Road Trip baby
I wanna road trip around the USA. Here's a good site about an old couple who did just that, unfortunately they're also small minded pricks who want to boycott France just because it didn't cooperate with the US over Iraq. This is the kind of simpleton attitude that their president has. Watching the earlier presidential debate has convinced me I'm a definite Kerry fan, unfortunately the logic and eloquency of his campaign will probably be lost on Americans and overshadowed by Bush's "I'm working hard" rhetoric.
Anyway, back to the trans-American idea. I might blow some of my banks money on this idea if I can get someone to do it with me. There's no way you could do this alone as you need to share the driving. Planning an intinerary will be a bitter sweet experience as I reckon it will be fun to research where to go but a nightmare to make it practical. I'd also like to visit all my American friends as that would take me to Colorado, California, Illinois, Georgia and New York. I wanna go to Texas and the deep south and get some good small town home cooking. I wonder how much this trip would cost?

scary moment
So i put ear plugs in last night as my roommate decided to play his guitar at 1am. I woke up in the early hours with a bit of discomfort and went to pull them out when I noticed that the right one had been pushed totally inside my ear and I couldn't reach it. After a mild panic and thoughts of going deaf in one ear I thought don't worry, get some tweezers. Then I remembered I don't have any tweezers! Thoughts of getting scissors were quickly banished and I just about managed to grab the edge of it with my finger nail and extract. I hope that doesn't happen again as I need those ear plugs if I'm gonna get any sleep.

Karma's not working
Things that have gone well recently:
- I got a free side of Ranch with my Wendy's
- I got an interview at Whistler
Things that haven't gone well recently:
- I got lost driving to Whistler
- I get to Whistler and have a voicemail saying the interview is off (Whister is a 2 1/2 hr drive)
- I miss a call from a recruiter and by the time I call back the work is gone
- I am woken up every day by our neighbour's car that plays music when it reverses
- the owners of the house with best room i saw in my 6 week room hunt are now hassling me to move in after I've said no

Can they make America any fatter?
Even after the Supersize Me debacle Domino's have decided to launch a new type of pizza. This pizza is a pizza with another pizza on top of it. The Doublemelt as they call it, is sure to induce cardiac arrest in yet another set of poor saps whose metabolic rate is below average. Wonder if they'll launch it in the UK? I reckon it'd be popular in Glasgow!

Unhealthy interest in the scum...
Manyoo are buying all my favourite players and it's corrupting my good nature. My hatred for them is waning. I need help. Smudger just saved them from another embarassing defeat against Boro. Maybe it's time to drop horsehead as he's been crap this season. Get a Rooney/Smith partnership going and help out England in the process.
