Yup, another weekend.

Three things of blog-worthy note:
1. I think the most dangerous thing about modern cars, with all their safety features and air bags and crash-avoidance-systems, is that they all have automatic transmissions. Once upon a time, with manuals, it required two feet and two hands to run a car. Anyone lacking these minimal necessities was unable to drive an auto. Now it is possible to drive with a single foot, as long as you can pull the ol' knee-driving. It seems like people ahve developed this flase sense of bordom about driving, and they are inclined to "fill" their time with other things like eating, drinking, talking on phones, reading books, and whatnot. If you were stuck using all of your appendages, I think there would be a lot safer driving. I wonder if there is a statistic to back me up on this.
2. It seems like cinematic satire has fallen a long way in the last 20 years. I saw "Not Another Teen Movie" the other day, and while it created small side-spoofs of famous scenes and movies, the actual story of the movie was exactly like another movie, to the point that in the end, it wasn't even mocking anything, it was actually just replaying the movie it was supposed to spoof. Yesterday, I watched "UHF" which did the same thing with the little side-spoofs, but the storyline was relatively original (albeit trite and predictable), and it continued the same humor throughout the entire movie. It was original thought. Thus better.
3. I bought a KMFDM vinyl yesterday. It wasn't on my list, but I haven't found anything else in this town that is on the list, so I was getting discouraged. and I wanted to expand my horizons a little, I've heard some of their stuff, but I thought I'd grab some of my own. I bring it home and much to my suprise, it was a 12" single. D'oh. D'oh indeed, my friend.

Hey, no links!
