Reinstalled dat Windows 7 on the laptop and running enough to post this. Preliminary success but not everything is done updating yet so it may tank again.
 
This seems appropriate:

Where in the world did you hear this song? I have never even heard of this band, it was neat though.
 
Oh, FML. Cell phone just died and screen will not display. I should just open a bottle of scotch. What are the odds your laptop AND cell both poop their pants the same day?

And, damn, looking the price structure now as opposed to before for a replacement phone. Yikes! What a racket this industry is.

Right there with you. Well overdue for a new phone, thought I'd drop $100 to get myself an S6 this month. Nope. You pay full price upfront, or go on a payment plan. Guess too many people are jumping out of their contracts.

Might be a refurbished S6 for me.
 
burned 500 calories playing volleyball today. This is good. We were tied last set against the staff who were kicking our *****. Tied at like 24 and I went back to serve.


Two aces, *******!




this is what you get in lieu of kickball updates tonight :)
Are you just playing with randoms or did you and DH fly down with people?

Yep. Totally with both of you there. Used to be that I could get a new phone every two years (probably a $500-600 value at the time), but now the cell phone carriers decided to do away with contracts (supposedly for "our" benefit) but then that also did away with the free phones. The only people the change benefited were those people who like changing cell carriers all the time. Screwed the rest of us and saved the cell carriers money in the end since they don't have to incentivize people with a free new phone. It's bull ****. I mean, how many people change providers that often anyway?

Is on dumb and dumber also.

If neighbors show up topless, I gotta move to Wisconsin.

CG, I was just saying if my wife was basically naked, I might go to the door if someone knocked, but I'd lock it.
 
Well GTO, overall I enjoyed the film. It got kind of predictable with the final four or five people. And I thought the ending was a HUGE cop out and a major plot hole. But overall, it was a good flick.

I thought the ending was what it was always supposed to be. No way of knowing who was responsible or why. They could have fleshed it out more, but I think it was left vague intentionally. My take?

Aliens weeding out humanity in a "survival of the fittest" experiment. No idea why, but it would leave only one type of person in the world: master manipulators. Either the way the main character did it, or by manipulating others through feeling pity for you. I don't think the girl or pregnant lady were ever meant to survive, as I think that for every 50 people there has to be someone looking out only for themselves. Additionally, a true honest/nice character would pretty much always play the game straight up without forming alliances or backstabbing which would always result in their death. My favorite angle were the two people pretending to be husband and wife.
