I don't know if anyone else still reads LJ but I don't really have anywhere else to post about tonight.  The Velocitators had a show at kind of a rough bar tonight, and there was one new fan that really fell in love with our songs and I'm kind of feeling emotional for a change ( Read more... )

My father-in-law started dating a woman who is allergic to animals so he asked if we could take in his cat.  I did not want another pet for many, many reasons (1) but agreed to allow it to live on our porch temporarily after a bit of influence from my wife.  Of course cat ends up in the house, because Winter is coming and humans are weak.  Recently ( Read more... )

So I went to google news today instead of my general sources, and saw this article as one of the main stories.  I'm not going to debate the importance of this celebrity's weight loss (I have no idea who this guy is) but I find myself completely unable to understand the article.  It specifically says the guy lost weight after he went on a diet that ( Read more... )

The Asus that came with the broken keyboard is being sent back to Amazon.  I spoke to someone who knew what was going on and understood English well (as opposed to what I recently went through with Asus.)  It was a pleasant experience and I'm getting a full refund.

The main problem is that Asus has their customer service center in a different country, and they can only access very little about what is going on in the repair center.  They don't know anything, and also many of them are quite rude, trying to get rid of you before you can even give them your case number.  To speak with a supervisor, you must wait ( Read more... )

They have not resumed repairs on my Asus.  I sent the credit card information on Friday for the charges (because batteries are not covered under warranty.)  They have not yet processed it.  They sent my wife an e-mail saying that they will send her an e-mail when they process it...

On a much more negative note, my wife's keyboard came and the 'A' ( Read more... )
