So back when I was in the crazy shopping mood around Christmas, I went around and bought a lot of clothes on-line. One of my online orders (two polo shirts) was from December 28th. I got an e-mail receipt of my purchase and a link to a yahoo-store thing that would keep track of my order. Under order status it was blank. I figured after a while, it would say "processing", or "shipped" or something like that. But alas, it never did. Two weeks ago, I finally e-mailed the customer service web address. Two weeks passed and I never received an e-mail back. hmmmm..... So today while I had off (it was crazy snowing and I didn't feel like driving into work + other reasons....) I called the customer service phone number. After ringing a couple of times I got a message saying that this mailbox is full. And then it hung up. WTF. I tried again later and some girl answered. After giving her my order and saying "i just want to know what is happening with it", She mumbled something about how the girl who used to work here didn't take anyone's orders or something and they're still trying to rectify all of it and blah blah blah and then she told me to hold so she could see if they had any of the clothes i ordered. She came back after a minute and told me that they were all out of the things i ordered and if i wanted to look on-line to find something else to order, i could do that.
Thanks, but no thanks you stupid cunt. seeing as how both things i ordered are still showing "available" on the website, i doubt that whatever else i would choose would be there either.
Luckily they never charged my credit card, so i just told her to cancel my order. That was by far, the worst experience ever with online ordering. It was a really cool polo shirt too :( I looked all over the internets to see if i could find it and it was nowhere to be found. ugh. I hate when clothing manufacturers don't have their own on-line store or a real store and they just use other retailers to sell their clothing. And many of those stores don't have websites that show what they are selling, so it's nearly impossible to ever find anything. LAME! so never buy anything from Solis clothing. They're tacky and i hate them.

You're killing me!
On Friday, Newark, NJ celebrated it's first month-long span without a murder since a 40-day stretch back in 1963. Now I know nothing about crime stats in big cities, but was anyone else aware of that Newark is the crazy killing capital of the world? I guess ignorance is bliss. It's not like this bit of knowledge is going to prevent me from ever going there - I already was never going to go there. This just adds fuel to the fire (or dead Jews to the Auschwitz fire if you prefer).
Are these killings though, mercy killings? Are the murderers doing their victims a favor? Is Newark better than hell? Probably not. It might feel like hell, but I suspect it's much worse.
But according to a 2006 survey, Newark was only ranked as the 22nd most dangerous city in the United States overall, out of 371 cities included nationwide. I know there are crimes other than murder (breaking my heart, for one), but are there seriously worse places than Newark? Let alone, 21 of them? I didn't know America was such a hotbed for evil and depravity. It's still the best country evar though and totally destroys every other country. America is like the Lindsay Davenport of the female tennis game. We are bigger than the rest. More powerful than the rest. Will punish you if you give us an opening to do so. And will win the gold in the '08 Olympics in Beijing this summer.

Dumb as Paint
I'm currently painting my kitchen.
I have a regular 9" roller that I use for walls and a smaller 4" roller that I use for this and that.
A 3-pack of 9" rolls cost $9.97.
A 2-pack of 4" rolls cost $4.97.
After I got home and actually looked at my receipt and comprehended what just happened, I soon realized that I can just buy 9" rolls, cut them in half and then I would have a 6-pack of 4" rolls for $9.97 -- thereby saving $5.oo
I'm not poor or anything, but I understand the concept of value.
I would say this is the last time I shop at Lowe's or buy Shur-Line Premium Select rolls, but I know that'd be a lie. I'll sure show them!

How She Suck
Last night I was forced into seeing a movie that I didn't want to see - How She Move. Let me list the reasons I did not want to see this movie.
1) I knew it was going to be bad
2) the title is grammatically incorrect.
3) even if the title wasn't all slanged up, it's still a stupid name for a movie and it makes me not want to see it.
4) I knew it would be too "urban" for me
5) I don't care to support black entertainment
That being said, I have in the past totally dismissed everyone when they were seeing a movie of such horrible caliber,"Crossroads" being a prime example that pops into my head, but I thought that this movie would at least be ok, because it would be fun to see it with the people I was with and we could make the bad movie be good. Unfortunately, this movie was beyond hope. It was so bad that even the black people in the audience did not even like it. and that's saying something, because black people looooove black entertainment - case in point: any movie that starts with "Tyler Perry presents:..."
So let me count down the reasons this move was bad:
1) the plot was dumb
2) the "stepping" wasn't even that great. I've seen better.
3) the acting was even worse.
4) the majority of the cast was black
5) there was not enough "black talk" such as "what up homes?" and "fuck you, nigga!" there was none of that :( There was a point in the movie where one girl called another girl a bitch and i LOLed. that was probably the best part of the movie.
the craziest thing is that if you go to rottentomato.com, it got a 71% freshness rating?!?! and all the reviewers are older white people. Maybe they're just trying to appear cool and "with it", and not appear racist. Well, I for one, do not care how i appear. I tell the truth. and this movie was more lifeless than a man hanging from a tree. That's how I move, yo! peace out.

crazy bitch
Natalee Holloway is back!
back from the dead?
no.
she's a permanent fixture in hell, and ain't nothing going to get her out of that K-hole.
but her case has been re-opened due to some new "confession" obtained from some Dutch journalist back in May 2005. All the stories have the word 'confession' in quotation marks, but it seems more logical to me to put the quotation marks around the word 'new' instead, seeing as the "confession" is from three years ago. but that's just me....
....And who is this "confession" from?!?!
you guessed it - Mary Kate Olsen.
Everyone knows that she is a cold-blooded murderer. She obviously killed Heath Ledger for not paying the rent on time. It's a sad story, really. justified. but sad.
and now with this new "confession", it's apparent that Heath Ledger was not Mary Kate's first satiation for blood. You see, it's my opinion that this "celebrity blood diet" that she is on is what is keeping her so beautifully thin. I'm glad she found something that works for her, and it's obviously working wonders (her hip bones are amazing!) but I'm just afraid of who she's going to knock-off next. She obviously has a taste for actors, since she's just added Heath Ledger to her list of victims, placing his name right under Brad Renfro. I just hope she doesn't set her sights on FPJ. SMG would be so devastated! and I don't think I can bear to see a distraught SMG. OMG!
