Why Not

(to Candice)

Diamonds. They can be used in all sorts of engi-nerd ways.

Superman. (Suck it, C!)

The Daily Show, Globe Trekker

5. What do you usually have for breakfast?
Non-fat, no-whip mocha from Starbucks if I’m lazy. Non-fat, no-whip mocha from home if I’m awake enough and a bagel. If I’m really awake, it’s a high-protein, all-natural fruit shake.

Sad, but the only thing that comes to mind is the Brokeback Mountain soundtrack. Yeah, I’m a big homo. I just don’t buy full CD’s now that I’ve got iTunes. I bought the new Dixie Chicks CD, but I don’t see the big deal. It’s ok, but not that phenomenal.

Altima. 3 more payments, bitch!

Being an asshole.

Right now, a small costal town in the UK.
