I'm fully mad...

at half and half. Yes, the milk product. I'm over it and its big bag of bullshit.

Let's look at a timeline, shall we?

Sat, 12/8 - purchase a pint of half and half (Lucerne brand for those of you in the know) at the SafeGay, around 2pm PST. The sell-by date is 12/20/07 (NEXT Thursday).
Fri, 12/14 - open said pint to cream up my first morning cup of coffee. This is the initial opening/use.

I ask you, I say to you, "hey..." - should I be receiving tiny bits of curdled cream floating atop my coffee from an unopened, seemingly unexpired milk product? I don't think so... BUT I DID.

This happens routinely with half and half in my life. Why? I never did anything to the milk industry. I'm a faithful small-time consumer of things creamy and delicious. Why the curdling conspiracy.

I go for fat-free or low-fat food items when I can (and where there is no huge trade off on extra sugar to replace the missing fat). But half and half in my coffee is one place where I do not. Perhaps full-fat half and half just has a really poor shelf life and I need to accept that those dates are bunk on the carton. Can't be trusted. Because fat-free half and half seems to have a half-life akin to Uranium or something. That shit never seems to turn. But I look at regular and it chunks up before my eyes.

Or is there a dirty secret about Lucerne of which I am sadly unaware?

blood and gore

So my doctor looked at my leg yesterday. He says I broke a blood vessel and estimates up to a pint of blood is just sort of swimming around in my tissue in my thigh and knee. That also explains the swelling as in addition to the "loose" blood with no where to go, there is additional swelling due to normal body reaction to trauma and additional blood cells to speed recovery in the area.

He estimates 2, possibly 3 weeks before all is back to normal.

HATES IT.

yeah, not happy

this is my gym @ 5:10 am. So you can imagine since I bothered to wake up @ 4:30, that I'm a little pissed that the dude who opens the gym can't get up in time to open at 5am as they are supposed to.

hmmphhhh....

"she's got 3 or 4 problems..."

"she's got her cuckoo panties on..."

"she's cuckoo-bananas...."

"she's cuckoo for cocoa-puffs..."

"she good -n- crazy..."

sign-o-the-times

So I love conversation hearts. They are, to me, Valentine's answer to Candy Corn. YUM.

Our goofy department at work bought individual boxes of Necco brand "Sweethearts" and gave them to everyone. I was a bit taken aback at the discovery of one of the messages on the hearts:
I feel like this is a commentary on our current social situation. Don't "Call Me", don't "Kiss Me", just "Email". It's quick, it's easy, it's surfacey. Sure, if you live cross-country, fine. But I am beginning to feel like everyone (ME INCLUDED) is a bit too off-line phobic. Meaning, so many people appear to prefer the impersonality of hiding behind a computer screen over in-person interaction.

Get to know me across the interweb? SURE.

Have coffee with me? NO WAY.... Too personal!

WTF?

So instead, get out there in person, people. Shove your tongue down someone's throat. Grab a crotch.

BE ALIVE

KISS ME

HOLY FUCK

So... it's no secret I'm not a fan of the recent Google convergence with Blogger and YouTube. I have been gnashing teeth as I can't get videos on YT to post to Blogger automatically as I once could, before I migrated to the newer version of Blogger. [enter extreme anger stage left]

I got all wrapped up into it and FINALLY figured out why.

1. I had neglected to update my login info ON YouTube. Yes - user error. I'll admit it. It happens. But....

2. so i updated my info. STILL get the error that the username/password is wrong. ARGH! I started poking around. Before the new version of Blogger came out of beta, it was called Blogger(beta). Well... it's now just called Blogger. But YouTube doesn't know that yet. I had to FOOL YT by deleting my blog, then re-adding as Blogger(beta) which its not, really.

But until the geniuses figure that one out, for the time being, I think I can successfully post from YT to my blog.

FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC!

what the fudge?

Why do some of my friends' blogs seem to have new posts, while others seem to have reverted back to "previous versions" where it looks like they haven't posted since last week, although I KNOW they have?

Could it be because Blogger SUCKS MY ASS?

or is it because Blogger is FUCKING LAME?

have i mentioned lately

HOW FUCKING LAME THE NEW LAME-ASSED, FUCKING USELESS, NON-WORKING BLOGGER IS?

HOW SINCE GOOGLE BOUGHT BLOGGER, BLOGGER IS EVEN MORE LAMER THAN EVER BEFORE?

HOW MUCH I HATE BLOGGER?

HOW LAME BLOGGER IS?

HOW SOMETIMES MY CREATE A NEW POST SCREEN THE DEFAULT VIEW IS "COMPOSE" AND OTHER TIMES IT IS "EDIT HTML"?

HOW BLOGGER SEEMS NOT TO CARE THAT THE NEW BLOGGER IS SO COMPLETELY BUGGY ON FIREFOX?

HOW LAME BLOGGER IS?

smile gollum... sing out, smeagol
