So I pikced up the Smashing Pumpkins' Greatest Hits CD today. Now, I admit that I've bashed Billy Corgan as much as anyone, and I do still think he's a tool, but, damn, driving down the road after I bought it, pumping the song "Rhinoceros," that was a true RAWK moment.

Oh, I bought a new car today too. That's my other purchase of the...

I don't really listen to them much anymore, but playing the bass parts on Siamese Dream ("Rocket," "Today," "Cherub Rock") was a lot of funn for the few months I owned a bass five years ago. I guess I got rid of it after listening to Chris Squire a lot. I realized I was much more of a early-D'arcy than a prog-rock champ. At least I picked up "The Bomber" by The James Gang relatively easy.

(fyi- your Journal is triple-posted, dunno if you noticed wink )

While he is a tool his music has indeed rawked.

Riding on my bicycle/I saw a motorcrash...

Unfortunately, I was the one in the car.

I was driving back to my office from work. It was a nice afternoon. I was listening to music on the radio, feeling pretty good. I approached an intersection, one I go through 2 or 3 times a day. The light was green. I moved on.

At the same time,...

Jesus. eeek

Almost exactly a year ago, I was in an ugly accident. It wasn't nearly as bad as yours, and I was the only person involved (fell asleep at the wheel and hit a concrete retainer wall). The part where you were describing the accident in slow motion sounded way too familiar, though.

I'm glad it sounds like you're okay. That's all sorts of fucked up.

I guess my problems today, those of the "car not moving" variety, aren't so bad, maybe.

Here follows the sad story of my attempt to change my router.

So I ordered a new 802.11g wireless router. I got it, and I tried to install it last night. That seemed to go OK, and I was on the net fine, and all seemed well. That is, until I tried to get on a few websites, and they wouldn't load. (Most disturbingly, SG...

that blows. I usually have problems with Linksys and not Netgear.

I had an experience with a computer company that also moved their support to India, and one call I had no idea what they were saying to me. I was trying really hard to listen too.

I heard the following phrase while I was out today. I swear I am quoting this verbatim:

"You're acting like you don't remember the enema."

The speaker was a woman who appeared to be around 40 to a man roughly the same age, perhaps a bit older.

I would say that I would like to know the full significance and context of that line, but...

So I saw my first context-based ad on my new Gmail account (courtesy of Sadistic_Bastard -- once again, thank you very much.) If you'll recall, Gmail was attacked for an "invasion of privacy" because they said they'd scan the content of emails to put ads on the side.

So here's what it is: I'm having an email exchange with some friends about a cookout. In...

Oh how we danced, with the Rose of Tralee, her long hair black as the raven. Oh how we danced, and you whispered to me, "you'll never be going back home"....

A guy walks into a bar. He starts drinking more and more, and soon he's very drunk. He gets so drunk that, soon, he pukes all over his suit, which makes him start to wail and moan. "My wife's gonna kill me!" he wails to the bartender. "This is my best suit!"

"OK, here's what you do. Do you have a $20 bill?" the bartender...

guy walks into a bar, sits down and proceeds to be an asshole:

"hey barmaid! bring me a fuckin 12 year old scotch and put the rush on it! and i don't want any shit from you, bitch!"

the bartender, thinks this is rude, so he pours the guy a cheap blended scotch. the guy takes a sip, spits it in the barkeep's face and throw the glass across the bar.

" i said i wanted a 12 yr old scotch and you bring me this shite! fuck you and bring me a 12 yr old scotch, you retard!"

bertender thinks, 'lucky guess," and pours the guy a fine 8 yr old single malt. again, the dude takes a sip and freaks out.

"what the fuck kind of retarded dog did you fall out of? did i say 8 yr old, asshole? i said 12 YEARS OLD, YOU FUCKING CUNT!!!

the bartender gives in, reaches under the bar and pours the guy a glass of their finest 12 yr old scotch. the guy takes a sip, leans back, and calms down.

a bum at the end of the bar has been watching in amazement the whole time. he pulls a flask out of his back pocket and scoots over next to the guy.

"here, buddy, why don't you give this a try?"

the guy takes one swig and spits it out.

"this tastes like fucking PISS!"

the bum says, "it is! how old am i?"


ba-dump-psshhhh to you too.

So, today, I went to Big Lots, which is this store here which just sells a lot of shit other stores couldn't sell. And I found a product which I just had to buy...electric scissors.

Fuck yeah. I won't be the one missing the Evanescence concert because I had to cut that recipe for Apple Brown Betty out of the paper.

(Note: if you don't...

So here is my Bad Driving Experience of the day: I was driving down one of the main highways in my city, going home. I was behind a pick-up truck, a fairly old one in pretty bad shape. There were three guys in it: the driver and the passenger farthest to the right looked to be about 40 or so, and the passenger in the...

Dis is an old Journal! I guess I have no right to criticize after my debacle-Journal yesterday (I could hindsight-edit, but that'd be dishonest).
