Sometimes in life, the pressure just gets to you. "Do this!" they say, but you hold strong. But then the dam breaks and you feel the urge to conform. You try to fight it, but you can't. Even though the actions will hurt you more than help you, you desire to be like everyone else. The thought keeps creeping in your head, and you know you won't ( Read more... )

So, I went to a Halloween party tonight and I've come up with a new dance! It's called the Hallway Shuffle. Have a drink in one hand, stand in a main thoroughfaire and then just try to avoid people as they walk by. Iknow, it's constant movement, but if you don't wanna get "served," you'll really have to step up (actual quote from me tonight [ ( Read more... )

according to the big box in my living room, I can now go on circuitcity.com and buy whatever I want and they'll have it waiting for me at the local store in less than a half hour. I don't see why I would need this service. If I wanted to get the item from the store, why didn't I just go to the store? It's not like it's hard to find things in ( Read more... )

During my lunch break today, I went out to look for a CD at a nearby store. As I was leaving to go back to work (without CD, unfortunately), I noticed the man next to me was wearing a helmet. That wouldn't be all that odd if he were driving a motorcycle or a Formula F1 race car, but it seems a bit much for a his Honda Civic...

today, I spent 5 hours watching a marathon of "Slings and Arrows," a Canadian television series. The basic premise: the backstage shenanigans of a small Shakespeare troupe. It was quite enjoyable and it really has me thinking about television in our country. You'd never see a program about Shakespeare here, we're too busy with CSI: Boise and so ( Read more... )

at the gas station tonight, I saw a new snack food called Cheez-It Twisterz (why one s is changed to a z, yet the other is left alone is beyond me). "Two great tastes in one!" it said. What were the 2 flavors? Cheddar and *More* Cheddar. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that just one flavor?

What's with sci-fi shows and doors? They're always automated. Do people in the future just not possess the arm strength needed? Has modern carpentry fallen by the wayside? There's no real practical use for automated doors on a spaceship. It's not like everyone has their hands full. Mostly they're just sucking away energy resources from the ( Read more... )

ack. so, I just got into an argument with my brother over a silly little spider in the house. My stance? it's harmless, there's no reason to kill it, take it outside if you can. His? Girlfriend's freaked out, gotta be swatted. I'm so taoist, I guess ( Read more... )

I don't know why Coke thinks that if they write a little jingle to sell their soda, world peace may be a possible outcome. I mean, c'mon, they've been at this for, what, thirty years now? I think by now, everyone's had a Coke, yet we're not living in "perfect harmony" yet. I'd have to say, this ad campaign has been an utter failure (by world ( Read more... )

Looks like we're having a party Saturday. Woo ( Read more... )
