My computer is such a dinosaur that the only way I can utilize YouTube now is to grab the embed code from the webpage and post videos to LJ.




This is clearly a sign that I need to give up the ghost and buy a new laptop. The thing is, I love my current titanium PowerBook G4: it's so perfect-looking and gorgeous, and I don't like the new Mac styling at all. But I think when your OS is so old that you can no longer upgrade Firefox and Norton Antivirus, and video playback is always going to be choppy and horrific no matter what changes you make, it doesn't make sense to put it off any longer.

Ahaha, it's kind of awesome. I look forward to seeing it on Sundance, since my computer plays back video at a rate of approximately .5 frames per second, but even with all the technical difficulty this is still a glorious thing.

For a skater, his feet aren't very beat up. I'm glad he's so fastidious about pedicures and such. When I was still dancing I was pretty immune to damaged feet but now it makes me cringe a little.

Aww, excellent work! I didn't think you'd be able to resist forever, what with all the fanfic you've been reading and such.

Oh Johnny, indeed.

Woman, it was time months and months ago. Even if you don't like how it looks on the outside, think about the inside! Shallow! Though, you wouldn't be you if you weren't. ;)

I kid! I was the same way about Nissan Maximas years ago-- until I drove one. Then, it was suddenly one of the hottest things on the road.

If you don't want to go brand-new, can you get an older, still acceptably able model or has just too much time passed for that?

I know, it's just that I'm just attempting to save money, and buying a new computer is pretty much the opposite of that. But this machine is really just...beyond. We will see.

I dig. You've held out much longer than I could have, I'm sure. Responsibility! Sucks. ;)

I feel like every time you post something about Johnny, all I can say is, "Oh, Johnny."

I enjoy his lack of censoring himself.

So true! It's one of his more endearing qualities.
