I'm tired of all the jeans available being worn out before I buy them.  Even the ones without holes are practically falling apart on the hanger.

I like the Claire's outlet.  It's pretty useless, I should buy more clothes.

Around here, everybody writes their house or building number on the cans.

I think most families have plans and want to relax on Sunday.

I hope her parents paid for voice lessons and the rights to a real song.

You should look into defragmenting the harddrive, and moving non-essential files onto an external harddrive.  This helps my old PC a lot.

I also set it so the programs I rarely use (especially RealPlayer, QuickTime, and chat programs) don't automatically launch when I start my computer.  They gobble up a lot of resources running in the background.

At some point I'm going to have to replace my computer, but I really don't want to.

I think it's the budget and audience.  Most of the old cartoons were aimed at older kids, and had toy lines to support them.  But modern kids only want computer toys, and small kids are the only ones left who still want toys.

Really sad, IMO.

IMO it's Avril Lavigne all over again.  Appealing to girls who want something "different" but aren't experienced enough to find the real deal.

I can't guess what she'll do.  Her life was already a mess before her daughter died.

Sad.  The United States used to lead the way in technology, but at least other countries can still pick up the slack.

I'm not certain, but I think they've been doing it on the 4th for a few years now.  I watch almost no TV, so I only see things like this on holidays.

That lady got incredibly lucky, and I doubt she's even smart enough to be truly grateful for it.

1. its the internet its TYPED words not said to your face and I guarantee the person who is typing badly to or about you wouldn't even say a word to you VERBALLY in person if you were to see/meet them.

That's the truth.  Years ago, some people I knew from high school were throwing public hissyfits online.  They were typing the nastiest threats at everybody they had known.

I didn't get upset over what they wrote, only frustrated because they grew up to be huge idiots.  They were passive-aggressive wusses in real life.  I wouldn't even call it bullying, because the threats were so empty.

I like to add minced ginger root and a pinch of szechuan spice to the "Oriental" flavor.  It tastes much, much better.
