The 5,6,7,8's
I watched Kill Bill Vol1 with my lovely wife.
I liked it.
But probably my favorite thing about the movie, besides watching it with my lovely wife, was getting introduced to the The 5,6,7,8's. Three Asian women playing 50's style music, barefoot and in broken english. Life can be so good!
My cat Blue loves to lay on top of monitor whenever I'm at the computer....he doesn't ever lay there unless I'm at the computer.
He always lay butt out; which, means that I have a big fuzzy tail across my monitor when he's up there. I move it, he flips back in front of me...I tuck it under his leg, but eventually it pops back out and I have a cat tail in my view. You learn to work around it I suppose.
Anyway, just one of those weird, random things that happens to me during life. Seeing that I'll blog even less after I die....I just figured I'd put it out there.
I've recently requested and received an eMac for use at work in "assisting" me with supporting our handful of Mac users. I admit I've always been more of a Wintel kinda guy, but I've been impressed with the eMac and OS 10.3...so much so that I wouldn't really have a problem using it as me my primary computer over the PC, if only I could use all our systems on the Mac...which I can't....and that being the case I'll keep using my PC as the primary system. I have a lot of fringe benifits with the PC that I won't admit to publicly, like downloading from UseNET.
Now I have been using a trial version of Hogwasher to access my UseNET account and it is a nice little program. I wish it had a PC equivalent; which, it may have, but I haven't really looked for it...I'll stick with Agent.
One thing that chaps me about OS X, and this isn't Apple's fault, is that Microsoft hasn't created a native OS X Exchange client. Sure they've doctored up Entourage to access an Exchange server, and it is better than it was, but it's a far cry from the full featured Outlook on the PC. That one factor alone is a huge hitch in using the Mac in our environment.
Overall though, the eMac has been a fun little computer to use. One sad and unexpected side effect of having it on my desk is all the cretins who come by and gawk at it. I'm so tired of hearing, "woah, what's that" or, "wow, that's weird looking, what is it", or "is that a computer?" or the other myriad excruciating comments I get. I should have gone for the tower G5, but I was price concious and went for the cheaper option, and considering how much the G5 towers are I don't feel bad about it.
It's true. There's some kind of curse on every pair of green pants I've ever bought. Now before you start raising your eyebrows at my choice of pant color let me assure you that it is a very subtle color of green. Nothing neon or pea or puke here, only nice a nice green shade (if I knew colors more I'd venture a name, but I don't).
For some reasons the Universe must have it in for my green pants. There's been a disturbing trend of ripping and tearing, and no, not in the seat area.
Twice, while sitting, I've caught my pocket on the arm of a chair and quite astutely put a good inch rip at the bottom of the pocket. The most hair raising one was when I inadvertently brushed against one nail and after unhooking myself brushed against another, leaving my poor green pants with two gashes on the legÂ…hard to ignore.
Now you'd think I'd learned my lesson, but no. I neither sit more carefully, nor do I shy from buying green pants. Maybe someone is trying to tell me something, I don't know.
