Ode To Materialism
It seems as if summer is the time for shopping. For no particular reason, a list of overpriced things I want…
2.4 Ghz Macbook Pro — I have an original (first generation) 2.0 Ghz Macbook Pro, which I love. I have asked for an upgrade as my college graduation gift, and am selling my original one. I was going to actually sell it here at Lather Rinse Repeat, but I was able to find a...

*Cinema -- Oceans 13
Oceans 13 (2007)
You just can’t beat the first one…
I didn’t miss Catherine Zeta-Jones or Julia Roberts at all.
Oh, Andy Garcia. How annoying you are.
The european guy from Oceans 12’s part was totally useless. Maybe they were contractually obligated to put him in the movie?
Not the best movie ever, but still very entertaining with great acting.
Don Cheadle as...

It went really quickly. I think I liked this more than The Gladiator (to...

Camino + TextMate = The Suck
I have offically switched to Camino as my default browser. Its really gorgeous. Pimp My Camino is also great. I am using a intel-specific build of the 1.6 nightly and its just plain awesome.
The only glitch I have come across is you can’t use the “Edit in TextMate” plugin in Camino, just like you can’t use it in Firefox. Except Firefox has extensions that let you use the...

Oh Chairs
A couple months ago, my desk chair literally broke in half. I was using packing tape to hold it together, but I finally decided it was time for a new chair…

This is Not an Anecdote
I really suck at thinking up anecdotes. So, for your reading pleasure, another list of random uselessness…
I went ahead and modded the CoverSutra main window (pictured above). It was just way too big. Although I’ll admit that I still think that CoverSutra is overpriced, I took the plunge and bought it because I love the vinyl jewel case replacement. Its gorgeous. I am looking...
