well, I've sent away for my upgrade to X v. 10.1; we'll see if it shows up.
and then we'll have to see if it works.
any mac users out there have advice for me about OS X? Why have I not gotten it to run in friggin' "classic" mode?
hell, I'm just going to go back to 9.1.
Fonts, schmonts- what good are all those fonts if half my applications crash every 10 minutes? and 70 per cent of them won't work at all???
oh- except for the splendid and very very extravagant i-pod that I got from Santa. It requires X v. 10.1. which is why I'm pursuing the upgrade thing.
hee.

I'm catching a cold, or a flu, or something. It's making me incredibly crabby and spacy... everything's sort of slo-mo.

maybe I'm just a sap
but I highly recommend looking over the Year in Pictures on sfgate.com if you have a little extra time. Highlights include:
from March:
-Rudy Guiliani in tights and heels
-an underwater photo of a woman with her one year old daughter swimming in March in St. Petersburg, Russia
-the pet goose
from April:
-the rugby player with his shorts twisted around his knees (poor guy)
from May:
-Della Slade, 88, playing a mean kazoo for the Kozy Kookie Kitchen Krewe
-2000 naked people
from June:
-the golden retriever Chino, with his fishy friend Falstaff
-the protester in Barcelona who's licking the shield of a riot cop. sex-y.
from August:
-canine carts and sharks in the water
and lots of naked men and baby animals. what's that about?
the photo of the guy eating a frog is just too gross.
