Pretty sure it's only soldered in for the Retina models as well as the Airs.

Went to a concert that was apparently Lesbian night out. I'm not even joking. I was there with 2 other guys and besides us, EVERY PERSON IN THE CONCERT VENUE was a lesbian couple. I'm all down with lesbians, but I felt soooooo out of place there as a guy. It was very twilight zone night to end a long and strange day.

Being from a pretty white city in a pretty white country, I never experienced before how aware of your skin color you can be.

I'm gonna take the GMAT sometime in the next month. Writing 2 essays in an hour is the only part that worries me.

going to grad school?

Yeah. I didn't really want to yet, but bouncing around from low paying job to low paying job at 24 while living with my parents is becoming unbearable. I need to get out and this seems to be the quickest route. Currently jobless once again.

False.

.com is so much better than .ca

Whenever ever a Canadian or European makes fun of you guys for having a healthcare system from the middle ages, remind them that you have amazon.com.

Much of my weekend was spent waiting on Comcast. I spent 3 hours on hold and talking with "technicians" on Saturday, planned my Sunday around an on-site visit which didn't arrive during the 2-hour window they promised. When the cable guy finally arrived, it turned out that not one of the four cables in my home were attached to the actual cable line. In the end, I gave him a Racer 5 and he gave me a $0 installation which took him about an hour. Nice guy.

I don't know my account number either. The bank can easily look it up with your name and debit card number; ain't a thing. I have too many important things to remember, like who Justin Bieber is dating and Tenga's entire masturbation-assistance product line.

Have you done any bank transactions before? I'm pretty sure knowing your Acct # is standard...

Steve Youngblood · « **Reply #14911 on:** September 10, 2012, 02:02:11 PM »

I don't think it's as standard as you think. There's been more than one occasion where a teller seemed surprised that I actually knew my account number, as I think most of the time they just do a lookup on your account as you're filling out the slip.

One of my bank accounts has the same number as my personal identity number (I suppose that's similar to your Social Security number). It's pretty handy.

I just wish it was more open in the reflection. I wish people were ok with saying that they thought a lot of the actions taken after 9/11 were unwise. I'm also very unwilling to tolerate the bush apologists on days like this (and the day osama bit the bullet), because they take this as an opportunity to retcon things however they want.

It might be OK if they actually were Bush apologists; they aren't even rationalizing bad decisions, they have just bought the whole bill of goods.

So today I was on the bus looking out the window and saw a pretty girl, who then saw me. We made eye contact. Eye contact of the first degree. And instead of me thinking that she'd think that I'm a creep, and looking away shameful, I held to my eye contact, thinking that I'm worth looking at. So now I have experienced that feeling, you know self confidence. It was somewhat pleasant.

Yeah.
Wink: Whenever you can. Just put it out there.

Cunnilingus sign: At the dinner table, your first dinner with her parents. Direct it at her mom.

allergies are just absolutely brutal for me this season.
