i don’t know if this makes me a total pussy (mike suggests that the fact that two of my favourite albums are by belle and sebastian seals the deal on this issue), but i get really sad during the “when she loved me” jessie flashback sequence in toy story 2. every time, man, every time. and then i feel guilty for shutting all my stuffed animals in the dark cabinet under my bed.

“Hey, look, the truck’s stopping.” “Did they take us to the park this time?” “No—it’s a fire. Another horrible fire.” “What the hell is wrong with these people?”

Is there a female equivalent of “player” that isn’t “skank?” Or are we all just totally boxed in by society here?

I have just realized that the drink I’ve been drinking? Is caffeinated. This is why I can’t sleep. I am an idiot.
why do the significant others of jennifer garner’s characters always die suddenly just before they can marry her? is there something about them that says “we who are about to die affiance you”?
oh man, it’s Friday the 13th and I didn’t even notice!
MY EPIC FROG BATTLE
Mary: no, I cannot pack your stuff
Mary: I have to pack up MY stuff
Mary: ACK!
Vikram: RST!
Mary: RST?
Mary: RESIST?
Vikram: no it's a really lame dorky joke
Mary: oh
Mary: ohkay
Virkam: when you connect to a web page on the internets
Vikram: your computer first sets up a TCP connection
Vikram: which involves a three way handshake
Mary: oh wow, a REALLY nerdy joke
Vikram: haha.
Vikram: where your computer says "hi, can i connect" by setting a SYN flag
Vikram: then the web server's like "yeah you can connect" by saying SYN ACK
Vikram: and then you say "ok cool, connected" by saying ACK!
Vikram: but
Vikram: servers can say
Vikram: RST
Vikram: which means they aren't allowing a connection
Mary: ah
Mary: I see
Mary: that was the most boring joke I have ever heard
Also, my computer hates hates hates being connected to ANYTHING via USB. Firewire is fine, but USB = sudden and total death times. Which means it’s a really good thing that I have a firewire cable for my external hard drive and I backed up my whole system yesterday. I’m preparing for the end times.
new development. Every time I close it I have to force restart to get it back up again.
but plugging in an iPod caused total freezage. Shhhhhit. This is terrible timing. PowerBook, you were supposed to get me to graduation! How dare you cut out on me now??!?
ooh we have functional cursor action.
ooh and this time it made a nasty clink sound when I shut it down by force. Uhoh.
Make that 5th time’s the charm. It thought for an almost normal amount of time before switching on the display this time. Fingers are crossed. Damn. Display works but not cursor or keyboard or…anything else, really. SHIT.
dun dun DUNNN
oh god no. My computer is displaying some signs of impending death. Like a refusal to see my iPod, move the cursor, or boot up on the first, second, or third try. But apparently fourth time’s the charm. I’d better back up my data tonight.
I have given up on cleaning my room in favor of packing up my room. I will just do my laundry and pack everything clean except for the next week’s worth of outfits. I will pack all my stuff either into storage or into bags and piles for my car, and I will just not freaking bother with putting crap away.
I’m actually pretty sad to pack up this room, since it’s been a great place...
formal manners
Claire: did you try to crack a joke?
Mary: I did, once. she was very serious about it
Claire: whoops, ha
Mary: she "wishes me luck in my studies"
Claire: wow, how kind
Mary: I know. I was like "why thank you, madam."
Claire: ha. you should be equally if not more formal.
Mary: haha. true.
Claire: that'd be hilarious
Mary: I should be using business letter formatting
Claire: ha. good call.
Mary: maybe I should just skip email, have a courier deliver her letters on formal stationary.
Claire: embossed
Mary: YES. sealed with wax.
Claire: ooh good one. you can leave it on her calling card table. or have your man servant do it.
Mary: oh, of course, my MAN SERVANT. why didn't I think of that?
Claire: why mary I haven't the slightest idea.
Mary: *titter titter, tee hee*
Claire: blegh. ok victoria has to go to bed.
Mary: alright, my darling victoria. sweet dreams.
Claire: good night, dearest cordelia. I wish you sweet dreams as well. byeeeeee!
Mary: byeeeee

true zoom in firefox 3 is pretty sick, even if it seems kind of trivial.
wait, what’s true zoom? I mean, I know what it means for a lens, but a browser? Am confused.
I think that classes should be staggered so that only one of them is freak-out-able at a time. This would be an excellent strategy, non?
Oh man, early mornings are HARD. SO MUCH WRITING RIGHT NOW.
BLAHHHHHH.
