Awhile back I was on a business trip to Philadelphia and saw this.
See the EZpass is not so easy. You have to be able to aim well too.

Domain or not to Domain
I guess its OK. It actually gave me a better way to manage my webpages.
Anyways. There’s something I’ve been thinking about… between Freddy Kruger and Edward Scissorhands who would win in a fight?
Domains
Do I really need another domain?
Just because I want to make sure its mine! MINE MINE MINE! and no one will take it…
Whats the point?
When I got this domain I was like 17 or something. It was just the IN thing to do. Now I own 2 domains and I pay $19 a year for them. Error42 and mymomsattic. None of which have made me money as of yet.
Maybe error42 will. Maybe it wont. It’s kinda just a pointless blog. If I pick up another domain, wont it just be another one of those needless things i pay for annually?
Stupid Inspection Sticker.
So NYS vehicles have to pass an emissions and safety inspection every year. You go to a licensed inspector and they check it out, if your car passes you get a sticker that you have to put on your windshield, Lower Left Corner (inside)
Yesterday morning I went to Pep-Boys to get my inspection sticker and oil change (PLAN A). Unfortunately my Check Engine Light was on. The reason it was on is because of a bad oxygen sensor in my car that I’ve been driving with for 3 years. The light goes on and off. They said they would need to do a diagnostic check ($9.99) and if they have to fix anything ($99/hour labor + parts) then the car may be able to pass inspection. I pleaded a little saying it is just a sensor that does nothing but all I got was a dumb look of confusion.
Eventually I said, don’t do the inspection, just change my oil.
After work I drove my car to flushing, thinking I can probably get a shady Asian Mechanic to pass my car ignoring the Check Engine Light (PLAN B). Unfortunately I got there too late and the guy was closing. So then I thought… “Gotta go to PLAN C”.
PLAN C.1: In flushing I looked up the nearest AUTOZONE. Autozone does free diagnostics checks. Mechanics charge anywhere from $9.99 to $49.99 for this diagnostics check. So I get to Autozone and the guy comes out to test the Check Engine Light (CEL). He reports that it is of course the Oxygen Sensor. So I say “Hey that’s great, can you reset the Check Engine light too?” To which he replies “We’re not suppose to do that…” So I say “Soooo can you do it anyway?” Eventually he gives up and says “Well we’re not suppose to but I guess its just an oxygen sensor”. He resets it and I’m on my way.
PLAN C.2: With the Check Engine Light now off, I rush over to R&S Strauss and ask them to inspect my car. It Passes! I get sticker and all is good in the world.
Thank You Autozone!
Rainy day asian
Just about 5 minutes ago I was walking from the apartment to the train station in the pouring rain.
As I reached the sidewalk staircase I began to close my umbrella. As I walked closing my umbrella I noticed a cute asian girl doing the same thing. In that single moment if noticing her my fingers slipped off of the canopy closing mechanism on my umbrella allowing the spring inside the metal shaft to shoot the canopy back open.
I was instantaneously red with embarrassment while at the same time, on the inside, laughing my ass off. As the canopy sprung open it launched all the rain on it in the direction of the girl, covering her in a shower of water. She turned to me in shock. All I could say was "I am so sorry, I am so so sorry". Without acknowledgment she just turned and walked down the staircase. As I walked behind her I couldn't help but smile and giggle.
Oh well. Maybe she'll go around and tell people how some Filipino guy got her wet this morning. Give something the office can talk about.
