Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Aimee, I'm so sorry, and at the same time glad that you were there for your grandfather and the rest of your family.
Re: arithmetic -- for my Econ midterm last week, she strongly encouraged us to bring calculators, just so we didn't get tripped up by something easy, even though there wasn't likely to be a ton of computation. One of my friends forgot her calculator that day, and ran out to buy one. On the test? There was exactly one bit of subtraction to do. Eh.
While fast forwarding press the > or < button (the around the select button). It hits the quarter hours.
Ahhhh, thanks!
The A thing: If you're in guide, you can go forward in 100-channel increments by pressing the A button. If you're in the title guide, you can go forward by title by using the C button.
OK, that I knew, but I don't really care, because I scroll by my favorites.
Oh, question for people who order from Amazon: I got emails saying my order has shipped, but on the website, they don't think I have any recent orders. Is that normal?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Jesse, that happened to me with the latest Harry Potter book. Even after the book had been delivered to me, Amazon's web site *still* said I didn't have any recent orders.

Good calculator fun is handing someone your old HP when they ask to borrow a calculator. Then sit back and watch the confusion.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dell thinks I have no orders with them. Which makes me over $700 worth of panicky. If I go in by order number, it's there, but if I just log into my account ... zip.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
You're a cold, cruel man, Gud.

Also I discovered most people think "Reverse Polish Notation" is a term I just made up.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I am a walking (or sitting) stereotype and have a Dilbert cartoon taped up at my desk.
Panel one: "At long last out product is complete! It ships tomorrow."
Panel two: "That's terrific. I only have a few additional features to add, and the marketing department will be happy."
Panel three: "I believe that our customers want hardware, not software."
