Laptop crash
My laptop took a tumble and is now half-functional. I might have a lead on a used laptop, but will shop around a bit. The tip given to me was, "AVOID VISTA", and by golly I'm gonna avoid it. If I were to buy a new laptop -- lower cost HP or Toshiba, I would have to take Vista with it. Blah! I don't want it and would spit it out like a child would asparagus with broccoli florets and anchovy paste vinaigrette. Come to think of it ... most adults with taste buds, myself included, would spit out that too.
If anyone knows of an XP laptop is reasonable order for a reasonable price $1000 or less area, let me know, eh?

Blues for NYPD

Well, if they have job postings in the Midwest for NYPD, then things are bad! Hey, look! Three things; don't get killed; don't get caught; we're all here for you.

Eat my shorts!
The Harrison Square project will continue despite the many blatant signs that it should not. Well, hotel canceled, investments leaving, not enough money ... wait! There's tax revenue from a source that could be used. So, rather than update fire service to an area or fix city streets or buy more salt for the Winter, we'll dump money into a project that seems life itself is trying to crush. Dear city government, do not proceed with this doomed project.

making up rhymes with bad English
"half" with "math". It really doesn't match, unless you have such poor English skills that "math" is pronounced, "maff"
With that you could just "wiffle while you work". Wiff dis wing, I doo dee wed. I spelz fein, funker, wuz yo callin me a foo? I dun need no skool, I'z richer den yo, and gots me so much ice yo kan skate on dis ---ger.
Yep, Dr. Martin Luther King would be "dun proud y'all" made it to where Obama gets backing for Presidency and many Blacks are still using the "N" word for themselves. Yep -- he'd be so proud you made it. Way to go rappers for paving the way backward -- reinforcing stereotypes and encouraging youth to stay permanently defiant and fairly ignorant.

spoilers
Well, I saw a picture of statements printed on car windows divulging some ending statements about Deathly Hallows. I will correct them, as they are a little erroneous.
Voldemort marries Snape, they have three children.
Hagrid kills Harry
Hermoine and Ron kill each other because each thinks the other is a stupid "git"
Neville seriously wounds Rowling for bad parts in her books.
Dumbledore was really hidden underneath a coin in a study and wasn't actually dead.
Uncle Vernon contracts cancer and has a change of heart -- ha ha.
The Death-Eaters rename themselves the Trans-fat avoiders.
Okay, they are all lies.

not as random as lightning
There's a spat, fight, separation -- pending divorce, then reconciliation, but ...
truer to life than a soap, one of the two, at least one of the two is flirting with danger and another person. Yeah, the reconciliation is sincere -- right up to the, "honest" word which is a lie.
At work ... someone is trying to sabotage his/her life by screwing around -- or leading to that. Yup -- choosing disaster over fixing. How surprising!

Yesterday's gone
Echo greeting me!
Well, I met up with Monkeyjack and family yesterday. We met at Munchies and we had the beer sampler -- 10 beers in 2oz shots. There was a Chardonary-esque beer that was bad, but most were fair. I liked the American Red of Mad Anthony Brewery. I wound up getting an accidental free beer. Monkeyjack was kind enough to splurge and take the whole bill -- I owe him!


We then went to Zesto's ice cream and later to Monkeyjack's place. There, Charlie wanted to show me rented games -- Chicken Little being his favorite of the two.
