• 21:03 having gone through the wireless setup process on XP today, I laff at peeps who complain about Vista's useability #
• 21:04 sure, the /first/ version of the thing was reindeer turd, but the first version of most stuff is #
• 21:07 also, why for the love of small potatoes does Acrobat Reader 9 weigh in at 41MB? #
• 21:08 also-also, I was with you up until 1280x800, but optimizing the screen to display at 1900x1200 is just RETARDED #
• 21:10 even I had to crank it up and suffer the watercolour-bleed effect, do they expect people over 45 to not use laptops or something #
• 00:02 Zoobizarre's flyer has Asobi Seksu (rescheduled) on the same bill as Yann Tiersen and Coeur de Pirate but no other confirmation; puzzled... #

At 45 people are dead, as any right-thinking techie knows. But the presbyopic can always stick their noses into the laptop's screen. Is the thinking, I believe. 1900x1200? And I was complaining about this thing being 1440x900.

...how big is the screen? D:

Not that big. :/

I'm impressed by Anna Tsuchiya's singing: like Gwen's but deeper and less "quirky." Does she always use a rock band? Has she ever worked with dance and r&b weirdos?

Wiki: "Tsuchiya's fame has not been without controversy. In an interview on NHK in 2007 she stated that her deep sultry voice was the result of 'boozing and smoking from an early age,' and she is also known for speaking in 'improper ways' (i.e., using impolite language). Despite this, her mother, who is also her manager, insists that Tsuchiya did not drink while under age. Her fans remain indifferent."

Ah, here's an answer: "Crazy World," sorta a retro-swing-r&b synth-dance amalgam. (I like her instincts as a singer, if not necessarily the arrangements and songs.)

Anna Tsuchiya is known (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gni-_xigi10) for (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztboRfC9BnE) rock (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2vhxuPHKRA) - that is, she's a pop idol who makes rock music, an unusual positioning until recently. Her latest album branches out, though; it's kind of unexpectedly great. XD I like the thrash take on "Blue Monday" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTBQ9F-rpX4), and the goth-piano epic rearrangement of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1p2TAt6n-Cg).

Anna is half-Russian-American and from certain camera angles can remind one of Yulia Volkova... not as crazy obv but by J-pop standards her level of je-m'en-foutisme is high. XD; Like Yulia she's a working mom. She write her own lyrics in English (rather badly). She also plays the biker chick in this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5iRzB4fCQE) (it's a kind of youth subculture odd-couple comedy).
