choke on that causality

Everyone always asks you…”Big plans for the weekend?” on Fridays. Don’t they? No, I don’t. I’m a big loser. Thanks for asking. It seems like I never really have anything to do on the weekend. I have to do laundry and clean pet cages. Fun stuff. While Mike works all weekend.

Wow. There’s nothing like picking up a luke warm can of soda and taking a big swig thinking it was the brand new one you just opened. You’d think that’d learn me to stop leaving half empty (pessimism :P) cans of soda laying about the house…but no.

I just finished cleaning Peyton’s cage. Poor little guy. His claws start to get long and then he will get little scabs on his back from scratching…I clipped them and like most of my pets he acted like he was dying as I did it. But then he got a treat….You could almost see the euphoria in his eyes as I scratched his back. Cutie.

Last night we decided we were going to try and let puppy sleep with us in our bed instead of her crate. We take naps together all the time, so I figure it could work. Well about 1:30 in the morning she started pushing me and squirming all about. Then she jumped off the bed and started snooping about the room. Ya know…I love that puppy a ton…but I still don’t trust her. She would find something to get into. So she made it about 2 hours before I couldn’t stand it anymore. Back in the crate she went.

Today I was getting coffee in the break room, and I couldn’t believe it, but somebody had unscrewed the powdered creamer container so I just dumped it everywhere. WTF? I didn’t realize I worked with a bunch of 12 year olds. Luckily no one saw the incident.

In the mornings I use this hair product that I like, but after I first put it on it ends up getting a little crunchy wet look so I have to wait a few minutes then kinda break it up and then it looks decent. Anyhow, sometimes I’m in a hurry and on the drive to work I realize I still have the crunch going on up there…so I have to do it in the car. The problem is I get gunky sticky hair product all over my hands. Well I got an idea. Mike left all these latex gloves in the car from when he used to drive it to work. I don’t really remember why he had them. He just did. Anyway…imagine me with a latex glove on primping my hair on the drive to work. Works well….I just happen to look a little crazy.

Last night the season premiere of Heroes was on…at the time I was completely absorbed in my video game. Final Fantasy XII. I love it. I know it’s a year old…but it’s still a good game. Anyhow. I saw the red light on and I knew it was set up to tape. Well when Mike and I finally sat down to watch it after 11ish…I pressed play and black screen. The info said it taped from 8:59 - 8:59. What the fuck! What a god damn stupid piece of fucking shit. Everytime something important is supposed to tape it messes up. Not all those reruns of Roseanne and Star Trek Voyager I tape…but the important new shit. This is like the 4th DVR we’ve had from Time Warner Cable and I’m getting fed up. Tivo is looking better and better.

So you know what was wrong with our Air Conditioning? There was a dead crusted bug stuck to the elecrical connection. He scaped that off and it seems to be working ok now. Even though it has now been cold, and we haven’t really needed it the past few days. But hey 85 dollars later…

The other day I was at Walmart digging through bags of lettuce to try and find a good one for the pigs. So I was down on my knees digging way in the back looking at all the dates and what not…Well some lady stopped me and started asking me about where she might find something about apples… and I just stared at her with a blank look…”uh….” And then she was like, “oh, you don’t work here.” Omg. Do I look like I work at Walmart? How embarassing for me. And I had just come from work so I was wearing like Khakis and a striped button down shirt. I didn’t think I looked like I worked at Walmart. Give me a complex why don’t ya.

What is with the staff at Walmart lately. They used to wear those blue vests so everyone was incredibly identifiable. Now they just wear khakis and a blue polo, so it’s not as easy to pick someone out. Not that I ever need much help when I’m shopping at Walmart…but if I did want it…it is now slightly more difficult to locate someone.

There should be rules for using the self-checkout lane. I’ve probably went off about this before…but seriously.

Rule #1: Credit/Debit only. - I’m sick of stupid people counting out all of their change in nickels and putting them in the machine.

Rule #2: Express lane #of items applies - I don’t want to see someone with a whole grocery cart full of shit at the self checkout. Come on. What are you thinking?

Rule #3: No produce (or anything that needs weighed for that matter) If you’ve got produce, you better know the god-damn code to punch in and not sit there for an hour scrolling through the produce index to find the code for your god damn kiwi.

Rule #4: Form one line and one line only for a set of machines. 4 machines 2 on each side. Don’t make me pick a side asshole cause I’m going to the first one available.

Rule #5: No alcohol or Tobacco. You are going to get carded you idiot. The machine can’t do it.

IFA2007: Up Close and Personal Video of Philips Aurea - Gizmodo

I know this is old news to some, but the new Philips ambilight-y LCD Television is pretty freakin sweet.

Hands On: iPod nano Review - Gizmodo

Check out this review of the iPod Nano. I’m not sure how I feel about it overall, but it just seems ridiculous to try and watch video on a screen that small….especially wide screen. I’ll pass.
