Well after dealing with the cluster of fubars at the dealership, I got my car back today. I dropped it off this last Wednesday to fix the damange done on my Friday the 13th episode, and was told it would of been ready Friday afternoon. Anyhow, I decided not to get a rental cause I wanted to see how much my life was dependent on wheels. Well as I found out, having one is a requirement for me. Fortunately, I was able to bum a ride to and from work, but when I got home, it felt like I always needed to go elsewhere. Sad to say, having a car is a requirement for my normal life. I'm just glad I got it back.
Well I'm off. I have multiple errands to run...
Well, I sorta do...
As a kid, nothing scared me more (other than clowns), was the creature from Alien. Perhaps, I was too young to when I saw the first Alien movie. While clowns still creep me out, I overcame the Alien phobia and the second movie, Aliens, is one of my all time favorite flics. I still think the Alien creature is bad ass, and this life size statue would make a great watch dog while I'm out -
I stumbled onto this article from Time Magazine - How to Live With Just 100 Things (via neatorama) and I'm wondering if I can pull it off. Here are the rules to the 100 Thing Challenge. Now here's the key...you can limit the number of items that are "personal". So if you are sharing a place with someone else (family/significant other/friend/etc.), then then you can exclude the common items used by everyone such as furniture, plates, major appliances, etc. Seeing how I live by myself, I'm not sure if I want to bend the rules on this. There's no mass public transportation where I live, so I need my car to go to work, groceries, and what not. I guess I could call a taxi, so that's a maybe.
Anyhow, I'm going to keep this a theoretical model for the time being. I'm curios on the number of items I truly have. Heck, I probably have close to 100 items in the tech world alone. I have 4 digital cameras, which all are used at least once a year. I guess that I would have to count all the accessories for them as well and when you add up the lenses, filters, batteries, chargers, memory cards, and cases, that would take up about 50 slots. Hmm...I have three MP3 players - my 80 gig Ipod, which has most of my music on it, plus some videos and pics, a small creative mp3 for when I exercise or do something outdoors and a 30 gig Zune that I keep at work. I have two computers (a desktop and a notebook), three external hard drives (I have a system for that). Now looking to my left, I see about 60 some books on my book case, which about 40% I've read (I'm a sucker when it comes to finding used books). And I haven't even begun with my clothes. So....creating my model will take some work. I'll probably work out a list of my list some time this week. Stay tuned...
p.s. - I would love to see what everyone would choose as their 100 personal items.
Like the author of this post on Neatorama, I also spent way too much time messing around creating my crest.

Stealing this from Boing Boing...
Ok...these two products are RIDICULOUS!!!!!
Number one, The Coffin Sofa (Coffin sofa brings creepy furniture to new extremes)
Somewhat unique and cool (in a goth way), a couch made from a coffin. The ick part....ITS FROM A USED COFFIN! It's even package with bio hazard warnings "...since dead bodies in coffins are considered to be biohazard tissue." I'm not even sure how this is legal.
Number two has to be one of the most ridiculous Hello Kitty Products out there - The Hello Kittly Douche
I'm stealing this quote, "you know it has to be a outstanding douce, cause you know Hello Kitty won't put it's name on any douche". All I can say is WOW!
I'm a spending fool!!! After a couple months of holding off...I've spent most of my tax return. Am I dumb? Probably, but with the gas prices as they are, I'm not looking at doing a lot of traveling...sticking with day trips. Fortunately, most of the goodies I bought will fill in the gaps. I would like to go check out DC this summer, but who knows....
Well, I tried this last week, and had the day wrong, as well as the titles. Thanks Sarah for showing me the light...
Love
- Cooking on the grill - why does it taste so much better this way?
- Vacation - Took a 1/2 day on Friday and took today off to stretch my three day weekend.
- Home made bread - Mom made some for the cook out. As always, it rocked.
- Premium vanilla bean ice cream - so simple, yet so tasty.
- Fires (those that you make) - My friend needed to cut down some dead trees in his yard. Had a quasi bon-fire later that night. It's great to practice your manly skills.
Lothe
- Shaving - if I could grow a decent beard, I would.
- Throwing away stuff that I should recycle - doing mass cleanup and being lazy about sorting out what I should recycle.
- My weight - while I'm not grossly overweight, I have more of the six pack abs than the six minute abs.
- Excess packing material - I order a lot off the web. I almost have a 13 gallon bag full of the stupid styrofoam popcorn. I don't want to dump it. Is there a place that will take this stuff?
- Allergies - they're kicking my a##.
