happy international iBook delivery day!

allegedly the iBook is going to be delivered today. we still don’t have a name. lots of wonderful suggestions, i cannot deny that. it also seems that y’all have a knack for picking names that belong to various pets of people i know. . . MacKenzie, Oscar, Oliver.

so i’ve come to the conclusion that the new platform deserves a revolution in the naming convention. i’m thinking of naming the iBook after some writer. i was thinking perhaps ray (raymond carver) or douglas (douglas coupland), but i’m still open to ideas.

Sometimes using a last name as the “first name” works…ala Johnson or Peabody, etc. personally I like..FRUNOBULAX that works for a MAC

I do like “Carver” as a possibility.

You should combine your love of the written word with your penchant for practicing and name it, “William Fuckner.”

But then, you could never share that name with anybody, I guess :(.

Things I Want to Tell You

Can't stop listening to "Who Were You Were Thinking Of" by Jeff Tweedy. Sing it with me, "who were you thinking of when we were making love last night? Was it a good-looking stranger or a close friend of mine. . ." [+]

You would think that if they were getting straight As they'd know the damn difference between loose and lose. GAH! [+]

Sadly, many of these t-shirts would probably fit me too. T-Shirts My Ex-Boyfriends Would Wear in a More Honest World. [+]

Yeah, I know there are problems with the comments timing out and giving an error message. I'm working on it. Never fear, the comment is still posting, it's just being really annoying in the process. I hope to have this fixed ASAP. I believe it's fixed. If there is still a problem, it's probably your fault and not mine. Kidding. Kinda. [+]
