So having finally tired of playing with skinning programs (FOR NOW), I thought I would post some screencaps of what has been driving me insane in short spurts betweeen work and sleep for the past while. Because it's the internet, and why do anything unless the internet can give you validation?

EXPOSITION TIEMS: Eventually, awed and thrilled by the shiny black reflective surfaces, high speeds, eerie responsiveness, and understated leather and chrome accents, I ended up caving to the inevitable and naming my ~*new laptop*~ Bentley. But! Cognisant of the fact that this name is not one to be lightly bestowed, I thought that I had better show due respect and trick him out appropriately. Result: Bentley, sporting his new setup (spot the joke) 'Kukulkán'.








And now, the fact that I am looking at these caps and going ugh, actually, what I should do instead is use - is probably a sign that I should Step Away.

That is lovely so sleek and shiny. I stare at my desktop and am summarily jealous.

Also, HOW MUCH does it make me laugh that my one-liner complaint is sandwiched between lengthy tweets from Brent Spiner and Stephen Fry? Lots. Lots.

Preeeeeetty! *pokes*

I agree, Bentley is not a name to be bestowed lightly.

I'm also in love with the name. :)
