this n that.

It's supposed to hit 111 degrees today and there is currently ash falling from the sky.  Kinda weird.

I try to not want things but I'm often not successful.   I want this.  createdestiny says I can't have it cause it's too freaky.  She also says I can't have a tarantula or bulldogs, all of which I also want.  I might have to break up with her if she doesn't get her mind right.

superhappytime is listing the '110 best musical groups ever' on his LJ.  He's up to 30-21 here.  He puts Modest Mouse above R.E.M. Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Replacements.  Go mock his musical choices.

While I am riding my bike at the gym I glance at everybody that walks by.  Sitting on that thing for an hour is boooring.  Yesterday I noticed a college aged woman (or maybe high school) walking around hitting various machines. She was in pretty good shape and was wearing super tight and super short shorts.   She sat down and started doing this machine that works the inner thigh muscles.  You basically push your legs together against resistance.  After she had been on this for a while I noticed a dude walk by that was probably in high school. He was probably considered pretty unattractive by his peers.  Stocky, heavy metal hair, early era Metallica look to him. Serious acne.
Anyway, he is walking by when he spots the chick on the thigh machine and it's like he's hit with a fish hook, the way his head jerks towards her.  He immediately walks over to her and sits down in the machine next to her, which is another leg machine of some sort, but faces the opposite direction, so he's looking at her when he sits down.  He doesn't change the weight on the machine, just starts sort of using it while staring directly at her crotch as she tries to work out.  She, of course, immediately notices this, stops and gives him a 'you've got to be kidding me' death ray glare.  He doesn't care.  She gets up and leaves for another machine.  He does a 2 more leg lifts, gets up and starts walking to the locker room.  As he walks towards the locker room he is pulling on the fabric in the crotch of his pants.
Ugh. I wanted to slap him. He makes our entire gender look bad.

Also yesterday, I stopped by the post office to mail a package.  The dude in front of me in the line gets up to the counter, puts down a bag from Target, empties a bunch of misc, unwrapped crap on the counter top and says he has to mail it.  He has no packaging materials. He expects the post office lady to do it for him. 
I have seen this often in the past and they usually do wrap it for the moron, causing huge delays in the line.  This time, even though I was the only person in line (shortest I've ever seen it) the lady pointed to the display of packaging materials in the lobby and said "Get a box from there, which you will be charged for, you can use this tape, take it over to that empty countertop and wrap it up, address it and come back here when you are done.'  Yay!  I was very happy she did this.  And it kept me from having to make some snarky comment to the loser.

I set up an account on Last.fm last year or so and used it for awhile but createdestiny played music on my computer too and corrupted my listings.  Since then I got a new computer and never set up Last.fm scrobbling on Amarok but I just did.  My username is dewd89, if you want to add me.
