soapbox

I don’t really want to discuss this much, but for those unaware there’s a story on the wires that says that Terrell Owen’s hospital trip wasn’t just an allergic reaction. Crazy if true.  and sad.

So my G4 has been fairly slow for a while, of which I always chalked up to iTunes and other programs being pissed off at my damn near full hard drive. I recently got a new 250GB backup drive, and partitioned it to store some shit, as well as make a back-up of my Powerbook disk. Cleaning things up and making some free space did help for a while, but things have gotten slower than ever. Now, I realize the new iTunes is a bit slower than the last, but it certainly doesn’t account for all of my recent shit. You don’t really need to defragment a Mac (like you would a PC if it decided it start slowing down like this) because of the file management (or that’s what I hear). I was looking at Top the other day in the terminal, and noticed that I have 65 processes open, with only a few actually running. I assume it is this giant number of open programs eating up my RAM, but most of this shit seems reasonable to have open or the abreviation doesn’t make sense to me. Anybody ever had this problem? Advice? Trying kill -9 on random shit could get interesting trying to figure it out …

All you have to do is ask.  What would have been cooler is if nobody knew who she was and the dude got his prom date.  oh well.

I guess Nathaniel is busy - does your computer work yet, dude?  Anyway, don’t forget to go get Alternative Volume 4 this week.  I don’t have any review of the tunes b/c my internets aren’t working today very well.

The Gateway Grizzlies, members of the Frontier League, have introduced what they call “Baseball’s Best Burger.”  What is it?  A burger topped with sharp cheddar cheese, two slices of bacon… and served between a Krispy Kreme original glazed donut.  I’m more than a bit skeptical.

Watchin’ this show about the last time the Highwaymen got together to record an album, back in the mid-90’s.

They were sittin’ ’round, talkin’ ’bout where they’d go on tour, when Waylon vetoed going to France, prompting Kristofferson to object, based on France’s cultural significance. Waylon’s response:

“I never said I had class; I just promised I’d be here.”

Damn, man, what a line.

RIP, Waylon and John.
Keep on chooglin’, Willie and Kris.

…I can’t really add anything clever to make this more amusing.

Truly dumbfounding…
