Another cool app!

>> Picasa by Google

A smallish program that manages your photos. Even the basic editing pretty good and it has some nice effects I haven’t seen in an app like this. Not for high quality stuff though, especially the sharpening. But for emailing and posting, it’s almost perfect.

I found this cool theme and now my laptop looks like it’s running a version of Mac OSX.

>> Get it here. (screenshot)

I enabled all the options in the installation. If you get this annoying clicking sound it’s because of the ‘Close program’ sound; turn it off. I recommend you get these fonts since for some reason they didn’t install for me; get em here and copy them to your windows/fonts dir.

Car show pics

I finally got around to adding my carshow pics to my gallery:

Music to my butt.

I picked up this new chair today at Staples because my old one was a pain in the ass (ha). Also, don’t go to OfficeMax. They have this dumb thing called “FurnitureMax” inside and it sucks compared to Staples’ selection.

Public restroom decency and courtesy

In classic style, I spent the evening in the library trying to catch up. Around 10, I decided I had enough. So around 11:15, I packed up, said bye to Shaun, and went to let out the Barq’s I got from McDonald’s. Still befuddled from the reading, I made my way to the Shiffman library 24-hour study bathroom.

Nefariously hidden behind the door was the nauseating funk from one an obscene case of public restroom misconduct. Yet still seeking relief, I scurried to the nearest urinal simultaneously holding my breath whilst making a weird face.

It was one of those things where you just had to peek–yeah, I know. The crime took place in the middle stall and for a second, as long as I could tolerate, I fell witness to the remains of an explosive fury. Somehow, the porcelain barely managed full containment and I was thankful. As I fleeted toward the exit, I noticed a hastily strewn Subway wrapper in the non-human waste receptacle. The perpetrator had already left the scene.

The odor was so criminal it got stuck in my nose hairs only to be released over the next few breaths. No wonder the library has one of these.

Laughing under my breath, I messaged Shaun, “Go see what’s in the bathroom,” and made my way out into the cold.

Morons

The topic of this post is: morons.

First. If you’re gonna end your life, do it quietly. If you’re a moron like these people, I dunno, maybe you probably shouldn’t even try. Maybe get a job in Iraq and make sure you get some patriotic clothes to wear before you go.

California Train Wreck Spawns Possible Copycat Bid
Juan Manuel Alvarez, the California man who parked his car on train tracks, faced multiple murder charges on January 27, 2005 in the deaths of 11 people in a fiery chain-reaction crash after a commuter train struck his vehicle. Officials signaled they might seek the death penalty in the case. Alvarez is seen in this January 26 police booking photo. (Glendale PD/Reuters)

Why would you offer these people another opportunity to end their lives? Let’s not be morons too.

Second. Lifted from Lazyboii‘s site:

I don’t know if you guys heard about this or not but Hot97, a
radio station located in NY and NJ aired a “Tsunami Song” that “mocked victims of the South Asian tsunami catastrophe, calling them “screaming chinks” and “little Chinamen.” according to this New York Post article. More on this can be found on the following links:

Jin made a diss on the station and you can get the mp3 here:

and here are some links to petitions:

I’m not so offended by the racial comments as I am disturbed by their moron-ness (nice huh?).

Subway Rips Off Millions

Well it’s actually just 2 cents; about as much as my thoughts. That and the Canadian one is worth something, right? Anyway, this was the change I got from Subway on Friday. Stupid Subway.

Brrr.

There’s still beauty in all this cold

>> Awesome snowflakes

Freedom Crusader

>> Bush Speech

Surprised? Not quite sure yet. Where did he find this mandate? It is such a common theme that I think even a 5 year-old who plays video games or watches cartoons could smell trouble with this speech — some villain achieves a way to gain too much power and we must save the world from his wrath. Something like that.

Or does Bush view government like religion? There are so many parallels that it’s worrying.

Lastly, if you count how many times he said the word “freedom” it’s almost like saying, “um”.
