LA’s Fight From Above on The Hills tonight

Fight From Above gather on this couch every week in hopes of seeing Speidi say something douchey over their music

Fight From Above gather on this couch every week in hopes of seeing Speidi say something douchey over their music. This could be the week.

LA band and friends of the Snark, Fight From Above will have a song featured on tonight’s episode of The Hills.  The now Conrad-less show is pretty much a sitcom at this point, but tonight it’ll get a boost from some genuine local rock.  Tune in to support Fight From Above and then you never have to watch the show again, I promise.  The City isn’t a half bad show though (as long as Whitney stops seeing that Australian guy.  Sorry Australia.)

Lenovo Thinkpads suck at wifi connections

lenovo-thinkpad-wifi-connection-dropsThis has nothing to do with LA, but I’ve been meaning to create a post so others that are using Lenovo Thinkpads can gather and complain about how awful these computers are. I have two of them, and both cannot hold a wifi connection. I have searched for solutions, followed all instructions, and even after it seems fine for a few days, it always goes back to dropping connections. It used to freeze completely when I’d go to Start –> Connect To, but now I can at least right click on my wireless connection and hit “repair.” Either way this is a huge pain in the ass and I’m glad I have a Mac in the other room.
