    The nice part about being a pessimist is that you are constantly being either proven right or pleasantly surprised.

    Loosen the Reigns Microsoft

    Dear Microsoft,

    I love the xbox 360. I own 4. Ironically I do very little gaming, I just have one in each room to watch movies, stream music and now use Facebook and Last.fm. Can you please consider making it easier for me to use my XBL account on multiple machines? I don’t mind paying more (say 10 bucks per year per xbox sound agreeable), I just don’t want multiple accounts (forcing my friends to befriend me 4 times) or wait the 4 minutes to “recover” my account every time.

    Thanks,

    Lynn

    At Peace

    Being at peace is such a strange phenomenon. For many it would be sitting in a quiet, secluded place … for me it is speeding through the city listening to electronic music.


    Movember

    Someone needs to inform men, particularly white men, that growing strange facial hair does NOT make me want to support them to cure testicular cancer. Strange facial hair infact makes me think that they are weirdo child molesters and if anything makes me want to donate money to children who are molested.
