Jun. 26th, 2008 00:25Okay, I´m in another country, like it matters. Because there is something wrong with me, I had to check southparkstudios.com to see if anything happened in the past day. (You know, like you do. ... Shut up.)
Anyway, at home I use Firefox, but this free internet is Internet Explorer. So, I go to the website, and it apparently actually admonishes you if it doesn´t like your browser. In the top right box where it usually says something like "Watch all 150-ish episodes now!" with a picture, it´s got a picture of one of the boys insulting IE6. Cartman says, "Only Jews use IE6" or "IE6 ... seriously?" Stan says, "IE6? Dude, weak." Kyle says, "IE6 ... You Bastard!" And that´s like how frequently I´m getting them when I refresh.
If there are any others, I haven´t seen them. Obviously it was too much trouble to include poor Kenny. But at least they didn´t make one with Butters.
I´m sorry, this is probably not news. But I´m really sunburned. (And I accidentally drank too much Cava at dinner.) It just made me absurdly happy.

Date: 2008-06-29 17:02 (UTC)I'm alright unless I'm up north (Australian) then I burn if I stay outside for a while... I turn mostly nocturnal up there. This year I did such a great job of staying not-burnt, then came back down home and got burnt the first weekend. Go figure.
I checked the other day and my old computer does actually have IE6. I was shocked. However I was unable to check if it was anti-IE6 or anti-Spanish because the internet wasn't working. My old computer has issues.
And I'm fantastic today. How are you? And how was Spain?

Date: 2008-06-29 17:06 (UTC)Yeah, I don't know what it was -- the browser or the country or what. I just kind of got way too happy to see them rip on IE, even thought I am technically an MS fangirl.
You're from Australia? I think you're in good company. Seems like a lot of people hanging around the SP fandom are. I have to admit, I've never been. How is it? What a vague question. Interpret freely.

Date: 2008-06-29 17:15 (UTC)Australia is extremely cold. Well, in Victoria it is. I absolutely hate the cold. I attempt to hibernate every winter but my plans are always foiled. Up north is nice. Green, rainforesty and pretty. Where I live there are just cows everywhere. I'm surrounded by dairy farmers. I'm getting out as soon as I can.
It's not too bad here though, except the late movie releases are killing me. Downloading is tedious. What happened to worldwide releases? Why are we last? WHY?! Just because we're all a bunch of bread-stealing convicts!

Date: 2008-07-01 14:47 (UTC)It's just about always cold where I live. Except in summer, it gets to around 40-45 degrees celcius occasionally, but we're always up north when it does.
Cold is no more than 17 degrees C for the last three months. I hate it.
Yeah cows smell, only when you get close to them though. We're pretty much used to it now. Thankfully we don't own any ourselves.

Whereas 17 degrees C would be like in the 50s. Where you live must be somewhat tropical for that to seem (relatively) cold.

Date: 2008-07-02 16:26 (UTC)Wow. That is cold. But that's snowy weather. I'm not sure what the temperature's been over the last few days... Not that I've been sitting inside next to the heater all day or anything... but i think it was 12 today, which was warmish. Here it gets to 2 degrees and doesn't even come close to snowing. I can't stand the cold, yet if it snows, I'm at peace with the world. I love the snow.
Because we go away up north each year, I generally spend the whole year dressed in the warmest clothes I can find and have my heater up all the time, so when we go away I don't die of heatstroke. 35'C every day with humidity thrown in can kill you. I shiver at 30'C while wearing a jacket. I think it all has something to do with my anemia...

Date: 2008-07-02 22:08 (UTC)Oh, it doesn't always snow. Sometimes it never stops. Thank you, climate change. No, 2 degrees C is pretty cold, although I would managed. I'm not too sensitive to weather -- although humidity kills me.

Date: 2008-07-03 07:42 (UTC)I love the humidity. I'm fairly sure being low on iron is the main reason I have issues with the cold, but whatever. I miss being able to go out in a tshirt and jeans.

I just have issues with meat so I avoid it.. Doesn't help.
