What is your major malfunction numbnuts?
So, I had to drive into the city today to deliver some PCs to a customer.
We got near the place and parked to find the correct building and such. We
found it and also found a parking spot free right in front. So I went back
to move the van, but the key wouldn't turn in the ignition. We tried
shaking the wheel and such, but to no avail. So I called my boss and he
found a garage nearby. They sent a tow truck. And while they were
coming, we unloaded the van and got some lunch. MMmmm...stromboli.
So the tow truck got there and I went with them whilst my partner in captivity
went to work on some of the computers. As we were driving to the garage,
the driver asked how I was going to pay for the tow. I had a company
credit card so I said I'd use that. He said cash only. So, he pulled
over at a bank and I ran in to use the cash machine. We got to the garage
and I paid him and kept the receipt sos my boss will pay me back. In the
garage, the guy looked at it and found out that the ignition cylinder needed
replacement. So he called around for the part and worked on the van while
I hung out in the office with a girl who barely spoke ingles. We did chat
a bit though and I found out that she had come from the Dominican Republic about
5 months ago and she's learning English so she can do accounting. After
sitting around there for 3 hours the part arrived and the van was fixed.
At least for this I was able to use the company card. So, I picked up
Todd, who had finished a few of the installs and we headed back to the Jersey.
The End. Or is it?

We have to strike now, sir! Annihilate! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!
Found this cool
Iraq War 2.0 simulator. Check it out. It's quite amusing and
seems like it's pretty accurate.
I didn't watch the stare of the union address. Well I watched about 5
minutes of it and that was enough to annoy me. If I watched the whole
thing I'd be really pissed by now.
C'mon folks. I only got 1 guess so far for yesterday's quote. I
actually offered a prize this time. Geez people.

Black as midnight, black as pitch, blacker than the foulest witch.
So, I had a busy weekend, how about you?
Friday night, I had an interesting political chat with my grandmother on the
phone. Turns out she's scared of cowboy George as much as I am.
Well, maybe not as much as I am, but hey, it was a cool chat. After that,
I ended up watching some old Tom
Cruise movie. Then I did something, then went to bed.
Saturday, whoa Saturday! Oh boy, oh boy! Yeah, so, Saturday I went
to visit my Aunt and Uncle who, as a Christmas gift, wanted to take me out to a
Mexican place to eat. We went to Mamacita's. the food was good.
the service was good, but possibly because they knew the guy. I had some
jalapeņo soup and some burritos. Yummers. Then I hung with them for
a bit and then went to Kat's to hang with her, Tom and Carnage. We ended
up going to get movies and pizza. First we watched
Double Whammy, and while it's not
about Press Your Luck, it does have Dennis Leary AND Steve Buscemi. It was
really great and funny, you should rent it now! We also watched
Goldmember, which, while funny,
was pretty much all the same stuff from the other films. It's a good rent.
After this, I headed home and crashed.
Sunday bloody Sunday I was hanging out relaxing before seeing the game with Zak,
when who should call, but Zak. Apparently, a friend of his hadn't seen The
Two Towers yet and he was going to take her to see it. So, after half a
second's hesitation, I agreed to join them. So, I droved to Zak's and we
went to go see the penultimate LOTR film. They were hungry so we stopped
to get some food. Now, maybe Tina's car (that's Zak's friend, yo) had some
crazy fumes in it because we went to Chuck E Cheeses. Well, plus it was
right next to the theater. Wow! What a horrid experience. Ok,
so it was amusing as well. there was one waitress who was helping with a
party singing and such who's face had the most bored expression this side of a
comatose cactus (I don't know what that means either, but you get the idea.)
The food took a bit and sucked, well except for mine, but you can't really screw
up mozzarella sticks. Plus, they had Mello Yello!!!! I haven't had
that since the before time, the long long ago. Anywayses, we went into the
movie and watched some stupid fat hobbits. THIEVES! They stole it
from us!!! Afterwards we went back to Zak's and he started his chili.
Oh yumzies it was! Instead of ground beef, he used cubed sirloin.
It's much better that way. We watched the game and ate chili. After
the game, Zak was sad. you see, he's a Raiders fan. Not just rooting
for the Raiders mind you, but a Raiders fan. Oh, I almost forgot, Zak's
friend, Dave was there too. he's a Bucs fan, so it was much fun.
Anyway, after the game, we channel surfed a bit and ended stopping on Trading
Spaces. Apparently I was the only person in the room who did not watch it
on a regular basis. Now I like the show, I just don't watch TV all that
much. So I eventually tore myself away and drove home through the snow and
collapsed into bed, Ok after the chili, I used the facilities (aka took a
whopping CRAP) and then went to bed.
Ok, here's a bit of a contest:
Guess which world leader said this about a website that criticized them:
There ought to be limits to freedom.
OK, so it's an easy one, but hey,
email me your answer and I just might give you a coupon good for 15% off at
the Sizzler in Rockaway. Then again, I might not. I'm whimsical like
that.
OH!!! Baker gets all the cool points for finding the manual for my answering machine THE VERY NEXT DAY! Not that I have a lot of cool points to give, but hey Stephen, you can have them all.
Don't forget, if your going to see MvM on Feb 8 or to Contempt on Feb 16 we can, like, carpool or something. Hopefully Contempt will have the flyer up soon, so that their page actually announces the event.
Crap! I almost forgot the pic of the week! For shame! So without further adieu, here's the guy with all the cool points.

Hey Malkovich, think fast!
So, here's a summary of my week thus far:
YMIR'S ICY BREATH IT IS
COLD!!!!
Today's high was 19 degrees. HIGH. Tomorrow, the temperature will
max out at about 14. Damn. OK, enough ranting about that.
So, Li suggested that since I have nothing to do for Valentine's Day, that I
drive around and throw eggs at couples. Yeah, she's a sweetie. But I
kindly reminded her that eggs cost money, of which I have none to spare on such
wasteful activities. So she suggested rocks as a substitute.
I've started reading Stupid White Men by Michael Moore. It's a look at our
current sate of affairs here in the US. It's very amusing, and yet at the
same time, quite frightening. Then again, I'm a bit of a paranoid type.
YAY! On Sunday Feb 16th there will be a Contempt at Filter 14! Same place the last one that none of you went to was. The next day is Presidents Day, so you should all have off.
Stupid me forgot one of the reason's for doing this update. We had two, count em, 2 power outages yesterday, brief, but annoying none the less. So I had to put a new message on my answering machine. Go listen to the old 'hello. I still have no idea how to change the time on that infernal gizmo. Anyone out there who can get me a manual for a GE model 2-9868A digital answering machine gets major cool points in my book.

It's me!
Prove it!
You're a dick.
Okay.
The X-men are
officially not human.

Shining lights

Rabid dog
Can of mace
He's from New Jersey
Ok, so Friday, I had to work in the city, so afterwards I went and hung with
Li. We went to the Old Devil Moon for some dinner. I got chicken and
sausage jambalaya. And for dessert, I got an apple raspberry cobbler.
It was all very good. They also had Boylan Soda. YUM! After
that, she and I hung out and watched Michael Moore's
Awful Truth. It was highly
entertaining. Especially the Sodomobile. Where he took several gay
and lesbian people and put them in a pink mobile home and drove through
different states where sodomy is illegal. I highly recommend it. The
show that is, not necessarily the Sodomobile. After this I watched half of
an iron chef, then took off. I hit the L train and didn't have to wait to
long then approached the PATH station just as the train I needed arrived. It was
the last of the direct trains to where I parked. If I miss it, I would had
to sit there for about half an hour then taken the train to Hoboken, then to
Harrison. I put my money in the machine and of course it spit it out. I
tried again and it took it. I grabbed my change and jumped through the
doors just as they closed. Some people applauded my maneuver. And I
thought it was cool. What does that say about my life? I got back to
my car and drove home. Then sleepy-bye.
Saturday, was a mostly nothing day. Kinda lounged around. Ended up
watching John Doe and
Minority Report. That
pretty much sums it up.
Sunday I went to JP Lee's to have Mongolian
Grill with Tom and Jack. it was good and I hadn't been there in a while,
so I was happy. Then came back here and hung out. That's all.
Hey, you all. Me vs Machine is playing at the Batcave on Saturday Feb 8. Anyone interested in joining me, send me a woohoo.
And here, for your viewing pleasure this week, is the hottest chick ever!

Welcome to homesatrrunner.net. 'It's dot com!'
For some reason about an hour ago, I was thinking of many things to say one
here. Now I got nothing. Well, nigh nothing.
First, here's Dubbya's
stance on North Korea's nuclear proliferation.
Second, an announcement
Anathema Device will NOT be playing in Clifton on Feb 1st. Sorry to waste
all your excuses, but at least now you don't have to think of any for next time.
Everyone, come to the city tomorrow! Li n I will most likely get dinner
somewhere and do some hanging out and such. Join the fun!

I'm not sure how I started getting emails from here, but I hope you all
check it out.

This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass!
So those crazy Russians have a problem with
The Big Lebowski
And I've forgotten to post the link to Stephen's first
animated flick.
No, not Bizzaker, though he does animation too, this is James's old roommate
from China.
Um, that's it for now, unless you have
anything
to add?

Kiss Rocks? Why would anyone want to kiss... Oh wait, I get it.
Another weekend, another update. I did realize that I forgot to link
to my Journey to the Isle of Long page. I did get it
in last week, but since my cable modem crashed I couldn't save it and forgot it
in the rewrite. So enjoy.
My weekend consisted mostly of watching season 3 of
Buffy. Managed to finish it
tonight. Tricia was nice enough to correct name spellings for the big
moving day so go check those out if you really care about such things.
Saturday night Chefjeff cooked a superb meal for us. Us including Rosie,
Timotheus, James, Tricia, Cathy, Chris M, and Sean. The food was great.
He has a pork dish that was cooked and an apple and raisin sauce that I loved,
which is good because I'm not overly fond of pork. Much compliments
Chefjeff.
Ok, if your name is Timotheus or you know him, you should look at
this.
Bush explains why we must go to war with Iraq
here.
This just in from Carnage:
All your base are
belong to us.
Well was a slow weekend....that's all. Well except for this weeks
pic of the week. A trip down memory lane. Enjoy!

I'm a mental patient, I'm supposed to act out!
Update take 2! I tried to update the page last night, but my cable
modem kept cutting out on me. Luckily it waited until I uploaded
everything and was just updating my main page.
So, apparently I forgot to mention the Chefjeff and Rosie aided in the moving of
Tricia and Cathy last weekend. this info was brought to my attention by an
anonymous source.
So, Monday I had to work at a customer in the city. After work, I met up
with Li and drove her back to NJ. She decided to repay me by treating me
to dinner, so we met up with Timotheus, Tricia and Cathy at El Coyote.
Yum! Then Li and I returned to my apt and watched
Meet the Feebles with Carnage.
It was an interesting movie. Like the Muppets on crack. Hell, it
even had a M60 wielding hippo. After the movie I dropped Li off at her
parents and returned to go to sleep. You can see picks of T&C's move and
me waiting for Li to get off of work here.
On Wed, new years eve, I kinda putzed around all morning until about 1:10 when I
realized that I was meeting Li for lunch. So, in a blaze of speed, I took
a shower ran out the door, stopped at a MAC machine and drove to The Clay Oven.
There Li and her friend Lisa were waiting for me. We had a yummylicious
lunch, then Li and Lisa went shopping and I returned to do laundry, oh how
exciting I am. That evening, I picked up Li and we went to Timotheus' for
the New Years party. Food was done by Cheffjeff. Later I had to run
and pick up Giner because Sean wasn't feeling well and would come later and due
to an unfortunate accident she does not have a care <gasp>. Many people
showed up and much fun was had. You can see the pics I took
here.
After the midnight toast and the party was winding down, we watched Monster
Garage. It's a neat show where guys have a budget and they need to
transform a vehicle into something else, but it still needs to look like the
original as it drives around. For example, the one episode had a limo that
turned into a fire truck. I guess you have to see it.
On new years day, I did mostly nothing all day, but in the evening, I went to my
aunt's house for make-up Christmas. This is the thing we normally do on
Christmas when there isn't tons of snow falling from the sky. You can see
those festivities
here.
The rest of the week was uneventful. I kept this weekend nice and quiet.
Though Saturday night, ROSS and Giner came over and we watched
Ring. Which is the Japanese
movie that The Ring was based off
of. It was very similar to the new version and some scenes were
almost identical. I did think that The Ring was much scarier though, plus
Ring was subtitled and some of the subtitles were lost when they went over white
objects on the screen. And there was one amusing moment where Giner got
startled and made an odd noise. Then ROSS tried to leave but it took him
almost an hour because he had parked on ice. I lent him my shovel and
would've helped more if I hadn't changed into my pajamas before I knew he was
stuck. I really don't remember doing much on Sunday other than trying to
do this update and failing because my modem cut out. Well, that's all for
now kiddies.
In other notes, look to my links so you can see Cheffjeff's website.
And what with me watching season 1 of B5 and the holidays and all, this weeks pic asks, "What do you want?"
