i hate the new firefox

i'm not afraid to say it, either. i don't know why i downloaded this version, especially while it's still in beta, because it s-u-c-k-s. for those of you who actually know shit about computers and modifying programs to suit your needs, i'm sure you love it. for dopes like me who like to download, extract and run things that work right away, this program is frustrating. for one thing, i don't like tabs and they show up immediately. i'm still missing my scroll bars, which is also seriously irritating, and whenever i open my browser i get this annoying message asking me if i want to look for a compatible google bar or tool or something, which i don't get because i can see my google bar up there right now. what does it mean it's not installed? i know i can fix these things, but i don't want to. i just want it to work, dammit, like it did before. can i just re-download the older version? i'm going to go look into that now.

in other dork-tastic news, i found out one of my co-workers loves* buffy and angel more than i do, and has, in fact, both sets of series in his possession. he's been doling them out, in order, to me the last few weeks and now i get to watch vampire-slaying-goodness every night before bed. me and the cat and my headphones are very happy.

and as a last testament to my own nerdy self, i just ordered this shirt. it's the second one down, the green one. i love it. it's on pre-order right now, meaning you can only order it until this sunday. which i highly recommend you DO. let's get all the kids we know to order them and then wear them around our fundamentalist, evolution-hating friends and family. it'll be a riot!

*he might not actually love the shows more than me, but he's certainly more dedicated to them. i have to say, when i found out that we both loved everything joss whedon's ever touched, i was so happy. marnie was the only other person i knew before now who understood how great buffy and angel are, and i missed that. now everyone at work knows our dirty little secret, and they try to make fun of us for being dorks, but together we are invincible. or at least, not nearly as embarassed to say out loud that we love vampire slayers and their undead-soul-mates.
