Train Wreck

Lindsay is watching DVR'd episodes of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, and the sound of Kim's voice sucks the life out of me.  She is a terrible person who must be color-blind and tone deaf.

I despise this character and cringe when I hear her smoker's voice.  Grotesque.
I was tardy to the pardy.  And I'm a clown!

Tattoos

I have several tattoos on my arms, back, shoulder, finger - no problem.

There's some spots I'd never get ink - my neck and my face. These celebrities disagree with me on this decision.

Google "gucci mane ice cream cone tattoo". Go on, do it now.

MTV did an interview with Ron Bianco from Lone Wolf Tattoo in Bellmore, Long Island about face tattoos.  Ron actually did my last tattoo a few months ago.  Great shop, great people.  "Crusty kids" are getting more and more of these tattoos.  Crying for attention. 

(Sidenote: Never get a tattoo because other people will think it's cool.  Do it for yourself)

Not really feeling like cooking tonight - had cashew crusted tilapia with carrots and spinach on the menu but the fish didn't thaw (read: I took it out of the freezer too late).

Time to relax and figure out what's for dinner.

New Zodiac Sign?

What's this I hear of a new Zodiac sign?  Ophiuchus?  Come on.  I was just getting comfortable with being a Gemini.  Not sure what all this Zodiac mumbo-jumbo entails, but we now have 13 signs - and 12 months.  The math doesn't add up.  I was and forever will be a Gemini.

Oh wait, I just got a tweet from @GeminiFDH - Hey #Gemini your zodiac sign has not changed. You are still a proud #Gemini! Ophiuchus isn't the 13th sign. It's a constellation. 

Crisis averted. Whew! Therefore this chart below is crap.

Linux Sucks; Linus Rules!

I've never had a Mac so I can't comment on how they run.

My hard drive basically shut down on my Dell laptop (of about 2 years).  No problem.  I got a new hard drive for $45 at Newegg.com, installed it, went to the tech office here at the college and asked them to help.  They installed Ubuntu (a Linux o/s).  Got home, plugged in my iPod, and some wack ass program pops up. 

I Google'd "iTunes" and "Ubuntu" and come to find out iTunes does not run on Linux operating systems.  Awesome.

Next stop, picture folder.  I use Picasa, but with Ubuntu, they use PhotoStream or something.  Sweet. 

So here I am, with all my photos, songs, and documents (which work fine) backed up on an external hard drive.  I want to go uninstall Ubuntu and install this Windows XP disk Jesse gave me.  I put in the disk and this Ubuntu won't even let me autorun a disk.  Bullshit.

Problem is, now no one is answering the phone down there.  And because it's my personal computer, they may be hesitant to install anything that isn't theirs.  I literally spent all morning yesterday down there trying to get this thing figured out.  The computer they give me at work has OpenOffice Writer, which basically doesn't open naturally on any other computer.  (the fact that the computer is from 1990 is besides the point).

I hope I get this fixed, because I want iTunes, Picasa, and I want to install this wireless printer I got for Christmas.  I have a funny feeling that with this Ubuntu garbage, I won't be able to sync the two.

On a brighter note, Linus is super cool.
