About two months after my car stereo died, I have a new one. My Kenwood reversable face crapped out on me and I guess I wanted to see how driving in silence was. It wasn’t that cool. So I bought a JVC cd player that plays MP3 CDs and has a plug for iPods.

The catch was that I wanted to install it myself, which involved switching out the wire harness. I pulled it off (the negative battery connection) and did it during lunch. Now I can listen to ridiculously continuous amounts of the music I want whenever I want.

I highly recommend getting a CD player in your car that can allow for more than just CDs. And installing it yourself. It’s fun.

Everyday, over 200 models succumb to starvation. Most never get a proper education. Some are whisked away and forced to work long hours on beaches in hot conditions.

But you can help.

For just a few hundred dollars a day, you can give a model the nutrition, knowledge, and opportunities they deserve. They’ll be sent real, gourmet foods, like this chocolate & cardamom fondant with poached tamarillo.

They’ll also be given pop-up books and allowed to work fully-clothed in suitable conditions. Everything they need to survive in today’s world. Act now before it’s too late.

Exercise #1:

While fully dressed in a suit, approach the destabilizer. Press your gut up against the padding and have your buddy go through all of the reasons why everyone in elementary school thought you were such a loser. You will soon convulse in a fit of crying.

Burns: 300 calories/hr

Exercise #2:

Relax upon the benchmaster with a slight posture. Pull the handcrank until the iron roller compresses your flabby muscles into more compact, efficient shreds of beef. This can eliminate up to 2-3″ off of your waistline per session. Caution: Do Not Use Compressor Near Genitalia

Burns: 60 calories/hr

Exercise #3:

Find a wheelchair and put it up on blocks at least 12″ off the ground. Find a sturdy piece of wood at least 3 feet long and wrest it behind your back under your armpits. Pull arms forward and lean back as hard as you can for proper spinal correction. Stop if sensation in extremities is lost.

Burns: 135 calories/hr

Last night, we went to Great Scott to see Radka play, hang out, and stuff like that. Before we got there, though, we hit up Soul Fire, which is so freaking good I almost couldn’t leave.

Anyway, while we were at Great Scott, we found out David Arquette was there kind of hosting the show and promoting his upcoming movie, The Tripper. Turns out his character’s name is “Muff”. Good lord. But, he was buying beer for people, which was cool.

Also helped re-invent the word “gick”, which refers to a girl who’s a dick. She’s not a bitch, she’s a gick. Enjoy.

So, as hundreds of you have pointed out, over the last few days, the commenting on here was broken. Well, that was because the link to each individual post was broken. Why? Because my ghetto hosting provider, Lunarpages, put me on a ghetto temporary server.

The section I used to have that showed what songs I was playing on my computer somehow busted, which created an infinite loop of 404 badness that caused hell on the server I was on. So they banished me. I fixed the problem within 30 minutes of finding out about it and that was last Thursday. I told them it was fixed, they acknowledged it, and said a few more days would be needed to ensure the problem was solved.

It’s now the following Wednesday, and not only have these knuckleheads not put me back on the regular server with all the functionality this site needs, they haven’t even responded to me in four days, which leads me to believe they’re really a bunch of pirates who live in Baja Mexico.

Needless to say, I’m pissed, and am about to switch. And finally, don’t ever use Lunarpages. They’re sluts!
