dextr0us's Journal: Randall, the interface whore.

This isn't really an apple topic, i just decided to be an interface whore and now i use apple.slashdot.org instead of normal slashdot whenever possible. I wish you had the option of seeing all news on the front page with the cooler looking slashdot gelly look, but oh well none the less.

Wow, a lot has happened. Situation: Wrecked Car. SOME MORON cut in front of the car in front of me, and i was going like 10 and couldn't stop in time so i nailed the truck in front of me. NO damage to the truck (AWESOME FOR ME) but my hood was crushed back and looked like a dome.

So i wrecked my car yesterday, while eating lunch during a lan party. This makes traffic ticket #2 related to a lan party (and coincedently [sp] ticket #2 all time). I think i'll have to not ever use my car again to go get dinner for one of those things.

On the good side, my car wasn't horribly damaged. On the bad side, the $150 that i happened to be saving for some new turntables (geek DJ Dextr0us) will be going towards car repairs. We fixed the whole thing today, minus the headlight, so thats pretty rad. We found a hood and fender for my '86 toyota camry (i told you i'm emo, i cant afford a car from the 90s) and it only costed 110 bucks (and we got some headlights, but they were the wrong kind, and i dont like rewiring my car, but they were included with the 110 bucks, so i wasn't too bummed.)

My Dad said something awesome today out of the blue. He said that he will be my insurance provider, and i have a 150 dollar deductible, so he's going to repaint the car and get headlights and the sort, and its only going to cost me my turntable fun.

WHOOOPTY DOOO.

oh yeah, agent A is so cool. I miss her a lot. I think since i havent written anything in my journal in forever, she probably doesn't read this so i can say cool stuff again. I miss her and her weezer. The only problem is that the whole MISSION thing keeps popping up in my mind. Yes, i am mormon, and no i'm not brainwashed. Ask me about it if you really care, but i don't think you do. It basically ends up with me leaving for 2 years, and probably not ever seeing amy again. Down with that.

ALSO! right now i'm on my father's great computer, but if i were on my own, i would be using phoenix for my browser of choice. GO TO www.mozilla.org and use phoenix, because its the morally right (i almost typed tight) thing to do. Actually, it just never crashes, and doesn't mess with your registry (other than file associations). It is the lean version of mozilla, and runs much faster. DOWN WITH IE! UP WITH PHOENIX. if i'm not going to switch back to linux, then i'm going to use XP with phoenix. YAY FOR PNGS WORKING AGAIN! now i just gotta make sure it supports flash....

anyways, you read to the bottom. congratulations, you are great.
