Speaking of reinstalling, what applications do you have to have on your computer?
My list, in no particular order:
Mozilla Firefox with Mouse Gestures add-onI’m used to it, Chrome installs per user instead of per computer which irritates me and has no mouse gestures, Safari also has no mouse gestures that I know of — please correct [...]

Last weekend, Yut helped me clean install Windows 7 on my computer. I started to reinstall all of my fave apps, but I got stuck at the Sims 3, so I didn’t get to Picasa 3.5 ’til yesterday. Doooood, it has this new name tag feature, which is kind of like the way [...]

Yesterday I was tired and achy all day with a low grade fever (~99°F). Then, for the first time since… elementary school? or kindergarten? I threw up (from being sick, not from being drunk:p). All I was trying to do was cook some innocuous bok choy and I couldn’t.
I didn’t eat too much [...]

We went to see Green Day’s American Idiot musical at Berkeley Rep today — the Saturday matinee. Usually, since it’s a matinee, we’re somewhat surrounded by older gray haired types who sometimes fall asleep and snore or talk too loudly, being somewhat hard of hearing. But this time, there wasn’t quite the same [...]

Yut showed me this yesterday. (Or was it the day before? Spending close to 24 hours in airports or otherwise traveling confuses my already poor sense of time.)
It’s Neil Gaiman’s library in his basement. OMG, are you not jealous?! Look at those tilted shelves for easier viewing! There are even [...]

I was at the Other Change of Hobbit when a man walked in and asked if they carried the Bible. They don’t. He was kind of agitated, and became more so, in a way that intimated that he could not understand why the place wouldn’t carry the Bible. The Bible! At [...]

So this is the battery from my MacBook Pro. Unfortunately, the laptop is out of warranty and the battery wasn’t one of the recall batteries (although I thought it ought to have been, I mean, look at it!). I’m a Windows user for the most part so it was a lightly used machine, [...]
Right now, the time is 05:06 on 07/08/09. (And in fact, if Wordpress let me schedule down to the seconds I could’ve scheduled this for 04:05:06 07/08/09. But alas.)
So I entered a contest at Hair Thursday for Pureology NanoWax. Honestly, I didn’t think I’d win. I don’t win these things — a million other people enter and the random number generators don’t like me. But I won! Yay! She did have five contests going on at once, so [...]

When Transformers came out, we actually rather liked it. I mean, you have to turn off your brain entirely, but sometimes that’s just perfect for a hot summer afternoon. And okay, it was a little too much like a two hour long GM (or some car company, I forgot) advertisement, but well… overall [...]
