I Know I Said I Wasn’t Going to Do It…

…but it was a slow day at work and I had a full backup from the night before, so I figured what the hell? I could always restore from the clone when I got home if it hosed everything.

And I know that every year I say I’m not going to upgrade and yet—without fail—after months of trash-talking the betas, I do it on the very first day the new OS is officially available.

Well, after using it for the past several hours and checking most everything out, I have to say I’m more than pleasantly surprised. I don’t know how many overnighters the Mac team at Apple had to pull since I was cursing out even the most recent beta only a few days ago but it would appear that everything that I experienced as broken only last week is now fixed.

While most of what Apple did was behind the scenes, there are lot of subtle graphic improvements, tweaks that make doing things easier, and a general speed increase that is noticeable. I also appreciate that the ever-bloated iTunes has been split into three separate programs. My biggest worry in upgrading was that I’d lose all the carefully curated album art I’d assigned (an issue brought up in the forums in regards to the betas). Admittedly, it took a couple hours for it to repopulate, but all the custom artwork is present and accounted for. Another minor inconvenience was that initially the “Recently Added” group only showed albums I’d added within the past twenty four hours.* A full accounting of what’s changed is beyond the scope of this blog, but there are several excellent reviews available online in case you’re interested in knowing more. I had been preemptively warning friends not to upgrade, but I may have to reassess that in the coming days.

*Letting it sit overnight repopulated everything in the proper chronological order.

Because fuck

I didn’t care that he had a little daughter. I didn’t care that he had another one on the way. I didn’t care if he sometimes treated his dogs better than he treated me. Hell, I didn’t care if he had a wife. I liked his wife. She was nicer than most of my buddy’s old ladies. You could tell she doted on him. And, he was good to her, too. Solid, they were. Real solid.

I didn’t care about any of that, because every Friday night we’d head down to the local tavern after work, have a few beers, shoot the shit, maybe play a game of pool or two. And no matter what, eventually he’d wink at me, and say, “Let’s get the hell out of here.”

And we would. Me following his pick-up truck to a place out on the edge of the town, just this side of the State Park. And, then he’d fuck me – always in the back of his truck. Sometimes it was quick and dirty. Sometimes we didn’t get our clothes off, we were so hot for each other. Sometimes, when I was real lucky, he’d go at it again, really driving into me, all that muscle bearing down, riding it like there was no tomorrow.

Fuck, it was hot.

And Who Among Us Wouldn’t?


Rami Malek, the villain in the new Bond film, on his “moment” with Daniel Craig on set:

“We had this scene that was a very complicated scene and we were rehearsing for it with our terrific director, Cary Fukunaga. And, we were sitting at a table over hours just batting about ideas back and forth. And we finally cracked this really challenging scene. And he grabbed me, picked me up—and I can’t tell if I initiated the next moment, if it was him or I—but, a kiss transpired between the two of us. And I’m gonna say that Daniel initiated it and I was very taken aback … I took a moment, caught my breath, and I looked out and said, ‘So, does this make me a Bond Girl?’”

I.Would.Have.Died.

Seriously; Daniel Craig kisses me? I would die.
