2 weeks before finals. I just downloaded KOTOR.
[DOUBLEPOST=1385159679,1385159512][/DOUBLEPOST]And add another mistake. I paid $10 on the Apple store, and immediately remembered that I have a $10 Amazon gift card I haven't used.
Or maybe I subconsciously didn't want to wait until monday to get it.

Finally upgraded to iOS7, and have spent the past half hour looking for ways to conserve battery life. I feel like the electro-hemorrhaging is finally under control.
Pros: My most important apps still work fine.
I can finally see gifs at their true speed.
Cons: It's really, really flat. Almost dull.
That power drain thing.

I turned off location services, automatic app updating, background app refreshing, notifications, airdrop, and a couple other things I don't use. I also rejiggered the brightness, because, damn, it glowed right through the cover. Now I think it's performing closer to iOS 6 in terms of power consumption. Things do seem to run smoother than 6, so I guess it's more pro than con right now.

The ability to now choke individual apps off the 'Net is probably iOS7's second most hallelujah-worthy feature (activation lock being the first).

Ugh, I am so sick of the Kennedy bullshit. Enough already. Now people who weren't even alive when he died are putting this stupid shit on their FB page:
This is up there with people my age who act like Cobain's suicide profoundly influenced their lives. You were 4. You were chasing your cat, while your mother shrieked, "DON'T GRAB HIS TAAAAIL!" and your dad furiously tried to get the GD home video recorder to work.Ugh, I am so sick of the Kennedy bullshit. Enough already. Now people who weren't even alive when he died are putting this stupid shit on their FB page:
"Remember Kennedy" isn't the message they're really sending, anyway, "I'm poignant, and sombre, and patriotic, etc." is.

It is snowing at my office. It's 40 degrees out, but dammit it is still snowing. It's even too hot for the snow to stick to the cars.

All this sandwich talk has me thinkin' bout cheese. Anyone else hate melted American cheese? Plain american on a sandwich I can handle, but melt it and it tastes freakin' BLEH! Awful consistency.

If you ask me, the official "American" cheese is no longer processed oil squares from Kraft, that mantle has pretty much passed to Pepper Jack. We put it on freakin' everything now.

I love the coffee lid dispensers they have at Holiday gas stations. I no longer have to worry about someone coming in before me with filthy hands accidentally getting two lids, smearing all their filth around on the inside of a lid trying to get them apart, and then putting it back in for the next person.
