First order of business: WISDOM OF FRIENDS NEVER HAPPENED. No. Never. It was just a nightmare suffered at the hands of a particularly bad batch of Taco Bell that somehow didn't really start messing with me until I was asleep. Such potent foulness that it took my sweet dream, where there was another LBT movie wherein Cuba Gooding Jr. played one of the characters, and somehow managed to mash that into a twisted, grotesque mutant of a nightmare. A nightmare that I woke up from and that never really happened.

So I'd get to work on a TV miniseries, 5 parts long, chronicling the details of how and when Ruby and Chomper got to the Valley, how Chomper got off the island and what became of his parents, how Redclaw got his scar and came to stalk about the parts of the Mysterious Beyond surrounding the Valley, how and why Screech and Thud came to be so buddy-buddy with Redclaw, and the troubles the inhabitants of the Valley had accepting Chomper into their society.

Then there'd be the 13th movie, a second season of the show, and a 14th movie, which might bring the series to a final, definitive end. I'm sleepy and haven't really thought about this, so I'm not really sure what I'd do with those three things, other than I'd really like to give Pterano, Bron, and Shorty prominent roles in at least one of the movies, as well as hand out some screen time to Pat, Rinkus, and Sierra (I just naturally assume they wouldn't have let Pterano off the hook that easily for leading them to some big, dumb exploding rock on top of a damn volcano)

I do know that, although they would try to lean more toward the early sequels in terms of artistic style applied to the surroundings (there's something of a... I dunno... rougher look that the series lost with the move away from traditional animation, and I liked it) the feel of the characters and the story would definitely take cues from the later ones. I quite like what a proficient deadpan snarker Cera developed into, and the story of the 10th movie really was great. Still can't believe they had the guts to actually bring Littlefoot's father into the narrative, after 9 movies with no such character. I'm glad they did, though, I like how it turned out. They really punched the status quo in the face with that one, and I got thrown for one helluva loop. Awesome. I also love what a legitimate menace the Liopleurodon got to be in the 9th movie, with the attack in the big pond. The rain, the lightning, the whole thing taking place at night... man, I loved that scene, even if Moe was the most irritating character this side of my nightmares.

The songs would stay, and I would take great pains to ensure that they never got as ear-bleedingly awful as Who Needs You or as brain-meltingly stupid as Legend of the Lone Dinosaur ever again. (LotLD may have been just a mindless bucket-'o-fun, so cheesy I could spread it on my pizza, and it was enjoyable in that specific, special way, but I really couldn't stomach another song like that) I would cut down on the number of songs in the show, however. Save them for certain special moments, y'know? Not every episode needs two songs, (or even any, in some cases) Movies 10 and 12 had better song lineups than the other sequels, so I'd take cues mostly from there, especially with regards to Adventuring and Flip, Flap, and Fly.

Maybe I could get other ideas after some sleep. I'll go try that. *collapses into desk*

So I can't just delete Windows.old?

Hmm. Installing Windows isn't the issue here. Neither is my graphics card. This whole thing basically comes down to my motherboard, and whether the lack of drivers listed as being specifically for W7 will somehow prevent my computer from taking advantage (be it in part or in full) of the 64-bit version.

Every single freecreditreport.com commercial ever made.

Progressive Insurance's current line of commercials, with that irritating, braindead floozy and her stupid haircut (Flo, I think)

Pretentious car commercials. The kind that tend to talk about things like "grace" and "beauty" and "affordable luxury", and often have the car driving along a deserted road (sometimes leaving noticeable trails of light as it moves) in a city with strange illumination at night. Especially Scion, with the crappy techno music they put in each commercial, complete with a stylized version of their stupid jingle, and their moronic tagline.

Any alcohol commercial that actually has the balls to brag about the taste of their carbonated pisswater. And that goes for all sorts of flavoured medicine and so-called "health foods", too. Matter of fact, I'm sick of commercials talking about great taste at all. Taste is one of the most subjective things you can talk about. It's entirely up to the individual whether something tastes good or not, and since you're not exactly likely to see any product's taste dissed in its own commercial, the whole idea should just be scrapped. Just give me the facts and shut up.

Any commercial that tries to portray a "parent-child" moment; they inevitably fail miserably at it, and the whole thing ends up looking awkward and creepy.

Anti-drug commercials that tell you to "just be yourself". It never seems to occur to these morons that some peoples' true self really is a poseur, a follower; someone who's pathetic enough to cave into social pressure like that because that's the kind of weakling he truly is on the inside. These idiots need to come up with a better way to tell people not to do drugs.

Gamestop commercials. "Power to the Players" my ass.

20 and jobless... socially incompetent... lazy... procrastination happy... fueled by carbonated sugar water...

Life goes on. For now, there's cake and ice cream.
