My Left Eye Sees Ghosts...

I just finished watching that movie and it brought me to tears. It started when I was watching the second half wondering if there was something near me. It just turned out that the movie so much I started to cry.

It's a touching story where Sammi falls in love with her husband in 7 days and in that time they get married. He ends up drowning and his family doesn't believe that he married her. One night she ends up passing out at the wheel and that's when she can see ghosts.

At the end of the movie she finds out that the ghost was her husband in disguise. She and the guy that fixes the car she totaled (it was her late husband's car) was the guy she was meant to be with.

If you want to see a strange love story, this one is it.

Super Simian to the Rescue!

Legend tells of a hero not born unto this world, but destined to change forever the course of human existence. A hero so grand that all past legends will turn to dust in the wake of his greatness. This is not that hero. This is, however, the next best thing: a monkey with a cape and a mask. Because nothing says power like a cape and a mask.

This monkey has a secret - there are pockets in the monkey's hands. Slip your fingers in, pull back his hind legs, and his arms will stretch to a crazy length with the magic of rubber! You can just feel the potential energy coursing through the monkey's imaginary veins. Let fly and you will be treated to a wondrous sight. The monkey will scream with delight when jolted. So, if the launch is hard enough, you'll get a scream of power in mid air; or if the landing is hard, you'll get a scream of protest as gravity does its work. Or, you fling like a master, you'll get a double-dose of monkey justice (i.e. noise). Dimensions: 11" Tall (arms at sides)

Help Your Monkey Make Beautiful Noise

There’s a door in ThinkGeek HQ which leads to another dimension (and no, we don’t mean the bathroom). In this other dimensional Earth, which we call Moorhtab, Spock has a beard and monkeys are as plentiful and beautiful as butterflies (and they fly too). It is indeed a great sight to see a flock of Moorhtabian Monkeys chiming in the wind. They chime because of the magnetic stones their carry in their little sacks. It was such an unusual noise, we knew we had to find a way to share it with you, our customers. Lucky for us, Moorhtabian Monkeys love string cheese, so a giant trade deal was made. Now, it is our pleasure to present, for this first time in this dimension, Singing Monkey Balls.

A few tips & tricks for your Singing Monkey Balls...

• The Spinner - Start off by clasping the Monkey Balls between your thumb and two fingers. Squeezing gently will spin the Monkey Balls briefly in the air, producing a mysterious whistle. Try spinning them from one hand into the other. The higher into the air you spin them, the longer they whistle. (Please be sure no real Monkeys are in the vicinity when trying this trick, they may become disturbed.)
• The Pendulum - Hold one Monkey ball between your fingers and thumb, then attach the second ball to the bottom of the first. Gently swing the balls back and forth like a pendulum. For an even greater challenge, see how close you can bring the second Monkey Ball to perpendicular before they clash together.
• The Pinch - Place the Monkey Balls on a smooth surface, pinch the ends together with your thumb and forefinger, then release. The balls will emit a pleasant fluttering sound as they spin around the surface. Experiment with different surfaces to produce varying noises.

WARNING: This product is very magnetic. Always keep a safe distance (at least 20 inches) from magnetic storage media and sensitive electronic equipment such as: portable hard disks, pacemakers, credit cards, laptops and especially CRT monitors!

PLEASE NOTE: Singing Monkey Balls are not indestructible. Only kryptonite is indestructible and ThinkGeek does not carry that yet. Avoid dropping the balls onto hard surfaces. Never ever ingest them and keep them away from live monkeys.

The car that wouldn't shut the fuck up...

I arrive home tired and a little bothered. I hear a car alarm and think nothing of it. You know, the kind you believe that some car just set off with the muffler because it made the ground shake. You think it's just the car alarm set on sensative. I should probably set up the time that I got home. I got home almost 8.00 p.m. Hearing car alarms every once in a while happens you know? Everyone's heard at one time or another.

Well then I keep hearing the same alarm. Now I start to wonder because I get curious as to what kind of car is it? Where is it located? Why is it going off every two minutes? I'm in my room and it's about a quarter of a block away and I still hear it with the TV volume turned up to almost 50.

It then becomes later at night. It's 11.05 p.m. and I still hear the same car alarm. At this point it's just annoying and since no one (all the neighbors did not call or anything) I decided to do something. Rather than calling 911 because I looked up who you would call I found out the nearest station and e-mailed them. I emailed the station with the following information:

I am writing because there is a white Mercedes Benz that has a car alarm that goes off every couple of minutes. When I arrived home tonight it was already sounding. It is now 11 pm at night and it is still going off. The car is located on the corner of 18th and XXXXXXX. If you turn right on XXXXXX it is the second card before you reach 18th avenue. If you could have someone either locate the owner of the car and or have it towed I'd appreciate it and I'm sure the rest of the neighbors would too.

If you need to reach me my cell phone number is 415-xxx-xxxx. I do not know who's car that is nor do I have the license plate number. My name is Monkey.

That is what I put down. I believe I emailed that at about 11.09 p.m. and within about 20 minutes to about half an hour there was this truck noise I heard. I thought it might have been a delivery truck for Safeway or something. I find out it's a tow truck ready to take the car and there is a police car there too. While they were trying to tow the car I bet and believe they heard and understood what I was talking about. As they were trying to remove the car the alarm continued to sound.

My theory is this: if you can have a nice car then you can afford to pay the fee to get your car back from the impound lot. Should your car keep making annoying noises and someone who has pretty good hearing they will call and have your car towed.

Lesson here: If your car alarms keeps going for hours and hours I'm going to have it towed at YOUR expense and that's too fucking bad for you. If the people with in a half block radius has to hear your alarm go off for hours on end and don't complain I will. Watch where you park your car because if that alarm goes off for more than an hour expect it to be gone from the place you parked.

This has been a public service announcement for those that drive a nice expensive car and leave it unattended for more than three hours and knew the alarm would go off that often.

I wish I had a picture of the car being towed and or the car before. But I don't.

Horoscope: Lay the foundation for a few important things you hope to do -- plan the future. Is it better to give or receive? Now that's a question for the ages. Your usual perspective goes topsy-turvy when you realize there's more to life than accruing goods and success. What's really important?
