iRye-You seem to have the worst luck with your Mac!
todd-Congrats!
Avenged Origami-Yes it can, it's nice.


I just watched Cloverfield on DVD. I saw it in theaters and didn't like it, yet somehow I found myself watching it on DVD. It makes me literally want to throw up...so much motion.
But okay, in the theater:

(Me) And that's the abrupt unknown ending of Cloverfield
(Lights come up)
(Me) I WAS JUST KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!

That's how the movie goes.

Tomorrow's my last day at work and I will be officially unemployed until further notice.

:/

I'm going to attempt to set up my MacBook to dual boot either Windows XP SP3 or Ubuntu 8.04. I haven't decided which yet.

I think that movie was all hype and no show. I've yet to see it, but haven't heard anything good about it.

Is the motion effect lessened when you watched it on DVD? I heard the sound is great on DVD, but I'm still iffy about watching a movie that literally makes me sick to my stomach with all the motion.

Ya... I hate this weather :( I come back from Florida, and it's nice that day. So for the first time the whole school year I wear shorts and t-shirt to school. Thursday and Friday. You know what the weather was like then... what is wrong with Minnesota?! Ahhh... Makes me want to cry getting snow, I had to brush my car off this morning before I left!

BTW Eric, what building is that? It kinda looks like that old Ford assembly line by Minnehaha or wherever it was.

Gray Duck, have you purified yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka?

Oh pretty boys! The temperature right now in Goa (India) is 88 degrees and touches somewhere around 92-94 (min-81). So all you whiners, shut it. Cause I'm suffering the most in this forum.

My grandparents actually own a house on Lake Minnetonka. So if by purify, you mean swim, then yes I have many times as a younger child.
