"Bitch poured beer in my weave!"

[batskeets]

I had the most insane dream last night, but all I can currently remember from it is that I somehow landed on America's Next Top Model and Tyra Banks was telling me that I had good odds at going far in the competition, and giving me posing tips. WTF? That is a terribly unusual thing to have pop up in my subconscious, considering I've actually watched that show maybe twice, and I was doing various chores around the house while it was on. Maybe it's because I got bored the other day and read the TWOP recap of the most recent episode?

Conan O'Brien is taking over the Tonight Show!...in 2009, that is. I think this would be a good move, oh, nowish? I don't particularly like or dislike Leno, but he has never gotten more than a light chuckle out of me, whereas Conan has caused me to completely bust a gut on more than one occasion.

But wow, does anyone in the world have enough creative juice and staying power that we can trust them to still be just as funny and enjoyable to watch five *years* from now? His show has lasted longer than that of many other network comedic personalities, which is already something. But, I think if anyone could do it, Conan would certainly be on the list, assuming they give him similar freedoms to what he has on Late Night.

So you know all that crap I rattled off yesterday, about how I wasn't that sore from wushu and I'd be totally okay really soon? Well, then my new trainer came along yesterday evening and said, "hey, let's do 3 sets of 20 ball squats! And then even more squats with the bar!" and today my legs are on FIRE. It hurts my muscles to walk, and my arms are sore, too. I'm going to get so much crap for it at practice today. Stupid boys with their stupid fast metabolisms and their stupid doing half as much to be in twice as good of shape as I am. :p (yes, I know that's wrong)

Speaking of which, my new trainer seems good so far. We went over what I'd been doing with my previous trainer, and she was immediately looking for changes to make in my program, in order to help me get more out of the time I put into it. She really appears to know her stuff, so I'm curious as to how well the various changes will work out for me.

AirPort Express! Waaaant. Actually, I just want wireless in general, but hey, it's small and cute. ;p

Anyway, I'm off for now.

So who replaces Conan?

We actually get all three latenight-type shows over here, but at screwed-up times on multiple channels (I think we get the previous weekday's episodes on CNBC and E4, but I couldn't tell you for certain, and someone else appears to have a wodge of old Conan for no apparent reason). So I could keep up, but it's hard not to just lose track.

Airport express is sick.

Then again, so is this powerbook! Wheeeee... ;-)

Ice/cold to prevent swelling. Extra water to dilute lactic acid, heat and light exercise to flush it out. NSAIDs throughout as needed.

But you already know that by now, right?

AirPorts in general suck, they have really crappy signal, and their entirely proprietary system is a pain in the ass to work with, get one of the cheap $20 (802.11b) access points, or a $40 wireless router if you don't already have a router and you'll be very happy with it, and it'll be much easier to work with, and much less limited.

Of course that won't play music for you, but if that's the killer feature you can get nice little devices that plug into your tv and stereo and not only can play music from your computer over the network or wireless connection but also videos of various types, like divx/mpeg4 (really anything that you can play on your computer) for $80-$100, and it'll all still probably be cheaper than an AirPort Express.

Of course it's not small, but small like that is not really what you want when you're talking about an access point, you want something with a nice big antenna on it.

Ok, I'm done ranting now. :-/

LOL, yeah, I figured there were better/more cost-effective options out there, but I haven't really researched it at all... it's kind of far down on my wish list, and I haven't been making decent buck$ for *that* long. :)

Check out the bookstore. They had some cheepy stuff there with student discount...and if you need help with the discount just holler. :)
