Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

What is even happening?

Help.

Chris said, "I reset the computer for you, because you were all finished." When he said it, we were busy; my mother was here, and since then, I've been doing stuff. Now he doesn't know what he did, but every time I click on a link (like the "message center" link at the bottom of this page), it opens...in a new window.

Undo it. Undo it.

Alibelle, New Zealand was fun, beautiful, and Vaguely Familiar. The parts we saw all looked like the best parts of the American West and Pacific Northwest/Alaska all rolled into a nicely driveable area.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Cindy, it may be something as simple as being on Shift-Lock. Press the Shift button down and release.

What is even happening?

Thanks, P-C. I ended up right clicking on message center and selecting "open" and then from then on, all the board links just opened regular, instead of opening in a new window.

The evil is this way?

Hee. Helpful boy.

Yeah. He's helpful all right. Every time I clicked on a link here, it opened a new window. I didn't realize it, until I had about 8 open, and went to close one, and then saw the last thread I'd been in, lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Narrator, he finished pre-school today. *sniff*

Thanks, Connie.

Very cool. I wouldn't have expected Alaska and New Zealand to share any qualities. Interesting.

Fjords. Lots of fjords. Also, temperate rain forests. Not very many people. Very much like Southeastern Alaska.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My old roommate had lived in SE Alaska, I think -- it was so interesting to me. Ketchikan? Is that a place? If so, is it SE? (He was actually from Anchorage.)

Grad students always need money, Jesse. Give him the package and a ten and see where it gets you.

Ha! I just left. You know why? Because fuck em.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Moxie is still for sale, I think, in some states. It is a dark-colored soda, and then there used to be a brand fo flavored Moxie seltzers I drank when I was a preteen. Moxie soda I have avoided, but the seltzers were quite good.

The soda has its own festival in Lisbon, ME. It is definitely a love it or hate it beverage (I think there have been natter discussions on the subject of its nastiness before).

Very much a holdover from the days when there was no soda, only patent medicine. It is a bit medicinal, but I like it (I like Vicks 44 too, though I wouldn't drink it in a soda-like fashion). Which is funny, because I dislike root beer flavor and despise anything remotely licorishy (sp?).
