Review # 165: Bus Pass

Wednesday, December 6th, 2006

My car broke down in August. I have yet to make any attempt to remedy this, although I should since I’m moving at the end of this month. I hate moving. Since then I’ve taken the bus everywhere, stupidly paying for each trip, scrounging for change every time. Today I decided to bite the bullet and buy an unlimited ride pass.
When I did this I felt a sting in my most sensitive spot…my wallet. I did the math and it would take 36 rides to make the $54.00 pass worth my money. I assure you I will be taking at least that many rides. It will be nice to have it handy, not having to dig through my change jar every time I have to go to work. And it sure beats hitting my boyfriend up for bus fare everytime we go somewhere.


I have been taking a lot of pictures of myself again

Review #142: Scrubbing Bubbles

Wednesday, October 18th, 2006

These bubbles don’t work half bad. They do, however, run down the wall of the tub, so it left streaks the first time, then I did it again. If you spray real slow the foam builds up alittle more and isn’t as runny. It didn’t get all the soap scum out of the tub, but there’s this sort of perfect square of scum forming where the scrubbing bubbles work in the area AROUND the square, but not IN it. This makes me think it’s not the product’s fault but something under the enamel of my tub. who knows.

Review #141: Godzilla Christmas Ornament

Wednesday, October 18th, 2006

I don’t often get christmas ornaments, but when I see something cool like a robot, or the batmobile I have to pick it up. Last year I saw a Godzilla ornament, but of course they were sold out. This year I saw a new one and they were out AGAIN! Today, however, I got one. I guess they got a new shipment in. And it was the last one! It even makes sounds. Everything today rocks.

Review # 129: Double strollers

Monday, October 2nd, 2006


These things are horrendous. Not only do they block aisles of grocery stores and take up the entire sidewalk, they hold not one, but two screaming maggots who will grow up into people that I hate. The only people who should have these are people who have twins. If your child is not old enough to efficiently walk on it’s own, don’t go popping out another one. You have a good stretch of at least twenty years to have healthy babies, why have them so close together? Because it’s easier for your career? Great, you’re selfish AND a baby factory.
ahh…maybe I’m just jealous becaue the existence of babies supports a rumor I keep hearing that people actually have sex.

Review # 124: Hairapy guys

Friday, September 29th, 2006


If I was a few years younger and not so secure in my masculinity, these stupid faggots would make me ashamed of being a homosexual. But I am, so they don’t. And I would totally do Micah.

Review #115 supplimental

Monday, September 25th, 2006

Steph thought I should put a picture of the bike up. I thought it was a moped and was going to make some crack about how I know she’s a girl but it’s no excuse to do things half-assed. She swears it’s not a moped because you don’t have to pedal it. She trailed off saying “But it’s an automatic clutch, so it’s not like a real motorcycle…” Fucked if I know.

Review # 116: Stanley steel toed boots

Sunday, September 24th, 2006



-These are WELL over three years old.
-They cost about $30 at Payless Shoe Source
-The tread is still good, lasting longer than any boots I’ve had before them.
-There are big holes where the toes bend. This is the only reason I need new ones, with the rain (hopefully) coming.
-They make me look taller.
-I will be looking for the same kind. I know where a Payless is, but I’m broke until next week.

Review #113: Sobe Superman “Adult” energy drink

Friday, September 22nd, 2006


I don’t know why it’s called an adult energy drink. I though it was alcoholic at first (it’s not), wich was amusing because it had the Superman logo on it. I guess they just don’t want little kids drinking it because it’s incredibly bad for you, but has the Superman logo on it. God, marketing people can be stupid sometimes.
It tastes like all the others, it costs the same as all the others and odds are, it works just like all the others. Poorly. It’ll be hard to tell because I’m drinking it between two bottles of champaigne.








Review # 108: Mac and Me (1988)

Wednesday, September 20th, 2006

This is the kind of movie that makes kids stupid. It sells them short and makes them the insufferable little brats they are.
I don’t know why I was thinking of this movie today, but I was. My best friend and I rented it about two years ago and…*sigh* It was a long ass commercial for Coke. I remeber thinking this when I first saw it and I must have been 7 or 8 years old. The only thing that keeps them alive is Coke? And apparently Skittles. I guess it’s a good thing these aliens don’t have any teeth. These are the ugliest things…I can’t belive this is the best the producers could come up with. God, his face looks like a nutsack/ass cheek combo. The movie must’ve been made in real a hurry.


My favorite part of this disaster is the dance scene at the McDonalds. There are kids dancing in the parking lot even before the little bastard shows up! I was really hoping that I could find the clip on Youtube, but I had no luck. Maybe I’ll make Stephanie use her NetFlix account and I’ll post it myslef.

Review #106: Papermate Erasermate pen

Monday, September 18th, 2006


I was just drawing with this pen for a t-shirt design (if said shirts ever materialize my blog readers will be the first to hear about it) and recalled that they have been around for as long as I can remember. I can’t belive they have not become obsolete as many wonderful things have. They are also brilliant. I could never have gotten such a clean image with a pencil, because the tip always dulls, or a pen, because I can’t erase the sketchy marks. Yes, it’s still sketchy but very clean compared to what I would have had using one of those other writing instruments.
