Hey, Jennifer finally brushed her hair! Yay. She's very pretty when she does, and doesn't look like she just got out of her car after sleeping in it after a long night. I totally crush on her. She seems nice and smart.

You, too, Mike, but just not my type

BTW, why oh why do you just cut off the video. That's soooo weird.

I want to see MSI (Windows Installer) sessions. There are still so many applications that just don't bother using the functionality that it provides.

EDIT: And WIX sessions.
