Ok, so my friend Brian sent this to me, and it’s just freaking hilarious. It makes me laugh just a little bit. I think this is just plain awesome!

[edit] made the video show up after the bump because it autostarts and I hate that.

George Carlin passes away at 71

I just read some devastating news this morning while reading my dailies, and I saw that George Carlin passed away due to heart failure. He went to St. John’s Health Center Sunday afternoon and passed away later that day. I’m just devastated! I just remember he was such an influence in comedy, and a great actor too! I loved him in any of the Kevin Smith movies, especially Dogma. It was just wrong! But totally George Carlin.

I remember one of my favourite routines was when he asked how do you ship “stuff”. I was just rolling on the floor when he talked about any of that. He was pretty raunchy, but that’s ok, he was still pretty damn funny.

George Carlin will truly be missed.

My sister and I went up to Mt. Rainier this week, and went to Narada Falls, which is on the way up to Paradise. The water was flowing pretty good, and we were getting sprayed on while I took this photo. Lots of fun!

Snow at Mt. Rainier

So this week, my sister and I went up to Mt. Rainier. There was snow. It was insane. I would have never imagined walking in the snow in the middle of June.

PODS and moving

Perhaps you’ve seen the commercials or the ads or you just plain saw one of those storage things out in a parking lot called “PODS”. It stands for Portable On Demand Storage. Well, my parents decided to move from the east coast (NJ) to here (WA) and they decided to have PODS ship their household goods. Yes, that’s right, you can load up a PODS and they’ll deliver it for a fee (in this case about $4,000) for you. They also have people who will pack your stuff for you too. (more on this in a bit.)

So my parents, after closing on their house and moving in after staying for about a week with us, called the PODS people (I keep thinking Invasion of the body snatchers when I talk about these guys) and they told my parents they would deliver the PODS unit on Monday (6/16) and pick it up on Tuesday (6/17). That sounded good, except they didn’t specify a time of when they were going to drop it off. Hmmm.

So come Monday, after Meesh works on Sunday to take off Monday, the PODS hadn’t showed up by 10am. After my mom talked to PODS and with a lot of “Please hold” going on, we finally find out just what happened. At first, the lady at PODS told us that the PODS unit was delivered to the wrong warehouse and was 100 miles away. We were told that it would be delivered to Everett, WA, which is indeed about 100 miles away. So we weren’t even sure what was going on there. But come to really find out, the only reason they didn’t deliver it on Monday was… (drum roll here) all their drivers were out sick, and there were no drivers to deliver it.

What. the. fuck.

seriously. So no one could have called in the AM saying “hey btw, we don’t have any drivers so we’re rescheduling your drop off to another day”? No one could have said something about rescheduling? Don’t they have back up drivers? Come on. That’s totally wrong.

Mysteriously, after my mom complained to them, telling them that Meesh took the day off just because they said they were going to be there, and that no one called for a status update, they were on the phone calling them constantly telling them what was going on. I’m sorry, but the damage is already done. You guys screwed up PODS. I will never recommend your service to anyone. Ever.

Princess ‘caught frolicking naked’

Princess ‘caught frolicking naked’ Is it really that big of a deal? Shouldn’t she be able to do what she wants anyways, as the Princess? I think they’re allowed to be a little eccentric.
