Revenge of the Nerds

Tue, 30 Sep 2008 15:35:12 GMT

I went to go pick up my new digital tuner converter box at Best Buy, and I happened
to land myself in the middle of of a video game release for The Force Unleashed. There
were lots of characters about.

Redemption

Fri, 12 Sep 2008 16:54:03 GMT

I saw the Godfather Part Two last night at the Castro Theatre.

I didn't really care for how mean everybody was. Which pretty much means I missed
the point of the movie, doesn't it?

So last night, I inadvertently dreamed up a new ending. Michael Corleone, feels really
bad about all the things that have happened, and turns himself in at the airport, and then
get the stuffing beat out of him by the police. But at least he feels redeemed.

Not Phunny (well, not officially anyway)

Yesterday I was on the J, and just outside, I saw a man walking down the passenger island
(the little concrete thing in the middle of the road where people wait for the bus). Since the
car is little above street level, I could only see the top half him as he walked.

He was walking, and all of a sudden he ran into a metal railing protecting the island from the
road. I though it was pretty hilarious.

Until I saw the white cane.

I found this here and thought it was funny.

Gloria Steinem on Palin: wrong woman, wrong message

Selecting Sarah Palin, who was touted all summer by Rush Limbaugh, is no way to attract most women, including die-hard Clinton supporters. Palin shares nothing but a chromosome with Clinton. Her down-home, divisive and deceptive speech did nothing to cosmeticize a Republican convention that has more than twice as many male delegates as female, a presidential candidate who is owned and operated by the right wing and a platform that opposes pretty much everything Clinton’s candidacy stood for — and that Barack Obama’s still does. To vote in protest for McCain/Palin would be like saying, “Somebody stole my shoes, so I’ll amputate my legs.”

It’s true. Women buy a lot of shoes.

Bad Milk

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 00:27:02 GMT

Yesterday morning, I daringly drank old-ish milk that I very carefully sniffed and sipped to
make sure it was okay to drink.

This morning, I daringly did the same thing.

What a difference a day makes.

The Shadow Is On The Wall

I went down to San Diego last weekend, and I saw this at the Mingei museum.

Trader Confusion

Wed, 06 Aug 2008 23:41:53 GMT

I had a friend of mine in town, and she asked if me there was any shampoo she could use.
I said, of course there is, it's right in the shower--the Trader Joe's stuff. And she said, oh,
you mean the body wash?

WHAT?!?!

I turns out that I have been washing my hair with body wash for an unknown amount of time.
Have I lost my mind? Well, no, I guess I just picked up a bottle that looks exactly like the
bottle of shampoo.

Hey Trader Joe, stop making me wash my hair with body wash by relabeling your shampoo.
