jeremy: zero. Hal 9000: 9000

I punched my computer in the back of his face. It’s a laptop. So he went down fast. He closed right up. Good. He’s a doo-doo head.

I’ve been having troubles with him all week. I uninstalled some program that kept giving me problems… it was an anti-virus program. Then I tried to re-install it… turns out that when I reinstalled it, it gave me a virus. Then Windows found this program which it automatically installed for security reasons. It tried to update it… but forced me to buy it first. Which would’ve been fine except that for security purposes (to keep myself from doing further damage), I wasn’t allowed to access the internet… this is worse than HAL 9000. We created a monster out of these computers, and they have created a dependent monster out of us.

News is weird. If you heard that Lady Lohan was going out with a Lady DJ, would you believe it? If you heard that Will Smith’s son, Jaden, is going to star in a remake of the Karate Kid, would you believe it? You have to. The most absurd news are always the most true. If the Jackson 5 are having a reunion tour, and Michael isn’t going to be there, do they have to change their name to the Jackson 4? Because that would just look stupid. It’s one of the concerts to look forward to… but only if Janet’s there, too.
