What boycott?

I refuse to engage in this silliness of the 'boycott' over how LJ handles new non-paying customers, so posting I am. I haven't upped my account to plus because I don't really care about the extra functionality, but if the folks at LJ don't want to give new free accounts my minimal level of access, that's their decision. It's their site, their bandwidth, servers, and bills.

So, Apple Software Update asked me if I wanted to install something this morning, and I assumed it was a Quicktime or iTunes update because I wasn't paying much attention. Turns out, it was Safari. Um, Steve, why? What's the point of porting Safari to Windows? Seriously?

In honor of Good Friday...

I got a visit today from the Mormons!

They asked me if I had read the good book. I responded that I had. They then asked what I thought of it. I told them that I thought it sucked.

I was REALLY hoping they'd ask me why, but no, they just kept smiling and asked if I knew anyone who might be more receptive. I told them to try the neighbors...the only neighbors who aren't atheist, Buddhist, Hindu, or Islamic weren't home. I'm sure they had a wonderful time on our little cul de sac.

I really wanted to complain to them about the plot holes, outright contradictions, spotty writing (obviously done by committee), retcons, and editorial additions done ham handedly in a different style, obviously without authorial consent or input. At the start, it has six different beginnings. The ending is horrible too. It can't decide if it wants to be a tragic, a comedic, or a happy one. And god, the main character. So two dimensional. He's either a toddler, or a caricature. And the supporting characters? Please. The whole thing needs to be scrapped and rewritten. There's some nice poetry in there, between the excessive sex and violence. But it's not enough to save the story.

I could go on, but I won't.
