HG was absolutely right. Craigslist missed connections is the best. I probably spent good 15 minutes reading through some of the posts. Makes me want to post one. I'll have to think of something clever. And not get flagged.
The best one I ready today came from NYC titled "Looking for deformed creature I saw on Subway". Are most of these for real? And do people really go here to see if someone's looking for them?
HG - have you found one for you yet? Perhaps from the man who wanted your boyfriend's umbrella?

Painful Addiction
Today, I will talk about my painful addiction. Love. HAHAHAHA, I'm just kidding. As Homer would say, I kill me (from the "The Springfield Files" episode).
Anyway, I'm going to write about bikini wax! Brazilian bikini wax at that. Why? Because I'm about the only person I know who would write about such things. This is why I'm going to die a (born again) virgin. Well, who knows, maybe some person will will benefit from reading this blog post. :) You never know!
So I don't know when this addiction started. A few months ago. I go to Bellanina in Kerrytown. There's a Hungarian esthetician there and she is the best. To all you ladies and dudes out there who is considering doing this at home, DON'T DO IT! (DO NOT WANT!)
During my last visit, my esthetician told me nightmare stories. She said this one lady tried to do it at home, and ended up getting 7 stitches! She also witnessed a botched waxing job during a demo at some conference on a man's scrotum and he needed 8 stitches... She explained to me that you must use hard wax for super sensitive areas. Most kits only come with soft wax.
Anyway, I recommend going to a professional to get these things done. But I warn you, they're addictive! I don't even know why! Sure it hurts a little, but totally worth it.
This concludes yet another worthless post by yours truly. :)

Heart-Thinking vs. Head-Thinking
You hear it all the time. You see it on TV and movies. Heart-Thinking over Head-Thinking. As a pseudo-scientist, I know that's just a bunch of bull. All thinking is done by the BRAIN.
So, to you pharmaceutical scientists, I think you'd be rich as hell if you can invent a drug to control feelings. I think it's the key to world peace! I mean if you can control anger, sadness, jealousy, etc., the world would be a better place!
Get to work, young scientists.

Stoopid Life.
So those of you who know me, you know that I like to read my daily horoscope that iGoogle feeds me. (Well, I chose it to feed me this poison every day). Here's what mine says today:
Okay. So I'm hoping tomorrow, they're going to tell me what my frickin' dreams are. Because I haven't figured that out yet. Can my dreams in life be figuring out what my real dreams are in life???
With all that said, I don't really believe in these horoscopes. I just like to make a big deal out of them, as well as messages on fortune cookies. What can I say, they're entertaining!
PS - Dear horoscope writers, you shouldn't encourage people to do something drastic like "go after what you really want" because chances are, if they're crazy or stupid enough to really follow your "horoscope", that kind of advise can lead to those people really fucking things up... You know. And that would suck.
It isn't easy to contain yourself today, for you are dreaming about the endless possibilities of what you could accomplish in your life. Sometimes it's hard to set your mind to do anything about your dreams, for you believe that your hard work will be wasted if your goals aren't realistic enough. Now, however, your efforts will be rewarded. It's time to go after what you really want.

QOTD
Quote of the Day...
Yesterday, someone actually said this to me.
* Later, he said "making you happy" should be substituted by "improving the quality of your life".
Some of you can probably guess who said this...

This past weekend, I got something installed in my car for the first time. Well, this car anyway. I decided to hardwire my Passport Escort 8500 so that annoying cord won't be dangling from my windshield every time I decide to use the thing. I got this work done for $29.99 by at BestBuy where I was greeted by this "Come In, We're Open" sign...
Which was located in an obscure place INSIDE the installation bay.
I am the lousiest engineering degree holder ever. I have never taken any part of my car apart. So I got excited and took a picture when parts of the console were taken out. (Yes, I was escorted by an installer for my safety to my car.) Here's a picture of the console and the trusty installer.
Here is where the radar detector now semi-permanently resides.
No speeding ticket yet! Keep your fingers crossed. :)

"Wider in the Back"
At this moment, I have nothing interesting to write about that is going on in my own life. So, today I will show you a picture of my friend, JK's car.
I was actually going to write about this, but then I realized that I know nothing about his car. Except that it's some sort of a Cobra, and he got new wheels. The car is noisy and fast. Not recommended for leisurely sipping on lattes while he is driving.
So he just got brand new wheels and tires. I've never purchased wheels in my life. I mean I've replaced tires but not wheels... So I asked him what was wrong with his old ones and the answer I got was "nothing, I just wanted to go wider in the back". Wow. That is a comment you can only get from a car enthusiast.
I tried to visualize what my car would look like with different wheels. So I went to "Wheel Visualizer" and tried to take screen shots but it kept crashing my computer (shh, don't tell the sys admins) so no picture for me to post. :( But it was pretty funny to see spinners and 20" wheels on my car.

Miracle on Madison Street
I FINALLY HAVE A WORKING CABLE BOX!!!
Complete with DVR that works and everything. I can now go back to my exciting life of coming back from work and laying on the futon watching stoopid tv until it's time to go to sleep.
I think Comcast actually gave me a brand new box. The lady went to the back office and got this box instead of going to the cabinet they usually get the boxes from. And it had (well, still has) the protective static cling film. What's funny (to me) is that no where on the box does it say "Comcast" any more. It just says "interactive digital communications". I hope the guy who was behind me in line at Comcast had good luck too. The poor guy told me that he's returning his second box.
Back to watching moar tv. Laterz.

It's Not Over
Turdette has an update.
The Comcast box IS busted.
So no TV for me tonight. Maybe I'll read a book or something. If I remember how to read...
Stay tuned...

I have a new nickname for myself: turdette.
So it turns out the Comcast box was not broken (yet). It seems that it was my (cheap) tard coax cable that was causing the problem. VN went behind the cable box and jiggled some wires around and bam. It was fixed.
Turdette. That is my new nickname.
The end.

Comcast BLOWS
That is the picture I was getting on my TV earlier. Now I'm just not getting any. No that is not a black band going across the TV due to the refresh rate of the TV. That is the actual picture on the TV due to poor signal I am getting or something of that nature...
On Friday, the DVR feature on my Comcast DCT 3416 stopped working. I think the hard drive broke. Fine. So I went and exchanged the box for another one today.
After spending 2 hours of doing what I usually do every time I get a new device from Comcast (plug it in CORRECTLY, activate, wait 10 minutes, reboot the box because it didn't work, repeat several time on my own, then a few more times with Comcast tech support on the phone), the answer I got from the Comcast tech support is that I got another faulty device. So I have to go back and get another box tomorrow. The alternative is to schedule an appointment for the technician to come out. We know what happens. They don't show up when they're supposed to, and they do the same thing you could have done on your own except you just missed hours of work. Bump that.
I hate Comcast.

everyday lunch @ everyday cook
I've been in a slump lately and haven't had much to write about on my blog. So I'll just talk about my lunch.
I went to lunch with SC today to Kerrytown. We walked around and ended up at everyday cook. I ordered a mushroom & wine risotto. The portion was small but you get a free drink. My lunch was $10.50 and I left a satisfied customer. We sat at the counter and talked to Chef Chewy.
Afterwards, we went to Zingerman's and I got coffee and cookie to much on. Oh yeah, and a brownie. I'm saving the brownie for tomorrow but the coffee & cookie...history.
