- It’s past 1 in the morning and people are (still) firing off left over 4th of July fireworks. Plus there’s tons of fireflies buzzing about in the backyard. Its times like these when I actually like living in Brooklyn (now, if they could only get folks were who were total abject retards to work at the Dunkin Donuts narby, then the neighborhood would be perfect).
- Got home really late; after work I met up with Rob and had Indian for dinner. Then went back to my fold neighborhood in Jersey City to check out his G4 iMac (dear God do I ever love that fucking model) to possibly get it back to 100%; after upgrading to 10.3.9, there’s no sound coming out of the system or the external speakers, but you can hear audio if you have headphones plugged in. It was figured that an installation of Tiger might fix the problem (many people have had a wide variety of problems after the final Panther update, and conspiracy theorists feel it was all done on purpose… can’t say I believe in them, but I can certainly see that line of reasoning).
The upgrade didn’t work, and I almost wish I didn’t do the upgrade since the 256 MB of ram which worked swell in Panther seem to chug along in Tiger, but Rob insisted on the installation, and at least he’s already pretty fond of widgets. In-between all the maintenance work Rob and I chatted, and eventually Michele arrived home from work to join in. And it’s nice to know that I’m not the only one finds Firefly the most boring and overly hyped piece of generic sci-fi in recent memory (and we’re all pretty big Buffy fans), and that the upcoming movie looks just the same if not worse.
For all my hard work and effort I was rewarded with a copy of professional wrestling Ric Flair’s autobiography which I found myself completely entranced by, So much so that I totally screwed up when I arrived in Manhattan via the PATH and took the uptown R train by accident. I did catch the mistake not too long after, but the Brooklyn bound train I then got on ended its run at Canal Street, so I had to wait over half an hour in the insanely humid train-station for the next train. I’ve said it a million times, but I’ll say it a million more: the NY subway system is pure fucking shit.
- While I’m at it (since I’ll probably be to busy to do an update during the day tomorrow), I may as well pass along this wonderful site which features this marvelous piece of Star Trek fan art…
Plus Christopher Walken building robots is pretty damn cool as well…
- One quick bit of gaming news: there is now an Action Replay code to open up the Hot Coffee segment of GTA San Andreas, which proves that Rockstar was 100% full of shit with their whole “it was the work of hackers!” excuse.
And now Hilary Clinton is getting in the picture by going the capital this Thursday afternoon to call upon the Federal Trade Commission to get involved. Just great.
Finally, and I’m certain everyone has seen this by now, but for those who haven’t, check out this Spanish super fan of the game God of War.
Okay, time for bed!
