Lock Down
I have 3 days to write 10 pages. Can I do it? I better. I’m shooting for a B in the class enough to get my tuition reimbursed. That’ll be a nice.
Broderic Jones Must Die
I don’t even earn a top spot.
When Titles Collide
Over at The House Next Door they are doing a movie title mash up. What’s that you say? Take titles of movies and string them along together, jumble their respective plots, and there you have it.
Don’t get it, then sample some of them there or read a few of mine.
Apocalypto Now. — A pre-columbian epic wherein the protagonist must kill the head of the crazy Mayan tribe.
Se7en Samurai — A Japanese village enlists the help of ronin samurai to catch a serial killer. The english translation doesn’t work: “Kikuchiyo” doesn’t mean “what’s in the box.”
Repo Man on Fire — A man goes after the people who reposessed his car with deadly force.
Repo Manchurian Candidate — The sequel wherein the man gets his car but unbeknownst to him under the careful scrutiny of a secret society leading him to kill a presidential candidate.
The Rules of the Game of Death — A kung fu movie set amongst the french upper class. Passion and action ensues.
Do The Right Thing That You Do — Racial tension on a hot summer day boils over when a band on the rise loses it’s way.
The Hills Have Eyes of Laura Mars — After her eye surgery Laura Mars’s car breaks down in a remote place, she’s attacked by mutant savages, but thanks to the serial killer eyes repels them.
See that’s easy. Your turn.

Boost
As you know, my car was being fixed. It turns out the lower turbo
outlet pipe fitting on the intercooler had popped off. That is the
“popping” noise I heard. The sensors came on in response to that. Anyway it was fixed all of 15 minutes before it came off again
yesterday. That sucks. I had my cousin, Joe, help fix it. We aligned the pipes together. We
expanded the wedge. I hope it’s working. Yet, now it is Russian
roulette driving that sucker. I didn’t go back to the shop. What’s the point?For all you dudes with 1.8T AWW engines, that connection at the
turbo-to-intercooler is pretty week. They had replaced a hose clamp
with “quick release.” You’ve got to see this thing to believe it. I
wonder what the aftermarket for this part looks like?
Persistance
Sometimes some things won’t ever get done. That’s the same with my paper. I don’t think I can write it. I’m bored by the subject. I don’t feel like doing it. I’m stuck.
Like watching a hole fill with dirt, it’s going to be the end of me.
Good Times. Good Times.
This is some old shit! Thanks to the Wyman for this video. Of course I saw this when you do a name search of me on google. This is some old shit!
The only question is where the big W? And what happened to Dennis Min?

2 Study for Spec. and Recs.
3 Finish final course paper for Software Arch.
4 Study for Software Arch.
5 Ironing
6 Christmas shopping
I need some type of medication. Calgon, take me away!
Not what I needed
My car might have given up the ghost today. It’s not dead, but it sure is acting like it’s on its last legs. Just the other day I had spoken ill of her and today she wants to pay me back.
On my ride home, I stepped on the gas. Clunk! Whirr! Oh, no! It sounded like the turbo going. Nothing but a bad whine. That can’t be good. I limped home. Barely. She was throwing codes and the dashboard lights started coming on. That can’t be good. EPC. Check engine. The battery light as well. As I neared home, she was also stalling out. Gosh, I don’t need this now.
I’m going to have to drop her off at the dealer tomorrow.
