County Health Dept. Can Go Fly a Kite

I had to get my second hepatitis b shot yesterday. Another $40. This is a three shot vaccination. I called around and this was the cheapest I could find it and had to drive to a sort of ghetto clinic in Chula Vista about 35 mins away. Now if I had been a drug addict, spent time in the slammer, had numerous sexual partners or been a homosexual (all questions asked of me at the county health building), I could have received the shot for $10. Nothing like playing by the rules and being a responsible member of society and getting the shaft for it. Thanks, world. Thanks for rewarding delinquents with affordable shots.

Cats are not fun

I know, they look cute. They're black and white. They're sort of kittens. One's fluffy and lazy and one is sly and curious. But let me tell you what I think of them--I hate them. My roommate got them because we found some mouse poo in one of our cupboards. Want to know who ended up catching the mouse? I did. Set a trap with some peanut butter and within about 45 mins I caught the mouse. We had the cats for months and they did nothing. Totally worthless. I tried to give them away on craigslist (my one roommate who got the cats got married, moved out and left the cats) and had about 10 people chomping at the bit to pick them up, but my soft hearted roommate couldn't stand to part with them. I want to kill them.

iPhone = iHate

Many people find the iPhone Great
Yet sometimes it's something that iHate.
Yes it's convenient and it's handy
Is that why so many think it's dandy?
Or is it because they find you a bore
And feel their iPhone delivers so much more?
Maybe they've got a technology habit
I wish we could go back to the cuneiform tablet.

Dogs indoors at public places that are not seeing eye dogs make me furious

Today I was at the mall buying some shorts. I strolled into Banana Republic because I had some lousy discount/store credit and what do I see once inside? Some guy in there with his little dog checking out clothes. Was this guy blind? No. What was he doing in the store with his dog? I'll tell you what, being a loser. If you're not blind and you're not at Petsmart, leave your dog at home when you go to a store. My word.

I hate Facebook

I'm not going to lie. I hate Facebook. No one will ever convince me to join it. I don't care how many people say, "it's just an easy way to stay in touch with people," or "but you can get in touch with people you haven't seen in years." So what.

If there's people I want to stay in touch with--I do stay in touch with them. I don't need to do it via Facebook. If I haven't seen or spoken to you in years, I'm going to keep that streak going. We've managed this long, we'll probably be alright. When we cross paths again, think about how much better it will be opposed to some lame posting on one another's wall.
