You may have already seen or heard of this, but I had to post something on this in case you haven't. Needless to say, this is pretty ridiculous. Perhaps one of the craziest things I've seen in quite a while and something that people found so unbelievable, they were calling "hoax" and "photoshop" before the police commented on the photos and said they were indeed unaltered and consistent with what happened. You can read the CNN article and get some better looks at the pictures, but I'll give you the short, basic rundown below.

Harry: I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

To put it simply, I'm starting to despise computers. It's been about a month since my computer first died and it still isn't up and running the way it should be, which leaves me still having to rely on the college computer lab for my computer needs. Granted, on one hand, I like not having a computer in my house, because it keeps me from blatantly wasting needless time on it, but on the other hand (the much larger of the two), I hate it, since I have to do all my school work, check my e-mails and websites and news and my book of faces from a school computer, in an uncomfortable, air-conditioned even in 45-degree weather computer lab.

As far as my computer goes, other than the screen, the case, and the CD/DVD-drives, it's pretty much a brand new computer. New motherboard, new processor (2.6 GHz of pure speed, baby!), new higher-end (at least for me on my meager budget) video card, new fancy-pantsy DDR2 RAM, new power supply, a reformated hard-drive. Of course, it cost me... but I'm fine with it, since it was about time my computer got an overhaul anyway, being three years since Beardsley and I first decided to put one together for me - and you know how fast technology goes out of date. On the cute side of things, Beardsley got all new stuff for a computer too and it's basically the same thing as mine. Matching computers. Awwwwww...

The problem here is that while I consider myself pretty computer saavy (or is it savy? The word doesn't seem to be in any dictionary...), when trying to get this all squared away and figured out, I realized I'm a lot dumber than I thought. In fact, on a lot of stuff, I'm more or less clueless until good ol' Jon Beardsley or Tom Hayden comes and saves the day. Everything seems to be compatible with nothing seems to be compatible with anything seems to be making my head explode trying to figure it all out... And now that I have all of the parts and they all seem to be fine, there are still a bunch of problems, something corrupt, deep down in the soul of my computer... I need call an exorcist or something. Or maybe just Beardsley... Specialist in Computer Exocism.

So yeah, my computer should be up and running fairly soon. Then maybe someday I can actually do something with JonathanBurdick.com. Like... umm... k...

In other news, this very blog here and YouTube are the only place in the world that contains the Director's Cut of One Lane Bridge. Yes... with the loss of the information on my computer, the Director's Cut is no longer in existence anywhere but through YouTube. So enjoy it before the internets explode.

And did I mention I moved into an apartment in Edinboro? Right behind Giant Eagle, with Matt Beardsley (brother of aforementioned Jon Beardsley). It's a nice lil' place and it's pretty cool when I only have to drive 3 minutes after class to get home... you know, rather than the 7 minutes it used to take. Sure, it really doesn't make much sense maybe and doing it goes against my better judgement which whispers that I should be mooching off the parents and saving as much money as I can while I can... buuuuuut I do gain the luxury of complete independence, something that, if you know me, you probably know I've always been particularly fond of.

Okay... gotta split, folks. Some creepy dude sat down next to me and I need to go cook myself up a Michelena's microwavable Alfredo. The Lean kind. In the words of Rick Darcangelo: Behave, be careful, be good.

Harry: I peed on the corpse. Can they do, like, an ID from that?
Perry: I'm sorry, you peed on...?
Harry: On the corpse. My question is...
Perry: No, my question. I get to go first. Why in pluperfect hell would you pee on the corpse?
