...I don't think I ever had a mental image of Jesus, for some reason.
My image of Jesus when I was little was the usual one; light-skinned, long, dark-brown hair, bearded, intense but approachable. I'm not sure I ever really thought about what I'd say to him if I ever ran into someone like him.
I was able to find a way around one of them, but the other I guess I'm just fucked until at least morning, eh? Utilities are the worst about this, they live in this world where it's still 1970 and no one has even a mainframe computer yet. This even though they've used mainframes for decades now.
And it seems like there's at least one utility around here that doesn't accept online payments at all; you have to call up with a credit card like it's still the 1980s. Back in Dale City, it was Dale Service Corp (the sewer company); here, it's the trash hauler.

Where I live the trash collection is provided "free" (i.e., funded through taxes), which apparently isn't the case most other places.
I mention this because, oddly enough, the City of Columbus is going to start providing recycling service for free now, too. Up until now if you wanted recycling service you had to go through Rumpke or something and pay for it out of pocket.
Here, use of the landfill is free for households (it's paid out of property taxes), but getting the trash and recyclables there is your problem. Most people hire independent haulers to do it, since not everyone has a pickup truck. We have a minivan, but alas, it is currently parked until I can muster up the wherewithal to rebuild the front end like I've been planning for, oh, a year. :P

One of the interesting little quirks of our system is that our trash cans (all of which are technically city property) vary in size by which neighborhood you live in. Inner-city neighborhoods get much larger trash cans, because they're expected to be left in the back alleys where the trash is collected. More suburban-style neighborhoods, like this one, get much smaller cans that can easily be wheeled to and from the curbs because there are no alleys to hide them away in.
This seemed backwards to me at first, because I would expect that people in overpriced suburbs would generate more waste than people in lower-income neighborhoods, though I'm probably stereotyping there. It would be interesting to see a study of household income versus amount of refuse generated, though.
Here, it depends on what the hauler gives you, though it's typically one or two of the big rollaway bins. And I'd say that waste is waste, myself, though I'd expect there to be more canned food in the inner cities and more cardboard and plastic in the suburbs.
Also, I was reading through my spam just now, and I found this whopper:
This is the only Male enlargement supplement that has been PROVEN in clinical trials to enlarge your penis – safely, quickly, and importantly – PERMANENTLY.
HAHAHA OH WOW. Not only is that not how a penis works, it's also not how you fix ED or PE either. It's strictly for guys who are too macho or too scared of their wives to buy Viagra, or for young dorks who think that penis size is a big deal if you're dating someone that's not a porn star. :P
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
For some reason I associate "Male enhancement/enlargement" products with the endless Enzyte ads during Comedy Central's reruns of MadTV that I enjoyed when I was younger and dumber.

I've become fond of State Route 310, or at least the portion in Pataskala.
I don't know why. Something about it is oddly comforting.

Not just musical floppy drives, PONY musical floppy drives.
I've been thinking about singing stepper motors all day because of old hard drives, but seeing that someone's already done it with cheap, readily-available floppies is pretty nice. :D It's kind of hard to find 20-year-old stepper-motor hard drives now.

I got mistaken for a woman on the phone the other day. I had to avoid giggling with glee.
("Mistaken for a woman" probably isn't the right way to phrase that, since I do identify as a woman, but you know what I mean)

I was just thinking about what my favorite and least favorite years are, because I was discussing it with Ally over on dA, and I have to wonder what I think of 2005. Probably the same as 1990; not really a good year, because some untoward shit went down that year (I found out my high school crush had married, and I became a /b/tard at about the same time; if I were right in the head, I wouldn't have even bothered looking her up, but oh well), but still memorable in other ways. Other than "Hollaback Girl", I can't think of anything good, though. :/OH WAIT MY NIECE WAS BORN THAT YEAR DUH
Time to wash the pan I used for my mac-n-cheese earlier, make and slurp down some fake iced tea, then get to bed. :P

[Junie B.'s mother] caught me by arm and marched me into the house.
After that, she sat me in a chair. And she said my goose is cooked, young lady.
Goose is cooked means that your goose is in big trouble. Only I don't actually have a goose. Only that was not the time to mention it, probably.
And as noted before, the songs I had in my head when my niece and nephew were born are pretty indicative of the growth I've shown in the ensuing years. When my niece was born, it was a lullaby-ish theme from We Work Well Together, a throwback to 10th grade and all of my high-school insecurities. When my nephew was born last November, it was the last part of [S] Cascade -- a symbol of me leaving all of those old hangups behind, I like to think.

B rhymes with P. And P stands for pet.
A Music Man reference? In my Junie B. Jones? It's more likely than you think.

(*Google-Fu*) You're right.

It still interests me much more than any other religion. Because it's familiar, perhaps.

You got news music lodged in your head?
...that happens with me, infrequently. I'm very moved by KRON Instant Classics, for instance.
