It's just a profit boost - they (the stores, etc) know the people who will want that extra stuff are willing to pay the extra money, so they will mark it up as high as they can.

ditto.

I forgot about this classic

to quote MrRain422 - "if he were alive, he would blame his death on homosexuals." or feminists.

yeah, that just about sums it up

it's a mistake - they meant to make it 2.5

well, you forget - it will take us an hour to get there

Graham mentioned the baby issue in passing last night - I am not sure I want to go through this puberty, teenage thing AGAIN

I forgot - Graham has class tonight until 10

for Mother's Day Graham gave me a lovely pot of roses (that can be re-planted!) and his cousin gave me some chocolates. So nice!! My daughter proceeded to eat half of the box of chocolates this morning before I got up. There's some Mother's Day gratitude for ya! Yay, 13 year olds.

Is Evonne coming?? I wasn't planning on going - but if she is here, how can I NOT??

I just bought mine at the apple store - but then again, I didn't need any additional stuff. It doesn't seem like you save much money online - though macmall sometimes has good rebates.

that is hilarious. I think that's how David Cross described Creed - well, something like that

I recently bought a macbook, since I am returning to grad school. I don't remember exactly what the specs are but it was the cheapest one. I run Office 2004 on it, and it works just fine. No complaints. It is indeed very nice and very fast.

Mother's Day Proclamation - Julia Ward Howe Arise then...women of this day! Arise, all women who have hearts! Whether your baptism be of water or of tears! Say firmly: "We will not have questions answered by irrelevant agencies, Our husbands will not come to us, reeking with carnage, For caresses and applause. Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn All that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience. We, the women of one country, Will be too tender of those of another country To allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs." From the bosom of a devastated Earth

omg - that Ethiopian looks TOO GOOD.

look who showed up, dressed in their finery, to wish you a Happy Birthday!! I love you like crazy!!

is that real?? Her head looks terribly out of proportion.

Doesn't Magical Mystery Tour count? And, wouldn't Let It Be come before Abbey Road, since it was recorded first? I always consider Abbey Road to be their last album. Maybe I am just assbackwards.

gotta do it

if you count the albums that were collections of singles (which I do) s/t Hatful of Hollow (UK) Meat Is Murder The Queen Is Dead Louder Than Bombs (US) / The World Won't Listen (UK) ---and some would argue that you could take off the s/t album and tack Strangeways on the end and that would be a better list of five.

well, that's not entirely true.
