There’s a huge praying mantis/dragonfly-type thing stuck to the front of my car, dead (but with pretty wings) from my drive last night. It’s kinda cool, but in a weird way … pictures may come later once my camera’s batteries finish recharging.

Brownie points if you get the title reference hehe. If not, oh well … feast your eyes on me as a Simpson (sort of … took multiple tries for my browser to not freeze whilst customizing, thus detailed customizing could not occur):

Get your own here!

Edit: Found another Simpson-maker here. It’s definitely easier to use, but the graphics are a bit different and there aren’t as many clothing choices. Here’s me again:

I just finished wrapping up a bunch of pennies ’cause they were overflowing both my wallet and their money box compartment. Guess how many were left over? Just one! Usually I have like 40 or so hehe.

Why is Drew Carey replacing Bob Barker on The Price is Right? After Whose Line and whatever other comedy-related things he’s done, I just can’t see him doing something semi-serious, not to mention almost famous/legendary …

I found a staple in my bottle of Allegra this morning. Granted, there was only 1 pill left and I noticed it before anything bad happened, but just think what would’ve happened to CVS if that bottle had found its way to someone less careful with taking their medicine.

I’ve finally started Harry Potter. And no, not the latest book that’s mentioned everywhere you turn — book 1. Don’t know why, but I think after so many people bugging me about reading it and how great it was (especially Mike and my boss), I guess I just caved and decided to give it another go. Over the weekend I visited Myrtle Beach, experienced book 7’s midnight party, and borrowed the first 3 books from Mike … and I have to admit, 100 pages in, it’s not that bad. It kinda sucks being so far behind and subconsciously comparing everything to the movie … but oh well. I keep being reassured that the more I read the better it becomes, so for the sake of not being clueless anymore and so Mike has someone to talk to about it, I’ll push through Who knows, I might even become a convert!

Hanson has finally released dates for the first leg of their tour! They’re even coming to Baltimore and DC back-to-back, on a weekend no less, and I feel a little weird not having Baltimore tickets yet. The pre-sale started on Monday, but I haven’t been able to make myself buy a ticket ’cause of the price (which can get expensive when you’re going to multiple shows) and the fact that the drive is long and in unfamiliar territory (like that’s stopped me before). And I’m sure my Hanson fan friend, Christina, will be at every show she can afford, so it’s not like I’d be alone … meh. Maybe I’ll just suck it up and do it. I’m definitely going to the DC show … and then there’s a show in Richmond, but it’s on a Wednesday night in October and ever farther than Baltimore, so I’m leaning towards no on that. Part of me is really holding out for a Myrtle Beach date on a weekend that Mike’s friend Dave has access to, but I know that’s a long shot Hmm. Well, I have ’til Saturday (the general onsale day) to decide on Baltimore, and if I’m lucky secure a spot in DC, so I guess I’ll update you all then.

I just opened a pack of Welch’s Fruit Snacks of the Mixed Fruit variety. The problem? The only flavors inside were strawberry and orange … there’s supposed to be like 2 or 3 others (maybe grape, lemon, and/or apple)! I swear, the vending machine in this building keeps getting weirder … first, half the things it offers are stale (randomly), and now this. WTF?
