Japanese Cars
 

I've made it my personal mission in the last few days to write down all the stupid car names I see when I'm out driving.  I've noticed all these before, but it struck me that you people don't have the benefit of witnessing the silliness, so I thought I'd enlighten you.  These are all REAL car names that we see all the time (usually as we're screaming at them to hurry up and go, hurry up and turn, or hurry up and get the heck out of our way).  The smaller and boxier the cars, generally, the dumber the name.  Enjoy.

Scrum
Naked
Toppo Wide
Friendee
Vitz
Canter
Laputa
Cube
2.0 Exciting Version
TownBox
Bolero
Ipsum
Glanza
Pleo
Hino
Platz
Elf
And finally, the ironic trio: the Move, the Swift, and the Vamos. Since all these cars have tiny rubber band engines, I can personally promise that the car's performances do not match their names.

 
 
So not a joke

Excellent product, January 23, 2006

I was skeptical upon first buying this product, but it works great! At one point I actually crapped myself and my girlfriend at the other end of the couch had no idea. I don't even think the dog knew I did it! Without this product I would have been terribly embarassed and my girlfriend may have left me.

 

Sh*t stains be gone too, January 25, 2006

The stench from my ass used to be appauling but now with assBgone i'm not emmbarrassed to let em rip all day long as the cushion doubles as a muffle as well. What a relief in a meeting or with friends and family. They don't even know that i'm lettimg em go full force.

And don't forget the refill...

Stupid running astronaut
 

I recently read a news item online that absolutely disgusted me.  A woman had signed up for the Boston marathon with her sister and several friends, but she ended up not being able to attend and was very disappointed.  Why couldn't she attend?  Because she was a NASA astronaut and was going to be IN SPACE that day.  Did she let that get her down?  No she did not.  She ran the marathon anyway, in real time along with everyone else, with a harness attaching her to the treadmill at the international space station.  I mean come on lady, you're a female astronaut AND a marathon runner??  Leave something for the rest of us why don't you.

The Hand that Robs the Cradle
 

I've decided to be the one who breaks the clutter's dry spell, so here goes.  Nathan got home from Alaska today with some awesome pictures (http://community.webshots.com/user/jalfano104) and like 14 new Nalgene water bottles.  Ok, actually only 2, and a replacement lid for his old one which was broken.  Now he has a total of 4, and I have 1.  I'm afraid to leave them all in the cupboard alone or we might end up with little baby nalgenes running around. 

For those who don't know, next Monday is Nathan's 25th birthday.  I always enjoy these two coming months between his birthday and mine because it's the only time I stop being a cradle robber.  He refuses to sit down long enough to think of what he wants as gifts, either for his birthday or Christmas, so he's gonna get whatever I buy and he's gonna like it. 

I'm starting to gear up for Thanksgiving this week.  It's so hard to plan a big, fancy meal for two people.  I'm thinking of inviting at least one other girl (who happens to be a vegetarian...really, what's the point of thanksgiving with no turkey?) so maybe there won't be an entire month's worth of leftovers.  Also, just fyi, I read an article the other day that said scientists have proven that while turkey does have the sleep-inducing tryptophan, it's in the wrong biological form to actually affect your body.  I see no reason why this should have any effect on our collective Thanksgiving naps. 

I've discovered the adult version of circling the toys you want in the Hills catalog (when did that stop being the best thing ever?).  Since almost everything I want is unavailable here, I've resorted to shopping my favorite websites and putting things in the cart.  That way, when Nathan asks what I want (and he'd better), I can just show him the webpage.  I've always prefered getting gifts that are truly a surprise, but I'm far happier in the long run if I just pick things out myself and allow them to be wrapped for the duration of December.  You still get the fun of seeing them under the tree and opening them up on Christmas day, but without the hidden disappointment and long waits in the returns line. 

I hope everyone out there who is able has made plans to be with their families next week.  Let me tell you, even if your family is insane, holidays without them are really dull and a lot less meaningful.  Enjoy them while you have them and be grateful that you all belong to each other, even when you wish you didn't.

$5 a Touch
 

Even though I posted all our Halloween pictures on our webshots page, and I posted that link in this post, for the lazier among you, here are the costume highlights from this past weekend.  My huge fake water balloon jugs won me second place in the costume contest, and even though I never got a full body photo of my outfit, I assure you it was funny.
