Argh. I wanted to watch the commentary on the House DVDs tonight, but my DVD player is being a pain and skipping and pausing and stuff. I can get about five seconds of show followed by about ten seconds of garbage. It was working fine when I was watching the silly things like the blooper reel, but now that I want to watch an actual episode, not working.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
maybe the disc is dirty or scratched. Take a look at the bottom side. If it has ick, wipe with a clean soft cloth from center out, not in circles.

I don't think it's the disc. Thanks, though. It's happened with a few different discs. Usually, hitting pause, then rewinding for a few seconds and then playing again will fix it, but this time, nothing is working.
This is a dual DVD/VCR, and lately, neither side has been working right. The VCR has been refusing to eject tapes -- it'll push the tape out, and then a second later, pull it back in. The only way to actually get a tape out is to grab it in the second that it's out, and then hold on while the VCR tries to pull it back in. Also, for some reason, the power button isn't working -- every time I turn it off, it turns back on a second later.
My mom was asking me a little while ago what I wanted for my birthday. I think I might be asking for a new DVD player. (What I really want is a digital SLR, but that's way to expensive for a birthday that's not a round number. So, either wait two more years for 30 (yikes!), or maybe it could be for graduation. Getting a doctorate deserves a digital SLR, right?)

All is well that ends in pizza.
Gas prices dropped to $2.999 in some parts of Minnesota today.
Hmmmm.

We're down to $3.54 some places. Better than it was, but not as nice as $2.99! Who would have thought even two years ago that I'd consider $2.99 a bargain?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Yesterday I was totally excited to see that the cheapest station in SF is down to $3.69.
No, wait. I misremembered. $3.59!

Why are gas prices in New Jersey always cheaper than the surrounding states? It's pretty much always been that way, and I could never figure out why, especially since New Jersey mandates full-service gas stations, which you'd think would push the prices up.
