Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Death to Microsoft Word.
I endorse this statement. (Fuck off, .docx format. Just FUCK OFF.)

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.
The new Word is so cool! When I want to create a new document, it asks me if I want to make a new blog post!

“Not dead yet!”
(Fuck off, .docx format. Just FUCK OFF.)
I'll concur with this.
However, once my clueless-assed self reset her preferences, I'm dealing okay with it. I'm still not crazy about how Word 2008 interacts with Spaces in Leopard and it has a disconcerting as hell habit when, I unplug the big monitor from the laptop and open the laptop to use it, whatever document I've had open has shrunk to the size of a postage stamp and the background has turned tobacco brown and it won't respond to the cursor.
Requires my quitting and restarting Word, which is a pain, but I can live with it. This laptop in general has just been really quirky. I suppose one quirky computer out of a half dozen isn't so bad.

When you're out Cowgirl President whoever made that call? First against the wall.
Because you're a maverick.

Fuck off, .docx format.
Hey now, the .docx format is a lot prettier than the .doc format. I've written a .doc translator and had to wade through the world of convoluted sprms. The .doc format was brilliant for the time it was created in, but is very outdated. The .doc format is the reason why you can change the formatting in Word and get bizarre and unexpected results that you don't get with, say, WordPerfect's XML like representation of a document.

But kind of adorkable at the same time!

True, true.
