So this morning, at about 8:45 or so, I got a wrong number call on my cell phone from the same bitch who's called me the wrong time several times. And here's how it goes:
Me: Hello?
Wrong Number Bitch (hereafter abbreviated WNB): Hello.
Me: Who is this?
WNB: (somewhat testily) Who is *this*?
Me: You have the wrong number.
WNB: (very testily) Yeah. (Hangs...

Hah, I didn't even know there was a *67... 
I am very glad to be home now, because I wasn't sure I'd make it here, after the drive I just had.
So I decided to go get some takeout for dinner. I see a storm is moving in, but I think that I can make it, because the place I'm going is barely two miles away. I beat the storm there, but when I...

I'd have to advise not driving in a heavy rain with no driver-wiper. Best to wait at least for a rain slow-down... I guess you already know that...

Days like this make me glad I actually work days and I miss daytime TV.
Here is what is before me now: Jerry Springer is on. The topic is "You can't tear me apart." This hillbilly woman came out talking about how her husband has left her for another woman. This made me wonder: this is too standard-issue for Springer. So I knew something had...

I just have to append this comment from the husband after he came out: "It took half a woman to make a whole man out of me!"

So this morning, at about six a.m., my sweet kitty turned into Super Demon Hellcat.
Here's what happened: I was awakened by this really loud, awful moaning. It sounded more like a sound a dog might make, really. I walked towards it and found my cat standing in front of the sliding glass door to the patio, in full attack stance. On the other side,...

Seriously, though, how often do you get to use the word "anthropomorphize", anyway?

So I'm ridding myself of my DSL line, going to replace it with a cable modem, which is way faster and cheaper.
Unfortunately for me, I have to pay $50 to disconnect it. I protested, they sent me a copy of the form I submitted to order where it says in big letters "$50 disconnect fee", so I'm kind of stuck.
My recommendation for anyone...

I had to get DSL when I moved into the city... they just don't offer cable modems here. So I had to get a phone line, just for the DSL. I never use the landline, just my cell phone, yet I'm paying $30 a month for the landline and then $45 for the DSL. My cable modem service was $30 a month. This is ridiculous.
jake_lex:
Update on the cable modem: I called the cable company to set it up. Adding the cable modem charge, my cable bill now will be $20 a month less than my combined cable and DSL bills were.
But I'm stuck on damn dialup until then

I just saw the ultimate sign that this country is going to hell.
Passing by McDonald's, I saw a sign advertising their new sandwich.
A DOUBLE Big Mac.
As if the first one wasn't making peoples' asses big enough as it is.

Last time I was in Texas (1999? 2000?) we went through a McDonalds and there was actually a size ABOVE "supersize." "TexasSize!" You could actually get a BIGGER order than a supersize.
Ewwwww.

The funny thing about having a job is how, even if you don't really like it, you live in terror of losing it. I am being reminded of this situation very clearly these days.

Thanks for swinging by my page! Heh..
I'm posting this journal entry just as a favor to Olivia.
That's why it's not funny, thought-provoking, or even interesting, really.
It's just here.

was that an empty threat...that you'd be putting up more pictures...hmmm?
jake_lex:
I have to find pictures I want to put up. I might end up having someone take more of me (no naked ones, not yet; I'm not SB material. 
)
Of course, too, I'll need to work on my Photoshop skills to get the pictures to look OK.

So I just watched this documentary on Cambodia, and the rise of the Khmer Rouge.
Basically, here's what happened: the United States decided that the government of Cambodia needed to go, because it was supporting people they didnt' like (in this case, the Viet Cong). So they engineered a coup and overthrew them, replacing that government with one more in line with the United States'...

Yeah, I learned a fair bit about that from Swimming to Cambodia. I have to say, I found StC to be even more elucidating and sad than The Killing Fields, with the bonus of being funny at times too...I should prob rewatch both films soon.
Afghanistan and Iraq are sooooo unstable now....

My dreams are quite clear, so it's easy to remember them. Having an active part in them adds to that ease.
I hope my cats never get this lazy: despite the fact that there are 3 cats who live in my mother's house, a rat was running around freely in there. The rat even ate some of their food, and shat in their litter box, in probably the most brazen display of sheer contempt any member of the rodent family has shown for members of the...

Funny, I was watching Y Tu Mama Tambien this afternoon then went to look at your profile...
I liked it okay....ending kinda made me boohooey.
That rat is way too, that is just...what a dicky rat. Ahh, I suppose I wouldn't a killed him either, but damn what a dick rat. But you know, the cats were kinda ridiculous too. They were enabling.
Run Lola Run's good...but I might like The Princess & the Warrior more. They are pretty different. Heaven was good too; Tykwer at 3-for-3 in my book.

Earth first? No joke. thats wierd - the fictional monkeywrench gang weren't political - they were outlaws. Thats a key difference.
thanks for pointing that out. i was hitchhicking and traded a crappy Tom Clancy for it way, way back in the day. I eventually traded it for a copy of Chineese Astrology for Beginners
you need to get your mom's cats on a regimine. the litter box thing . . . now that's classic disrespect. Like saying "I'm more rodant than you can handle and more feline than you'll ever be."
btw, way to be on coltrane and bowie.
take it light,

This story amuses me. Bernie Ebbers, former CEO of the ultra-sleazy WorldCom, missed a $25 MILLION payment on a loan that they'd made to him and is now in default.
I wonder if they'll try to go after that money as hard as they went after the $90 they said I owed that I didn't (the ass-monkeys credited a $100 check I wrote them as...

My moment of paranoia for the day:
I was in the parking lot of a shopping center, going to get some Chinese takeout (mmmmmm sesame chicken). There was a guy standing in the parking lot, and I noticed he had a camera. Then I noticed he seemed to be pointing it at me. So I wondered "Is he taking my picture? And, if so, why?"...
