The Red Baron has officially replaced the Blue Stallion. After 6 great years of driving my Civic, it is now garaged and up for sale. So in case you see me cruising around in this:
instead of this:
Don’t be alarmed.
My favorite comment I have gotten so far about the new car:
“whoa! that car seems so AZN! hAHAHHAHA!!!” – gracie
If I get a dog, I want a corgi. These guys are dope.
First thing new:
After hearing about the HBO show Entourage from a couple of my coworkers and seeing it on my way to work everyday on a 101N billboard, I finally have watched season 1… and I agree… the show is good. So good that I bought the season 1 and 2 DVDs off Amazon and am eagerly awaiting their arrival.
Second thing new:
Although it has been couple weeks since his haircut, I don’t think most people know about Toby’s new “do.” Here is the story behind his new haircut. Laurie just changed jobs so she took a family vacation to Cancun. While away she left Toby with her cousin Sharon in LA who also has a mini Yorkie (named Tubby). Sharon thought that Toby needed a haircut so her fiance took him to the groomer. The problem is that her fiance, Chuck, is Chinese and the groomer is Korean. Alas, due to the communication barrier, the groomer gave Toby the same “do” as Tubby. I think he still looks dope though. Here is shot of him passed out on my bed:
To go along with my previous post about companies that own me, I found out that another company has seemed to take over my… bathroom. Yes, you heard me. Phillips currently controls a large part of my personal hygiene. The Sonicare that I love so dearly is Phillips and that Norelco shaver… yea Phillips too. Here’s to you Phillips. Thanks for your dedication to improving my personal hygiene.
In case you are interested, here is my current Phillips tag team setup. I got this new Norelco shaver that comes with some crazy washing system off of Amazon for $50 (looks like they already raised the price though…).
So I mentioned the other day that my new favorite song was Crazy by Gnarls Barkley… Michelle sent me this hillarious video that proves I may not be the only person out there that likes the jam.

I realized today that I am a Google sucker… they pretty much own a good portion of my life (at least the data part that is). I took a look around this morning at what I was spending my time doing and I have subconsciously allowed Google to infiltrate my life. Here is my breakdown:
Email: I use gmail and don’t plan on changing any time soon. It is a little scary how Google owns all of my emails on their server and are parsing them to potentially figure something about me that I didn’t even realize.
Calendar: I don’t use gcaledar that much but I do have a few events on their. I use it mostly to keep track of my personal life rather than work, but again, they might have some ape pattern recognition running to figure out what particular activities I enjoy and who I do them with…
Groups: cptfunclub is pretty invaluable these days to keep up with the folks from cpt… and how else would it be possible to share stupid video links and talk trash at work.
Search: a no brainer and now throw in desktop search WITH the Google sidebar.
Reader: My chosen blog RSS reader… to keep up with the fast lives of many of my friends.
Analytics: Just installed this morning to track how little traffic I get to my site…
Maps: another no brainer… although, I do like Yahoo’s new beta. Google Earth is amazing BUT I never really use it.
Pictures: Picasa is pretty awesome. It works for me.
How much of your data does Google own?
