I called my cable company to question the billing. The surly CS rep blew off my question: Was I getting charged for two DVRs or cable boxes? (We only have 1 DVR.) I was pissed and tweeted about it. Charter's twitter folks swooped in, offered to review my account. Sure enough, I've been charged for an additional converter box for a YEAR. He refunded $60 to my account and removed an annoying $1.99 fee.

Does anyone know where to find cool, cheap license plate frames? The Internet has everything; it has to have them. The best I can find is this cow print. And perhaps this zebra print. I could do one in the back and one in the front for a black-and-white theme. But there weren't many good choices; I was disappointed. Where is my Veronica Mars license plate frame, you know?
Also, what is the point of a license plate frame anyway?

P-C, I shopped for mine...oh, a decade ago...at Hot Topic, and got a nifty "Invader Zim" frame that says "STUPID HUMANS" around the edges.
Doesn't help you much, but...well, (shrug)

To inform the person tailgating you that you love Veronica Mars?
Why can't you just get a nipple piercing like all the other kids? Why must you assert your individuality this way?
Pierce your nipple with a little dangly gold bust of KB.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Somebody makes money on something you seem to think you need. Or maybe it's just less sticky than a bumper sticker.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Someone mentioned someone named Kristen Bell in my staff meeting yesterday, and we were all, "Wait, what??" I still don't know if it's a different person with the same name, or if the original commenter got the name wrong. (It was definitely not the actress.)

Heh. The license plate just looks sort of naked without a frame, though. And I need to change my frame because I am not going around advertising Oak Tree Mazda anymore.
I wanted to get Rice frames, but they're $25 each. Whatevs!
I feel like there must be a geeky license plate frame out there for me. The cow print could do in a pinch, but I think I can do better.

Hot Topic is not punk rock.

I was once behind an SUV with the rear license plate holder reading "There and Back Again" and the plate said "ARAGORN". Gee, I wonder what books they like to read???
IcompletelyON, here's a really sweet interview with Richard Hammond from the BBC's Top Gear done by a 7-year-old girl who's obviously enjoying herself immensely. And you can tell that he has kids of his own; he relates with her so well.

I phonebanked a guy named "Thomas Chong" yesterday...didn't say anything; I'm sure he'd heard it. But in my head, I said "No way!" Much as I liked that show, there is some thing about Bell's pixie appearance that brings out the same impulse I had to rip the heads off my Barbie dolls.
