Size Matters

Heh.

It's funny. Just yesterday I was at lunch and I saw a couple of people with Dell notebooks and I was thinking, "Holy crap. Those things are enormous. How can they stand lugging them around?" Indeed... Compared to my Mac, they are about 3 times as thick and weigh about twice as much...

So today... Apple announces their newest laptop. It's an ultraslim model.

Wow. That's really starting to make it look like we're living in the future.

Personally, I don't need one of these. It's not as fast as my notebook and it only weighs about 2lbs less, but weight was definitely a factor when I bought my notebook. You notice things like weight when you're bicycling 10 miles a day with it on your back. :) (Tho I only bike 5 miles a day since we moved offices)

I do have to admit that it pings that geek chord in me though. :)

Unphotographable

The actress who played Vampira died during the weekend. I hope she's now gone and joined Ed, Bella, and Tor and they're making Hell a much more horrible place with their films.

I dressed in a black velvet batwing blouse and did black nail polish, black lipstick, and heavy eyeshadow today in tribute. I was going to take a photo with my computer but black velvet just makes me look like a black void to the camera.

I find it odd that all of my coworkers have been going on about how nice/cute I look today. I get that any time I wear a skirt. I guess what they mean is, "Oh. You must be dressed up. I should say you look nice." either that or it's a quiet recognition that I'm dressed how girls are SUPPOSED to dress. I've gotten that at every place I've ever worked. I'm not supposed to look 'nice' today. I'm supposed to look pale and gothy.

Ohwell.
Farewell Maila Nurmi.
Vampira... RISE!

Liars and cowards

You know something that really disgusts me about the right wing. To a degree I can tolerate their ignorance. It irritates me but not half as much as their cowardice does.

There was an article about a transgendered woman being denied breast augmentation on religious grounds. There was also a right-wing asshat version of the story: http://www.calcatholic.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?id=b99ab893-0b1a-4ed4-950f-08df39c2b4c3
