First order of importance: Spiders big enough to eat chickens.

And in keeping with the spider trend: Boy had two spiders nesting in his ear.AHHHHHHH!!!! to both of those ( Read more... )

I got my third flat tire in two years today. The day started off fairly well with a two-hour delay and an interesting and amusing assembly about space from the Franklin Institute before lunch. The kids weren't incredibly annoying and that's always nice. I don't remember yelling at them at all today ( Read more... )

My dad took my car today to get the oil changed, as he has a coupon and they're leaving tomorrow night. So I drove his car. Not cool. You have to pump the brakes if you would like to stop. Not my cup of tea, but I made it home without incident.

Tonight is Boondock Saints. On the pretty movie screen. Unrated and with additional junk. Mmmhmmm

My dad decided to see if we could force the car window to go up. No dice. He just ended up making it go down more so now it’s halfway open, as opposed to little more than a quarter open. Nothing like driving around in the dead of winter with the window down.

Just saw In Good Company with Krop. It was pretty good. I didn’t expect the ending ( Read more... )

I watched Shaun of the Dead last night. Excellent. I love zombie flicks to begin with because they’re so funny but make it a British comedy? That’s pure gold right there. I am definitely buying that DVD. It looks like it has good extra features as well ( Read more... )

I was driving to go see a movie last night when the damn Commodore decided that its windshield wipers didn’t want to work anymore. And seeing how I kind of needed the wipers since it was snowing and sleeting, I had to turn around halfway there and go home. I was so very annoyed ( Read more... )

Watched the horrid and stupid VMAs last night. I swear by the end of the show if I had to see 50 Cent or Justin Timberlake on stage one more time, I was going to scream. The only bright spot in the shtoopid show was Coldplay's performance. Very nice. And did anyone else notice that the same people were nominated for every category? Ellie ( Read more... )

The Egg is dead. My father confirmed my worst fears when I came home this evening. It's been in the shop for a month or so and I just knew I'd never see it again. I think it got lonely when I was away and it just died from depression ( Read more... )

My dad gave me the hood ornament from the Olds. He removed it so he could put wire through the hole to make sure the hood won’t fly up again. It’s got two months until inspection and my dad will be damned if he doesn’t drive it until the last day possible ( Read more... )

You know that part in Tommy Boy where they’re driving and suddenly the car hood flies up onto the windshield ( Read more... )
