Damn Jennifer Beals still looks fine. Actually, I should correct that. She looks even better than she did back then. Granted, there are a lot of attractive older people in the world, and she’s only 39, but it just seems weird that someone known for being sexy 20 years ago looks even better now. If I didn’t know who she was I would probably guess she was in her early 20s. Younger than me.<\/p>\n
I have a birthday in 3 days, and I don’t even really know what I want. I guess there are a whole bunch of truck accessories that I want, but nothing terribly exciting. A CB, might be cool. And the monster truck tires. And fixing the handle on my trunk. Hmmmm… I have to think if there’s anything cool that I want. Oh I know… a Flat panel monitor. There… everyone paying attention? See, that wasn’t terribly exciting. Maybe I’ll think of something cooler later.<\/p>\n
Made all the decisions on Jammy Jam contest prizes. Thank you to everyone who provided suggestions. I also have my outfit ready. So now its just time for the boring part… waiting til Saturday. <\/p>\n
And God am I bored… I’ve just not cut out for this bum stuff… I’ve only been out of work less than a week and I’m already bored senseless.<\/p>\n
