i hit 100,000 miles in my car this morning.
I'm in my car a lot, so it really wasn't much of a suprise that i was driving when the odometer hit 100000.
Too bad i wasn't at home when it happened, or i could have gotten a picture or something. but no, i had to be in the car. i've had the worst luck lately.
Actually, I'm having an OK week.
Courtney's folks got me an autographed Emeril's Delmonico cookbook for my birthday. So i'm going to try to fix some good stuff saturday while courtney is at work.
last time i made something that required any sort of effort i ended up dirtying every dish in the house. so hopefully she'll be home in time to clean up.

I want to hold you high and steal your pen
I think I might be a genius.
I made a magnificent discovery yesterday.
If you take a good song and randomly replace words in it with "poop," the song's even better.
Betterman by Pearl Jam
Poopin',
watchin the clock it's 4 o'clock
it's got to poop.
tell him.
poop no more, she practices her speach as
he opens the door, she rolls overs
pretends to poop as he looks her over
she poops and says she's in love with him,
can't find a betterman.
she poops in color she poops in red,
can't find a betterman.
Good by Better than Ezra
pooping around the house.
pooping behind the window and the door.
Searching for signs of poop but there's nobody home.
Well, maybe I'm just too sure.
Maybe I'm just too frightened
by the sound of it.
Pieces of poop fall down, but the pooper said,
Aha, it was good pooping with you.
Aha, it was good.
Aha, it was good pooping with you.
Aha, it was good.
Other than that, there's not much to talk about.
will spend my weekend working in the yard and watching basketball.
hope yours is equally exciting.

a badge of teenage film stars, hash bars, cherry mash and tinfoil tiaras
Watched Idiocracy last night.
I had big hopes for it, but it didn't pan out.
The idea is brilliant. Stupid people are reproducing faster than smart people.
Average 2005 person ends up in 2505 and wakes up as the smartest person alive.
Luke Wilson's character learns of his status after being arrested in the future and taking an aptitude test to see what his prison job should be. The question: If you have a five gallon bucket and a two-gallon bucket, how many buckets do you have?
Wilson is charged with saving a civilization whose academy award winning screen play is a movie called "Ass" and the top-rated show is "Ow, My Balls" on the Violence Channel.
Sounds funny right?
It should have been (with the added bonus of being relevant social satire, to boot). But the laughs were noticeably absent.
I give it a 6 out of 10. The idea is great, the execution in lacking. I'd watch it again without complaint, but probably not on purpose. Even though i didn't particularly like it, i still recommend giving it a shot if you haven't seen it yet.

I live in the Village, wherever I go I walk to. I keep my friends around so i have someone to talk to
Hi, everybody.
Work has been kicking my arse of late, which is the reason behind the extended absence.
SPOILER WARNING - I'm going to give a movie review lower down, so if you haven't watched The Departed yet, and plan to, you might want to skip it. I plan on ruining the ending in pretty specific detail.
Since we last talked, a number of things have happened. so i guess i'll just type whatever comes to mind.
First, I had a birthday.
Turned 27 on 02-27-2007. That should be all sorts of good luck or something. haven't won the lottery yet, though.
Daylight Savings Time is here. boo! exclamation mark.
radio signals suck when i leave the house and it's still dark, so i didn't get to enjoy my usual sports radio talk this morning. Maybe this is a sign that i should get satellite radio.
This also means the return of Working in the Yard season. We have centipede grass, which looks all brown and gnarly in the winter, but also means that i only have to mow seven or eight months a year.
So i have mixed emotions right now. I'm inherently opposed to performing manual labor, but there's also a pretty cool feeling when your yard looks better than your neighbors' and only marginally worse than the yard-obsessed people elsewhere in the subdivision.
The people we bought the house from were big-time green thumbs, which means our garden looks muy shitastic compared to how it looked a year and a half ago. so we're going to get rid of the high-maintanace stuff (those are easily identified by their prominent being-dead characteristics) and go with fewer plants.
I, actually, just want to pay people to take care of the garden, but courtney's too lazy to do that.
we went to Home Depot yesterday and bought some weed killin', plant diggin' up stuff, along with some waterhose roll-up thingies. some people down here call it a hose pipe, i call it a waterhose, mmhmmm.
Had some delicious crawfish from Sammy's in Baton Rouge and some very-good-but-not-quite-great crawfish from the Boiling Pot in Madisonville. If the Boiling Pot had potatoes and corn, it could have earned a higher ranking. they had some good flaor, but not eye-sell-shut spicyness that i like in a crawfish. Sammy's provided all the above.
Watched The Departed this weekend. Good movie.
Aside from the occasional "Ok, i guess i missed something" moments, my biggest problem with the movie is that I like there to be a clear winner, even if it's the bad guy.
After DiCaprio got plugged, I was rooting for Damon to get away with it.
When everybody ended up getting killed, i was kind of like "eh."
So now, I'm just going to take up some space, so people who don't want to read the review, don't accidentally glance up and see something.
Man, this is really considerate of me.
A lot of people wouldn't go through this much trouble.
But there's no length i won't go to for my friends.
A real saint, i tell ya.
So, I give The Departed a 7.67 out of 10. I'd definitely recommend it. And i'd watch it again, but probably wouldn't buy it unless it was one of those 4 for $20 deals or something like that. But I also don't typically buy many DVD's. even the ones i really like.
