EVERY 30 gig Zune died last night → gamepolitics.com

OMIGOSH, that is silly. this will be sad if my little ol’ zune is dead. i left it back in tx. i guess i’ll find out tomorrow night. since i wasn’t in love with it, i won’t be too sad, i suppose.

maybe this is more reason to get an iphone for my “entertainment on the go” needs?

This is hilarious. A software bug made every 30GB-model Zune crash last night at 2 AM, and they won’t reboot properly.

edit: I’m still laughing about this a half-hour later. The various comments everywhere are hilarious.

P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing), Michael Jackson

(via hotg0ssip: joshawesome: freakoutalyssa)

in unrelated news, i think i am planning a trip to vegas in february. shit like this happens when i get a buzz around people who have hookups and free plane tickets. i just start spouting ideas and people sign up. it is going to be awesome, no doubt.

ok, it’s not yet 9p and i am dead. loooser.

hip hip hooray

my dear baby brother, at the ripe old age of 21 years and 3 months, has just passed his driving test. he is now a legal driver!

yay, now he can be my DD. actually, i’m hoping he can be my personal driver from now on everytime i’m in texas. it will be payback.

because traveling is always a series of unfortunate events

i arrived late this evening to check in at my hotel because i spent the evening with a 7 year old (and some others) watching peter pan and eating pizza and talking about the duck pond.

i just went to use the loo and wash my hands and FUCK if the sink didn’t leak all over the floor. OF COURSE. i’m already pantsless and ready to crash. i don’t feel like changing rooms right now. i will deal with this in the morning. this is annoying.

  • gold goal for 2009: live and work in the same city.
  • silver goal for 2009: get a corporate apartment and secure job in a city i like.
  • bronze goal for 2009: move to austin and become a crunchy barrista.

i should not have mentioned the 'potential layoff' email to my mother

now everytime i tell her about the things i want she says, flora, what about your job? or why don’t you wait until february or march? or how about next summer?

blah. i hate when people are so logical about things. especially in an economic recession. i think my job is fine. it should be considering all the shite i’ve got going on. but still, the warning is out there on the table, hanging in the air.

i mentioned this to my friend and she said, yeah that’s why i didn’t even breathe a word of it to my parents. and then she invested her money in a really pretty, expensive purse. smart girl, that one.

i should just stop coveting things, probably.
