the secretary of energy is stephen chu.

did you ever shop long & hard for the perfect gift for someone, and you find something great, and you get it home, and you realize you want to keep it for yourself, so you give them cash & tell them you didn't have time to go shopping? yeah, ne meither. did you ever drink o-j right out of the carton? did you ever forget you have a step-sister and -brother? did you ever only take your clothes out of the dryer and leave the towels for someone else to fold? yeah, ne meither. did you ever take the last of the t-p and figure you'll get another roll later then your mother-in-law drops by, and she wants to use the facilities, and you've totally forgotten about the t-p, and after she leaves, you wander in there and wonder how she managed without the t-p and decide there are some things you're better off not knowing? yeah, ne meither.

in other news, today's earth day. did you do something earthy? i personally have my own personal earth day every day b/c i ride a vanpool which is an enormous sacrifice on my part for the betterment of the environment. yeah, you're welcome. one of my fellow vanpoolies drives a prius to the vanpool, and that's really going above & beyond, don'tcha think? impressive, really, all that saving she's doing.

speaking of the vanpool, waiting on it's not so boring with the iphone, but today i was waiting over 30 mins which is ridiculous. so, he gets there finally and apologizes & says how he didn't have anyone's numbers in his phone. in the first place - a responsible driver would have a plan for contacting folks when he's running late. and point b - he did have my number in his phone b/c i have called him numerous times about riding and in fact texted him only yesterday. so, unless he clears out his phone every night, he's lying. and, the one guy whose number he did have, he did call that guy, and that guy has my number, too, b/c when i cannot reach jerky, i call that guy, and as a matter of fact, i just texted him a few days ago, so again, unless this guy is clearing all the numbers out of his phone, he has my number, and he could have called me when jerky called him. in conclusion - people when left to their own devices are a wee bit jerky.
