Journal Journal: If we don't see it, who's fault is it?

It's epic scenery to look at yourself living in the day of 386, before Windows 3.1 and 8 MB RAM/128 MB HDD, and to know that your shot at survival, today, depends on knowing Win7Pro, Win Server 2008, 4G iPhone, ShoreTel VOiP, IPv6, Exchange 2010, Office 2010. i5. 4GB/500GB HDD.
An MTv video should show some ECU of some girl's eye crying, then pan out to show what that eye looks like in five, 10, 15, 20 years.

The city is 100 percent capable of torturing someone while maintaining its sunny image.
Realize that the sun rarely shines in San Francisco.
Unless you are very young, why would you want to actually pay to spend any time in a fog-and-mildew drenched, pee-smelling environment?

Journal Journal: Marriage is like a TV show.

Marriage is like a TV show.
1) No TV show is lifetime (including, hopefully, that "Lifetime Channel"): The Tonight Show, Law and Order, and South Park will someday end
2) The best outcome is having reruns that play into perpetuity: The Twilight Zone. Star Trek. Possibly one day, South Park.
3) The more common outcome is in finding out what you taped is not worth upconverting: Whale Wars, Meerkat Manor, Nip/Tuck, the X-Files, Three's Company, One Day at a Time, Captain Kangaroo.

Why do people feel the need to inflict pre-recorded bass noise all over the neighborhood for several hours, in 2010?

Journal Journal: Dear Printer Maker

Hi,
I've been a happy customer of (company) since approximately 2004, when I bought a (make) (model) scanner-printer-copier.
In early 2010, I acquired the replacement.
I am shocked at the intrusiveness at which (company's) software exhorts customers to buy ink or renders their printers useless. Right now, the printer has stopped recognizing the black cartridge and offers to print on the color one. Then it goes through a calibration loop that never completes.
I'm working on a new i

If your car happens to lose it somewhere on the interstate with you in it, you will have melted away in an agonizing fiery death,

If I go that way, point is that a cassette will too. They melt at about 110 degrees F, yes?

I may not care, but I still have parents alive who'd have to bury me. Hopefully without knowing what I commute to.

Journal Journal: The Analog Hole is called cassette tape. 2

The cassette tape is great.
No devices saving to weird formats you then have to convert.
No devices phoning home.
If your car predates 2005, you can play the cassette in your car.
And if my car happens to lose it somewhere on the i-80, the evidence of my sucky music taste will have melted away.

Tonight on Whale Wars on Animal Planet, the Sea Shepherds' $5 million BatBoat gets cut in half by a Japanese whaling vessel.
Regardless of suck edit: The whalers were in the right by terms of maritime law and common sense. If you're the littler boat, you get out of the way.
Yall who paid Fat Admiral $1,000 apiece for the "honor" (as Pubestache said) of "serving" (yep): It's so clear you feel so GOOD about yourselves in your Sea Shep Patagonia gear. It's like a cruise just for Prius owne

Journal Journal: Prosecutor: The jack was in the wrong hole.

WHAT?
(Federal Prosecutor Pamela) Satterfield said the reason there was no sound being heard in the original file played for the jury was because the laptop in the courtroom “had a jack in the wrong hole.”

Journal Journal: Do you know Belladonna?

Belladonna is a porn actress. She came into mainstream fame in January 2003, when Katie Couric interviewed this "nice Mormon girl from Utah" and how she came to be doing the scenes she was doing in Chatsworth. The network that aired this also ensured that the words "double anal" would be heard over broadcast TV on PrimeTimeLive less than two years later., when Belladonna was depicted signing a baseball bat.
The above may be relevant for the reasons below:

I disagree. Friends of mine recently acquired music from other friends for free. Said friends then took their family to see d-bag Paul McCartney live in concert. The concert seats, the crappy t-shirts, stadium refreshments-->$900. You know that musicians make a lot more off concerts than records, right? And poor rag Paul's still crying over how file sharing has ripped him off. Which is why you'd have to pay me, handsomely, to bother ripping any of that bloke's crap. And yeah, he's way over 64 now.
