Random Stupf For Friday
Mar. 20th, 2009 01:52 pm*) My sister's husband is set against her buying another VW. She test-drove a Kia yesterday. Dunno if she likes it enough to buy it.
*) While looking for other things, I came upon the Ford Super Pursuit, which is an Australian vehicle that is a Mustang front end combined with a pickup bed. They don't sell those in America because the Department of Transportation's laws regarding Light Trucks have been written by twerps. There has always been demand for these sorts of machines here, but the law has pushed the compact pickup truck instead for the job since the 1970s.
*) BP has a scratch-off sweepstakes going on now, but it doesn't have a Second Chance like previous ones. We won Second Chance drawings a couple times. Instead, BP says, "if you don't win, go to our website to download free Hannah Montana digital content." Which begs the question, who, older than 18 years of age and buying BP gasoline, would WANT Hannah Montana digital content?
*) I've needed to write a scene for a comic book for weeks now and haven't felt in the mood for it.
*) I rolled dice last night to set the budget for my Florida trip. It came to $372. I'm sure that sounds like very little to some of you, but for me that is a fortune.

The Consequences of One Dice Roll
Jun. 30th, 2006 12:02 amHey.
I had to get out of the house and go somewhere before the weekend, but I couldn't decide where I wanted to go. So I rolled a die. 4 equalled Sevierville, and so there I went.
There, I found that the Dollar General stores restocked their Bandai DVDs, so I bought three:
The Big O first season #3
Gundam 0080 #1
The Red Spectacles, a live-action movie from Oshii that unleashed the Hellhounds Police on an unsuspecting culture. I kinda liked Jin-Roh, although I must have been the only one to watch it on the big screen in Knoxville.
Since they've restocked, the hunt is back in season. I've appended the shopping list I keep in my wallet, but this time I'll try to concentrate on completing sets I've already started (Big O first season, Argentosoma, Stratos4, G-Gundam, Gundam W, and the Gundam OAV serials) rather than take on additional series I don't have (Gundam TV, Ronin Warriors, Banner of the Stars, etc.).
One product I wish was available to consumers is the DVD case that can hold multiple disks. *Pulls out Microsoft Works Suite 2006 package* Look at this case! Holds five disks in the space of two regular DVD cases! If empty cases like this were available to consumers I'd buy them and consolidate my stock. But no! All the electronics and office supply stores carry are regular size and thin DVD cases, which are no improvement. I can't even replace the mutilated DVD cases I have for The Aviator or My Fair Lady, because they both are special two-in-one cases.
Sorry for the rant, but this is what happen when I roll a die. Get used to it. :)

nick_101, who do you wanna deck?
Live Trumps IS NOT JUST A MEME! Once you've created your card, click the "watch ____ fight" and see the show! When that fight's over (if you use IE), click your "Go" on your address bar for another match.
I've already Friended two LJ users because their cards appealed to me and I visited their LJ pages to see what they're about.
In theory, you're supposed to fight all the way up the chain to the #1 card. I think I've only gone six rounds at most.

Maybe Fate Is Trying to Tell Me Something

I'm taking a partly-business/partly-getaway trip to Florida this month, and tonight I went to my usual method of travel budgeting--I got 37 dice and shook them and dropped them and added the pips together. The total: exactly $200. I'm a little freaked about that.
