Three things this morning. Brief 'n all that.
First) I bought the new Prodigy cd (Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned) when it came out a few weeks ago. It *might* be on my list of top 3 cd's from 2004. Cuz damn. I love it so much I need to blog about how much I love it. Like every Prodigy cd it's completely new and out there, and like every Prodigy CD it takes some getting used to. But now I can't stop. I am like the slinky that slinked itself out of control. I listen to it on the way to work. When I'm at work. On the way home from work. When I'm in the shower. When I'm eating dinner. Etc. Etc. Check out "Hot Ride", "Phoenix", "The Way It Is" (which samples THRILLER!!! - how dope is that?!), and "More Girls". Oh, and also "Wake Up Call" and "Spitfire" (which might be the best driving song EVER). Per normal, I'll share cuz I'm nice like that.
Second) He might have given me the best birthday present this year and it's not even my birthday yet. How dope is this?! Well, technically he just got a new Powerbook and Precious (that's her name) just came back from a hard drive crash. Brand spankin' new. She will be coming to stay at my house indefinitely starting tomorrow. I do believe that she and Shiva will be BFF.
Third) Sims 2. Where do I start with the Sims 2? Well, I purchased the Sims 2 after not being able to get in to the original Sims at all (I know, why would I do that?). However, it arrived in a pretty little package all for me on Friday evening and I promptly installed it and prepared for a weekend of playing god. Yeah, so.... I could play about 10 minutes of the game, and everytime my Sims fell in love my computer would crash. I have a similar problem in reality (har har). Needless to say, Margaret was NOT a happy camper.
After talking to complete dalts of tech support (eventhough I told them precisely what the problem was at the beginning of the call), they told me at the end of the call what my problem was (yup, I was right) and that they couldn't do anything for me. Wow, I'm shocked.
So this entry is for all the people out there googling about their Sims 2 game crashing during play. I knew I needed to update the drivers for my ATI Radeon 9000 graphic card, but because I own a Dell I couldn't just download the updates from ATI. I had to download them from Dell. And of course Dell's most recent updates are 20 months old (I KNOW, right?!). After much pouting and whining (just ask her), and two days of pulling out my hair - not to mention an hour long phone conversation with a Dell customer support dalt - I found a place to update my drivers: Omega Drivers. All hail the Omega Driver gods! The rock with a capital WOW up 'n in this bizatch.
This game is dope - check it out (yup, I used "dope" three times in this post).
And for desert today, the Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 demo is available. Wowsa-s! This is the best month for computer games EVERRRRRRRR!
Ok, back to my high class, sophisticated, adult life now.

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Mac Snobs!
And about time! Hurrah!
Welly, you're a Mac snob too? Wow. If I can ever afford a flight to London, I'll buy you a pint
It would be an absolute pleasure, Steve. I reckon Margaret will rapidly be won over to our side now she's about to get the appropriate incentive!
