Just another conversation with ExplodingCat
Exploding Cat: ok. afternoon is probably fine.
Praxis Loki: And no cats or eggs, right?
Exploding Cat: you won’t find any cats or eggs at Chipmunk’s. No poultry of any kind, for that matter.
Praxis Loki: Cats are poultry?
Exploding Cat: did i just imply that cats are poultry?
Praxis Loki: lol.
The timestamps on this are hilarious, btw.
Boo.
Yeah.
I’ve got my EPII: Attack of the Clones ticket. I will see you next week, in line for the eight-thirty AM showing. Thursday baby! Of course, I’ll be visiting the line the night before. There’s always something interesting to see, people to meet.

I really, really want that new iMac. Yes, the desklamp one. Yes the one with the SuperDrive. And I also want the Audigy, even though it won’t really do anything for me. And I want to build a new machine. Something in the 2.2Ghz range. Something that uses that sexy new DDR226 ram. Because, well, I need it to be that fast to update this blog.
So there. Actually, I’ve been meaning to do this for a while. But DreamWeaver MX just gave me the “push” I needed. (Macromedia, you can send the check now.) I like the new interface. Very clean.

Of course, ThePinkLamb still wouldn’t dare defile his Intuous tablet by using Paint Shop Pro. One would think that a program this pricey would have had something this useful added to it in one of its last seven iterations. Of course, I never knew what one was like until I didn’t have one. It’s fantastic. Really has improved the way I work. By work, I mean look at pictures and reminisce about the last nine years that I’ve been in DC.
So, I’m thinking I’m going to redo the template for this site. I think I want people to go directly to the journal, as opposed to having to click on something.

So she asks me:
“Why do you always look all over the place, even when you’re talking to other people.”
“I just don’t want to be taken by surprise.”
“By what?!”
“I don’t know, haven’t been surprised yet.”
