Screw the 99¢ store.

Finally, a store that offers real value. I’m tired of wasting my hard-earned money on overpriced crap. This store offers crap at a price I can afford.

Why is there no Dunkin Donuts in L.A.?

Not that I should really be eating a lot of donuts these days, but my god, I would kill for a good chocolate glazed donut.

Who the hell is this?

All right, I admit it. I waited in the nerdfest Best Buy line to get my Star Wars DVDs on the first day. (However, I did not stay up to get them at midnight, nor did I wear anything other than my normal clothing.) Like a hyperactive child at Christmas, I opened up my package at work and popped the Return of the Jedi DVD in to watch the very end. I had heard Mr. Lucas had made some changes, and I wanted to see them. Somehow, he added Harry Potter to the final scence in his beloved trilogy. I do not know why. I enjoyed watching Darth Vader’s funeral pyre a lot more now that I can imagine that that is Hayden Christensen, but I really didn’t want to see his face staring aimlessly into the distance while Yoda and Obi-Wan ghost out. I miss the kindly old white-headed Anakin who actually belonged in the trilogy. Okay, that’s all the ranting I can do for right now. I’m going to sit here and wait for George Lucas to punch me in the face.

Beware of Garbage.

Our neighbors built this large, intimidating cage around their garbage bin recently. At first, I thought they were planning on getting a tiger. So far, though, the cage has only been used to contain this dumpster. I don’t know if they’re throwing away really dangerous stuff (like tigers), or if they just don’t like people taking their trash. I find it very hard to believe that anything they’re throwing anything is good enough to justify this amazing dumpster cage.

Limited time offer.

Unfortunately for you, this sale on ceramic dogs has probably already ended.
