I found this on film_stills. It's from a collection of 70s grindhouse movie trailers. Do I have to explain why this is totally awesome? As my AP English teacher would say, "Juxtaposition!" Plus the look on the dude's face.

drownedinink, this post is especially for you. You MUST own this game!

My latest big writing project has at long, long last finally gotten under way--my first deadline is tomorrow--so naturally my life has been taken over by one of my periodic forays into the realm of computer gaming.

Bill Gates has finally turned full-blown supervillain!

"Malaria is spread by mosquitoes," Gates said while opening a jar onstage at a gathering known to attract technology kings, politicians, and Hollywood stars.

"I brought some. Here I'll let them roam around. There is no reason only poor people should be infected."

Couple cool add-ons I just discovered:

LJ Hook

FoxyTunes

I used LJ Hook to quickly make those links, and FoxyTunes is automatically displaying what I'm listening to right now. Muhahaha!

Check 'em out!

Meh.

My PC, which is about 3 years old, isn't booting up. Not good. I have most of my "irreplaceables" on a removable hard drive (THANK GOD), but this may be it for my trusty old compy. Good news: I have a laptop I can use. But if it's new computer time, I think it may be time to start saving up for a Mac. Even if I get my PC back up and running, I still might start socking the ducats away.

So--Mac aficionados, what's out there? The last time I used a Mac was about 10-12 years ago, so I'm kind of out of the loop.

EDIT: Well, I got the beast up and running again, but I've definitely got my eye on the iMac. Thanks so much for everyone's helpful suggestions!
