I'm going to start tonight's post with a question. If I'm trying to get a taxi, do I flag down the ones with the light on or off. Most of my taxi experience have been in Pittsburgh and Vegas. Vegas has a stand in front of every place and Pittsburgh you either have to call one or go to the one stand in the downtown area. I think that if the light on top is on, I can flag it down, but I want to make sure.
Since I worked last weekend, I'm taking tomorrow afternoon off. I'm thinking of taking the river ferry over to South Street and celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Since I'm not driving over and I will be drinking and the ferry doesn't run late, I'll need a way home, which will probably be via taxi.
Did anyone else see that the same casino that buys every weird crap that gets sold on eBay just bought Britney Spears's home pregnancy test that was supposedly found in the trash outside her hotel room. Eeew. The only use I can see for it is to take her DNA and clone her, except raise the clone to have brains and class.
I had this movie from Netflix. Great movie. It had to been weird for the kid who played Mario Van Peebles in the movie. Some people meet the real person they're playing in the movie. The guy he was playing was the director.
Elton John is doing a free concert on the steps that Rocky ran up in the movie. They're expecting 1.5 million people. I'm thinking of going. It would be great to hear a musical legend from far far away.
I got a card in my mailbox yesterday saying I had a certified letter at the post office that I had to come pick up and sign for. I found this unusual since the guy at the front desk of my building can sign for mail that needs signed for. I thought it was something like something from a tax office or something. There turned out to be a lot simpler explanation. The letter was a copy of my lease renewal noticed sent by the building's management company. It was sent certified so they have proof that I got it. That's why the desk guy couldn't sign for it. It wouldn't mean much if the signature on the proof of delivery of the letter they sent belonged to one of their own employees.
More news:
- Psst. Wanna by a nail clipper? I still don't see how nail clippers, especially those without nail files on it, can be considered weapons. I've had some that wouldn't even cut my nails.
- Here's something I never thought I would see: the words "Oscars", "David" and "Hasselhoff" in the same sentence.
- Anyone want to help me make a Star Wars movie?
- This is funny. And to think we couldn't even get a high chair from McDonalds.
- Could have used this when I lived in the dorms and other apartments. Then again, we never needed the cd to make noise. And if we did ever need a cd, we had plenty of Manilow.
- I would love to see every play in August Wilson's Pittsburgh Cycle. Heck, I'd be happy to see just one at this point.
- I've been trying to figure out what to do with t-shirts I have that I like the design of but are in too bad of a shape to actually wear. This is a possibility, if only if one of these weren't so damn expensive.
- I have two comments on this.
First of all, the first paragraph should be made into law, except replacing the phrase "shipped off to rehab" with "execution".
Second, I have this gut feeling that the Republicans in 2008 are going to be obsessed with beating Hilary Clinton in the same way the Democrats were obsessed with beating George W. Bush in 2004. And with similar results.
I wonder if it's too late to pass a constitutional amendment banning any more presidents named "Bush" and "Clinton". The Democrats wouldn't have to worry about Jeb, Republicans wouldn't have to worry about "Hilary", and U.S. voters would simply win.
- If we had read this article in college, the first two words would be "Road trip".
- Am I the only one who read this article and wondered how anyone could mistake a body bag with a body in it with a body bag with just clothes in it.
- Why is this news? I've been adding twenty minutes to the starting time published in the newspaper for years.
And I'm not officially caught up with news items I wanted to blog about.
