Well Bob, as a fix to the laptop problems, you could always buy a small USB Mouse to fix the touchpad problem.

I have a USB mouse that I can use, yeah. I just wish the touchpad was working. My desktop is better for websiting anyway, it's just the portability that's the issue. I like working on my site when I go places like school when I have longish breaks between classes, but hauling around a mouse with me would be a hassle.
My lappy is like, okay, but dying quickly. It has other issues too like a power cord that randomly decides it is and isn't plugged in depending on the slight angle changes...

Yeah I see. As for the portability thing, my bro just has a messenger bag that he keeps his laptop in, along with anything else he uses, including the mouse, it seems to work really well for school and etc.

So . . . how's the lappy now? Anyway, I'm still waiting for the next update, which didn't come out on Monday or Tuesday, as promised. But I'm not really angry. I'm still on too much of a high to be that mad. One of the best F3s ever was decided on Sunday night, and knowing that Team Conditional Love is not in it, and that both a parent/child team AND the show's first grandparent/grandchild team have made it there, makes it incredibly awesome!

Heh, you gotta look up the word "promise" someday, cuz when I say "I'll try" it doesn't mean "I totally promise OMFG".
Lappy is doing worse and worse everyday. Still works, but we'll see what happens. I'm just making sure to back up a lot of things.
Heh, I'm glad I saw the episode before coming here. I dunno. Tiny spoiler tags never really worked much for me. They're not specific enough, cuz I just read that thing until hitting words like "Team Conditional Love is not in it" and go "oh. It's about the Amazing Race. Well now I know, and knowing is half the battle."
But yeah, I'm glad they're gone. I like that they went out on her birthday, too. That = hornless. And they're pretty dang dumb. Taking the subway? Probably a good idea. Taking a BUS when they heard it was heavy traffic? Stupid. Should've gotten a cab. Holy shnikies they're dumb for that.

So, when will the next update be? I've gotten so bored lately, the last two days I actually reread all of BS so far, still funny too.

This weekend. For definitely. This one I'll count as a promise, but you have to promise to count Monday as this weekend. Good ol' MLK. I got even MORE computer locked today. Lappy is suckin', and a power outage of much confusion took my desktop out of commission until nighttime. Not sure what happened. The computer was OFF, but it still got all screwed up and wouldn't come back on.... *sigh* But anyway, it's been hell this week as far as homework, but all my classes ('cept Physics) are being nice to me this weekend (I think), so I should have PLENTY of time for some massive updating-ness....... Though Sunday is out. Anniversary with the girlfriend that day. But an update SHOULD happen before Sunday is even called into question. .... Also I might need to stop playing games at Kongregate ( www.kongregate.com/ )... Ah how fun it is to have free internet games that I can play anywhere that internet exists. Like in class. Must.... Stop.... And.... Accomplish something....

Sorry to have to feel obligated to say this, but you for definately need to shut the hell up, dude--it's Bob's freakin' site. He doesn't owe you a goddamned thing. For cryin' out loud.
And besides, did you not happen to notice that he said he'd still be working on it today? For someone who demands more material from him, you seem to not bother reading what he says...

I'm happy so long as there is an update in the first place, otherwise a few days makes no difference.

You're the one who needs to shut up, Wyvern! He hasn't even put up a damn thing and it's the last day of the three-day weekend! GAH!

Gah, I tried, but it's not coming out too well. I'm too tired to write a quality leg here, guys. Sorry, but it'll wait until I write it in the morning I think. I'm fairly close to done with the first part, but I don't want to let the quality suffer.
I only have one class tomorrow, which I've already determined I will skip. Trust me, I'll make it worth your while for my "extending the weekend" here. I could give you a thousand (well, not really, but probably greater than ten) reasons for why I haven't gotten to this update sooner, but I don't feel like whining. I'll sum it up into a phrase for you though: it's complicated. But never mind that. Update should come tomorrow when I get into the whole writing thing. I just don't think my continuing to work on this would be good. Like, at all. I have a lot to do tomorrow, but I'm still gonna try to get in the update before lunchtime (depending when I wake up.....).
I really shouldn't have started the next season when I did. Should've built up a stash before starting it. Lots of things hit me quickly and suddenly and I haven't really been in my 'happy place' (or is it 'Bob place'? stupid Happy Gilmore having a first name that makes modifying quotes difficult) for a while.
It shouldn't be horribly long before the next update, so everybody just take a few steps back from Dale for a bit. Remember: he's not a frappucino and yes, rabies is contagious. Seriously, Dale, I'm 90% sure I would be done with this episode if you hadn't made your premature bitching comment. Calm down. Comments like yours only make me work less hard. Honest. Just mellow like the rest of the crew here and take a lesson from NobodySpecial. Just be happy when an update comes.
.......Here's an example of why I have to stop writing now: It took me a good ten seconds to think of how to spell "lesson". I was like "lessen? yeah- no, wait, no. Lesson? Yes? No? That can't be it. Less ON? Wait, that IS it, isn't it? Stupid english!" If I can't spell lesson, then I think I'll do the editing tomorrow after some sleep (it's pretty much at the editing stage...).
And yeah, at least we had the finale of the real race not more than 48 hours ago...
