Actually, scratch that. He does, and goes by Jethro Q Walrustitty.

Not Smoke on the Water again. There are better Purple songs.

INT is knowing a tomato is a fruit. WIS is knowing it doesn't belong in a fruit salad. CHA is convincing people that it does.

The Caliber was a replacement for the Magnum? Really? That doesn't make much sense in my mind...I thought the Caliber was a replacement for the Neon?

Also, first-generation Jeep Libertys are everywhere where I live. Just wanted to point it out. That was one popular car.

Oh hey, you're right, the Caliber replaced the Neon.

...Oh, that's right, they replaced the Magnum with a Crossover. And a bulky-looking one at that.

It looks like the unholy offspring of a Caravan and a Grand Cherokee. [lol]

As for cars that are popular around here, I see quite a few Priuses in traffic some days. Toyotas in general are pretty common.

I find it hilarious that Avatar managed to piss off liberals more than it pissed off conservatives.

@lee: I know, it's like they took everything that made the Magnum cool and threw that out for the sake of having a Crossover.

Ah well, Chrysler gets to sell Fiats and hopefully Alfa Romeos, so it balances out.

@Myrm: Dammit, I keep thinking of the cartoon everytime I hear that word.

Myrm: really? That's hilarious.

People take that film way too seriously. I realize the film takes itself way too seriously, but it's still just a sci-fi fantasy flick with extremely good CG for Christ's sake.

So watching Depeche Mode music videos.

...Jesus, it's really eighties. I mean, you can see it on the video quality and of course the music itself. But what really drives it home are the hair styles. I nearly got a shock when I watched Everything Counts.

Seriously, did people really wear those... whatever that is, voluntarily back then?

People aren't as awful as the internet makes them out to be.

Lol, 80's Depeche Mode. Violator onward's where it's at, yo.

I think everybody in the 80's was perpetually on drugs, explaining the fashion confusion.

Everybody.

Granted, we have our fashion farts too, so don't have too much fun dissing them.

Anyways, I'm waiting for today's episode of Shakedown with Leo Parente.

Oh lord, Personal Jesus is still bad.

It's okay though, because Dave Gahan learns how to dress eventually.

Okay, maybe not. (But man do I love his tattoos, especially the ones on his back.)

Yup. Even though she's a strictly indoor cat, she can be difficult to find sometimes. She's pretty quiet as she just chills a lot.

I managed to cut some tangles off her without her flipping her shit, yay!

But then I accidentally cut her, and now I feel bad. :<

Ugh, gawd.

I pulled an all-nighter, and then proceeded to sleep from 6 to about ten minutes ago.

Now my body hurts. sad

Funny, I did the same, except I woke up earlier. Then again you could be in a different time zone for me— I'm EST.

There are some serious knots of fur on her belly because she's not as able to clean herself as she used to be, and they can't be combed out so they have to be cut off.

Technically I woke up earlier too, but all that I remember from the first time I woke up was my sister telling me that I'd more or less be alone.

If the lack of people in my apartment is anything to go by, then I wasn't hallucinating.

And, yeah, Eastern too. North Carolina, to be exact.

I was in North Carolina about a year ago actually for a hiking trip with Outward Bound.

It was hard, but fun.

Let me guess: the mountains.

I don't think I've known anybody who's actually lived up there. Most of my "circle" only lives/lived in the sections to the right of them (myself included).

...I really want to get out of here. Perhaps I might buy myself a scooter and cross the border to head to Busch Gardens.

I also really need money.

You bet. Can't count how many mountains I hiked my ass up, but man is standing on the summit and viewing the surroundings so satisfying.

Also canoed the French Broad.

How is canoeing? I've never done it.

'Course, I've never done a lot of things since my parents and sister have this idea that I desperately want to become a hermit, but that's another topic.
