I don't understand. I can see why online stores would upgrade their computers to handle increased traffic. I don't see how customers upgrading their computers would help that situation, unless they are so old that they can't deal with today's Web. The servers would be overloaded, not customers' computers.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.p ... ack+friday

The day after Thanksgiving, when stores decide to open at the asscrack of dawn to start Christmas sales. Most people fall for this ploy and wake up at 4am to fight other mothers for cheap presents.

Note: It used to be the asscrack of dawn. Now it's 12:00 am Friday. People working at walmart and target and other large supercenters have no Thanksgiving because of greedy jerks. It's one of the most pathetic displays of greed you will ever see. I've seen hungry hyenas hovering over a dead carcass act more civil than the people grabbing $2 waffle irons at walmart.

^ I'm not going to look back through the pages to figure this out, but why in the world are we talking about Black Friday/Thanksgiving when it's already the middle of December??

I feel sorry for you, Raspberrytea, a whole day of karaoke... such a loose!

:roll: I you're bored at home, we'd always be glad to see another of your drawings in the cantr images thread...

;) Hope you be well soon!

I hate mondays. Just hate them. Only one week left, then a week off, then... "I hate mondays", again.

Not happy that I spent $60 for the new Star Wars MMO and then $15/m to sit in hour long queues to join the server I play on with my friends.

woke up before the alarm
had pain
broke two nails
the blinds fell down again
the broken nail got stuck in my thights
the door to the car boot closed by itself because of the snow, had to open it again
the door to the car refused to stay open when I should get out of the car
Something from my pocket got stuck in the zipper to my handbag
I poured water over my glasses

And only four hours of this day has passed yet. Help.

Go back to playing Skyrim, or has that been forgotten about already?

Well, it's been a month already since that game came out. Plenty of time to play through a single player game.

From what I understand it is not an online game, you only play by yourself. WoW is online..

Yay grades. I just barely managed not to mess up my major GPA.

I feel awful, either because I am ill or have allergies. I don't deal well with being sick. Internally, I am very dramatic ("I can't even remember what being healthy FEELS like!") and externally I just look very pathetic and listlessly freak out when I start having difficulty breathing. I feel like I really need to go back to bed, but that invariably makes me feel worse so I am stuck at my desk. I am thisclose to going on a mad search for drugs, but anything I found would probably be past expiration. The only thing we use often is ibuprofen for me and aspirin for husbandface.

I baked a loaf of bread for the first time yesterday and it came out okay. I baked a loaf of no-knead bread today and it did not (but the center is still edible and I have made it my meal for the day). Also, the cookies I made for my boy's coworker came out somewhat strange. The cookie dough and no-knead bread dough were made about the same time last night, so I think my head must have been feeling cotton-y from the probably-allergies and I did something stupid with flour both times.
