Yeah, you can’t really joke around with those dudes. The interesting thing that I’ve found is that the Canadian Border Guards are generally way meaner than their American counterparts. According to them, going to New York for 4 days and only coming home with 2 bags is reason for concern.
We’ve welcomed a new addition to No Reason HQ this week. No, no, don’t get worried. Neither of us has procreated (mercifully). We have simply brought new computer life into the fold as Jamie’s new 17-inch Macbook has finally arrived.
I must say, I’m not really a Mac guy. When the time came for a new computer, I couldn’t really justify spending the extra cash based on what I use the computer for (surfing, chatting, porn, and occasionally writing). But, I gotta say, this new machine of Jamie’s… damn. It’s one impressive piece of equipment. As we speak, he’s sitting to my right simple repeating “awesome… awesome….awesome…” about every 20-30 seconds.
Don’t get me wrong, I respect the Mac. I think that they are sleek, sexy machines that have great performance aspects and can take a beating. Also, the iPod is the single greatest invention of this century. Based on what I need a computer for though, I’m good with the PC. Hell, I’m even one of about three people on the planet (presumably one is Bill Gates) who even likes Vista. It’s just one more aspect to the whole “Ebony and Ivory” dynamic that makes up mine and Jamie’s friendship.
And yes, you’re welcome for that extra-special glimpse into our lives.
Oh, finally, just to continue my Cal Ripken-like streak of non-sequiturs, have you seen this show “Castle?” Should they ever When they make a movie of my life, I insist on being played by Nathan Fillion
Our Canadian border guard (when we entered Canada) was much nicer than the one we had when we entered the US. Maybe it was the time of night. Although I must say I was impressed that we didn’t get searched when we said we were entering the country to go to a webcomics weekend.
I must be your third person, I’m the only person I know who likes Vista. It’s the shiny that gets me
Windows 7 will be able to get you just as well, and it runs better. As for border guards, I’ve got to say, I’m not too familiar with their more aggressive tactics.
Whenever I ask men for their top five “could turn me gay” list, Nathan Fillion always seems to make the cut. He’s a damn hit!
I always love it when k-love makes her quarterly read-through and drops a bunch of comments.
The head tech guy at work found out I was a WoW geek so he hooked me up with illegal innerweeb. Yeah-hah, NERDS FTW!
