Very quick update

Very quick, since it's 7am and I'm waiting for Asia to wake up for breakfast. So, my camera gave me a fatal "lens error" within 6 hours of arriving to London. Trina, this means I'm going DSLR in the very near future, and Nikon is starting to look better.

In the meantime, Asia's 2MP camera phone will have to do (doh...)

I've almost died a couple of times, rode a bike while intoxicated, and gone to a haunted house type thing under the London bridge. Oh yeah, it is FUCKING COLD. Boo for the Thames being so cold.

Still up is Stonehenge, possibly Loch Ness, def Amsterdam, very likely Paris (which will be the third time I'm there in cold, cold January. But, no complaints from me! :oD

A very merry christmas to all at home, happy new year's as well.

I'm a broken record.

I've recommended it before, and I'll do it again. A movie. 13 (Tzameti). I just watched it again, 2 years after my initial viewing, and it's still great, if not better, than I remember. Probably on of my favorite movies of all time, and I don't see it getting bumped in my lifetime.

2 things:

1) it's subtitled because it's in French
2) it's black and white

It's slow going in the beginning, but give it a chance. There's many "holy shit" moments, and it's very intense and dark. You won't be disappointed to invest your time in this one.

Correlation = ?

So, I'm driving to Vegas a week ago and I see this


Then, I'm driving around in East LA yesterday trying to find a Walmart before my Asian supermarket shopping and I see this


$1.699! I haven't seen these prices since high school, and as I'm filling up my tank (for a measly $25), I realize that I don't really care about the price of gas itself (I've never had a problem paying for my gas). What's more worrysome is that I no longer drive conservatively. I'd rather burn more fuel and pay the same as I ever did, then conserve and save money, fuel, and environment. I'm gettin' while the gettin's good.

EX: When gas was $5/gallon here in CA this summer, I maintained a constant speed, tailgated truck for the slipstream, and coasted more. Now, I'm frequently over 100 on the way to/from Vegas, hard acceleration, braking, and cornering.

Theory: As the price of gas goes down, repair costs inversely increase. Chances of getting a ticket increase. Chances I buy a more powerful, gas-guzzling vehicle increase, which then increases my repair costs and ticketing opportunities exponentially.

Therefore: Lower gas prices increases my likelihood of being killed behind the wheel.

Maybe this is why I don't recycle. I (like Barney) know a dead cause when I see it.

Find me!

I hope I'm not the only person who finds this hilarious!
