 The Lying McCains [2:30m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Enjoy this little mash-up I made today from John McCain’s acceptance speech he gave on Thursday night at the end of the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis-Saint Paul. I have to admit, and as if you couldn’t tell, I was a little pissed at Cindy. I can’t believe she would get up and try to talk human rights and dignity. I agree you have to think back to the time of Lincoln to pull off that stretch of the imagination. Take it from this ex-Log Cabin Republican, McCain is no Abraham Lincoln and Sara Palin is soooo not Hillary Clinton.

 

 Walmart Blue [0:53m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

So we went into the new Walmart Supercenter in Canovanas to buy some things for the arrival of our guest on Thursday. Mostly, just a futon because I’m sure like to sleep on anything but the floor. I had gone to the Customer Service counter to ask for assistance with the futon because it was a pretty large box, though not really that heavy. It had the standard Walmart “Team Lift” sticker which was enough for me to not try it myself. I stood by the futon for an additional 20 minutes and I just gave up.

I decided enough was enough and here’s my official reaction on video. Take notice of the incessant alarm beeping in the background… and yeah… it was doing that the whole time I was in the store. So during the 20 minutes time I was standing around waiting for someone to help me, no less than 4 department coaches walk by, not turning off the alarm and not helping me. What’s a department coach you say? A department coach is what Walmart calls their department managers, only because they’re a ‘coach’ and not a ‘manager’, Walmart can get away with not paying a management salary or having to give full-time hours! No wonder no one stopped to help me (or that friggin alarm).

Anyway, as it turns out, like 5 minutes after I made this video I found a nice boy with a pallet jack who helped me to the front of the store with the new bed/couch. Yay futon… Booooooo Walmart.

 

 Gurami Gurami! [1:25m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

So we finally got the new pond slash pool looking thing filled with water. Duly so, we took the three koi and the giant gurami and gave them what amounts to a penthouse apartment compared to the little pond they’ve lived in for the last 3+ years.

I took a video of gurami all happy swimming around and scoping out his new diggs. Enjoy!

At just after 1:30 pm EST today, a car stopped at a the busy intersection of Ave Juan Ponce de Leon and Ave Theodore Roosevelt in the metropolitan district of Hato Rey, San Juan caught fire just as police and fire rescue crews reached it to quench the flames.

As temperatures grow this summer, more and more fires like this one occur every year all over the island of Puerto Rico as well as the rest of the United States. In NYC this year, during the month of June alone, fire fighters responded to 1,588 non-structural fires according to NYC.gov website monthly statistics.

With many people also fighting for cash to pump into their car for gas, many are also forgetting to pump some money into regular maintenance.

As we were on our way to work today, this guy decided he had to turn left but he didn’t want to wait in line with the only two left hand turn lanes available. So he hopped right up to the side of us and sure enough he out the pedal to the metal to jump out in front when the left turn arrow came on. Nice job dude… were you late or somethin? Whoever you are in your Black 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage, Puerto Rico license plate number ECR 241, your car registration expired… I hope it was worth it!

 

 Beat It - Excerpt from Le Zapping du Web [0:36m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

We were watching the podcasts downloaded from the night before and this French one, Le Zapping du Web, has videos, mostly in French, not unlike the Digg Reel would be for us. The catch it, they don’t really say where it came from and it’s like channel surfing, like the original TV based Le Zapping, which also has it’s own podcast. Annnnyyway I kind liked it and instead of posting it on YouTube, I stuck it here for it’s androgynous value (I question the gender of the person playing and singing it).

 

 Haitcut Garage - L.A., California Nov. 1st 2007: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Yea so… Jeff and I like to do random shit on our vacation fun time. So we stopped a while back while we were in L.A. to do something we’ve done more than once, get a haircut on vacation. We did it once in Amsterdam and if Olga only knew that she made such a lasting impression on me… it would melt her heart. Anyway this place made a lasting impression with posters, postcards and album covers all over the walls. They must have glued the older stuff on at the top and worked their way down with some of it. Los Angeles hair cuts aside, mine was great and Jeff’s sucked. I blamed it on his eternal ephemeral nature, the same reason he says he can never be an architect?! Enjoy the quick shoddy tour of the place; it was a gutted kind of tire change slash drive up service center remade into a 20 station beauty parlor, with coloring station and F.I.F.O. walk-in service. I just found the two video files and mixed this up today!
