My Blog? they mostly come out at night …mostly?

Really? Me too. Wow. I feel so connected to you right now.

Kidding. As if I would have my own blog as my homepage?! That’s so vain!!! Jeez, how self-involved is that? *awkward laughter*

Is it? *awkward pause*

Guys? I can’t see your wall? Why can’t I see your fb wall? huh. so weird.

Serious Now.

Recently, I set-up my iGoogle (a personalized Google homepage). I was almost too chill to jump on the bandwagon… but it just looked too cool totally uber geeky… so I just couldn’t stop myself.

mostly-igoogle

Nerdy Google Gadgets I Like:

  1. Twitter (of course. first gadget added).
  2. Wordpress Post Gadget
  3. Ambient Clock (uber nerdy)
  4. Macworld
  5. Mashable!
  6. AppleInsider
  7. MacRumors
  8. Engadget

So if your life ain’t Googly enough… Google yourself an iGoogle.

~ and Google then said, “Jump for me little techno monkey!”
And I said, “How Hiiiigh!!”
And then I did a nerdy little dance. *shameful*

Dear MS Office,

We’ve had some fun times, haven’t we? Like that time I was presenting at a Linguistic Colloquium and Powerpoint crashed, and then randomly misplaced all my audio files, so I had to improvise and recreate the infant cries with my own voice :lol: So fun.

Oh and I will never forget that time when Word crashed whilst I was writing my MA thesis conclusion, and the back-up save failed, and the back-up back-up fail was a huge mess, so I had to re-write it from my actual “brain” memory at 5am. Good times. Wow.

Oh and Excel. The way Excel screws up everything. So, like, everything I did in it became a cesspool of disorder and crappiness. Love that. The long hours of entering data that I lost because of you will be remembered fondly.

And every time I transfered files from my Mac to a PC. Like the day I was printing out my thesis (at the last possible moment) and you decided to add a extra blank page to the beginning of every chapter so all the page numbers were pushed out of sync with the Table of Contents (which was a bloody disaster… again… because of you).

To summarize: YOU SUCK, Microsoft RUBBISH.

Fond Regards,
Lisa


PS. Meet my new bf.

We are so in love.

I don’t know about you, but I feel loads better when Spam apologizes to me with a sad face smiley.
