the (very brief) state of the jood

1. pinching pennies for a new vehicle. barring a crappy price for my trade-in, I'm lookin' to get one by December. WHER. [nervous biting of the slivered remains of my nails] The **exact** one I want - options, color and all - is sittin' there at the dealer's lot just down the road, but my down payment will be bigger in December, AND he doesn't appear to be very willing to deal at the moment. Hrm. Determining factors will be trade-in offer and the supersecret "true cost" data I ordered a few days ago.

2. goin' to see sister in Toronto tomorrow. back on Monday. WHERRRRRRR.

3. found four wrong things on my credit report and disputed them.

4. the Bear is chasing his tail again, and has begun to take up Emma's "come-hither" role in kitty wrasslin'. There is much sighing at the Mansion of Mirth.

5. Boomtown: Yes. Full Metal Challenge: No. Trigger Happy TV: *HELL YES*.

6. I've known some dirt-stupid folks in my time, and political party affiliation really wasn't the deciding factor there. One of them said she supported the President's political agendas because he was (beware: direct quote ahead) "popular in college". That's not partisanship talkin'...that's just a big ol' case of The Stoopids.

7. I have not taken the Hello Kitty quiz, because I am sore afraid I'll end up being Serial Killer Hello Kitty or Size Queen Hello Kitty or some such. Plus it doesn't help that the URL has the word "FUCK" in it. That would do wonders for the folks tracking our web use over here in Nunburg.

8. R's friend who had all the baby trouble just had a little girl, with whom we visited last weekend. TICK. very cute baby. TICK. prettiest hospital-incubator shot I've ever seen. girl's a looker. TICK TICK TICK

9. Still awaiting final word on the promotion. starting to twitch a bit.

10. Lunch. There must be lunch.

LOTR and South Park Fans:

Next week on South Park, the boys (dressed up in FOTR costumes) go on a sacred quest: to return the Lord of the Rings to the video store.

Catch the trailer on Comedy Central if you can. It made me nearly wet my pants. I believe this may be "Must-See" defined.

Between that trailer and the "sports training montage" repeat last night, I'm a happy, perverse little puppy.

Oh, and the Daily Show's "Midterm Elections" Schoolhouse Rock parody kicked some freakin' HUGE ass. I'm still giggling over the little boy telling his grandfather, "Holy Christ, that's depressing."

(no subject)

Well, I suppose my husband will be happy to know that.
