do i use whatever's left over after making the downpayment next week to buy a scooba?

i'm sorry ... questions as intriguing as these come up when edward is making me watch a completely boring "action" movie, which features the worst acting i've seen this week.

i rent in kind of a mediocre condo building and know exactly none of my neighbors by name, which is fine by me. however, one i know on sight is a dude who lives next to me. before i get into my ill-advised story, which edward will probably chide me for writing, i will provide a brief synopsis of what i know about mr. neighbor:

  • despite being approximately early middle-aged, he seems to be at home during the day every day - this has been the case since i've lived in the building

  • his uniform consists of a dark t-shirt with its sleeves cut off. said shirt manages to expose an unsavory expanse of oddly tanned chest and is always paired with ratty shorts

  • saw him cut in front of a huge line at the starbucks near my house so that he could get a refill of coffee in a gnarly paper starbucks cup that he carries around when he's outside the apartment building

  • his hair looks like it would rather be gnawing down trees to build a dam

to top it off, his social skills appear to be rudimentary at best. as opposed to mine, which are whatever the next level above rudimentary is.

Nothing says the 4th of July quite like having your car broken into, again. Sigh.

I guess this is the solution to rising gas prices: instead of spending money on America's large oil conglomerates, I can wisely spend money on a deductible for America's large insurance companies!

On the plus side, it still drives like a charm, and this is just another reason to keep the top down. Even better, the rain that was let in from the storm when the vandals sliced the top actually cleaned my rear seat. Now that's service!

guess those with root access are slacking again...which is a shame because i generally need something against which i can deploy some snark. an article by laskas, a picture of ed's vandalized smile, or anything non-afghan related...preferably with a photo link so i can remember what summer in places with water looks like!

I told you so.

Further, there is likely to be more structure brought to a political operation that has largely been delegated to the Regional Campaign Managers. The campaign currently has no political or field director.

The lack of any real campaign apparatus was idiotic from the get-go. I'm sad that McCain will be tougher to beat moving forward, but at least the retooling will take some energy away from him. The more he rebuilds, the less donors will give him, which feeds a vicious cycle.
