Brothers in tiger attack arrested again.

Seriously, are these guys the dumbest wastes of life ever?

Review: New guide gives Twitterific advice – Technology – MiamiHerald.com.

In 140 characters or less: this is a little bit ridiculous.

Why does Yahoo! put this shit on the front page? This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever read. It should be entitled, “How women externalize their desperate shallowness in order to make themselves feel less alone because they don’t understand that things like this don’t make people happy.”

I’m grumpy because the Dodgers squandered a 6-0 lead, and because, despite promising the lords of the universe that I would (middle) name my first born child for whichever batter hit that home run to send the game into extra innings, there were no takers. Hence, there will never be a Max Juan Pierre Burdette, a Max Matt Kemp Burdette, or a Max Casey Blake Burdette.

And that pisses me off too.

ARRRRGH.

…at this point, with all the information that’s out there about the dangers of smoking, if you’re still smoking is it really the tobacco companies’ fault?

So for about six months, the Toyota of Riverside people have been pestering me to replace my air cabin filter. This is really something that chaps my hide about having any car maintenance done – they always want to sell me something else. Several times, and always with the reproachful tongue-clucking which is meant to impart, “Okay, but now your car might explode!”

I looked it up – the cabin air filter does exactly what you’d think something with that name does – it filters the air in my cabin. I also looked up how much the part costs. For a genuine Toyota air filter, it’d be around $35.00 retail, or like $20.00 online. The price to replace it at the dealership? $60.00. So that’s like $35.00 for labor. And you know what it takes to put in the part? Just remove the glove box, take off the air filter cover, pop it in, and replace. I tried it this evening. It took me two minutes.

And you know what else? MY CAR DIDN’T EVEN COME WITH A CABIN AIR FILTER.

So they would be replacing…what, exactly? And charging me how much to replace something that the manufacturers didn’t even deem important enough to include standard?

FUCKERS.

My own fault for still going to the damn dealership to get my maintenance done. I hear Joe Pesci screaming, “They fuck you with the cell phones!”

Grrrrr.

This is someone else’s video of X2. I actually went on this ride. Of course, this video was the first time I saw what was happening to me since I shut my eyes at about the 1:10 point and didn’t open them again until I knew for sure I wasn’t going to die.

Of course, Paula and Curt had a great time on all the scary rides, and I looked very much forward to my obligatory amusement park churro. It was a great time, though! Next time I have been promised a churro + stunt show. That’s my speed, baby. ;)

Curt brought me flowers today, too. :) Besides being sweet, it gave me the chance to continue practicing with the macro lens my dad gave me a few weeks ago. Whee!
