Misti and I both laughed for 5 minutes straight the other night while driving down E. McCarran. We pulled up to a red light next to one of those stupid tricked out ugly import cars. Every few seconds the guy would rev his engine so he would be cool (or something - whatever: he looked and sounded like an idiot). The light turned green and he hit the gas, but he let the clutch out too fast and the car stalled. It was so hilarious, we seriously busted up and laughed all the way home. I think he saw us laughing, which just made it even that much funnier. He got beat off the line by a plain ol' family car with a carseat and a baby in the back seat. It was great!   =)   Speaking of which, I shouldn't neglect to mention that this is the first year that I've ever actually watched any NASCAR on TV. The dorks on the radio always rave about it, so I figured I had better at least pause on that station long enough while channel surfing to get the general idea. You know, it's actually not as boring as I thought it would be. I've now watched it for about a total of 5 minutes over two days, and I've already seen two accidents, a car on fire, and enough road rage to make the morning commute look like a Sunday drive. By the way, if you're anything like I am, you probably don't know what NASCAR stands for: "National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing".

Valentine's Day this year was awesome. Misti made me a 'candy letter' (a huge poster-size card with a storyline about how we met, with all appropriate words substituted by real candies and candy bars). Misti's present was a 23-step indoor and outdoor scavenger hunt for some goodies. Becca gave me the best little Valentine's Day card with her little scribblings on it. She also made one for her mommy last Sunday in Nursery, with her little photo on it and stickers. It is very cute!   =)

Tonight we watched part of "Payback" (the blue Mel Gibson movie) - it was an edited version on TV (on the TBS Superstation). It's a pretty good flick, if you subscribe to the whole vigilante concept.

Misti made a strange observation today. Most showers have either a frosted glass door or a shower curtain that keeps the water contained. Most of these don't go all the way up to the ceiling, which, I suppose, let's the steam escape over the shower door/curtain toward the fan or the window for ventilation. So why, then, does a rush of steam roll across and fog up the mirror when you open up the door/curtain? It's already had a chance to vent, so why is there so much still in there after the water is shut off (and hence not producing any more steam)?

The people that live below us stink so much! They smoke 5 or 6 cartons a day, and the smoke rises up through the vents or something, despite the filters that the apartment complex installed for us. It's quite disgusting. We're most likely going to move in a few months because of it. They also reuse their cooking grease or something, because anytime they cook something, it just smells so rancid! BLEH! They also never get dressed for the day, just wander around in their pajamas. Who lives like this? Gross.
