JZ: that happens everywhere. Happened to me a few times. That's why whenever I talk about financial aid and the like to prospective new students, its to say that they need to be on top of that shit like a fox on a henhouse. This includes making sure to do everything months in advance -- including the FAFSA -- and then going by the FA office at least once a few weeks before the semester starts just to make sure everything is hunky-dory.
CF: Yeah. Luckily, I got mine and I seemed to be in the minority. It was so bad here, they bumped back the first late fee penalty to early October instead of early September,
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
Song lyrics are like that sometimes.
From a different song entirely, I'm not sure how you can get "flirty" out of something that sounds more like "funny" or "fonzie."
It was horrible. There was loud music and people getting drunk and a dance floor and I felt so claustrophobic and I would've stood outside in the rain then endure another minute
I was in the rain today, and I much prefer it to claustrophobia and alcohol and dancing. :D Rain is the best thing.
Around here, it feels like to socialize, most of the time, you need to get hammered to do so. I'm not against drinking, but every damn weekend is redonkulous.
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
I like water but I also like fire. Choosing between the two seems kinda hard, and this makes me think of Jeong Jeong wishing he were a waterbender and not a firebender.

Well the problem currently is those famiclones that are readily available for cheap are almost all incompatible with Castlevania 3 and other MMC5 games. I really don't understand it myself. When I'm in Japan, though, I'm definitely going to hunt down an original famicom and Castlevania 3 (J) with the superior VRC6 chip.
Back after goofing off most of the afternoon. Went and cleaned my car out, then took the Prius up the nearest mountain to see what its climbing skills are like (it actually did quite well; yay for electric motors). After that, I went to Goodwill and Salvation Army in Manassas to look for techno-junk, then went to dinner with the parents and stopped at Walmart for stuff and things.
I'm currently watching Springer and pondering putting OS X back on the mini, since Linux isn't working properly and I need OS X to unzip Mac OS 7.5.3 for the Classic.
Older versions of OS X are fine, though I admit that I don't like how iOS-y it's been turning since 2007. Apple since the iPhone came out and <i>especially</i> since Jobs left the company the second time has been reminding me more and more of John Sculley's secretive, locked-down Apple that lost big-time to the PC after Windows 3.0 came out. :P
I didn't see much of interest at the SA; their forte is clothing and furniture. Goodwill is the place to go for techno-junk, and they had that a-plenty; they had typewriters there. Typewriters.
Yeah, I almost bought a typewriter today, just for old times' sake.
The tighter controls over developers, the refusal to discuss system internals or provide development tools without a lot of red tape, that sort of thing. That and the fact that everyone knows all the secrets despite Apple's best efforts to keep them under lock and key.
Oh, and did I mention that this madness with Samsung is a repeat of the same thing Apple did to Microsoft in the late 1980s? That time, Microsoft won...then again, Microsoft didn't clone the Mac nearly as closely as Samsung did the iPhone, and that time around, Apple didn't have design patents, just a copyright on the Macintosh system software itself.
But yeah, I got on the Mac bandwagon again in the early 2000s when OS X was in its infancy, and it looked like they were going to join the rest of the world to some extent. I was really happy about it at first. Then it started happening—the forced upgrades every 18 months or so, the limitations on backward compatibility (OS X 10.4 could run on a 1995-vintage Power Mac 8500 with the right CPU card; the oldest machine OS 10.7 will run on is from 2008 or 2009 >:P), and after the iPhone came out, the general shift in emphasis from the relatively open, developer-friendly world of Mac OS X to the locked-down, red-tape-infested world of iOS.
Between that and Microsoft ignoring Windows for most of the 2000s (XP SP2 came very close to being too little, too late), I decided a while back that it was time to give Linux a try again, and that's what I did.
Truant: Oh, okay, those are a pain. My mom has to use one because the wireless keyboard I got her (back at a time when our dog still thought cables were a tasty snack) has a few keys that won't always work, for some reason.

Back from Kings Island. Got a few pictures of the park from the observation deck of the 1/3 scale Eiffel Tower...probably post them sometime this weekend.
For the first time ever, I rode more rides than I sat out, which was fun. I also chickened out at the entrance of one ride, only for said ride to break down during the run I would have been on.
Also I rode a rollercoaster for the first time ever and actually enjoyed it. So yeah, it was a fun day.
@Lee: Heh, I have to stop myself from impulse-buying typewriters I find at thrift stores too!
CA: They had a couple of electronic Brothers, an electronic Triumph-Adler that was made in Western Germany (i.e. "before 1990"), and even an old electric (not electronic, electric) Smith-Corona that had the missing 1 key!

Heapers' Playground
179 HUB
"Hey Troll Sister"/"Avenue Queue" (2012) A new kid joins the Heapers, but seems more interested in making trouble than having fun; each of the Heapers gives a different account of events when Princess is falsely accused of line-jumping at an amusement park. TV-Y7.
And now I'm reading iFixit and I'm seeing how difficult it is to fix anything Apple makes now. If they had their druthers, their computers would be made like Ford Duraspark modules—huge chunks of aluminum filled with impenetrable epoxy goo. When it breaks, you get yelled at by Dave Chappelle-as-Rick James ("BUY ANOTHA ONE, YOU RICH MUTHAFUCKA!")
