My computer is allergic to Youtube
Alright so for a couple of hours now my computer has been freezing up on one website and one website only: Youtube. Unfortunately, that just so happens to be one of my biggest addictions! How will I live without my extensive favorites list? And my K-pop. Everyone knows my life isn't complete without watching people attempting to do the Wonder Girls 'Tell Me' dance until I'm blue in the face! (And secretly know the dance too!) The knock offs: Hulu, Crunchyroll, Daily Motion etc. aren't doing it for me and I'm starting to have withdrawal symptoms. Seriously! I've totally got the shakes (or maybe that was the shot of espresso I had just before close...)!
So, I've been reduced to watching actual TV and I've got to say it pretty much sucks. Except King of the Hill, of course. As a dweller of the sort of southwestern area I can attest that there are some people like that who live here. I had a prime example of such characters earlier today as I was at the register, checking people out.
At Borders we have to ask every customer if they have a Border's Rewards Card-it's free and there are no forms to fill out so why not, right?-Well I was doing as my job dictated and asked this shining gem of a customer if they would like a Rewards card when they said they didn't have one, and I received this gracious, unbelievably eloquent reply: "No, I ain't got no cable."
I kid you not!
What do CABLE and a REWARDS card have in common? Your guess is as good as mine but this is the type of thing I get on a fairly regular basis. Now, I won't say that ALL okies are like this. I mean, there are some of us out there who consider ourselves reasonably intelligent, and you know, able to recognize the difference between a customer savings card and a bundle of wires wrapped in a plastic protective coating that transmits information, but then occasionally you find the "I ain't got no cable" type too.
Note to self: Get the hell out of here as soon as humanly possible-aka after graduation on May 9th.

P.S. My independent study prof-the head of the English department here at TU-has deemed my manuscript "readable". This is a good thing right? He's reading the latest edit now. Crossing fingers...now!

help me out! I don't get the "I ain't got no cable" line??? or am I just too foreign for this?
ReplyDeleteWow....that is pretty bad! lol!
ReplyDeleteAnd woo hoo for the prof's comment. If he's a really stuffy, elite kind of professor, then I'd definitely take that as a compliment. However, if he's obsessed with the Twilight series like a 15 year old girl, then don't take it to heart. lol
Haha, I think we're all too foreign to get the cable thing.
ReplyDeleteAnd he's not too stuffy but he is dean of the English Department for a reason. He does read YA to his daughter though and said that my story was on par with many he's read. Which is a good thing because it is YA. lol, so a little of both? Minus the obsessed part.
hahaha! well that sounds great! Any chance I can get a copy to peek at? I'm very curious about your books.
