Sorry, bro, this keyboard's not backlit

Chag sameach to everybody it matters to! I don't actually know a damn thing about when Passover starts and ends without the lady to remind me, I am bad enough at my own holidays. Actually, if it weren't for the overlap with Easter Sunday I probably wouldn't know Easter Sunday was coming up either. You don't really have to ask if I kept Lent this year. Look, I've been told that a little transubstantiation on Sunday and it'll all be water under the bridge.

This post is really celebrating my new computer, dubbed Batputer -- I've owned it for a little while, didn't set it up until recently, didn't turn it on till just now. Hi, Batputer. Brand new and virgin clean, ready to accrue a new music collection and not get grubbied up with viruses. This is the first desktop computer I've owned since 2004, you've got to understand, so this is kind of exciting for me. Now I can choose not to waste my life on World of Warcraft instead of just not having the option. Woo.

Also, I gotta review the pilot of Game of Thrones at some point, but if I do it now I'll never sleep. And we got our pictures taken on the Iron Throne in 30th Street Station on Sunday, did I mention?

It's THE VENGEANCE but yup, all black. It all happened when we were unwrapping Batputer and I was like "wow, this is a hell of a manputer" and relia was all "yeah, it's kind of Batmantastic." But it is the computer Gotham deserves, but not the computer it needs right now. Because it's not our computer.

The sad thing is, all the candy would've normally been a cue about Easter, but our country starts selling holiday goods so far in advance that I never take it as an indication that the holiday's actually imminent. Also, every Easter season I try a Cadbury creme egg and I still hate it. It's kind of hyped on the internet, is the problem, and I'm impressionable. Like a seasonal Nutella.

I TOO HATE THOSE DAMN EGGS.

I thought I was the only only one.

Let's hug it out.

Like a seasonal Nutella.

DO YOU HATE NUTELLA TOO.

[prodigy]

NO ACTUALLY I LIKE NUTELLA, it is good on crepes. I'm pretty sure I once ate a whole jar of it when I was sick. It wasn't even my jar.

Damn. Someday! Someday, I will know someone with complimentary taste buds.

[prodigy]

My taste buds are like... I like salty, spicy, sour, and bitter a lot, but am not a huge fan of sweet, as I hated candy as a kid and kind of had to acquire the taste of dessert for social purposes, but never quite managed to like soda. I think chili pepper goes with anything; I drink a lot of coffee; my favorite juice is grapefruit. I hate breakfast food. I like yogurt, but only the plain, no-fruit-or-flavor-added kind. I like white meat over dark meat, salad over soup, rice in general is a comfort food and bread is boring. But I'm kind of a social/adventurous eater and will generally have anything other people are having or that I haven't had before, as long as it is not scallions or egg yolk.

I rarely find anyone with complementary taste buds. :(
