PC vs. Mac

Posted in Computers on October 14th, 2005 by Chris

Around the world, the debate rages.  PC or Mac?  Some people prefer Macs, citing their sleek design, their simplicity, and their high cost.  Other people wouldn’t touch a Mac with someone else’s fingers, preferring instead the relatively lower cost, the wide range of components and accessories, and the availability of software..

It is my opinion that people prefer Macs if they don’t know any better.  And this makes a lot of sense.  PCs are not really geared toward making sure people understand what’s going on…just starting it up, you see a bunch of random technical gibberish appear on the screen, and you wonder what the heck it means, and you don’t know, so right away, just from turning it ON, you’re already developing low self-esteem.

So anyway, back to what I was going to say about Chili’s Managers. 

So you know you go to Chili’s, see.  You get seated.  You get your waitress.  You give your order.  Your waitress brings the food out.  You eat.  You pay.  You tip.  You leave.

This is what I’m used to at almost any restaurant. 

So WHAT do the following two things mean. 

Thing #1 (not as important) :  How come sometimes someone who is not your waitress brings out your food?  Hey, who are you, you don’t know anything about what I w– oh I see that you do!  Well, uh, thanks, dude.

That Jennifer Lopez…I swear

Posted in Random dreams, Girls on October 10th, 2005 by Chris

So I had a dream I was with my girlfriend in a warehouse-club-type store.  But my girlfriend was somewhere else in the store.  So Jennifer Lopez  was walking around the store with me, holding my arm.  (Jennifer Lopez is kinda short, did you know?)  So anyway, she stands on her tiptoes to get right in close to my ear and whispers, “You’re sexy.” 

I remember in my dream internally rolling my eyes.  Come on, Jennifer Lopez.  You know I have a girlfriend.  So then we keep walking around the store and occasionally she would reach up and kiss me, or lick me very very very lightly on the neck, and by the way it felt really good.  But still, I was irritated with Jennifer Lopez for trying to be a homewrecker.
