The US really needs to adopt public transportation. I mean, it makes drinking so much less worrisome. Drink, take the train home. No worries about driving drunk
I walked about 40 – 50 miles in my time there
I can’t recall everything I did, nor the order in which I did them, so this will be a random hodge-podge of happenings.
At 5:30 p.m., I saw people lining up outside several Best Buy store. These stores don’t open till 6 a.m. or so probably, so that’s at least 12 hours on the hard cement so that you can buy some new TV/computer/whatever. Wouldn’t you rather be at home with family?
Rick Astley performed his revived hit song, “Never Gonna Give You Up.” Rickrolling is more than a year old, people should let it die now. Seriously. Give it up.
With the holidays approaching, it’s a busy time of year. This year, it’s even more busy than usual. This week I’ll be spending Thanksgiving with some family in the area, then I’ll be heading out to Japan for a week to see some friends. During the week I’m gone, my parents shall move down to Panama.
So yes, Japan. The day is almost here. I still don’t know what I’ll do when I’m there, or what I may buy to bring back. Guess I’ll figure it out soon enough.
This past weekend I visited my cousins on the outskirts of Houston. As I was leaving, they handed me a military-issue MRE. Beef enchilada to be exact.
On Sunday I was going through boxes of old junk and came across a 9-year-old pack of Pokégum.
I now believe I have an experiment in waiting for me this week. I’ll make sure to document the process of cooking up the enchiladas and consuming of the gum.
So, shitty androgynous, emo bands have become all the rage recently. But where did they get their start? A few of my coworkers and I discovered the answer, and it’s none other than Chris Gaines, or should I say, Garth Brooks.
Now, you may not realize this, and it’s probably because it was a stupid thing to do, but Garth Books tried an unsuccessful pop career back during the height of his popularity. He even came up with a whole timeline and history for this pseudo persona. Did you know Chris Gaines was born in Australia to an Olympic swimmer coach?
Take a look at that mug of his. It screams “Daddy don’t love me know more and he beat me in front of my girlfriend and he took her from me and now I have nowhere to go so I’ll sing about it!” OK, maybe that pic doesn’t say it, but surely this second one does.
Wendy’s used to have the 99 cent value meal. It was great. All the items I wanted for 99 cents each! Now it’s the “Super Value” menu. That means not everything is 99 cents. Some is 1.19. That doesn’t sound like such a super value compared to what was had before.
