What I Thought In May 2003

« April 2003 | Main | June 2003 »

(05-29) I think The Matrix must not run on a Windows-based platform, because you never see anybody get wiped out by a Blue Screen of Death.

(05-28) I think I don't understand why anyone would design something that uses 3 batteries. Everyone knows they only sell them in multiples of 4! Yeah, I could buy 12 batteries, but how long would it take a stupid caller ID unit to go through 4 sets of batteries?

(05-27) I think my allergies have finally outsmarted Claritin.

(05-24) I think I had kind of forgotten about the whole sky being blue thing, until today.

(05-21) I think that in the many years that Fig Newtons (and the other Newtons) have been around, you'd think they could improve on the WORST PRODUCT PACKAGING EVER. Nearly ever other food you can think of has changed its packaging in recent years, many of them going with ziplock like resealable packages. Heck, as mentioned previously, my bag of socks from Wal-Mart was resealable! So why can't they put Newtons in a bag that makes it remotely possible to keep them fresh? Because of the plastic liner, you can't even roll the bag down and clip it. It's completely ridiculous.

(05-21) I think Ruben stole my "big velvet teddy bear" nickname, but I'm still glad he won.

(05-20) I think I'm not saying that a lottery was a good idea, but at least then the government's only getting money from stupid people, rather than sucking me dry with more taxes.

(05-19) I think we need a moment of silence...the series finale of Buffy is tomorrow night. I can't believe this is the last time I'll ever have to look forward to a new episode of Buffy!

(05-18) I think I hate to be so trendy and all, but GO REUBEN!

(05-18) I think Noah would have felt right at home in Birmingham the last couple of weeks.

(05-16) I think as much as I love Friends, sometimes it makes me want to poke my eyes out. Come on, people! Seriously! This isn't Jerry Springer! No one is going to hook up with one of their best friends who also happens to be the mother/father of their other best friend's child!

(05-15) I think I like to think that I've grown as a person over the last couple of years, but as hard as I try, I just can't take anyone who sends emails in all-caps seriously. It's kind of like Northerners who think you're stupid just because you have a Southern accent. I just can't get past it.

(05-15) I think if I'm ever in charge of a really fancy kennel for spoiled dogs, I'd let people have the option of paying extra to have a webcam in the dog's cage so that they could check on it from wherever they are, because that would be neat.

(05-10) I think that every once in a while, Jesse Jackson should consider the remote possibility that every decision that people make is not racially motivated. Why, exactly, does it make national headlines everytime he opens up his idiotic mouth? Has he taken even a moment to ponder the possibility that Alabama hired Shula because he was the best candidate for the job, not because he's white? Does Jackson have some incredible eye for football coaching talent that he knows better? Is anybody supposed to believe that Witt and Moore thought to themselves, "Well, this other guy would be a much better coach, but he's black, so we shouldn't give him the job." I think he's embarassing himself by comparing this to Wallace's stand in the schoolhouse door...

(05-08) I think sports writers across the state are upset because Alabama's new coach doesn't have nearly as many pun-filled headline possibilities as the last one.

(05-06) I think Jesse Jackson needs something better to do with his time than try to influence the search for Alabama's next head coach. Please, someone give this guy a Playstation 2 or something!

(05-05) I think I wonder how long it will take before I stop putting in my old home phone number when I check my voice mail remotely.

(05-01) I think sometimes it seems like Alabama football would have been better off if they HAD given us the death penalty.

(05-01) I think the Dubba Dubba twins are still stalking me. We saw one of them at Target the other night. Clearly, there's only one explanation...they split up so that they'd have a better chance of running into me.
