I don't get it. I was at the rental store today browsing the cheap section where they lump together most of the movies that aren't new releases, and I spot a middle-aged woman carefully deliberating a particular section of the aisle. Out of curiosity, I wander over and take a peak as she picks this up from the wall:

"Hey Jim, look at this one? Funny huh?!" A mid-teens dude, obviously her son, walks over and studies it, responding "Nah, ain't this foreign?"
The mother shrugs, puts it back, and grabs this:

"How about this one? It's got the boys in it!" Her son grabs it, grins, and responds "Yeah, that's what up." They take it to the register.
...what? I dunno, I don't get it. :frustrated:
Yea, they totally should have went for 305
You know what needs to be invented if it has not been yet? Reprintable paper/ink. Perhaps something like a transparency except not transparent. The ink has to not rub off easily but perhaps if you spray a certain chemical on it you'll then be able to wipe it off. There are probably other ways to go about creating such a product but this was just my initial solution.
There's the thermal stuff, but that requires thermal paper. Nonetheless, saves a lot.Quote:

You can't re-use thermal paper in this way, can you?Quote:

Although I'd prefer a book this will do. I"m sure a portable device would be that much better.
I fixed my garage door opener last night. Now, that may not seem like a big deal to many of you, but I have zero skills in the handy department, and for me to climb my ladder and muck about up there and then come back down and have the opener work again is a big deal. A REALLY big deal. Like, "my-wife-staring-at-me-in-stunned-silence-and-then-jumping-up-and-down-and-shouting-to-the-neighbors-that-I-fixed-something" big deal.

Stupid Maryland. I went outside for three minutes to get something from my car, and now I have six-- SIX-- new insect bits on my arm, all swollen and hot to the touch. I don't even know what got me. I look like I just grafted on the arm of a plague victim.
Is it misty there?Quote:

King is okay... sometimes... but I don't watch horror films. I mean, almost never.Quote:

I say November.
Mind is heavy today with wondering what the hell I'm going to do with my life. Current plan: move to Honolulu, enroll in school, get a bachelors dgree hopefully by the time I'm thirty.
Perhaps this post ought not to have been posted directly after I disparaged horror films.Quote:
