computer for saleOk, 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.

Love that last one -- perfect puppitude
Love that last one -- perfect puppitude
that is the saddest thing I've ever seen!!! CHEER UP KIDDO!
I can guess what happened.... but what's happened has happened. Don't let it get you down. Just be yourself.
I hope today will be a better day for you. *hug*
HUGGLEBOMB
((((( (e:Jenks) )))))
I hope today is a not so shitty day.
Awww.... hugs to you! Feel better!! I command you!!! ;)
That photo just made me feel really awful. I hope you feel better soon :)
Wow, I'm sorry you had to endure whatever put you in that state. Hopefully the insanity is done and a glass of wine or something can be had.
Tomorrow is a new day and a chance to put today's b.s. behind ya.
Ok I hope that nothing is to wrong. I'm not going to ask you what happened because if it wasn't private you would have said what happened so asking what happened would kinda be a waste and also insensitive. I hope what ever the issue is can be resolved or maybe even fixed between you and who ever else was hurt. I know this sounds corny but try to remember that the next day is a new day and you start a new. Hopefully things get better.
(((((HUGS)))))
What happened?? Are you alright?? Would you like me to make you some dinner?
