Food: Top 10 Fast Food Chains In Customer Satisfaction → consumerist.com

Great list…I must say though that Giordano’s does not really qualify for fast food. It is a sit down restaurant and those deep dish pizzas take 30 minutes to cook.

fascinatingryan:

In-N-Out Burger tops my list too.

iPhoto's Faces Recognizes Cats | Mac|Life → maclife.com
I wonder if it does cats since their faces are flatter, like humans, whereas most dogs have a pointed snout like nose and mouth… Just a thought.

I never though I'd say this, but...

God bless student loans.

Because I paid $434 in interest on a federal student loan last year, my numbers are now in the black and I don’t owe on my tax return this year!

I hate when people ruin the effect of a perfectly good quote by misquoting.

There is this guy I ride the train with every day, Sunday through Thursday, to and from work. He’s a visual mix of 2 former crushes and he has hearing aids which for some reason intensifies his adorableness. (No, he was not involved in the hearing impared drug deal I saw on the bus today)

Anyhow, I get on the bus tonight and he is wearing fucking Uggs. Now he is dead to me.

So if you have been trying to get me to stop noticing you, and you are a boy, let me see you in a pair of Uggs.

Things I would like.

- A Mac app or feature of iTunes that allows me to sort my iPhone icon pages on my Mac instead of dragging them with my finger on my phone.

- A widget for customers that would allow them to book appointments without having to log into their membership portal. If this could happen, it would make my existance even happier. Thank you.

Things I thought about during my morning commute today

- Since there is gps built into most of the buses, it would be nice if when one was a few minutes away from a stop, a light would flash. This way I’d know if it was worth waiting around for a bus or just walk to the train.

- There is this creepy nook like thing in the wall of the antique store I pass on the way to the train. Every morning, as I walk past it half asleep, I think there is someone crouched in there ready to jump out at me.

- I am enraged at people who take up the whole sidewalk and then get pussy when I wedge my way past them. Sorry bitches, it’s cold out and I have places to be. - why does this short lady in front of me in the pink fur coat and Hello Kitty bedazzled ballcap smell like spoiled milk?

- Does the guy who hands me my paper every morning at the train station ever wonder what jobs we are all going to? Does he enjoy distributing papers?

- 27 below zero is too cold. You don’t need to learn about email or photo editing that bad. Fucking nuts.

The problem with watching a movie or a TV show that takes place in California is that about half way through you realize they are going out on weekdays on a whim in jeans and t-shirts and you are inside because it is 12 degrees below zero out.

Yet, I love Chicago and there are few places I’d rather be.

Apple Faces Challenge To Its Role as Innovator

Apple Computer Inc., the Silicon Valley company that defined inventiveness and creativity in the personal computer industry, is engaged in an unfamiliar round of soul searching. Can the computer maker, both employees and supporters wonder, prove that it is still capable of innovation?

Not too happy...

I just did a mock run in Turbo Tax for my 2008 return, and unless Mr. W. Two has some different numbers than what I projected, it looks like I will be sending off a big old check to Uncle Sam this year. Damn those raises and their higher tax brackets!

Blah^10.

When Quicken does a scan of your checking account for items that occur on a regular basis to flag them as potential bills, having “Potbelly Sandwich Works” show up on the list means you have a problem.

Another pet peeve...

So, I consider myself relatively well travelled for my age. I have been to a few countries, most of which do not use English as their primary language. In Germany, for example, they call their country “Deutschland.” They have a few cities called “Köln” and “München” that in English are known as “Cologne” and “Munich.”

If I were to tell someone I had just come back from my vacation, and they asked where I had gone, I would not reply “Wien, Österreich,” I would say “Vienna, Austria.” - because I am not an obnoxious ass.

People who pull this kind of shit are as annoying to me as the fucking pretentious “cheque” and “colour” when you are in and from the United States. Drop dead.

New pet peeve

Websites that have a mobile version for phones and such with no option to view the real site in lieu of the stripped down version.

Suck^10.

I used to think that driving in Virginia would be the death of me. Now I’m convinced it’s the suburbs of Chicago. I will gradually go insane, slip into a vegetative state and die.

Please work faster, construction types. I need my store in the city :)

i support peace → news.bbc.co.uk

chumies:

I may work at a Jewish center, but I cannot say I support Israel. I cannot say i support Palestine. Look at this picture and tell me what you see. I dont’ see militants…i see innocent BABIES…who were MURDERED! and i’m sure there are photos like this one of Israeli fathers carrying their Israeli BABIES…that were MURDERED! All i am saying is that this conflict is WRONG! the Jews suffered at the hands of Hitler and all who followed it, and they deserve some type of holy land, or state or whatever you want to call it. But where do Palestinians go? they were kicked off of their land just as pilgrims pushed indians into almost extinction and those that were left were forced onto a fraction. tell me the logic. the holy land is holy to just about ALL faiths and religions…NO ONE DESERVES IT!!! we are not WORTHY to deserve it. There will be a winner and a loser, but we will all lose. we will lose our holy land, and at price? it’s too sad to really even think about…

a sign where i work reads “We support the People of Israel: Shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart”

I SUPPORT PEACE..SHOULDER TO SHOULDER, HEART TO HEART.
