“Run and hide, asshole. Run and hide. If you should be picked up next week buying a hundred-thousand dollar sports car in Newport Beach, I am going to be supremely disappointed. Because I want my people to find you, and when they do, rest assured we are not going to hand you over to the police. So my advice to you again is this: run and hide. That is all that I ask.”

Michael Phelps must be praising kami-sama for the start of baseball season and Alex Rodriguez. Ooops.
Went to DC to get some lunch at an all you can eat Filipino buffet. Picked up CapitolSwell at his house which is just down Connecticut Ave. Driving down the street and everyone was Sunday driving. What’s wrong with people! I pass them, but realize that it’s because of all the traffic cameras there to ensnare hapless motorists. Damn. I just hope that they were under repair as there was a maintenance vehicle with one of the boxes open while we cruised through at around 40 mph.
Leaving DC, it’s the same story.
“The worst thing that ever happened to me was on Christmas. Oh, God. It was so horrible. It was Christmas Eve.
I was 9 years old. Me and Mom were decorating the tree, waiting for Dad to come home from work. A couple hours went by. Dad wasn’t home. So Mom called the office. No answer. Christmas Day came and went, and still nothing. So the police began a search.
Four or five days went by. Neither one of us could eat or sleep. Everything was falling apart. It was snowing outside. The house was freezing, so I went to try to light up the fire.
That’s when I noticed the smell. The firemen came and broke through the chimney top. And me and Mom were expecting them to pull out a dead cat or a bird. And instead they pulled out my father. He was dressed in a Santa Claus suit. He’d been climbing down the chimney… his arms loaded with presents. He was gonna surprise us. He slipped and broke his neck. He died instantly.
And that’s how I found out there was no Santa Claus.”

It always ends with a kiss, but do they always continue as a couple? Probably not as the fun was getting to the kiss. It’s all down hill from there, and it will end real badly. When will someone write the romantic comedy of the breakup?

What a wonderful Saturday, I'll sleep in just a little…What's this nagging feeling I have…This is Friday…Oops….
Someone’s Bad Day

My daily commute has bail out route that is light ridden, but not heavy in traffic. You just have to know when to make the change. I chose poorly today. It looked normal, but as little as a hundred yards did it slow to a crawl. At least you can see the cause.
Ouch!
That’s not how to start a day.
This one is a problem with the fansubbers.
As you can see, they’re a bunch of amateurs. While I completely appreciate the fact that I can watch the latest season of anime from Japan in much the same time as the Japanese, I wish they would be more professional and take their time at presentation. Why is it that I can still read the comments one fansub member is leaving for another? Shouldn’t this have been scrubbed out before the burn session?
Or maybe this is a problem with .mkv implementation in VLC?
What wackness is that!
Another big oops for the open source and fansubbing community. Why am I downloading .mkv? It’s pretty much just nothing but trouble. Supposedly this video format allows better subtitling, but as you can see it’s implementation in VLC leaves a lot to be desired. I wonder who’s at fault here?
