OMG It’s a Conspiracy

Posted in Categorised on March 31, 2008 by riezawa

I wonder why I didn’t post this sooner. Maybe I was looking for more conspiracies. Anyway I’m sick of it being in Draft mode so here it is.

Traffic jams are carefully engineered to slow traffic so that the maximum amount of gas is used up with minimal damage to the roads and minimal casualties

Solitaire is carefully designed to sap away your life-time essence until you are a mindless clicking shell looking for that last seven of spades. Same goes for bloody expert minesweeper.

Speaking of which, how does one cure a Solitaire addiction? Does it go the Alcholics Anonymous way? “Hi, I’m J. Doe and I have a problem with Solitaire.”

Made of Win

Posted in Categorised on March 28, 2008 by riezawa

Is a phrase I really like because it’s, you know, made of win. (Lame)

And I am not made of win. Well maybe a little bit, in a little way. Which I will talk about after one important detail is resolved:

This is awesome.

And now, on to the issue at hand:

I won a gift card playing Scrabble =)

Since the words are basically unintelligible, the (paper) card says in nice cursive letters, “A Gift of $15.00 For Scrabble Champion From D**** Lit. Society. Note: First Annual Scrabble Tournament 03.28.2008″. A D**** is a university which (guess what) I am being at. It is a D**** because I want to maintain a semblance of privacy, unusual as that is in the exhibitionist generation of Internet youth today.

Being a not-winner who has won very, very few things in my very, very short lifespan (as yet, though I’m shortening it all the time, gasp), winning stuff is a nice thing.

My Hot Computer

While I know you super1337 computer modders out there would scoff at this, I like it. It’s pretty. Special thanks to Alienware for providing the neat looking XP skin and also to I’m-not-sure-who for the lovely Paine Winamp skin.
