every flavor beans

August 14th, 2002 § Comments Off § permalink

The Harry Potter Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans are now available for purchase at the Jelly Belly website. To ensure you get all flavors, you have to buy the boxes as opposed to the bags.

Who has been adventurous enough to try the vomit, earwax and booger flavors? This bloke has.

a snippet:

“Want some earwax?” she asked.

What the hell, I am too far gone. I try the earwax, then the sardine, the spinach, and the black pepper. Why am I doing this?

“Are you ready for a booger?”

Yes, she had a booger-flavored jelly bean. With trepidation I swallowed it. Not bad.

“Only one more,” she says. “Vomit.”

eeewwwww! my brother has apparently tried a bunch of them, but “not the nasty ones”. hah!

The PowerBook came back again this morning. It seems in perfect condition. Thank gawd.

This time around, they replaced…
P12, INVERTER
P12 DISPLAY CLAMSHELL SAMSUNG

I’m glad I got AppleCare… I’d be SOL without it. If you don’t have it, GET IT.

Well, I just got my PowerBook back this morning. The speakers work beautifully, and the keyboard seems to be not so sticky anymore.

But the backlight seems to not work anymore. Ha! after a few minutes of use, the backlight goes out, and I can see the desktop images of the screen. I hafta restart to see the light again.

Ah well, I’m actually not angry… and it’s not too big of a deal to send it back in. If all goes well, I’ll have it back by Monday. Again.

Dude. AppleCare rocks.

I sent my PowerBook in for repair yesterday, and it’s gonna arrive back tomorrow. They’ve fixed two issues that have been bothering me for months (though I was too lazy to send it in till now)… my internal speakers had no sound output, and I had a wiggy keyboard that input random characters when certain keys were pressed. They even asked me if I had any cosmetic imperfections that I wanted them to repair. Cool, cool, cool.

Everytime I deal with AppleCare support, they are so incredibly friendly, and I actually have conversations with the Customer Service reps.

I love being a Mac user.
