Five Minutes

Things that a horde of drunken partygoers at my neighbours house have said in the last five minutes…

“Fucking whoreeeeeeeee.”
“Noooo, set it on fire!”
“You have to make it bigger.”
“Noooooooo… fuck yeah!”
“That cocksucker!”
“And then she wanted to go get pizza.”
“Eat the dog! Eat it! Eat it!”
“Woooooohooooooo!”
“It’s an orange.”
“Weeeeeeee are the championsssssss my frienddddddsssss and we’ll keep on fuckingggg till the enddddddd.”

I would love to know what this stimulating conversation is regarding.

MacBook RSS

My beloved MacBook, Sabastian, is just over two months old and is the only computer I use in day to day life, I am extremely happy with it… Or should I say was? Recently, it has suffered a series of random shutdowns after being turned on, which quickly deteriorate into a refusal to start-up at all. It is apparently part of the 12% of 1.83GHz MacBook’s that suffer from RSS (Random Shutdown Syndrome).

Fan-fucking-tasitc.

It started doing this last Saturday, as I was checking email it suddenly shut down, I didn’t think much of it at the time as everything was fine up until that point and wasn’t very concerned. The next day I struggled to turn it on and heard that bloody start-up sound about fifty times before it was stable enough to use. Matt is going to take it back to Apple Care for me this week and he is lending me his iBook to use while it’s away being fixed or set on fire and dropped off a six story building.

I recorded the above videos incase he can’t get it to demonstrate RSS in store (which I highly doubt) and also to demonstrate how fucking frustratting it is to work with a system that shuts down randomly. Hopefully it will be fixed or replaced quickly without much delay.

I now despise the sound of a MacBook turning on.

Update…

Matt took my MacBook in on Wednesday, he said the guy who served him was a bit of a n00b and didn’t seem to know about the RSS problem, a problem which Apple has acknowledged and that is so huge people are planning filing lawsuits against Apple. Guess he is more of a Today/Sunrise news kind of guy than a /. or Digg guy. It had to be sent away to the service centre, as they don’t fix them in-store, and it may take between 7 to 17 days. 😦

Rancid Nuts

Matt and I were talking about his rancid nuts today…

Kitta: What are you chewing?
Matt: Peanuts. They weren’t very nice, I think they are a bit stale, I kinda wish I didn’t eat them now.
Kitta: Do nuts go stale?
Matt: Yeah, then they go rancid.
Kitta: Mmm, rancid nutty goodness.
Matt: You don’t want to eat them when they’re rancid…
Kitta: Oh no, I do, I love the taste of rancid in the morning.
Matt: You can’t really tell from what they look like…
Kitta: Actually, I just like saying the word rancid, it’s such a cool word.
Matt: Just a little off colour, but they are nuts – they do that – then you eat them and you feel like vomiting for like an hour.
Kitta: Rancid man!
Matt: Sweetie…
Kitta: Yes?
Matt: What have you been taking?
Kitta: Rancid peanuts.

The truth is I’m drugged up on head cold medication to stop my head feeling like it will explode.
