I ate too much yesterday because of the deal from American Express. I purchased a bunch of meals for over $10 to get $10 back from AE. Yummy.

I yelled at my ISP for just charging me now for a modem I bought four months ago. What a chicken shit operation. Still better than Bell though.

They probably figure that even if a handful of people are in the know and scrutinizing enough to see the difference that worse comes to worse calling them on it just means reverting the charge back. Potential to gain with nothing to lose.

I live in a country with substantial law enforcement, so I'd probably get caught and charged with a crime if I used an RPG to destroy any car that's blasting absurdly loud bass in a residential area.

1. Had regular milk with my Honey Nut Cheerios. I normally use only organic milk!

2. Only white bread with my coffee. Ewww... I only eat the finest wheat bread.

How can I live?? Why, does this happen to me? Why!!!

My mom passed away 3 years ago. I'm currently with my father and he doesn't shop as much as he should.

I was just kidding. When I need something I go out and buy it myself. :)

Regular milk tastes horrible after drinking organic regularly.

Sold my table saw today. Found out during my burglary they stole the blade guard to it :(

New owner didn't care, but they still sell for about $100.

Since Thanksgiving, I discovered 3 additional things that were stolen that I didn't realize (roasting pan, DE shaving kit, and my blade guard).

I hate this, when people keep spilling spoilers on something that's not even out yet. At least wait till it's out FFS!

That's why I always avoid anything related to something that I'll probably want to watch when it comes out.

Heck even TV series, people should not spill any spoilers until a season is actually over. Lot of people like to wait and watch the episodes all at once.

Well, its over a year away, so maybe we wont be able to avoid all the hype.

Bummer.

Accidentally drank a four day old open half bottle of water.



Travel today was supposed to be 3 and a half hours but traffic and accidents made it 5. Missed GB NE game.



Drove past a mexican place called Pepes after getting off the highway trying to avoid traffic and spent the rest of the trip trying to remember how long ago I ate at one.

Got dressed and ready to go to work today and found out 5 minutes before I left the house that the office is closed due to a power outage. Now I am too awake to go back to sleep...
