea. Leela doing something stupid to establish her RAGE is just.. They could have had her do something stupid by proxy and had her punished because of prompting the idiots. Also: not cool to have cameos of old characters if said characters act nothing like they previously did. >_< ARGH! Also Hey! Make fun of Roleplayers playing Dungeons and Dragons. Because that's not an old joke at all. I mean you KNOW your target audience ARE geeks and dorks right? so how about an injoke or something? No? nothing?
Here's a copy of Gamers and Gamers 2. We watched it on Turkey Day. I'm not a ganer but these movies do a good joke of picking on and paying homage to gamers. So.. like.. Yeah Stop Failing so Hard. I think I only laughed twice. The last two Futurama movies are just rubbing butt all over my memory of the show.
I ended up going to sleep at 8pm. No girlfriend visited today, No Smackdown with Rick, No one going to the Milkyway, so.. *shrug* I went to bed at 8.
So I'll be back in a bit with another post about my afternoon today and the Black Friday Crack Woman. I have to finish ordering a new PowerSupply and maybe ram for my computer.
