There are a couple of problems with me actually creating a 500-word entry here today.

1. I don't think I have word-count function.
2. It's 1:36am and I sort of want to go to sleep. I still have to make my bed, yo, I did laundry today.
3. It has been difficult for me to think of a topic upon which I could elaborate for 500 words without actually, You know, going public with my thoughts. This blogging thing is all well and good while I can keep it cryptic, abstract, and essentially uninterpretable by strangers/acquaintances, but expressing a real, coherent, considered thesis to anyone skulking about is probably not something I want to be a part of. Again, many people want to be the American Idol, I want anything but. I can create little exercises for myself to self-express to larger communities, but they are exercises and only demonstrate that I *can* do it when I force myself, not that it suddenly becomes natural/desirable.

Anyway, the only topic I could think of that I would be willing to go on and on about is how much I hate using PCs compared to my Macintosh. I know no one calls them Macintoshes anymore. It's strange.

So, here's the beginning of a list, and I'll probably add to it over the coming days. Who knows, I might even get to 500 words.

- the applications I am currently using sometimes show up in the bottom toolbar or whatever You PC users call it (I would like to call it a "dock") and sometimes they don't. They just aren't there even though an application is open. Especially (not always!!) when the window is open but hidden somewhere behind other windows on the desktop, i.e. when that would most come in handy. WTF?
- firefox is unbelievably slow
- I keep getting these messages popping up about how my computer might not be secure. Or that my some virus thing or other is/isn't active. Jeeeeezus. Who wants to have to deal with that shit all day?
- I hate having to use control as my function key because control is my function key FOR OTHER THINGS
- I hate that I got used to using control and now I'm dysfunctional on Mac keyboards!! aaahhh!!
- I hate the stupid trackpad responding to my fingers lingering over it and taking me unexpected and unintended places.
- I hate the inbuilt photo-organizing software being such utter fantastical crap.
- the fact that I have to go through a process of clicking and waiting and waiting and waiting to put this computer to sleep, rather than just closing it.. of course, that is somewhat better than the narcolepsy suffered by the PC in my office. THAT can get REALLY irritating.

Anyway, while I go to sleep/think more about these things, I recommend to You fmylife.com, a website that will either make You feel better or not.
