there is no time for klax
yes. i have finally joined you all in the 1990's. i bought my first computer! i broke down and went for it. i have a caveman mentality when it comes to technology. i have your grandma's mentality. i am caveman grandma (another great idea for a blog alterego). but lately i have been on the up and up. i am one of you young folks now. next thing you know i will be wearing shortpants and dancing on sunday. chewing gum. sending electronic mail. staying up past 7:30 pm. i got a free ipod and printer with my adorable little macbook as well, which made it all the more lucrative. i am overly excited considering i work with a much nicer mac at work, but this one is MINE. i have to get internet, as i have been borrowing someone's neighborhood connection and it is annoyingly unreliable. i pound my caveman club, why this no work? once i break down and shell out the money for the real deal, and once the professor returns from whence he came, i will be an internet fool. i'll show you all.
speaking of expensive electronics, my sega and nintendo both konked out this week. the sega has been pretty far from functional for a long time, but the nintendo really hurt. no more lazy-man's monopoly (the nintendo did all of the work, all you had to do was hit the a button and reap the rewards. sigh. no more.) also, my microwave went to cook frozen dinners in the sky. with all of these events coinciding with the introduction of my new compubot and company, i have to wonder... did these old friends feel neglected? a sad thought. i am trying to see how long i can go without buying a new microwave, it seems like those things should be free by now. i didn't realize how much i used that old guy until he was gone. and it is actually cheaper for me to buy a used playstation than a used sega. how can this be? rest in peace, friends.
my man leaves soon to go back to new orleans, but before that we have to make a trip back to the midwest for his friends' wedding. the professor will change out of his everyday tuxedo and don a far less fancy wedding tuxedo. i will wear my dressy ninja mask, hurl bejeweled ninja stars, casually refrain from killing guests. we will both be able to see some family and friends while home, so who can complain? oh wait, freaking expensive plane tickets will be bandied about by my ass kicking. this has been an expensive month. you'd think i made more than i do the way i am tossing money about. hey everybody! look at all these one dollar bills, i've got so many i can't even hold them all! woooo! mayhaps i shall buy more things with all of these dollars. mayhaps.

I think that new technology is endowed with cosmic rays of some sort that are designed to destroy any technology within a thirty feet radius that is older than six years unless the old and new technologies come from the same corporation (a Nintendo Gamecube will not destroy its ancestor, the NES, for example). Just a theory I've been working on. I'll get back to you when I gather more data.
i forgot to mention that my TV (or perhaps just the round antennae that provides me my trashy fox and wb supplements) has also been more or less dead in the water. i was forced to watch an hour of the simpsons in barely legible graytones last night and that is just not acceptable. I would like to hear more of your cosmic ray theory once you have collected more data, krouchdog. please feel free to use my situation as an example if you decide to write a book on the phenomenon, if you need to keep it anonymous you can call me c.n.
Is the macbook the one with that nifty built in camera that does all the effects and stuff? I could spend all day taking pictures of myself with a new computer, I swear.
Here is a travel tip for your midwest trip-extravaganza: try to pick a plane that has all its engines working so you don't get stuck in Memphis when you are trying to get to Dallas and then Austin. It sucks. More on that suckiness later after I have had more than three hours of sleep.
Krouchdog, your theories intrigue me and I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter.
