the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

yeah I don't want a refurbished.

I just bought a refurbished iPod mini, and I love it.

And weirdly, I was so relieved.

Nah, I totally get that.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

yeah we wanted to get my dad a mini for Christmas (therefore the not refurbished). When we couldn;t find them I thought a 20gb one like mine, now those can't be found either.

Why not? Apple's refurbished products are cleaned up, tuned up, packaged the way new products are, and come with a warranty.

(I don't have a need for you to get your Dad a refurbished iPod; I just didn't know if you knew that they're not all dirty and crappy.)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Hivemind question: I'm updating my resume and wondering how I should include things like the LOST party, Wolfram & Hart Annual Revue and such. Extracurricular? How do I describe what I did?

I would have no idea how to answer questions about that in an interview.

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

I'm getting the pig!

OK, this is an awesome non-Christmassy home light display. [link] The link is to a Windows Media video file with sound.

Very awesome. That clip has been making the rounds through the office today.

I told the avoider himself that I'd make sure someone got him the information he was missing, and that the document was still due by end of business today.

Huh. Not a single kick or punch in there. Not a one. Very professional. Not as satisfying though, I'm sure.

Lunch today consisted of chocolate covered pretzels and raw veggies with Lite Ranch dressing. I don't recommend it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Freelance Events Management. You designed and coordinated the event, liaised with all vendors, etc., etc.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
