My wireless keyboard is starting to act up. I am looking into buying a new one, but I quite like my current non-wireless mouse.
Is there any possible way to buy a wireless keyboard independent of a "Wireless Desktop" mouse/keyboard combo?
Are there any keyboards in particular that don't suck?

The largest recorded nested bird roast is 17 birds, attributed to a royal feast in France in the 19th Century: a bustergophechideckneaealckidgeverwingailusharkolanine - bustard stuffed with a turkey, a goose, a pheasant, a chicken, a duck, a guinea fowl, a teal, a woodcock, a partridge, a plover, a lapwing, a quail, a thrush, a lark, an ortolan and a passerine. Since passerine is a generic term, it is not known exactly what kind of bird was used as the smallest in the actual roast, although a pied flycatcher has been suggested. The recipe notes that the final bird is small enough that it can be stuffed with a single olive; it also suggests that, unlike modern multi-bird roasts, there was no stuffing or other packing placed in between the birds.

12:06 am - okay

So the story about that "Hunter and the Man" post (http://shuck-that-jive.livejournal.com/38183.html if you care) was that I had to sign a non-disclosure agreement for my job. "The Man" was a guy who works at the General Services Administration and those were his exact words as he prepared the document for me to sign. He also said "This is the little candygram we use to grab you by the testicles" if I let any sensitive information slip.
What was this non-disclosure agreement about, you ask? Well I wouldn't be a very good non-discloser if I told you, now would I? (Seriously, I could go to jail.)

I bet he doesn't have one of these.
Although frankly I like http://store.valvesoftware.com/productpages/prints/product_HL2EP2Poster.html more.

7:01 pm - hunter vs. second life
|
Okay, so I keep hearing all this stuff about Second Life, a video game where you basically make a 3D avatar of yourself and run around changing sex whenever you feel like it and spending real money on virtual sneakers. The media is pretty stoked about this because it has become a "thriving virtual economy" where people can make money in real life (IRL, as the locals say) simply by exchanging Linden Dollars for goods and services. Second Life fans are equally stoked that they have a vibrant virtual canvas with which to express themselves in practically limitless ways. More rational people are a little disturbed that 92% of that economy has been demonstrated to consist of illegal gambling and tips for virtual strippers/hookers, and that many, many people choose to express themselves by building bondage playgrounds, furry mansions, and havens for pedophiles.
So I decided it was time for me to form an Informed Opinion on Second Life by making myself an account. My name is Dock Tracy, a morbidly obese furry (or average-proportioned woman, I tend to switch back and forth) who has managed to walk forward a few feet and then crash my computer three times.
More on this as it develops!

3:40 pm - Brad Pitt's not gay
|
But don't let that stop him from letting it stop him from getting married. Did that make any sense? Basically Brad's refusing to marry Angelina Jolie until gay marriage is legalized.
Did you know that? That's a little weird. He's using his relationship as a protest.
Yeah, that's a little weird.
That's all. As you were.

People who get tagged need to post in their journal 6 odd or weird habits/things/facts about you, as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names.
1. The three books I was most adamant about bringing to college were my pocket Constitution, the Communist Manifesto, and Matt Groening's Big Book of Hell.
2. When I am working out something that confuses me or that I want to really understand, I'll start pacing around the room and talking to myself. This isn't so much a problem at home, but my roommate here at college has already walked in on in mid-stride, gesturing animatedly.
3. I have no concept of key when it comes to singing.
4. I hate Owen Wilson for no reason, I don't like Will Farrell for obvious reasons, I think Ben Stiller is pretty okay and I love Vince Vaughn.
5. I have a weird insecurity when it comes to names - even if I know someone's name, for a few weeks I won't say it unless I hear someone else say it first, just so I'm positive I know who I'm talking about.
6. I never do LiveJournal memes like this.
People to do it:
I would never inflict this on someone else EXCEPT FOR YOU, YOU HAVE TO DO THIS, I HATE YOU
