Pour the sugar, count:
One two three four - the perfect
coffee cup sweetness.
Alas! Malfunction!
Sugar chunks prevent pouring -
my count is thrown off.
The end result? My over-compensation lead to overly-sweetened coffee. Le sigh.

On Delta customer service
Missed my flight today.
Overzealous gate agent
closed the door early.
“The plane is right there!”,
I said while pointing at it,
still parked at the gate.
“I’m not even late!
It’s ten minutes till take-off!”,
I argued my case.
But he wouldn’t budge.
Refused to let me on board.
Now I’m on stand-by.
Granted, I was cutting it a bit close. But I got to the gate ten minutes before departure and the friggin' door was already closed! Not because the flight was leaving early. Nope. It sat there, parked at the jetway while I argued with the gate agent for ten minutes, then took off without me.

On the new Prince of Persia game
Prince of Persia - Yay!
I've been waiting for years to
play the new sequel.
But wait - what's this crap?!?
Everything looks cartoony.
And bad voice acting.
Where are the bad guys?
The whole game is deserted.
Just one boss per world.
One or two puzzles
here and there, but not like in
the previous games.
Collecting "light seeds"
feels like Mario Galaxy.
Star bits, anyone?
There's still wall running,
but crawling on the ceiling?!?
That might be a stretch.
The male lead is not
even a prince! The writers
missed the game's title.
I could go on and on like this, but I won't. Basically, the new Prince of Persia game is a complete departure from the franchise. The story line is garbage, all the best gameplay elements (fighting, puzzle solving) have been removed, and the new art style makes it look like a Japanese RPG or superhero game. Very disappointed. :(

New Google Reader:
If I click the bottom of
Long item? Don't Move!
I click and highlight while I read online. The new Google Reader formatting has a "quirk" where if an article is longer than a page, and I click on it, it'll jump to the top of the damn article. So I scroll to where I was reading, click to mentally mark my spot (I guess? I don't really know why I do this) and it jumps to the top again!
Murder!

On picking up where we left off...
Sorry for the wait.
My PC has been broken
for almost two weeks.
The drivers are fucked.
Windows Update is a joke.
Just want to shoot it.
At this point I'd say
Macs are looking pretty good.
At least in my view.
No driver problems.
No viruses to speak of.
And oh so pretty.

On 4-verse soap-boxes
Some definition
of "stuff works" - they'll never be
hardcore dev boxes!
Nevermind little
niggling things like software:
complete lack thereof.
And one button mice?
Not "revolutionary
UI," just a pain.
I can rant all day -
at least dual boot XP
for some appeasement.

Oh no you didn't!
Macs are for people
who want their stuff to just work
and look good as well.
PCs are fine if
you like pulling your hair out
each time you use it.
