Well, that's a relief. Took my chariot into the shop yesterday, for the dreaded smog check, and got away fairly clean. Passed all tests, and it only cost me $36. So my car gets to get its tags without hassle for another couple of years. Thank goodness for small favors.
Hey, remember those computer upgrades that were supposed to happen at my office? You know, where all the old computer's were going to be replaced with updated equipment, so there would no longer be outdated applications and hardware causing problems in the office. That upgrade. Well, I don't want to shock you, but it never happened. I mean, my computer got a system software update, and the boss's daughter got a laptop to play with, but the rest of it? Nope. No real desire to spend the bucks to make things better in the office. Of course, the illustrious owner still has the cash to make her regular trips to Hawaii and Palm Springs and pay her country club fees. Good to know how much she values her business and the employees who keep her rich.
Currently watching: in addition to a shitload of movies off the cable channels, I've seen the return of The Henry Rollins Show on IFC (Friday nights, 8 PM Pacific time). Henry's show has always been hit or miss; the opening monologue, the interview, and commentary pieces are usually interesting, the musical guests often less so. But where else can you see a tatted-up guy shouting "Fuck you" to George W. "Cocksucker" Bush every week? That's flavor country.
