We're going to Mexico! Viva KR/JD trips and fish tacos!

Whatever you do, please do not go see 300. Aside from the men in leather panties and crimson capes, this movie is worthless. I want my 116 minutes back!

It's almost 2 am and the bobcat plows are still out plowing the parking lot below my window that has already been plowed. There has to be some sort of noise ordinance laws they are breaking by making such ruckus late into the night, I say to myself deliriously, so I checked it out.

Ugh and also stop getting married, at least until I do. Haha.

Argh! A friend and I were sitting at a bar on Friday afternoon talking about how wonderfully reliable the 1997-1999 Ford Escorts are. My lovely '98 Zx2 has 160,000 miles on it and I haven't had to make a single major repair. On the way home from the gym tonight (2.5 miles) my car totally took a dump and overheated - big time. WONDERFUL! The "check ( Read more... )
