Ok, this is getting ridiculous.
I bought a new computer in... february?
And the old one has been sitting on my desk next to it since then. I don't use it. I just keep thinking maybe someday I'll want some of the old info/apps off of it.
But it's been 6months now. And I haven't wanted anything.
AND the new line of imacs just came out, which I'm sure made this one devalue like crazy.
So it's time to get off my butt and sell it.
And I don't know where to start. Craigslist? ebay?
But I figured I'd ask here first...
It's in perfect shape. I even have the original box, install CDs and all that stuff. Even the receipt!
specs-
iMac G5.
Bought 10/26/04. Paid ~$2200
20" monitor
1.8ghz G5 processor
512mb RAM (upgradable)
160GB hard drive
built-in wireless/bluetooth
24x CD burner
8x DVD burner
It does not have a built-in iSight camera- but I have an external one I can include if you want it.
and it has AppleCare on it, which is still valid.
There is nothing wrong with it. It is not unacceptably slow or anything. And I take good care of my stuff, so it's not scuffed up or anything.
I only upgraded b/c 1: i had a credit at the apple store and 2: I wanted the intel processor.
I will restore the hard drive to the way it came. But I can also upgrade to OS 10.4 if you want.
I'm asking $600, which is about where they're going for on ebay.

Random giggle...So....
I'm not working today. Which means I can sleep in. Which means I can stay out late the night before.
So, I was looking for something to do. Started calling friends.
One girl said "I'm at the casino with the king of the douchebags".
Then later I got a message that said "uhhhhh. The douchebaggery has begun!"
In the meantime I was talking to a (cute!) friend, and we were trying to figure out what to do, but we are both very indecisive, so it was super painful. We finally decided that we should at least eat. But he didn't really feel like eating in. But I really didn't feel like your usual take-out fare- pizza/wings/subs. So we finally had a brilliant idea: WEGMAN'S! So he picked me up, and we went to wegman's. And it was fun.
But to get back to my story...
So one friend made the douchebag comment. Which I mentioned to the other guy. He said "www.hotchickswithdouchebags.com" I figured he was joking. But, it's a real site. Sort of funny, but sort of taking a somewhat funny idea WAY too far. It's mostly a bunch of people posting pictures like this:
and making fun of them. Apparently there's a whole new 'douchebag' vocablulary that I was unaware of. Including the obvious ('bag) and the derivative ('baguette), and then going on into scrote, scrotology, scrotologist, grieco, bleeth, lobster, etc etc.
But anyway, so I told her about it, and her reply, which I think is priceless:
You mean www.snootyfox.com?
aaaah, hahaha.

I don't think that those chicks are hot. I think being a sexy hot woman is a bit more complicated than having a breast falling out of a dress or a top.
Oh, wait. I'm sorry you said "chick" not "woman" My apologies. That being said, I don't think that chicks with their beasts falling out of their tops and dresses are hot. But that is just me. Your mileage may vary.

let's try again(one of the few things about being late for work is seeing this sunrise)

One more footnote to a previous journal. I meant to tell you of my admiration for you taking your rare time off to partake in the dog rescue project in Gasport. I thought that was cool,

Maybe I should make it to work at sunrise too, then I can come back early. :) Hehe.
Mundane question -> when do you have breakfast and what do you generally have for breakfast?

my weekend...Category: pix
So...
I've been spending a good bit of my time working with a dog rescue. Unfortunately, I have been asked not to post about it. But sometimes I do anyway. And this is one of those times.
So yesterday there was a meet-up, bbq type deal outside of Lockport. Lots of people, lots of dogs, lots of beer... it was a lot of fun. And I took a lot of pictures. (and (e:ajay)- you would be proud of me. I was very well-behaved. I promise.)
Here are a few.
An unexpected visitor. I'm not sure I would have had the nerve to hold it, I must say.
Blue eyes on dogs are amazing. (particularly THIS dog- the other eye is brown.)
My fave pic of the evening: a "vicious pit bull" giving kisses and more kisses as people laugh their heads off.
"I'm not sleeping! I swear" (snore, drool, snore)
Ahhhh, to be a puppy.

Puppiessss!! Yay for puppies!
OK, i have to ask. Why would anyone ask you not post about a dog rescue? Is it a covert anachist operation or something? Psst... don't tell anyone, we are saving lives and doing good things for our animal friends. I would think that positive word of mouth would be a good thing.

freaky weather!Category: pix
So I can't decide if the sky tonight was simply gorgeous- or more like apocalyptic, with all this freaky wind. I kept half expecting the sky to just open up or something. I was driving home and couldn't help but try to take pictures from a moving car with my phone... And then I think I practically killed (e:Libertad) since he was riding around on his bike (I think also taking pictures) and I was not paying as much attention as I probably should have. But here are some of my pix- I can only imagine what someone with a better eye could have done...

Very cool photos!

I tought the sky was going to open right up as well. It was freaky! I was waiting on someone to meet up with me, and I was standing outside near UB south, when the dark clouds, wind and breaks of sun all mixed together. It actually reminded me of a scene out of Ghostbusters.. and I half expected the Staypuft marshmallow man to come bounding around the corner. Nice that you got some pics :)

Yup, on forest elmwood turning right on forest. And ok, I didn't really "almost" kill you.... but you were at the corner right as I was turning. I actually turned and waved and thought maybe you saw me- and then after I parked in my driveway I walked back up to see if you were still there. But you weren't. But I'm certainly glad I didn't have to post that I killed (e:freedom).

Glad you caught it. I didn't have a camera but I stopped dead on my tracks (and someone bumped into me) as I stepped out of office yesterday evening. :)
Thanks!
