I think I've had my fill of hearing Van Halen's "Everybody Wants Some" every time I get in my truck and turn on the radio. Commercial radio used to be tolerable until all the decent stations sold out to the teenage pop format. Now we have only one decent rock station in this town whose programming director apparently has a two hour song cycle that is looped over and over and over and over and over and sweet Jesus if I hear "Freebird" one more time I'm going to *beep* the *beep* until the *beep* *beep* *BEEEEEEEEEEEP*-ing bastards can't *beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep*......

I lost my internet connection last night at about 4am. No livejournal, no irc, no Counter-Strike, nada, zilch, nothing. It was social deprivation. Even worse...I printed about five boxes of 9 1/2" x 11" paper for the registrar's office. Virgil had started the job and the print wasn't lined up correctly, but since he had already printed three boxes I assumed we were well underway. Eight boxes of paper and eleven hours after the job began...my boss arrives, sees the job and asks if they line up with the envelope. "Uh...what envelope!?!?!"...He walked over and pulled an envelope from a compartment inside the printer...the addresses didn't line up with the address window...*insert appropriate swear word, or despairing comment here*. My boss was pissed, but since I didn't start the job and knew nothing of the envelope he was pretty cool about it.

Bad Day, Fuck It.

I went home and my living room breaker had tripped. I unplugged everything, and reset it. It tripped again, though nothing was pulling any juice. I called the maintenance guy, and fell asleep. Two hours later he showed up, and it was my OLD landlord! I thought I was dreaming for a minute, and he looked shocked too. He's a really nice guy who laughs a lot, so I helped him take apart the outlets so he could look at them. He couldnt' find anything wrong. He rewired the last outlet, and the breaker stayed on. We stood and watched television and talked while waiting to see if the breaker was going to hold. After ten minutes I still had electricity so he left...I went to bed, and after lying there for ten minutes almost asleep, I heard the breaker pop. Sonofa!!!! I can go without television, but I can't use my stereo either...I guess I'll call them back to look at it in the morning. Bad Day, Fuck It.

Take as needed if symptoms persist.

I'm thinking about trading my truck in for something more suitable for the goddamn snow.

I'll probably go with the faster and fuel efficient at-st...


Or the deluxe, unbreakable, all-terrain...


Hear what Motor Trend has to say about the new 2001 AT-AT:
From behind the driver's stick of an AT-AT, a bold yet tasteful control center is at your command. For tactile beauty, there is the rich wood and leather trim of the AT-AT's dashboard. For convenience, its fingertip audio system controls help keep your attention focused and your course maintained. And for pure design, the AT-AT's instrument cluster combines analog readability with the look of an ultra-premium watch face. There's even a new transmission temperature gauge to help you keep track of the brave new world under the AT-AT's skin.

Hmmm....now how do I finance?

Deep Thoughts With Matte Blackey

I wish I could catch the sock monster...you know, the one who invades your washing machine and devours a sock, leaving the sock's mate lonely and sitting in your drawer. That is until I match the lonely sock with another lonely sock that vaguely matches. I know that they aren't happy.
