“The Wire” All Prologue (2003) – Memorable quotes

Sergei ‘Serge’ Malatov: Family cannot be helped.
Proposition Joe Stewart: Who you tellin’? I got motherfuckin’ nephews and in-laws fucking all my shit up all the time and it ain’t like I can pop a cap in their ass and not hear about it Thanksgivin’ time. For real, I’m livin’ life with some burdensome niggers.

My pc is screwing up.  I hate purchasing certain things, most especially cars and computers.  This contributes to the fact that I typically have the most antiquated system in the household.  Though at present, DD’s is not only older, but doesn’t work.

The one I have now previously belonged to SS, but did not perform certain gaming functions.  So DH got him a new one – last year I think – and I inherited this one.  I have actually never purchased a computer.  Dozens of pdas, phones and other gadgets, and even approved the hardware to be appropriate for some corporate computers at one time, but not once my own pc.  At least not that I can remember.

I so hate the drama that is shopping for this netbook or laptop thing I need:

• How much ram is appropriate?
• How much disk space do I need?

Blah, blah, blah.

Of course I ask DH and he says the ones I like are too small with not enough memory.  This is okay.  But of course, DH plays games and is a man.  I mention that he’s a man, because he does not mind lugging a six pound object around with him.  I mind.  I am already minding a 34 pound child.  34 plus 6 is 40.  40 pounds is a lot.

Also, one does not require 4GB of disk space to write html, run a content management system (WordPress), Firefox, or Open Office.

Though… I won’t be able to upgrade it later.  I want the pdas to perform like computers/the computers to be the size of pdas.  That’s what I want.  I want to be small, really small.  I want it to fit in my purse, get wi-fi at the library, and still publish to my blog.

Ugh.

I feel the opposite about cars.  I want it to transport me reliably, and to be able to fit a tree in the back.

And now, a random stream of comments from your host.

I have spent so much time packing grandmas apartment this week that I feel hung over and haven’t had a drink.  That just isn’t right.  Don’t bother leaving me a note about dehydration.  I drink a lot of water.  I’m just tired.

Bribing preschoolers pays.  DD is sleeping in her own bed, without a pullup.  Own bed consistently for two weeks.  Pullup free for one.  It only cost me a set of princess sheets.  A small price to pay in my opinion.

My new entertainment obsession is The Wire, more on it later.

SS took my spam.  Actual spam, the meat product, yes, it is edible.
