I just got the new AIM Triton. It’s got a different graphical interface from the AOL Instant Messenger we’re used to, but I got used to it rather quickly. There are three noticeable advantages of the Triton:

1. All your IMs are handled in one window. When you are talking to more than one person at a time, a tab opens up on the left side to keep track of who you are talking to. Triton has an option to save your conversation even if you close or disconnect, so as soon as you IM the person again you can see a short log of what you said before.
2. An IM catcher handles all unknown users. So if a random buddy wants to add you, you can screen their message line to see if you want to talk to them or not. Otherwise, you can put spam IM from hotchixxx3788 on ignore.
3. XM Radio with 150 stations. They have a few classical stations, oldies, an anime radio station, and there’s even a video game station. I'm listening to the ending song from Tales of Symphonia right now.

I’d at least take a look see if you use AIM. It works on both Windows and Macs, and there’s even a vision for Linux peoples.

Thanksgiving meal included turkey, homemade mashed potatoes, gravy, corn on the cob, and chocolate cake with ice cream. I’m still full…

Supposedly, small turkeys aren’t as good as large ones.

Crumpler scored more points than Dunn and Anderson, the RBs for the team I'm up against this week. I’m so confident that I sent a message to our league board pronouncing the other guy had already lost. And I won’t eat crow this time either.

Random Jameson just compared World of Warcraft to blogging. Writing is like gaining experience. Seeking to be linked in other journals is a quest. Getting mentioned on a news station is slaying a dragon.

He just wants me to get sucked into the MMORPG world. I never started Everquest, and I won't start WoW now no matter how newbie friendly it is.

What brand of orange juice do you drink? I'm a big fan of Tropicana's Calcium enriched OJ.

Hmmmm ....... I'm one of those weird ones that don't drink orange juice at all.
I love orange-flavored stuff, but NO orange juice.

Okay, I understand not liking Sunny D or something, but no OJ at all? That's just weird.

[cindmouse.livejournal.com]

Nope, none at all.

Now here's the weird part:
When I was a kid, I couldn't stand the little tiny pieces of pulp swishing around in my mouth or the thought of them going down my throat. Hence, no more orange juice for me. And I've always called those little pulp thingy's "skinnies"!
Yes, I know .... I'm a strange one, very strange.

I hate pulp, too. That's why I drink pulp free OJ. You should try it some time. :)

[cindmouse.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've thought about that.
Just one of those things that you think about but just never seem to actually get around to doing.

Someday .......

I LOVE Sunny D. But only tangy Florida style. California style sucks and this is coming from someone who lives in Cali.

Agreed on the California style. My mom bought way too much of that stuff before I was like "Mom, I'm only drinking this because you're buying it. Could we get something else, please?"
