So I'm here at College an hour and a half earlier than I'm supposed to be, using their library computers for non-College related things. And instead of writing out my notecard for Speech or starting my Statistics homework, I've been watching this clip of Krasinskaaaaaaaaaaay play the piano over and over and wondering how after nearly nine years of piano lessons (plus a four-year break of just dabbling on the piano, attempting to play Kelly Clarkson's "Beautiful Disaster"), I can only play the melody of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", a very small part of the end music from The Lion King on Broadway, and the NBC jingle. I really should be able to play more than that.

Also, Krasinkaaaaaaaaay is a Democrat! (REMEMBER WHEN I FOUND OUT HE WAS A PATRIOTS FAN? YEAH. THIS JUST MAKES HIM THAT MUCH MORE AWESOME. AND NOW IF WE EVER HAPPEN TO MEET, I HAVE THINGS WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT ARE NOT AT ALL FANGIRLISH.)

I've got time to kill, so I'm going to watch The Daily Show from last night and attempt to work on more of my [livejournal.com profile] picspammy project. I have class until 4 today (hi, 3 hour Speech class!) without any extended breaks, so it's going to be a really long day for me. But there is a new episode of House at the end of it, so that's good.

IT WAS ONLY A MERE THREE HOURS AGO THAT I COULD GO ON FACEBOOK AND USE IT AND SEE THE OLD LAYOUT (seriously, thank you to whatever random hacker set that up), EVEN THOUGH IT HAD ALREADY CHANGED OVER TO THE NEW ONE. NOW, THAT IS NOT THE CASE. APPARENTLY FACEBOOK FOUND OUT ABOUT IT AND CHANGED IT BACK. NOW THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF ANGRY COMMENTS ABOUT HOW FACEBOOK DOESN'T LISTEN TO IT'S USERS AND IF THEY DON'T CHANGE IT BACK SOON, THEY'LL LEAVE. AND I MIGHT FOLLOW SUIT.

Sorry for the all the CAPSLOCK, but this just really pisses me off. The old layout worked just fine (and looked really nice too), but this new layout is incredibly poorly designed and doesn't work well with what it was intended for: connecting people. "We listened to user feedback?" YEAH, RIGHT.

THIS IS MUCH, MUCH WORSE THAN WHEN YAHOO! TRIED TO BUY FACEBOOK FOR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND MARK ZUCKERBURG TOLD THEM NO BECAUSE HE IS AN IDIOT. I'm sure Yahoo! would've listened to user feedback because they're a smart, billion dollar company that knows what they're doing. FACEBOOK, OBVIOUSLY, DOES NOT.
pretty_cynical: (o; won't go home without you)
I'm at the library (the local one this time), because the home computer has crashed. AGAIN. Except this time it is not ALLMYFAULT. It is most likely Graham's; he told Dad he could go "frak himself" (I don't know if that translates correctly, but it's the polite way of putting it), so he's off the computer for 3 weeks. I'd say that Graham intentionally crashed the computer, but I'm not technologically knowledgeable enough to know if that's even possible. Our computer has been "at risk" for viruses for the past few months, and that sounds like a more plausible explanation. All I know is that Mommy's incredibly pissed because she needed the computer to print off some stuff and Dad doesn't want to even deal with the computer. So I can only hope that it gets fixed soon. *crosses fingers*

Monica is sitting next to me in the "teen zone" of the library; I definitely feel like I don't belong here. She's defriended me on Facebook (apparently because I "made fun of her"), AND has more friends than me. I'm here until about 9:30, so I'm missing all of House and most of Eureka. They're both being taped, so I'll watch them at some point tomorrow. And I now have Season 7 of The West Wing! Political dramedy, I have missed you! I'll start watching that on Thursday. (Relatedly, I was so bored today during my Government class that I read ahead in my textbook, and both The West Wing and The Daily Show are fully mentioned. Awesome? YES.)

I think I'm going to edit some more [livejournal.com profile] picspammy pictures instead of doing my Statistics homework. I really need to get that project done.
