No Way Jose



Single people should never make tacos.

The problem isn't in the making of the tacos. They are quick, cheap and easy. The problem is that it's impossible to split the recipe, thereby forcing you to eat tacos for the rest of your natural life or until you get so annoyed, you banish the items to the back of the fridge and wait until they produce penicillin that you can hawk on the black market.

And I'm sure some of you are going to say, well why not just use 1/2 lb of meat instead? But, dear readers, you cannot do that because then you would have to split the spice packet of taco seasoning and can of tomato sauce and that confusion can only lead to taco pandemonium.

Nope, the only surefire way to avoid total chaos is to make the normal amount and suffer through the endless days of Mexican overload that follow.

Ugh.

Pass the Metamuscil

Okay, so I admit, I've been slacking on blogging. But in my defense, Jamieland has been quite boring, what with the snow, no hippie roommate or excess money floating around to buy entertainment. Oooh, that totally sounded like I buy hookers, which I do not. Buy PC entertainment. That won't give me an STD. Or a baby. Anyways...so since the last blog I have had a birthday. I am now 27. Which doesn't sound too bad to most people, but if you ask a 27 year old how that sounds, it sounds less like "twenty-seven" and more like "Danger, Will Robinson, Danger!". A few weeks before my birthday I made the mistake of watching a 1970s science fiction film called "Logan's Run". It was actually entertaining. A bit campy but the majority of films in the 70s had cheese oozing out of every pore, in my opinion. The plot of the movie was simple, and mimicked the book closesly. It takes place in a future time when Earth is so overpopulated that new regulations

Scary Stuff

I quite possibly just had a heart attack. After several weeks of slowly going through each box/bin/drawer/closet/cabinet in my house to declutterize, I am finally finished. I have a pile of boxes with items to take down to my parents house for their garage sale in the living room, along with some boxes I had emptied so broke them down and put them in the storage closet on my deck. A few even had bubble wrap in them, hooray! Like all Americans, I adore bubble wrap so it has really taken every ounce of will in my body to not sit there and pop it all. Today, I was putting the last of the "keep" bins back in the storage closet. I had to readjust my weight to push the tub up onto the shelf when suddenly there was a loud *Bang*, obviously the sound of a car backfiring. Even though I live in a pretty affluent area, that sound is very similar to a gunshot, so the natural instinct is to dive for cover. That, however, is not really an option when you are essentially holding a 20

I am freakin hilarious.

This is an open post to Carrie, to let her know that in case our books don't arrive I've got her (our) back(s). I found this email I wrote to this company in November, 2007 regarding a calendar I had ordered that hadn't arrived. I have to say it cracked me up. So, without futher adeiu (I just realized I don't know how to spell that), I give you "Angry Consumer Jamie": Are you guys kidding me? On Friday it will have been 3 months since I placed my order. I have only received one email from your shit company since then, and only after I emailed you twice regarding the status of my order. I have emailed you since then and have not heard a peep from your company. That leads me to several conclusions: #1: you are a scam and stole my money without any promise of merchandise intended #2: your employees were in some freak accident which lowered their IQ to that of a slightly retarded water buffalo and you feel bad (perhaps you were behind the wheel of the bus tha
