The One About Staples

The keener lawyer wannabe has finally decided to return the sample papers back to the main desk. :-P Freaking 4 damn days. For fuck sake, it took me only 30 mins to get it, take it to Staples, pay $3.60 & made copies for myself, & return it back. :-P

The One About The Lawyer Wannabe

Ok, I'm in a class with this chick who's aspiring to be a lawyer (well, she's quick to point out that she's taking her LSAT soon so I'm sure that's the path she wants to take). Maybe it's cause she's blonde so she has to prove to others that she's not just another "you know what" but damn, is it just me or do overachievers get on your nerves?

I swear, the guy who sat next to me shook his head & said "Damn it!" as soon as he saw her walk into class. Ok, that's definitely not a good sign, right? No offense but sometimes you can tell whether someone is likeable or not through first impression and well, a red flag went up when I saw her. Hahahahaha

The reason I brought this up is cause we have papers on reserves for the class which can be checked out (2 hours max) for our review and stuff. Well, Ms. Lawyer Wannabe decides to check it out on Monday night and keep it till God knows when. Ok, so I may sound bitter but damn it, play by the rules. TWO HOURS DAMMIT! She'll probably get an A+ now. What can I do? World is filled with competitive people so I guess I'll just have to step you but I think my procrastination & laziness will stop that from happening. So, I'm just gonna be mediocre and aspire to get a B+ (but hopefully not cause I really want that A). Hahahahaha

The One About Holly McNarland

Holly McNarland? Anyone remember her? Think her breakout hit back in the days was a little ditty called "Numb". I know she had an album out in 2003 called "Home Is Where" and then she disappeared??? Well, someone sent me her version of Phil Collins' "In The Air Tonight". I can't get it out of my playlist. It's GREEEEEEEEEAT! So haunting and definitely much better than the original.

Here's the tune.

The One About The Geek Toys

Cost of living is going up while wages are remaining stagnant* so I thought, let's see what FREE & LEGIT software (usually open source) we can substitute for the evil that is Microsoft. :-) Isn't it funny that I'm using MSN Space to rip on Microsoft and etc. Oh well, freedom of speech is a real bitch. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH

• Microsoft Office Suite for OpenOffice


• Adobe Acrobat for PDFCreator


• WinRAR or WinZip for 7Zip


• Macromedia Dreamweaver or MS Frontpage for NVu (N-View)


• IE or Opera or Netscape for Mozilla's Firefox


• Eudora or MS Outlook for Mozilla's Thunderbird


• MSN or AIM or ICQ or Yahoo! or IRC or etc.. for Gaim (compatible to most IMs in the market)


• Any audio editor/recorder that cost $$$ for Audacity


• Any paid "PC Optimization" tool for CCleaner (aka CrapCleaner)


• Any media player for VLC Media Player

I didn't find this all by myself though I am a proud user of Firefox and Thunderbird for a year now. I know, late bloomer. Anyway, I got most of the 411 from http://theopencd.org. I think all universities and colleges in AB should do the same. I think students would appreciate this service cause God knows not all of us are computer savy. :-) Other great sites for to check out are the Free Software Foundation and Sourceforge.net.

* Actually, as of September 1, the minimum wage for AB has risen from $5.90 to $7.00. It's still a dollar short of BC's standard but it's a nice improvement. :-)

Speaking of inner geekdom, here's a link Charissa sent. ;-) I'm only 18.14596% Geek. HAHAHAHAHAHA

The One About Movies Which Will Suck

Ok, one more entry so the first post doesn't get lonely. :-P

People who ask me to go see the following movies with them (free or not) will be shot (with spitballs cause I don't own a gun cause I'm in Canada & the process to get a gun is a pain in the a$$ ) :-P

• Into the Blue (Paul Walker & Jessica Alba)
• The Man (Samuel L. Jackson & Eugene Levy)
• Just Like Heaven (Reese Witherspoon & Mark Ruffalo; I love Reese but what was she thinking when she signed onto this flick? :-P)
  
• Cry_Wolf (no clue who's in it)

No offence but I don't think I would even waste my bandwidth & time to d/l (I mean sample) them.

The One About My Many Blogs

I don't know why I keep creating these things cause:

(a) I could never remember my user name & password to get into my account after a while.
(b) I really don't know what I could write about. I'm already stretching it with MSN Space. :-P
(c) I don't really know how to set this up. I tried it twice before and failed miserably. :-S

Nevermind about (c). I don't know what I was on about earlier. :-P
