random saturday thoughts

firstly i must say for the ten thousandth time how much i do not love george w bush (i'm avoiding hate again) the time on my gps has been wrong for the past week and this is all bush's fault for pointlessly changing when the clocks fall back/spring forward without considering that the entire world is still programmed to do it a week earlier. the only stick of work he did for 8 entire years and it's basically a badly screwed together bookshelf :|

speaking of my nemesis (the gps this time, not bush) she told me to go to Vegas via San Diego :| i am no geographical genius but even i know San Diego is south and Vegas is east of here :| so i headed towards Florida instead of Mexico and shaved h-o-u-r-s off her ETA of the next day at noon :|

it's official - finding a specific song when in shuffle mode is more impossible than winning the lottery :|

is it just my eyes failing me or does everyone see rats crossing the road when they're driving? i swear i'm going insane... they're always running across in front of me and then they stop under my car as i pass over them so i don't actually kill them - it's very unnerving :|

why is it that every person attempting to overtake a car traveling at 50mph, by driving in the fast lane right next to it at 51mph always has a calvin praying sticker...? always! always...

this weekend Sam and i went to see bodies. as in dead bodies - room after room full of corpses, skinned, preserved, dissected and posed playing sports for the public's fascination. we thought this was all kind of cool and certainly fascinating, till we noticed every single face was that of a healthy looking asian man who supposedly had died of 'natural causes'. after researching online, it appears these men were likely prisoners executed and sold for $300 each :( the bodies were supposedly unclaimed and used for medical research, but this show was really more of a traveling freak show and for most people, nothing more than an hour's entertainment between rounds of beer pong and all-you-can-eat crab legs, hardly medical research at all... sigh. Sam left saying he felt so sad for those men and would never want to see someone he knew exploited like that... ditto Sam, gosh i love that boy and the way his head/heart work :)

back tomorrow with pics from the trip - too trick-or-treated out to do it tonight xoxo
