sometime this year i have already or will turn 25.

today i found my first gray hair.

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

hey, you disgusting people that think it is a-okay to stink up my work area by microwaving your disgusting, filthy, putrid, smelly fish lunches -- it is not okay. your noxious and fetid fishy products just make me want to go postal on you.

it is also not okay to eat your lunch in the bathroom.

it is also not okay to casually set aforementioned disgusting lunch on my table while you engage yourself in other activities.

i swear that the next person who does this to me will find their lunch happily awaiting them in the trashcan.

okay people, call off the search parties. i'm here. between the crappy weather (alternating between torrential rain and a heat wave), having a cold, extreme boredom, and a whole mess of summer laziness, i just haven't felt like blogging. this could be a direct result of multiple hangovers. or because i'm a slacker. or both. after weeks of fooling around, it appears i may have returned to my normal summer schedule. anyways, a wrapup:

adaptation (the movie): loved it. you should rent and watch immediately. i died laughing (in a good way).
the hulk: hated it. it must be a boy thing. i thought the pacing was horrendous. i spent the whole time in the theater looking at my watch (which, fortunately, has indiglo).
old school: funny, but no extreme love.
the new tom green show: love it.
doggy fizzle televizzle: love it.
kappy's liquors: love.
sunflower seeds: love.
running out of minutes on my cell phone: HATE.
half.com: love.
sunshine: love.
doritos: love.
my dirty disgusting rug: hate. last night i contemplated putting an ad on craigslist to see if anyone would be interested in a free filthy rug. i decided to throw it away instead.
air conditioning: love.
my new sheets: love.
new stereo: love.

i should mention that if you're in boston, we get special fireworks this sunday night.

I must be one of the last people on the Internet to discover the excellence that is Homestar Runner. I periodically noticed Mr. Poon's prominent link to the H*R site, and I had read an article about it in some culture mag a few months back. It wasn't until last weekend that I finally got curious enough to click on.

Pure, absurdist goodness for all ages. Bravo. Plus the #1 jam of summer 2002! (link includes audio)

A fine respite from job stress, a depressing week on the Supreme Court, and other buffetings.

PS: "Oh. A handful of change. ... So, thank you. For adding another step to my Halloween process."

I'm not sure my life is complete without Minty Frikkin' Mullet Lip Balm. Or other fine products for mullets.
