How do I make starcraft work on a mac?
Install it and run it.


I'm not sure if you have a Macbook or not but...

If you have one of the more recent Macbook Pro revisions, then Starcraft won't work on it. This is a well-known problem for which I've been in touch with the Blizzard Mac support for a while. But AFAIK it's only a problem for Macbook Pros, and as I said only for the most recent ones.

Ah, good point, my friend said that Starcraft won't work (in fullscreen) because his Macbook won't go to the proper colours in the newest updates.

His workaround was to run it in VMWare Fusion. :)

Finding less motivation to get a MB Pro every day. First, problems with the screen, now, this...  :(!

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Best Fourth of July Ever.

I went up to Albuquerque on Friday.  Left my city about 11, got to ABQ around 230.  I was going up for a friend & her room mate's bday party which was on Saturday night.  My friend, Stacey, said that if I wasn't going anything I should go up a day early and watch the fireworks with her on the 4th.  I had taken her out when she was last down here and we've been talking since then.

Once I arrived we went out to miniature golf (her room mate was down in my city, she's from here, til Saturday so just Stacey & me).  We get back to her place and watch "Evita."  Then we head out to dinner at an italian place and then to ABQ's balloon fiesta fields to watch the fireworks and see BLOOD SWEAT & TEARS!!!!  (No one really knows their music, WTF?!  Stacey didnt really know who they were at all).
Then we watched Hairspray at her house from about 11-whatever.  Then we just sat and chatted until 5 (freakin a thats late for me.)  Woke up around 10, hung out (man did she look beautiful all weekend) and her room mate and her boyfriend arrived around 4.  We ordered pizza and ate.  The dance party was that night.  Stacey, myself, the room mate & bf all started to fall asleep around 945.  People arrived for the party at 1015.  They all played Kings (found out some things about friends that disturbed me, but yeah, yay "Never Have I Ever") for a little then the dancing began.
Danced for about 45 minutes then sat outside.  Everyone left around 1230.  Stacey and I sat on her couch just chatting and being disgustingly cute.  I really like this girl.

As we're kissing I hear something that is curious.  We both realize her room mate is having sex.  Eh well.  Stacey heads to bed around 330.

I really enjoy this girl's company.  I know it sounds cliche, but she was finishing my sentences and answering my questions before I even got half way through.  Hanging out with her was amazing.  It's disappointing that she's 230 miles away and that next spring she'll be in Italy and I'll be doing God knows what (hopefully law school at Baylor, but who knows as it's possible I end up in ABQ for law school).


I haven't been this content and happy in quite a while.  :D

I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

its you who fail sir
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

I was the only person there who did not drink.  The last time that happened was probably about three years ago.

I liked the sheep one -.-

Yeah, but it needed an update.  It'll make its way back. :)

I'd prefer something a little more... 619ish in nature.

The San Diego Zoo 619ish enough for you? :P (temporary one, again)

Got my ACT / AP test exam scores sent to Davis via rush mail, so that way, if they don't get there, I can say "hey, look, I did it rush mail, leave me alone!"

And my transcript still hasn't arrived! Fuck my school.

Rush is a scam; it just means they'll work later in the day to get it to leave any particular station. It's not like the guy in the truck is gonna speed to make it get there faster. :P

Fucking piece of shit truck died in an intersection today.  Damn idle is wacky when the AC is on so it dies.  Also, the seam where the air bag is supposed to break out on my steering wheel is cracked.  Finally, my driver's side window switch isn't working properly (barley works at all).

Cause could be lots of things, but the bottom line seems to be that the engine at idle doesn't have enough power to run the AC; try giving it some gas while it's idling?
