Some two or three weeks ago, I caught a virus that had been going around the area for the previous week or so. That Monday, as I was leaving for school, I was feeling violently sick (strangely, I wasn’t feeling sick at any point the night before). Then, just as we (I was riding in someone else’s car) were at the last major intersection before the school, I vomitted all over myself. First time that I did that since I was 6 years old.

Until Wednesday, I was bed-ridden. I couldn’t do #2, and I was feeling nauseous for the whole time. Even though I went to school from Wednesday to Friday, I was still constipated.

It ended on Friday, the day after I took a pill of Milk of Magnesia and a glass of Prune Juice. To be blunt, I was taking a shit almost every hour of the school day, and it didn’t stop until the next day, if I recall correctly.

Anyway, I just wanted to get that out there, simply to make some sort of work at the moment.

It’s 12 midnight, and I’m not tired yet.

Now where’s that Milk of Magnesia? >:-)

He must’ve been lucky to die on Christmas morning.

I remember when he performed at a New Year’s celebration on the last New Year’s Eve. Dude still had soul in his voice in his early 70’s.

He’ll be missed.

And it’s true.

I finally have a laptop.

Here are the specs.

Like I told

lordsathien

, Dad has taste concerning computers (he has an HP Pavilion desktop with AMD Turion 64 as well).

Now I get to keep my Pell.

Oh, and we finally got this box that Dad sent through UPS (and notified us of beforehand).

It’s addressed to me, and it comes with the precondition: “Do not open til’ X-Mas”.

Hmmm…..

I’m certain that its a notebook, though.

Haven’t been this anticipatory about the Winter Solistice since…..damn, how long *has* it been?

The last release of Windows XP was in 2001.

That same year, Mac OS X 10.1 was released.

Fast forward to 2006:

Windows Vista was declared “Ready for Manufacture” earlier this week.

Mac OS X began selling its Intel-based computer line this year.

…………………..

I wonder….why the wait?

If Apple and Microsoft are so seriously opposed to each other in the desktop market, then why did Microsoft wait for this entire time to release a new Windows version until Apple launched Mac OS X on Intel processors?

Did the deal between Apple and Microsoft to release and sell Microsoft products for the Mac OS (including Internet Explorer, Virtual PC, and Microsoft Office) go much further than that?

Otherwise, why would Microsoft give Apple such *blatantly* obvious headway on the desktop?

Maybe this video has alot to do with it?

Democrats win the House!

Oh….and Rummy just resigned.

And I voted. Marked the Libertarian box in as many categories as were available.

First chance to vote, and I took it (at the last minute).

So now I am certified to bitch on politics.

I promise, though, that I won’t overdo it.

Honest…… 😛

Anyway, we’re heading out to St. Louis tonight (picking up my aunt from Evansville first). We’ll be back by Sunday.

Take a look.

Apparently, technical difficulties are to blame.

We’re heading up to St. Louis on Wednesday (yes, its another funeral). Yes, lordsathien, the book will be in your hands (or at the doorstep) on that day.

And did anyone hear about WalMart phasing out Layaway by Christmas? Just found that out today at the WalMart on Russell, while heading inside the store to apply for a job (which I couldn’t do since someone else was at the machine and Mom had to head to work before 2:30).

What do ya’ll think of this?
