I was driving this truck today. It has so much power! I floored it a few times and the RPMs got high, along with the speed. It even has a cool beeping sound when you put it in reverse.
First Day of Winter
Today was the first day of winter. It’s also the longest night of the year! It was a frigid windy 66F. That’s 19C for you Canadian folk.

I love textbook buybacks! I got $136 total for my books. I’ve got to GO TO THE BANK soon.

Cordless Phones
I had bought a new cordless phone on Saturday at Office Depot because it was a 5.8ghz model, and it was on sale. I used to have a two line cordless 900mhz phone, but it’s four years old, we have only one line now, and it just sucks. So I was thinking, hmm, 5.8ghz, won’t interfere with the 2.4ghz wireless network. Wrong. Stupid VTECH uses a hybrid 2.4/5.8ghz technology. In actuality, it still uses the 2.4ghz bands! How STUPID! I returned the phone promptly on Sunday because it sucked.
After that, I went to Best Buy to buy I, Robot. That’s such a good movie! CompUSA had I, Robot on sale for $14.99 on Sunday only and Best Buy didn’t. I didn’t want to drive the half-mile with heavy Sunday shopping traffic to go to CompUSA to pick it up, so I just went next door to the Best Buy instead. Not only does Best Buy pricematch, they give me 10% of the difference. Sure, I could have gone to CompUSA and possibly avoided a lengthy wait at the checkout, but I just wanted to screw Best Buy out of profits, so I bought it there and got the difference. So I actually got the DVD cheaper than CompUSA because of the 10% pricematch policy. I haven’t purchased so many DVD’s in one year, ever! Man on Fire, The Day After Tomorrow, The Matrix Reloaded, I, Robot, and a bunch more I can’t remember.
Today, I went on to Amazon and found a good DUAL 5.8ghz transmission phone. It just happened that all those are manufactured by Uniden. I bought it because of the good price. Albeit not as good as the Office Depot price, but at least I know this phone won’t be a piece of crap like that VTECH one. I’m NEVER going to buy another VTECH phone again! They lost me as a customer forever!

Shock Treatment
I was working at the house that I’m remodeling today. I had to put all the light switch and outlet covers back on their right places. The stupid painters painted a bunch of the outlets so I used a screwdriver to scrape off the paint. The screwdriver ALMOST breached into the outlet entrance! THEN I realized that I should have turned the power off before I started, so I did. Everything else went off without a hitch.

TV
I finally found my favorite TV commercial. It’s an AOL spoof from NetZero. View the original commercial here.

School is Over
Finally! School is out for the Christmas break. Three weeks of doing nothing. The highlight of my entire break is getting my wisdom teeth pulled out, admiring my new bank account balance after paying off the credit card, and not going to New York for the new year.

Stupid Car Alarm
I was awaken this morning at 1:55am by somebody’s stupid car alarm going off and on for ten minutes. It would turn on, then off, then on or so every 20 seconds. I hope the car got stolen.

Lunch
Today, I went to In-N-Out Burger and had a double meat animal style burger. It was good. I sat outside and there were tons of black birds that wanted to eat the fries I got. I threw a very small piece of fry at them, and a dozen or so birds dove for the food. I threw some lettuce from the sandwich and they didn’t do anything. Not even a small movement. If you move your arm like you’re throwing something, all the birds’ heads move. It’s an awesome sight. Oh well… Until the next time…

On A Recent Trip
On a recent trip, I went to San Francisco. Apparently somebody threw diamonds* out of a building, causing the whole street to be closed…
