One of the things you can do on the weekend: go to a show. So I'm seeing "Tomahawk", a band featuring Mike Patton of Faith No More fame. Of course, his other bands have been a little out-of-the-mainstream. You might even say they are "alternative". Not "alternative" like how mainstream bands are now, but alternative like, an entire album of string quartet with loud eating noises over it. Myep. Anyhow, this band is supposed to be more like a typical rock band, with lyrics and choruses and things. Can't wait.

In the meantime, I'll apply pine-sol to half my house. The kitchen and bathrooms are now in VG+ condition; I can't wait to clean up the rest of the house so I can have some visitors over. Of course, my visitors will most likely be my friends, so they've already seen what my house looks like clean. Oh well.

The other day, hank described SUV drivers as being aggresive and inconsiderate because they are "safe in their magic invulnerable tanks". My brain seems to like this description a lot, because now when I drive, I'm always muttering about magic invulnerable tanks. It's a very good articulation of the SUV attitude, though. Just last night, some guy in one of those Lexus SUV things almost drove straight into the side of my car instead of stopping at his stop sign.

ow, jesus. Contact lens pain. I should wash em before I leave for Tomahawk. Ok. Funny how distracting it is when something is POKING you in the EYE.

A Krispy Kreme donut place opened in Issaquah. I hear people are standing in line for up to four hours to get donuts there. My friend Jake went there at midnight and the wait was only 90 minutes. Anyway, people are going truly psycho over the availability of a new donut brand. I had the opportunity to try some a couple days ago. Verdict: Krispy Kreme donuts are covered in sugar, and have more sugar in the actual dough than a typical donut. They're like donut-flavored candy. The jelly donut was so sweet, the jelly was a relief from sugar rather than a sweet center. So one is good, two is a little much. I like sugar, but I'd rather have an old-fashioned chocolate-frosted from Family Donut. Plus, the wait is, on average, zero minute there.

I paid a fuckin insurance bill I didn't have to pay yesterday. On Kauai earlier this year, I hit a guy's illegally parked rental car (parked in the middle of the lot, behind me) with the rental SUV my mom got (note to self: never ever drive an SUV again) and left two white scratches on top of the bumper. Feeling a little oafish, I left my business card under their windshield wiper in case it caused them hardship. Last month, the claims department from their rental car company started hounding me about paying for damages. Technically, since my mom rented the SUV, it is her responsibility. But she told me on the phone, quote, "can you just pay for it, because it would affect my insurance premiums if I did". That's mom for ya. Always protecting me from big corporations. (Like that time she ratted me out to AT&T (they had already dropped the charge) and is now baffled as to why they would charge me an insane deposit in order to get long distance service. She thinks they should have rewarded her honesty!) So yeah obviously I've got a little resentment left over from that. Anyway, I paid it. Would it affect the premiums of a first time male driver, age 25 more than those of a mature woman? Gee, I think it would.
