I Did It

Well, I went ahead and did it. I bought myself and iPod Touch. I was going to hold off and wait. I told myself I didn't really need one but after talking to D. I realized that I must have one. I freaking love it so far!

15 Minutes of Fame

About 2 weeks ago C-Fresh's car was stolen from work. Yesterday it was recovered and it is famous!
Read the News Article Here

So the idiot crashed the car right around the corner from where we live. I heard all the sirens and all the brou-ha-ha and I thought to myself "wouldn't that be funny if that was the cops catching C-Fresh's car thief?" Turns out it was exactly that.
Oh, and the officer who got hit is okay.

E-Books

I just found out today that I can "check out" e-books from the library! How cool is that? They even have a way that after 14 days the book is "returned" to the library. Technology can be so cool sometimes.

Republican Hate

I am by no means saying that all Republicans are haters. I know for a fact that is not true but there is a very vocal subset of Republicans who only get elected by praying on fear and hatred. Oklahoma State Rep Sally Kern is one of them. I found this over at Bill In Exile and if you haven't heard it yet please listen. She didn't know she was being recorded at a speech and spoke quite candidly. Please feel free to email her at sallykern@okhouse.gov and let her know what you thought of her little pep talk.

Coffee Helps You Get Laid

What? Coffee What? Well, just look at some of the benefits of drinking coffee and tell me if those aren't key ingredients to getting laid?

1. It makes you more social


2. It improves endurance and stamina


3. Increases mental performance

Oh sure, it also has an ass load of antioxidants and it makes shift work more tolerable but hey, sex sells, so that is how coffee needs to get marketed.

Snow Day

Woo-Hoo! Let's hear it for the blizzard of 08! I am completely snowed in right now. Even if we do open up the store (right now we are on a 7 hour delay) there is now way I can make it out of my parking space let alone down the street. The only way I would be able to make it out is if I were to shovel the street and we all know that ain't happening. Downside to this is we are going to have to walk to the video store and the grocery store in a blizzard. . .
Hmmm. . .what is the temp in L.A. again?

Cafe Conversations/ Fruit Cocktail Pt 2

My friend Suzanne just read the post about fruit cocktail and she totally reminded me of one of the grossest cafe conversations ever. This one afternoon a little kid barfs up fruit cocktail right in front of the counter. Of course being the east side of Cleveland the mother just grabs his hands and hustles out without even saying sorry. We were all stunned at what had just happened and a lot grossed out. I run back, grab the mop bucket, and head out to clean up the fruity, pukey mess when a lady walks up and almost walks right through the puke. After I warn her to "be careful where you step" she looks down and says "Oh yummy! What kind of frappuccinois that someone spilled? It looks delicious". Needless to say I almost gagged as she was obviously delighted to see this "Yummy frappuccino". I swear she was about to stick her finger in it and try it. It was well worth the look on her face when I told her "Um, that isn't a drink. . .some kid just puked all over the floor. . ."
I thought the girls behind the counter were going to pee their pants when they heard that!

Fruit Cocktail Sucks

I remember when I was a kid and fruit cocktail was an awesome treat. I picked up a can the other day at the grocery store and man it sucks now. There used to be all sorts of cherries and pineapples mixed in with the peaches and the pears. Now? All it is now is a whole bunch of peaches, some pears and one, just one, cherry and three pieces of pineapple. WTF? That isn't fruit cocktail! That is peaches and pears with some extra crap thrown in. I can't believe they can even list cherries on there. Shouldn't it just be cherry?

Where Am I?

For anyone (all four of you regular readers that is) wondering why the posts are sparse well, I am editing my first novel. Right now I am literally cutting up the pages and stapling them together and throwing away bad scenes and trying to insert new ones. As soon as that is done then I have to do the same thing with the Word document. It may sound easy but let me tell you, it can be a pain in the ass. I am also realizing how much more I am going to have to write to fill in a lot of blanks. Seeing as how this is NaNoEdMo I am also trying to log in a solid 50 editing hours this month. I'm hoping to have a solid story by the end of the month and maybe even some polish. I'll keep ya'll posted on the progress.

Ah spring. . .it feels like you are finally on your way to Central Ohio. Being in Vegas has made me long for open windows and not being bundled up from head to toe just to stay somewhat warm. I know we have a lot of rain to go through and there is still time for snow to strike but I am going to stay optimistic now that March is here. Before you know it it'll be time to start planting the garden. Woo-Hoo!
