the inevitable
So surely, if you've been here for long enough to know better, you've noticed that I pretty much don't write in this journal anymore. I guess unlike my undergrad days, I have a lot less to say.

whoda thunk I'd ever miss Comcrap
Dear Marriott Suites Atlanta Midtown,
Please do not flaunt the awesomeness of your web package on the front page of your site. Not only is it not free like many of your competitors*, but it's a turtle-esque 10 Mbps. That's 10x slower than home. Boooo. And here I defragged my lappy and ran a full virus scan cos I thought it was my fault when ( Read more... ) -
