iTunes for Windows uses these non-native widgets - as in, what one would expect to be the "full screen or not full screen" button on a windowed program is actually "whatever screen size it is right now or compact mode" button. It pisses me off. Such a stupid design choice to do that*. It's why I start swearing after about 10 minutes of using a Mac (that and their absolutely fucked one button mouse - it's like you've neutered the mouse or you put him in "special classes" that didn't actually catch him up with the rest of the mice, so when all the other mice were graduating to 2 buttons with a scroll wheel, that mouse was still playing with finger paint and crayons). Other than that, it's fine, I guess. I'll spare you my feelings about Apple evangelists.

* - Not that this stops others from doing it and in an even worse way.

Made croissants. They combine the extreme butter content and super-finicky nature of puff pastry with the milk and yeast of brioche. Not at all difficult to make, though. Croissants might be about the best smelling thing in the world, too. If you were wearing freshly baked croissant scented perfume, I'd follow you around all day in a really creepy way.

You know those amusement centers that every tourist-driven coastal economy has? They have like a big Godzilla/dinosaur or pirate statue, mini golf that incorporates the statue in some way, go karts, etc. Why isn't a TV show set in one of those places?

If you drive an expensive car, then do I have a good personalized license plate for you! "FEIGNED" Get it? The car is an illusion of wealth and class and sophistication. You are mocking the people make those assumptions about people based on cars. I think it's a good idea. Or if you have a car that carries a bunch of stereotypes with it get "LUCID" or "STR84RD". All of these are listed as available by the State of Washington Department of Licensing personalized plate database.

This wasn't much better. I'll try harder next time.
