Give that kid an A

I think I wasted my early school years by not writing essays like these.

What are you asking me for?

Here's something that bugs me and I'm not sure of the reason. I don't like it when a slogan or tagline asks me a question. For instance, Capital One is always asking me what's in my wallet? When I was growing up Kellogg's was asking everybody "What do your Rice Krispies say to you?", a few years back McDonald's was obsessed with finding out "Have you had your break today?", more recently the commercials for that movie The Day After Tomorrow kept asking "Where will you be?" (Get it, the day after tomorrow? hahaha oh man). Also, I'm pretty sure the tagline for the Back to the Future movies was "What are you looking at, butthead?" You get the idea. Is there a number I can call to give my answers to these incessant questions? Man, what a dumb convention.

Sunrise like a nosebleed

I'm fighting to keep my eyes open here at work this morning, so the purpose of this post is primarily to keep me awake. My apologies.

Something semi-interesting happened this morning on the way to work. I take the metro-bus to and from downtown every day to avoid commuter traffic and to save money on gas. Plus, the company pays for my bus pass so it's really a win-win situation. Anyhow, on this morning's drive our driver hit a truck. It wasn't anything serious. There was a line of cars waiting at a red light to turn from Kingwood Dr to 59 South, and the bus came over the bridge a little too fast, slammed on the brakes and rear-ended a white Ford F-150. Luckily it was a tough truck. It pulled over real quick, the dude hopped out and checked his rear fender, then waved the bus on because there was no damage. Most of the people in the bus were worried we were gonna have to wait for the driver to do paperwork business and be late for work, but it didn't happen. Homeboy in the truck is the lucky one though because he gets to tell people "I got hit by a bus this morning." Lucky jerk.

Earlier I had to leave my office and walk around for a little bit to wake myself up some. I went down in the tunnel and discovered it connects to some mall-like building across the street. The locals call it the Houston Center. They've got a food court and everything and I noticed there's a Chic-Fil-A in there so I think I'm gonna make that my official lunch stop for next week. I'm obviously gonna finish out this week at Quizno's. Yesterday I got one of their Mesquite Chicken with Bacon sammiches and it was tasty. For today's finale, I'm thinking about going with the Traditional.

Ok, I've killed about 12 minutes. Back to the wonders of Microsoft Excel.

Of Quizno's and Quidditch

About six weeks ago Rella announced he was to compile his entire list of recommended movies, deeming it his "Greatest Task ever undertaken." The world knows nothing of what came of this list. However, we here at Jukkity would like to direct your attention to a list that will surely frighten and confuse you. The 10 Worst Album Covers of All Time. Be afraid and enjoy.

On Monday I discovered that there's a Quizno's Subs in the underground tunnel system located beneath downtown Houston. I celebrated this discovery by having a Honey Bourbon Chicken sandwich. Yesterday I went again and got a Turkey Ranch and Swiss. And today my lunch was a Classic Italian. I rejoice in my 3-day celebration of all that is Quizno's. Quizno's es muy bueno.

And speaking of doing things in a repetitive manner, I watched the Prisoner of Azkaban last night. I saw it the first time in Dallas on Sunday afternoon. Es also muy bueno. Current total: 2 and counting.
