out of boredom...
I was watching Veronica Mars last night. I am actually surprised i haven't gotten into this show before, as it's about a young girl detective and i eat that stuff up...
anyway, since i apparently don't have much to say on the ol' blog-a-log these days, I give you another quote, said to Veronica by her boyfriend after she's been moping around for a day:
"Have you been listening to too much Radiohead? That's it, I'm putting you on a strict Nelly diet."

Opinions are like...
My favorite quotes about opinions used to be:
Opinions were like kittens, I was giving them away. Which is from a modest mouse song (however if anyone knows whether or not there is a further back origin of this, I'd love to know).
My new favorite quote about opinions is:
Opinions are like buttholes; everyone's got one. Which apparently has been around a while, I just haven't heard it. There's nothing like saying it in a deposition to an attorney though; that rocks.

silly search string
is it true after knee surgery you have to retrain your brain ho
in my stats page, it's obvious that this search string got cut off, however...
Due to my homie-G mindset, I automatically read this search string as this:
Is it true dat after knee surgery you got to retrain your brain, ho?!

It's not the quote that's so funny
It's what one of my coworkers wrote after it.
So, someone in my office has one of those George W. Bushisms desk calendars. The quote on it is, "I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully." -Saginaw, Michigan; September 29, 2000
Thsi page was torn out and posted on the fridge at work. Under the quote, someone wrote, "No Way! Fish are evil doers. War on Fish!"
Fos some reason, every time I read that, War on Fish! It just cracks me up.

while in fresno
I went into this cafe to get some iced tea. I had this turquoise flowered purse with me (most of you know the one) and the girl at the counter asked me where I got it. A lot of people ask me where I got this purse, i get compliments on it quite often. It's really nothing special, I reply, "The Gap."
She said, "I try not to shop at the Gap."
I remember feeling this way. I remember how Fresno makes you want to rebel against the "big chain stores." However, what I want to ask her is, Where the hell do you shop?
There is nothing but big chain stores. There is nothing but the Gap. Do you shop only at thrift stores? Aren't half of those clothes originally form the Gap or Old Navy anyway. It's not as though they have an American Apparel where you know that everything was made sweatshop free, etc.
Do you by your clothes at Sears? Maybe she likes to wear toughskins?
And now that I'm thinking about it, I don't think she said, "I try not to shop at the Gap."
I think she said, "I try to avoid the Gap." Like it's the fucking plague or something. Or like it could happen anyway.
Things I try to avoid:
Getting hit by a car.
Burning my mouth on hot coffee.
Getting fat.
Falling down the stairs.
See, now that was a good example. I try to avoid falling down the stairs, but sometimes it happens anyway. It really sucks when it does, and maybe I could have been more careful, but I tried to avoid it.
You don't try to avoid the Gap. You either do or you don't. Yes, I'm sorry you live in Fresno and want to get out. But seriously, I remember that need-to-leave feeling and that need to try to do everything opposite of the norm in Fresno. It's hard living in a city that has Alan Autry as a mayor and a city that has new strip malls every week. However, I think you need to accept that, embrace that, make it your own, do what you can to improve your quality of life, or just get the hell out. Stop avoiding things, stop making excuses and leave.
I left Fresno with a new appreciation for it. Life there is easy, simple. No parking problems, no traffic, cheap food on every corner. Not only that, but people don't expect as much out of you. And whenever you feel down, remember, Fresno used to be cool:
However, I do have one problem, can someone tell Fresno that it's okay to go out drinking on Mondays???
on another note, some pics of fresno:
(food is still to come)

Said by Pennsylvanian school librarian
"I get to match the perfect book with the perfect student, find the right piece of information for the right teacher, explain the best resource for the best response, and plan for the greatest successes for the greatest people."

Heard on the bus
"This is such a nice day, if I had a job I'd call in sick. I'm going to go get a job, just so I can call in sick."
