        I can browse the forums with just a little bit of lag. Youtube doesnt play video smoothly though. Audio through youtube plays fine, but video plays at about 5 frames per second. Oddly enough my 1994 apple adjustable keyboard with adb to usb adapter doesnt work with this, but works on my windows computer fine. Next step is to install linux on this thing.

        I'm hoping to catch it in Chicago this week. We've got a great place called the Music Box Theatre that specializes in exactly these kinds of showings. I've actually never seen a film in 70mm, so I'm psyched.

        So freshman 15 with six-pack? Or did you focus on dieting? Either way good job. Losing weight is harder than gaining it.

        Because if you have a doctorate and a large penis you whip them out whenever possible. It’s just that you only see it in their audio convos. You should see them on a trip to the grocery store.
