i got offerred a really, really, really, really good part-time job. it's in the gables, 30 hours/week and it pays $15/hour!! dayuummmm! i've only aspired to make so much with overtime. it's almost a shame that it's part-time otherwise i could push the envelope and get over-time (that'd be $22.50/hour!) it's a temp assignment that's at least 3 ( Read more... )

so i was at the ale house last night with my top blokes: rob and jose. when these two extremely drunk (and possibly gay) guys come up to us. one of them started talking to jose first, asking him if they can see a scratch on his buddies' nose. the more thuggish guy then approached the table entirely and wanted to know which one of us was driving and ( Read more... )

so finally xbox 360, ps3 and wii. all the fancy gadgets have come out and we'll be safe from expensive generation leaping for another 5 or 6 years. i've never been one to buy one of these at the peak of their demand/price. patience usually pays for itself later on. but since i dismantled earlier this year and sold off my ps2, my gamecube, my ds and ( Read more... )

as expected, after last week's election people already started announcing that they'll be running for president in '08. sadly though (for several reasons), my all time favorite guy, senator russ feingold decided not to run...

he would've been the only person in '08 that:
