Late night conversations go the oddest ways. This started as a little fit about some russian spamming the comments over at badblogs. Then, somehow, the following happened…

I hear ya, really I do.
Lemme tell you about the geek posts, if you don’t mind.
You see, I use w(t)f as a multipurpose tool. It keeps my writing sharp. It allows me to bitch and complain about stuff and always comes back for more. It gives me an outlet. As an added bonus, sometimes those posts are slightly comical and entertaining, so you keep coming back. Thank you!
The other reason? I use it as my own personal knowledge base. Some of the geek posts might actually be useful to me. Some are reminders. Some are just cool, but full of information. So, I store those items here for future reference.
I apologize if they don’t entertain or you don’t get it. But I gotta have a little bit of selfish here, right?
Talking with my Boss the other day, discussing a possible color for her new car.
Must be rough when we are sitting here discussing what color you would like on your next eighty thousand dollar automobile.
Not that there is a problem with that. She has worked hard and deserves every thing she has, including the house that overlooks the Pacific Ocean. We joke to put things into perspective some time and it kind of helps me to realize that, really, things could be worse.
Of course I watched.
Some observations…
Did anyone else notice how much they were pimping seeing a movie at the threatre? This is where I mention if there was anything worthy of the big screen and way kick ass sound, then sure. Or if it didn’t cost half a weeks groceries to go. Or if there were 20 minutes of commercials AFTER I paid that high dollar amount. Or the crying children, or the cell phones ringing, or the sticky floors or blah blah blah. I’m good watching at home, until you give me a reason to otherwise.
I like how Jon Stewart stood in front of the crowd and called them a bunch of liberals. That was pretty awesome. Or how he told the salespeople (see above) that they need more original films. That was pretty awesome too. But the best part was when he started firing ‘I Love Oscar’ shirts into the crowd with the t-shirt gun.
Then there was Ben Stiller. Or at least I think it was him. I couldn’t really tell, since he was invisible and all. Seriously, that was the most ridiculous f’ing thing I have ever seen, even from him. I laughed not at all and was actually slightly embarrassed.
I didn’t know Chris Rock and Billy Crystal had a thing. Interesting. I thought they made a cute couple.
I was amazed at how many movies were nominated that I hadn’t heard of until that night. I guess I need to watch more tee-vee.
I will not see Broke Back Mountain. While I’m sure it’s a great film, watching robots ride horses just isn’t my cup of tea.
Boobs. I don’t think there were enough boobs shown this year. Granted I did miss the red carpet preceedings, but boobs are what make the Oscars, in my opionion.
If they actually bashed the award winners over the head with a viola to end their speech, that is show I think I might actually think about paying for.
I’ve actually been to the Kodak Theater. On it’s opening night no less. Of course, I was working, but I still got to check it out. I can tell you that it isn’t as nice as the nicest movie threatre in your town, and not much bigger either. And you know they close off the street for a week before the event, right? That’s because parking is non-existant. Don’t believe the safety bullshit they keep saying. They need a week to clear cars off the street so all of those limo’s have someplace to park.
Seriously tho, I could have easily missed it. But, if I did, I wouldn’t be able to say the following:
That was 3 1/2 hours of my life that I will NEVER get back.
Ugh.
I know most of you have read this article by John Dvorak:
The idea that Apple would ditch its own OS for Microsoft Windows came to me from Yakov Epstein, a professor of psychology at Rutgers University, who wrote to me convinced that the process had already begun. I was amused, but after mulling over various coincidences, I’m convinced he may be right. This would be the most phenomenal turnabout in the history of desktop computing.
yea yea yea, blah blah blah.
But, how many of you read any of the posts at the PC Mag forum to discuss this article? Holy crap!
I know some of you are Mac users. I like to think that none of you are as fanatical as most ‘fanboys’. I think you are smarter than that. I know none of you wrote any of those posts, right?
