Guess maybe I did have it in me after all. I know a couple were a bit crappy, but sometiimes that&#8217;s just how she goes.<\/p>\n<p>Today, I was intending to talk about the best DLC for <em>Rock Band<\/em>, but I&#8217;d rather just make a bit of a spiel about how I hate working on computers that aren&#8217;t mine. See, I&#8217;m making this post from my girlfriend&#8217;s laptop, as I will not be home at all today, and I had to make the last post, right? But anyway, I&#8217;m finding this very uncomfortable. The whole compressed keyboard thing is a pain to adjust to, and making my typing way slower. Don&#8217;t get me wrong; it&#8217;s a vey nice laptop, and I wouldn&#8217;t mind owning one myself, but I just can&#8217;t stand adjusting to a new keyboard.<\/p>\n<p>Much more of an issue is the fact that it&#8217;s running Windows Vista. Oh my God I hate Vista. It took me nearly half an hour to figure out how to access my FTP site or whatever through the network connections, and it really shouldn&#8217;t be that hard. I don&#8217;t think I could even do it again. And why doesn&#8217;t the &#8220;choose program&#8221; under &#8220;open with&#8221; have a bunch of default programs? I had to dig through the whole Windows directory to find the stupid Notepad. Notepad! And yes, I do all my HTMLing in Notepad. I&#8217;m sure it would be a lot easier with a program that would pick out wrong and useles code, but whatever. I&#8217;ve been doing it this way for six years, why change now? I hate change.<\/p>\n<p>On a lighter note, we watched <em>A Christmas Tale<\/em> from that 6-movie set last night. It was actually a lot funnier than it was scary. The plot was about a bunch of kids who found a dangerous criminal who had fallen into a pit. She had robbed a bank, and the kids were trying to get her to give them the money before they&#8217;d help her out of the hole. Then there was voodoo and zombies and a slightly ambiguous ending. It was okay, nothing special. I think my favourite part was that there were four boys, and when they were coming up with nicknames to use while talking to the criminal, they named themselves after the A-Team. That was funny.<\/p>\n<p>So yep. That concludes the 24 Days of Materialism. Hoped you enjoyed it as much as I hated finding a way to make a blog post every day for 24 days staight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, it&#8217;s now the 24th of December, and I have successfully made one news post every day.
