Toenail Poll

The results are in and there's no hanging chads. I'm sure you always wanted to know what others do with the clippings from their toenails. Well now you know.

43% of you leave them there on the floor as God intended
29% Photograph them and sell them on eBay
No one seems to have a collection of toenail clippings
And a small percentage of weirdos carry them to the trash and throw them away

Click here to see the official results. A new poll will be coming soon right after I think one up.

Pics from my trip home

Here's the albums for my trip home. Did it in 7 days this time instead of 5. That includes a day and a half long ferry ride from JNU to Prince Rupert, CAN (Canada...grumble, grumble). I stopped off in Bozeman, MT to visit the Museum of the Rockies. I was going to visit Mount Rushmore, but had to cut my trip short do to Toyota troubles (see note under my list of Things I Could Do Without). I figure it will still be there the next time I travel the country so I can see it later. It's not like they're going to remodel it and replace President Lincoln with Bill Clinton or Millard Fillmore.

O cruel fate, why dost thou tempt me?

On my trip up to Alaska I had many songs burned onto CDs. I thought for sure that I had plenty for the trip. The only problem was that I didn't ever want to stop to switch the CDs in my disk changer. I only bothered to do it once. So I ended up listening to the same CDs over and over 16 hours a day. I now have a strong contempt for many of those songs, one of which was "Free And Easy" by Dierks Bentley. It wasn't one of my all-time favorites to begin with, and it certainly wasn't after listening to it 37 times. Whose evil trick was it to have that song be in the top 10 on the radio at the same time as my trip back to Michigan? Let me know so I can kick their @$$.

In My Room (Sung in High Octave Falsetto)

Since I'm now moved out I thought it would be a good idea to finally post how my room in Alaska looked.

I'm back

As most of you know, I'm back in MI now. If you didn't...surprise! Not sure what I'm going to do about this blog. I'm not a Fudgie in Juneau anymore. Pretty soon I'll post the harrowing tale of my trip here along with the photos I took driving by at highway speeds.

Until then, I'll post my everyday ramblings that you've grown so fond of. This morning I brushed my teeth. Then I ate my leftover subway sammich. Then I...no, just kidding.

I applied for three jobs this morning. One as a bank teller, heh heh. One as a van driver for what I can assume is the elderly and infirm. And one at a carbide cutting manufacturing plant in Lewiston. That one was the hardest. I was trying to print out a nice envelope to mail my resume (pronounced reh-zoom). I wasted at least 5 good envelopes. The first few were lost to paper jams until I figured out how to load it properly. I printed the next one and realized I'd spelled 'carbine' instead of 'carbide'. When I printed the next one and thought I had it all worked out and was ready to mail, I realized I spelled the lady's name wrong that it was attention to. Who spells their name Triscia anyway? Hookers and cesspool salesmen, that's who.

Side note: this evening I'm applying for more jobs online. I was checking the Bay City Tribune for listings. I looked at all the jobs. Just for funsies I checked out all the apartments for rent, homes for rent, homes for sales, RV and trailer lots for rent, et cetera. After I was all done and satisfied I noticed the tag after the title of the newspaper. "Matagorda County's Leading News Source Since 1845." Matagorda County? There's no Matagorda County in MI. I had been looking at the Bay City, TX newspaper.
