WTF is up with all the old ladies with the Swarovski Crystals along the cuticle on their pedicures? Is this some kind of fashion accident gone awry? I’m thinking that at one point some young fashionista was the vanguard of this trend, but I generally only see it on “old ladies” or “someone’s mom” now.

Ok, looks like I have to apologize to Italy, almost. That water pump for the AE86 installed last night is correct, almost. I mic’ed it along with the new Japan one I picked up and the shaft measures the same. Must be Italian metric, just a hair too big. Taking a file to it, coating it with oil, and it finally went on. I sure hope it doesn’t become a problem to remove in the futur
(0)Former manga-ya minion Roy became a dad at 13:21 today to 3.1kg Zolie Akemi Heiser. Congratulations!
(0)Excuse me while I let loose a stream of obscenities over here. I just spent the last four hours cleaning and installing the new water pump, gaskets, associated fittings, and then I discovered that the water pump does not fit. Actually everything fits except the fan. The first thing I did was compare the pumps and the usual dimensions matched. Not used to working on car with mechanical fan, I did not realize the end of the shaft does not fit in the depression on the back of the fan! Needless to say I am super annoyed. And having installed the pump, I cannot return it. I’m going to have to get a new pump, gasket, take everything apart again. It’s past midnight and I’m having a beer. &!^%@#^!@$# (Oh, the pump was made in Italy)
(0)Dang it, see what happens when you get old. Both my Corolla’s have developed leaky problems now. My FX suddenly has started leaking rapidly. I had replaced that water pump not too long ago also, but didn’t have all the gaskets & o-rings so I guess my half-ass job is now coming back to haunt me. Bah. On top of that the starter/ignition key is really krapping out. I had to hot wire the FX four times today. At least I have all the gaskets, if I don’t take off the intake manifold…. Curses!
(0)Great – first it was Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe doing Ford F-series truck ads, now it’s Man vs. Wild host Bear Grylls doing Post Trail Mix Crunch cereal ads! Can you say “sell-out”?
(0)Well now, the Satan Box started working better after system restore of OS, DVDs burn in 15 min, card reader works, but sound still doesn’t, and then wouldn’t you know it, the power supply died on me last night. Maybe its underpowered. Annoying.
(0)Passed by a place on California Avenue advertising “cat boarding”. Is that anything like “waterboarding”? Someone better tell Dick Cheney – it sounds like it would be way more effective.
(0)WTF!? I awoke to the new “Dash and Diane” format on the KHNL morning news this morning. No Kristine anymore! Kuso! That sucks. I don’t have anything to look forward to in the morning now! It’s just like going back to Vancouver last year and discovering that the Breakfast Television format has been changed and the familiar hosts are gone! Bigfoot no like!
