Remake/Remodel

[vovat]

John Edwards is dropping out of the presidential race? Man, even with an early primary, I still only get two choices? Or is there someone else on the Democratic side I'm forgetting? I was going to mention in my last entry that Kucinich leaving meant I could vote for Edwards with no qualms, but I forgot, and now that comment no longer applies. I guess that makes Obama the obvious choice, even though I really don't know if he can win the general election. I guess you have to live in New Hampshire to really get much say in the primaries, but I doubt that's worth all the snow.

I changed my journal's colors to one of the default styles (choosing my own colors usually results in something practically unreadable), but I'm sure that doesn't matter to anyone, since you all read my entries on your own friends pages (assuming you read them at all). LiveJournal really wants me to switch over to Style 2, but I used that for a while, and didn't like the friends page display as much as Style 1's. I guess I could always manually alter the display, but I'm too lazy. {g} It might be nice to be able to put links on my entry displays, but I'm not even sure that's possible without a paid account, and does anyone really ever look at such links anyway?

And while I'm on the subject of confusing websites, am I the only person who finds Facebook to be such? Every time I log in, there's all this stuff about new applications, many of which sound kind of cool. Really, though, I'd be more likely to check them out if there weren't so many at once, you know? Still, I kind of think that the fact it IS confusing makes it better than MySpace, since at least there's generally something to play around with. Really, I think MySpace has developed to be more of an advertising site than a social one.

In other news (not that that last thing was really news), I went out to eat at 99 with bethje and Dorothea last night. I think it was only the third time I'd been there, and the second that I actually got dinner. They have a build-your-own-pasta special for $8.99, so I had linguine, Italian sausage, marinara sauce, and mushrooms. I thought it was really good, as was the bread they served with it. Maybe I'll have to go back there again after 4 on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday.

I have to put my clean clothes away at some point. I hate putting clothes away, but I guess it's necessary.

I can't stand Facebook anymore due to the whole applications thing. All my "friends" (feh, yeah right) always send me those dumbass applications even after I TOLD THEM to NOT SEND THEM TO ME.

Mmmm...I love 99. There are a million of them around here. one of the families I babysit for sometimes goes there and hangs out all evening(which I totally don't get).

The one in my area is actually pretty new, which is one reason why I haven't been there that many times. Both times I got dinner, though, I liked it a lot. I'm not so thrilled by the free popcorn, since I've never been a big fan of popcorn in general, but it's not like I disapprove of it or anything.

Oh yeah, I need your address...I sent you an email somewhere else, but I forget where.

[vovat.livejournal.com]

I got your message on Facebook, but I'm not sure I have your e-mail address, so I haven't been able to send it.

Facebook used to be nice and simple, but then it got all crazy a year ago. Even longer ago (aka like three years) you used to only be allowed one photo (your profile picture) and there wasn't that much to fill out on your page. Oh, how long ago those days were...

Man, kids today are going to be expecting progress at breakneck speeds. There's already been something made to replace DVD's and those didn't even last as long as VHS. Not that DVD is remotely dead or anything, but the fact that there's already something else supposedly better is speedy. And not that the progress of Facebook really compares to data storage formats...
Just give me movies that I can walk around in and I'll be happy

Wasn't Facebook only for college students at one point, or something like that?

What storage format is supposed to be better than DVD's?

With the ability to interact, or just observe? I think the former would be a whole lot harder than the latter. {g}

Yeah, I think originally they only had a few schools on it, and then they slowly added more (you had to prove you went there with your .edu e-mail address).

For the storage formats better than DVD's (at least for consumers), there's Blu-Ray and HD-DVD (or HD-something.. I can't remember the part after the hyphen). They're both discs, but they're supposed to hold a lot more information and have better quality picture/less compression. I think they're still "warring," but I heard that Blu-Ray is winning. The players for both formats are still really expensive though, so I think it'll be a while before they (or one of them) takes over DVD.

Facebook = non-intuitive

And your LJ design matters to me since you're not my friend (yet?).

Well then, do you like my layout or not?
