IE8 SUCKS

Does anybody else think that the new Internet Explorer 8 is a piece of crap? I sure do. It crashes all the time, takes forever to load pages, the tabs don’t function as well as they did in IE7, and it just overall isn’t as usable as it used to be. It just might be Firefox time.

Federer Wins Wimbledon, Painful-as-Heck Loss for Roddick

Well, Roger Federer continued his reign of total evil world domination of tennis today by winning Wimbledon for the 7,326th time.

I was really, really rooting for Andy Roddick…he played his doggone guts out, and was darn near perfection. Both players battled for what seemed like a 50-hour game. I really felt bad for him. He was a true gentleman in his loss, though…he’ll be back, and I believe he’s going to go all the way.

Hats off to you, Andy…you have nothing to be ashamed of.

Cold Section of Finger

Have you ever had that thing where one small section of your finger will be cold, and the rest be warm? Like you can literally feel the skin and it’s colder in that area than the rest of your finger…what the heck is that?

Mints and Bad Breath

Can anyone tell me why eating peppermints (to hopefully cure your bad breath) can actually, in about 30 minutes after you eat the mint, make your breath stink worse? Or worser? I’ve heard that it comes from the bacteria that sugar produces, but I would love for a medical breath expert to weigh in on this one.

“Happy Feet” SUCKS

I watched it in the theater when it came out, and now that it’s on ABC and I caught it while flipping channels tonight, I was reminded how much that movie flat-out SUCKS. What a piece of crap. Shut up with all the dumb singing and nerve-wracking medleys.

Stone Temple Pilots

Just dug up some old STP tunes and was really blown away by how severely much they freakin’ ROCK. I almost forgot…I haven’t listened to them in almost 10 years. Absolute favorite album of all time? “Purple.” Absolute favorite song? “Still Remains”.

Can I get a witness?

Ben Harper’s Song

I was in Barnes & Noble the other day and I heard this cool song playing on their system–I didn’t know who it was, but I did my best to remember the words in the chorus, and the main phrase I remembered was “casket lined with silver dollars and a number with no name”. I initially thought that it was some new stuff from Lenny Kravitz, because it sounded very Kravitz-ish, but turns out it was this band named Ben Harper and Relentless7. I found this out by Googling the lyrics that I had memorized. Good tune…I believe I’m going to check out more of their stuff.

Big Mouths

I hate seeing big, wide open mouths. You know, like the old Morton Downey Jr. logo. It’s just weird.

Kris Allen Takes It All!

Kris Allen Wins American Idol

Well, I really don’t have too much else to say besides that…Kris Allen won American Idol tonight, and I think that he was more surprised than anyone else.

Note to AI producers: Ix-nay on the atianna-Tay. Mmmkay? Thx.

Frugal is the New Extravagant

Dude, I have never been more serious about bargain-hunting as I am now. I’m doing the coupon thing whenever I can. I’m comparison shopping. I’m taking my passion and making it happen like that girl on Flashdance. I’m opening bank accounts if they offer bonus loot to do so. Even in my investments I’m buying penny stocks instead of the blue chips. It’s full-bore bargain-mania going on here. And I’m darn proud of it. What I started realizing is that if you don’t cut costs where you can, you’ll be doo-doo out of luck if you need emergency cash. And right now is a good time to start saving money just for the sake of having some cash on hand for opportunities that may come along…shoot, where I’m at, people are practically GIVING away houses. At any rate…I guess I’m trying to say don’t spend money needlessly when you can use that same money for more productive purposes.
