There was this guy like, three months ago who walked into work with several hundred dollars of unused merchandise, and his original bills. He traded it for parts for another car.
He walked in again yesterday to return the other parts he'd bought. I'd actually even remembered his name and could easily have found the bill in the computer, but as a matter of procedure I asked if he had his original invoice.
"Well... I had it in an envelope on my dresser, and the dog got at it, and, ya know, one thing leads to another..."
That's right, I asked someone for something and they told me that their dog ate it.
Maybe I am destined to be a teacher someday? |

“Nothing takes the taste out of peanut butter quite like unrequited love.”
Charlie Brown was a genius.
And I love peanut butter too, damnit. |

The odometer in the car at work rolled over 3333 at 3:33 today while I was driving.
The statistician in me came a little. |

As it stands now, I am not a pillar of knowledge in terms of sexual prowess.
I mean I'm not going on a tangent about what I do and do not know about various sexual acts and the female anatomy and where's the best place to pee on her, but I don't lie about the fact that I didn't write the Kama Sutra.
So, take what knowledge I have now and regress it 10 years or so, and not a whole lot remains.
Anyone remember that song, Blue Monday?
You know, the one that was a cover of that 80s New Order song but nobody really knew it was a cover?
Well, I thought that the song was totally badass, and so I bought the album.
(Note: When fishing up links for a blog entry, typing "Orgy Candyass" does not yield the Google results necessarily expected)
Anywho, at 12 years old in grade seven, the cool thing to do was to bring albums that you'd just bought to school. So, one day, without even having a portable CD player as a cover for my glorified show-and-tell, I brought Orgy's album Candyass to school.
On this particular day, all of the cool kids were treating me like I was cool. Nay, like I was actually breaking the rules by having an album with that name in school.
I should break here to note the pronunciation of orgy. You know, or-jee.
So, at recess, 12-year old Tony is still showing off his awesome newly purchased album, when Mr. Ayre walks along. 12-year old Tony knows Mr. Ayre, he lives just up the road. He's a devoutly religious man and somewhat of a hardass as a teacher (well, for grade 7).
Mr. Ayre wants to know what all the commotion is about, so 12-year old Tony proudly hands Mr. Ayre his super cool new hard rock/industrial album. 12-year old Tony does not understand why all the people around him are ooh-ing as if he'd just swore.
Oh, shit.
The album title has ass in it.
12-year old Tony promptly apologizes to Mr. Ayre for bringing an album with that kind of language on it to school, and is getting a pretty harsh glare.
He then proceeds to tell Mr. Ayre that, despite the album name, or-gi is really cool band and they don't even swear in most of their songs.
Mr. A: What did you say the band was called again?
12YOT: Or-gi!
At this point, the teacher shook his head, handed me back my album, and asked me to put it away. Nobody understood why I didn't get in trouble.
And, if Id've known what an or-jee was, I probably wouldn't have understood, either. |

My Acer is propped up between two chairs over a house fan on bust so that I can play World of Warcraft without overheating.
Occasionally, the RAM fails and get Blue Screen of Death'd, but it beats overheating every 20 minutes.
Anyways, last night on my way to bed, I turned off the lights and tripped on my chair assembly, knocking my laptop to the floor.
I didn't even pretend to be horrified because of my hatred for this computer--but alas, it didn't even shut off, just jarred iit some I guess.
I've just discovered that the keyboard works again.
No really, fuck you Acer. haha |

Anyone seen the ads for Swing Vote?
Anyone else bothered that everyone is hailing it as a unique and current idea for a political/social commentary when the exact same concept was used in a story over 50 years ago?
Bonus points: the election in Asimov's story happens in 2008.
