- 20:03 @meghanthefox that's terrible! #
- 20:04 @christinaheart haha that's how I feel some nights. #
- 20:21 @meghanthefox my mom is the exact opposite of your dad in that she thinks that if people say anything about my weight I'll stop eating. #
- 20:26 I ate too much again. I seem to have lost my self control. A bit depressing. #
- 23:00 Kind of thirsty. But way too lazy/tired to go get water. #

My DSL is repaired but will only work if I'm hooked up to the modem via an ethernet cable.
I've tried, for an hour this morning and another hour tonight, to configure the Linksys wireless router (which I installed and have previously reconfigured a couple times). It comes up as configured and connected but won't let me go anywhere - everything times out.
I think the problem is internet security settings... that I have them configured, somewhere, for the wireless router too. I've checked, disabled, and/or reset everything I can think of but still can't get internet access via my wireless router.
Yes, it is making me insane.
Disclaimer: I do not have Windows 7. The statistical likelihood that I will have it in the next year or so is equivalent to me being descended from Anastasia. You know, the one who died in vain according to Mick Jagger. I'm moneygrubbing and my laptop is 4 years old and I won't replace it for another year or two.
That said, I have long been a fan of the Get A Mac ads, because they were funny and punchy. They would playfully exhibit the differences (both in purpose and daily use) of each OS and it was at a level that was "all in good fun". The latest "Get A Mac" ad, though, is weak.
And here's why:
Every single previous ad brought out a specific feature, issue, or benefit that Mac had over Windows. Maybe it was removing the myth that only Windows OS could do business. Maybe it was exploring Mac's graphics/arts-friendly side. Maybe it was antivirus issues. But each and every ad had a point.
Until now.
This ad ("Broken Promises") is so generic it threatens the whole genre; there isn't a specific target except that each Windows release has promised to improve on its predecessor. Well, I would think that Mac's OS' have offered the same (after all, if there isn't improvement, then what is the point?). It's a below-the-belt punch, and it shows that Apple is truly threatened, or at least perceptually threatened, by Windows 7.
This bothers me on a couple of levels: one, I do have some significant friends and family who busted their @ss on Windows 7, and rightfully so: I hear it's a sweet ride. Two, I'm all for competition and playful (or barbed) banter: but it needs to have substance. The latest Get A Mac ad is the equivalent to Churchill retorting "I know you are but what am I" to any of his foils.
The irony being that it sends me down the path of looking to a Win-specific platform next year, and not switching to Mac.
See that brown bag? That's poop. Thats right...poop in a bag. Brett has to have lab work on it....and in the meantime it needs to stay in my fridge until he takes it to medical. Thats right people...I have SHIT real SHIT in my fridge. He better not freaking forget it in the morning because poop in the fridge cannot be sanitary.

Was here at 820am. Had a device that sounded like spaceships. Made noises for about 15 min then left, saying he'd be right back. He left his parking cones so I guess I should be more hopeful.
I'm tired and have a wicked headache.
