Petty Ranting

• I'm on my string cheese thing again. Every once in a while I'll curse the food industry for the crappy white cheese stick blobs they label as "string cheese." THERE OUGHTA BE A LAW. Okay, so this conversation is 5 years old, but it still stands. I found some honest-to-god string cheese in an Italian deli once, but it's about 100 miles away. Bah.
  
  
• So here on the West Coast we finally finally have a live event in the same time zone. What does NBC do? TAPE DELAYS IT FOR 3 HOURS. That's right. While the rest of the world watches the opening ceremonies tonight, we'll be blacked out. No getting online to chat in real time things like "did you just see Celine Dion jump out of that paper moose???" My entire TV life has been tape delayed. I hate you, NBC.
  
  
• I really need a third thing to rant about, so... Celery! Yeah. It sucks. But yet people seem compelled to put it in things like chicken salad and tuna salad for absolutely no good reason. MIND CONTROL! IT'S A PLOT!

1. Guys? If you're going to send your sweetheart flowers in a box, you might want to make sure she actually has a vase to put them in once she gets them. *tries not to sporfle at the coworker*
   
   
2. I've been looking into desktop computers, and while I probably could get things cheaper if I built it myself, the thought alone makes me tired. Anyone have anything good or bad to say about HP computers? They seem to have less junk pre-installed than Dell as a rule.

I'm taking this Olympics off.

Yeah, fuck you, NBC. Anything possibly live on the Opening Ceremonies is being blocked by NBC. I've tried. Instead I'm supposed to sit around for three hours like a good little mindless consumer and wait for NBC to dole it out in their own sweet time.

Forget it. I'm not watching the Olympics this time around, NBC. YOU'VE PISSED ME OFF THAT MUCH.

*FLOUNCES*
