If I had to pick only two gifts for Christmas they would be a faster processor and more memory for my computer. It’s dragging ass lately and really pissing me off. I never noticed how slow it can get until my work computer was upgraded. Now it pales in comparison. Just imagine clicking a program and actually having it load immediately instead of the computer mulling it over awhile.

Freakin awesome links, photos, and videos Friday
Otherwise known as FALPVF! Haha, that’s the title for a new feature on my blog that, knowing me, will likely be one post and then dropped. I cannot be trusted to blog regularly as many of you have come to realize. In fact, you might as well subscribe to the feed so you don’t waste your time checking back here frequently. I don’t have much to say. Work is work. I watch tv daily. I play Guitar Hero a lot (for now until I get bored).
So here’s some stuff I’ve seen in online that I would like to share with you all!
Bears … Beets … Battlestar Galactica – Otherwise known as Jim vs. Dwight on The Office. I laugh my ass off every time I watch this.
If that doesn’t float your boat, why don’t you break me off a piece of that Fancy Feast?
Do you prefer cute creatures? How about this hamster? Or perhaps this dragon-pig?
If creepy is more your style, check out the Living Dead Dolls pencil sharpener. Just what you need when you want to ram a pencil in some douchebag’s eye!
If organization and usefulness make you excited (like it does for me), check out the Dynomighty Magnetic Desk Dots or the Mobile Device Charging Holder. Imaginative name, that last one, eh? Manbearpig must have had something to do with it.
I am McLovin
Too tired and ready to head upstairs to post a real entry ….
A Qdoba ground sirloin burrito has 1080 calories! Holy shit, guess I won’t be eating there again for awhile. But that three cheese queso is muy bueno!
I actually lost at Pictionary this weekend. Well, only the second game when I was forced to team up with my brother who draws better than the rest of us yet lacks the mind-reading capabilities my husband and I share. Oh and Trivial Pursuit 80’s Edition still sucks balls.
I finally got my new computer at work! Tomorrow will be my first day using it. I’m way too excited about this than a person should be.
Super Bad was super vulgar, and super free since The Simpsons two weeks ago started late and we got free passes for the inconvenience. “I am McLovin.”
I deleted a load of feeds from my Bloglines. I’m sick of reading boring blog entry after another (much like this one). It’s a total waste of time. I need to stop spending so much time online and rediscover my old hobbies like jewelry-making. And tv-watching. LOL! Oh and exercising would be nice. I have the 1st season of The L Word that’s gathering dust upstairs by the elliptical machine (also full of dust).
Drool-worthy discovery today – Canon has announced the 40D. Oh baby, I am so getting this camera!!! Joe has wanted to inherit my 20D for awhile now but there wasn’t anything out there worthy of relinquishing it to him. Now there is. I also need a hot-shoe and Joe is going to build me a light box.
I want to have a garage sale but I don’t know if I should push myself to get one organized before October or just wait until next Spring so I can slowly declutter the closets and garage. I’m tired of all the stuff. I don’t want it. I don’t need it.
It’s torture, and I’m almost there
I’m getting a new PC at work. Or more like, I have the new PC, but I can’t use it yet because I’m waiting on our I.T. department to buy the license for a program I need to do my job. So my shiny new PC is sitting on my desk, mocking me with it’s sleek 19″ LCD. “You know you want to use me, Nicole. I have a cooler version of Outlook, I’m faster, I have a DVD-ROM, and my resolution kicks your old monitor’s butt”. Oh how it mocks me! But I can’t do anything about it. And I found out it might not be until next week that the license is purchased and the software is installed. I’m so sad. Don’t they realize this is torture to a geek like myself?
USB cord lengths
The thing I find interesting about USB devices is that more often than not, the cord is not long enough. Why is this? Joe bought me a USB vacuum for my computer for Christmas and the cord was so unbelievably short, we had to plug it into his laptop so I could clean my keyboard, and my keyboard is wireless! But the cord would barely reach around my tower so I couldn’t hold the keyboard near the tower to use the vacuum. Retarded.
Then I bought this USB hub. It works fine, except the cord is so short that it barely reaches from the back of the tower to halfway to the front, so it has to sit on top of the tower instead of my desk like I wanted. I just don’t get why the design is so flawed. Someone please give me a logical reason for this because it doesn’t make sense to me.
