New Tropic Thunder Trailer

Apropos of nothing in particular...

It is approximately 18.75 miles by water from the farm to Trevron's parent's house. Just thought I'd share that.

was gonna post a comment about why the macbook air sucks but the comment window is messed up...doesnt let me add a comment, and even if i could the window comes up way too small and isn't re-sizable :-(

by the way though...

The macbook air

is too expensive
has no optical drive
has no ethernet port
has no firewire port
has ONE usb port
has MONO speakers
has slow 4800 rpm hard drive (because its smaller)
has slow processor (maxes out at 1.6)

I'd wait a while...
