I’m breaking my own cardinal rule about posting videos. But I love this video so much, I’m posting it anyway, my own rules be damned. I don’t know what it is about this video, but I find it freakin’ hilarous every time. Maybe I’m just like the explorer E - a big retard mentally challenged person.

Crushed velour?!? Really?!?

I’m not normally the kind of person to criticize the way one dresses. My boyfriend says I dress like the closet coughed something up on me. But I’ve got to get this out there. When something is so wrong that even I notice, you know it’s wrong. I think it’s important that this person sees this and gets help soon.

Hey, lady. Yeah, you. Riding the #62 Archer bus inbound yesterday afternoon. No, not the one across the ailse from me with the shopping bag. You. The chunky woman in front of me wearing the maroon crushed velour outfit. Hi. You need desperately to be told this: You look (and smell! Dear God!! Why do you smell like it?!) like the bench seat of a 1979 Cutlass Supreme. Don’t ever wear that again, okay? Not to go grocery shopping at Jewel, not while hanging around the block, not even around the house while waiting for your real clothes to wash and dry. Not ever. The 1970s are long over, you weren’t put together by GM, and I’m being completely honest when I say you look ginormously fat in that. If you have friends that said you look good in that, they’re not your friends. I mean, really. Crushed velour?!?

I feel much better now.

Handy utilities

I made a comment to James tonight while out on the porch smoking a cigarette about a utility I had many years ago on my old Mac Centris (that didn’t have an HD activity light) that turned the Scroll Lock key into an HD activity light. It was a rather lightweight little extension under MacOS 7.5.5. We both wondered if there was such a thing for Windows. I doubted it, but he came in and looked it up and found one right away.

If you run Windows XP, and have a computer that doesn’t have a hard drive light, you need this cool little utility. It works only with Windows XP, though, so you’re SOL if you’re using 2k, NT or any of the 9x series.

There’s also another utility from the same people that shows you how much HD is being accessed and when its being updated.

Cool handy utilities to have around. Enjoy!

My desktop is clear! For now. It won’t last, given my habit of treating the desktop as an urgent to-do list of files and folders. Can’t say the same on the Windows 2000 box (seen in the VNC window). Enjoy!
