That's pretty much exactly how I'm thinking about it. That's why I'm not too upset at this point.

Is that Oliver?

Clerks 2 looks totally and completely horrendous! And I am a huge fan and owner of the first. It would have to get a lot of great reviews from legit sources before I'd see it in the theater.

But by all means, let's hang out Saturday. The Doc works until evening, so until then all I had planned was packing and I hate packing.

After two weeks of aggravation, we finally got our car back from the body shop. I didn't even recognize it. It looked so shiny and new. They didn't repaint the car, did they?

No, they washed and waxed it.

Wednesday, I've got an appointment to talk to a doctor about possibly having ADD. That could be cool or lame. What if I come home with...

sounds like a good idea, but what is that tag cloud thing seen above... i do not like that.

is there a way to make tagging look like categories? i like having a list of categories, and then selecting from them. it is fine if the same thing is in multiple categories, but i don't want to have to come up with the words myself.

i'm a very orderly, list type person though, so i might be a bit more resistant then most.

I met an old man from Cuba today. He's not afraid of robbers because he sleeps next to an axe.

you have made me paranoid of robbers lately.

It's 10 hours each way, +/- for tailwind/headwind. Then you add in the 45 minutes for train each way, plus waiting...and waiting at the airport.

Last time I was there, there had been a blizzard a couple days prior, closing the airport. There were people squeezing onto my flight who had been waiting on standby in the airport for all of those days. And more people who still were stuck there. Not that there will be snow this time. Just freakin' hot and humid.

The apartment downstairs was robbed today. The interesting part is that I talked to the robbers.

Actually, no, it wasn't interesting. Two teenage wanna-be gangbangers came up the stairs, just as I was going down them. It was early afternoon. I stopped at the top of the stairs. They asked if Alex was home. I said they had the wrong apartment. They left and walked...

I feel kinda bad too. I was sleeping one night, and heard thumpings and bumpings upstairs. It's super-rare, as the people upstairs are normally so cool - I was like...I'll cut them slack, they're good people.

Except...well...it wasn't the neighbors. Someone smashed in the locks in the normal lock and the deadbolt.

Now if I see street people hanging out nearby, I lie and tell them there have been break-ins in the building lately, and they should probably not hang out nearby, lest they be judged the guilty party on accident.

I got robbed once. All they took from a huge house was my roommate's bike, a jar of change and most of my pants. So we were on the lookout for a kid riding a yellow bike, wearing huge gang-banger jeans that were probably falling down from all the change in the pockets.

I've destroyed two keyboards in the past two weeks. Both times by spilling things on them. If I keep going at this rate for the next year, I'll spend $1,560 on keyboards, more than the cost of the computer I'm writing this on.
jesus_smash:
HA, that really sucks. I try to keep such things away from my keyboards.

I set off a bug bomb in my room today. It's a close second to burning the mother down. The funny thing is, just hours after I set the thing and aired the room out, there's already a new spider in my room that took over the web of a dead one.
aperock:
i laughed so hard i spit my soda all over my keyboard when i read that. i am known to distroy keyboards myself. hey you could by the warranty thing at best buy. that way you can take the keyboard back for a replacement even if you spill things on it. by the way. do you still want our tv. i have another friend who wants it, but i said somebody had dibs.

First of all, Tawnya is right, as usual.

I remember a few years ago the place where I spend my springs (which you can figure out) got an In-n-Out. My girlfriend went on and on about how amazing it was and how I HAD to get one immediately. I did, and it was ... good, but not life-changing or anything. I thought it was like a somewhat better version of Dick's.

And I absolutely love Carl's Jr. I know people who live here think of it as just crappy fast food, but I love it. I've had it twice in four days.

Today's videos of people hurting themselves include why you shouldn't wrestle on a roof, why riding a laundry basket down a ladder is a bad idea, and why I sometimes wish I were a redneck.

Edit: I now think the rednecks were british.

Boom City is white trash heaven. It's where over a hundred Indians (Native Americans, if you prefer) set up firewoks booths and try to get you to buy from THEM as opposed to the other 99 booths. Last year I went and spent over a hundred dollars. I like 'splodey things. blush

That wrestling thing was horrible. Those guys were friggin idiots. Oh and thanks for that last one. Now I want to blow stuff up.

Just five minutes ago, I said to LankaKitten, "Baby, come here, come here, I've got this great video on screen."

She groaned. "It's not someone on fire, is it?"

Whoa, I've gotten a little predictable in my afternoon delights.

Here's the link.

Ha, I hate when I'm predictable.
