If it's Humpday, there's gotta be a Hump, huh.

Remember that power supply seller who was practically begging me to give him a 5 rating on Amazon despite sending me a different part than my order called for?

I don't think so, Charlie:P

That charger has ceased charging twice since I said goodnight, causing the puter to just go dark, forcing a reboot and, the second time, scaring me the living shite. I'm back on the old one now, having backed up All The Crucial Things through yesterday and making sure the problem is not on the laptop end (92 percent and holding, baybee!). But Boo is gonna be smacking a bitch come later this morning.

It is possible that I will visit three of my favorite, friend-filled places, two of them for the very first time, in the coming month and a half: Asheville, NC; the Pacific Northwest, and my native Greater Noo Yawk Area.  Is there one within this nation's borders that will remain?

Answer: Austin.  Particularly, the Alamo Drafthouse.  I SO wish they would license this video to every movie theater in the world, to use in place of those smarmy, enabler-written PUT DOWN YOUR FABULOUS AT&T MOBILE FOR AN HOUR OR TWO PLZ messages they're showing now:

Watch on YouTube

It's gotten at least one Youtube comment about not "judging her," but I'm so past that, and on to the jurying and the executing;)

The Alamo Drafthouse is terrific. Also terrific is Enoteca restaurant in Asheville.

Man, that's ridiculous re) the power supply...

Let's see. Seller sent the wrong part, which turned out to be a piece-of-crap wrong part, and wants a five-star rating?

Whatever you were going to rate the seller, I'd say knock off an extra star for the chutzpah.

I saw that video on the Consumerist, where there was at least one comment saying that it was "impractical" to expect people to be "out of touch" for two whole hours, unless they were on a plane. Unless these people are doctors, I cannot imagine what is so damned important that they can't just WATCH THE MOVIE.

(And, man, do I dread the day when the plane prohibition is lifted. Like flying isn't obnoxious enough already.)

Also, I am shocked, SHOCKED, that the replacement product you were sent by that five-star seller was not of the highest quality.

I'm just glad I didn't wind up getting shocked in the more direct (heh) sense of the word.

The disgruntled movie-goer needs a total cerebectomy. Failing that, one might consider bringing along a Personal Cell Phone Signal Blocker Device (see http://f00.in/7q) -- very discrete and handy in venues where cell phone use is an annoyance.
