How much did it cost to kill this innocent kitten?! $400 to sew up a wound and prescribe antibiotics?! THEN they spend a ton of money hiring some PR bitch to handle this story. They have money for that but not to heal a kitten?!

THEN they tell the guy “hey, you can pick up a replacement when you are over it” HOW FUCKEN HEARTLESS AND INSENSITIVE CAN THEY BE?!

Here is the link to the story LINK

When we needed our first can we went to the nearest Home Depot. The one in San Leandro off Davis Street. Here is a bit of trivia you didn’t know. This store is the worst in the nation. IN THE NATION. That is NOT personal opinion. I knew the Human Resources Manager and she told me! Anyway you probably already guessed I did not find what i was looking for. So we went to Walmart which is 200 yards away. Guess what, yup, they didn’t have it either. We really wanted this damn stain. So we went to the 24 hour Walmart in Union City. This place is awful but that’s another post. Yet again they didn’t have it either! We didn’t understand why this stain was so hard to find. Was it that unpopular that they carry very small quantities? We were now forced to wait until the next day so we could go to OSH (Orchard Supply Hardware). We went and finally found it but, the story doesn’t end there. We needed it mixed to get the Onyx color on their chart. We waited around 10 minutes until we finally went to get someone. If you have been to OSH you know that paint mixing area is easily seen from the all the cashier isles yet no one saw us to come over and help. The entire time i was thinking how easily i could do this myself. So someone came over finally after waiting another 5 minutes after we asked for help and he got the can of stain, put on his coke bottle glasses and proceeded to read the instructions…..?! I was thinking, “You can’t be serious?! He’s never done this?!” So he opens the can, i think he clicked on 3 options on the screen and puts the color in, closes it and then uses the machine to shake it. We finally had what we wanted!

We eventually needed a second can. Simple right? WRONG. We happened to be in Dublin, CA coming back from a family function when we remembered we need some more stain. So we went to the nearest Home Depot. Did they have it? NOPE. So guess where we go next, yup, the nearest OSH. They did have it. Amazingly the same exact thing happened. We waited 10 minutes before we went to go get help and waited another 5 minutes for someone to get there. So she proceeded to read the instructions…. Don’t they train these people?! She asks us, “What color do you want?” we said, “Onyx.” She had a very bewildered look on her face like we were speaking japanese to her and she tried her hardest to understand. She says, “What?” “Onyx” She still had that crazy bewildered look on her face. “Onyx.” Still nothing. “ONYX.” we said it louder but to no avail. So she had us go with her and point to the color we wanted. Maybe she thought we were making up the color. The torture doesn’t end there. She opens the can, puts color in it. Now the fun part of her trying to close it. This must have been the first time she tried closing any type of paint can in her life. She started with the mallet. She wasn’t even hitting the lid but the edge of the can. For some reason the can wasn’t closing so she starts hitting it a little harder. She now starts spilling some stain with every strike… wonderful. She eventually angles her strikes to start barely hitting the lid but she thought she was making great strides. So she starts going around the can but every strike made the previous spot pop up but that didn’t stop her. I was on the verge of laughing at her. She eventually angled her mallet strikes enough to barely keep the lid closed. Now it was time for the machine the shakes the can. I swore to my wife that the can was going to exploded in the machine and it will be a great site to see. By some miracle of god the lid stayed shut and we finally got to leave with another can of stain….

I really hope we dont need another can of Minwax Water Based WoodStain Clear Tint.

I just went to this place on Monday because it was my birthday and because i love the food and atmosphere. Understand that i really LOVED this place. There are anime cells on the walls and anime playing on three screens. Anime figures displayed. It is a restaurant for anime dorks. I did enjoy it but unfortunately, i think the economic times have hit them hard too. I think they closed the one they had in Los Angeles near “The Magic Castle” (a fancy, members only classy club NOT Disneyland). They also cheapened their food, which was worst of all. One was the Ritsu Roll. They started using cheaper grade tuna thinking no one would notice. The tuna prior just melted in your mouth and had a wonderful flavor. The tuna they replaced it with certainly does not melt in your mouth and had a slight fishy flavor. I also noticed they changed their tempura batter. They went from a nice sharp and crispy batter to that soft and doughy type of tempura commonly associated with crappy buffets and cheapskate Chinese restaurants.

I also do not think they are properly advertising the place. Every time I go, i hope to see anime dorks but i NEVER have. It is all well-to-do yuppie douchebags. I am certain that if you asked them to name ANY of the anime playing or from the cells on the wall they would have NO clue. They may even have a “WTF is anime?” look on their faces.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that the service was not good. The guy forgot the inari. I literally saw him write it down and then he repeated it to us and when we ask him about it says that he did not hear us! Then he brought us the inari an there was only two pieces when the menu says three. At least the inari was free…
I wonder if things get better for them whether they will switch back to the finer ingredients. Unfortunately, that usually is not the case.

I will now think twice about going there again. As much as i love the atmosphere of the place, the quality of the food does not deserve a 30-minute drive, a $4 toll and the time it takes to get a little dressed up. I will have to start exploring nearby sushi places.

I went to the “Genius” Bar in Pleasanton because my sister’s iPod would heat up a little too much when transferring files then would freeze until the battery ran out. So we are talking to the Genius jerk, he transfers files to the iPod, and it went fine because there were only a few files. So he kind of gave us this “you guys are idiots look.” I told him feels like it get abnormally hot and so he transfer a huge file over and he have to sit there and wait.

While we were waiting, another person comes in to get his iPod fixed. Overhearing the conversation I found out he was referred here from another apple store 45 minutes away. Yet, instead of just helping this guy out after nearly an hour of driving to their store, all they kept saying to him was, “They didn’t fix it at the other place?” or “they should have fixed it there” or “I wonder why they didn’t just fix it there.” They did not even attempt to fix it. I think I heard them say those lines about seven or 8 times before the guy got pissed and stormed off. The best part was that all the “genius” bar people just stood there and looked at each other with a look of “what the fuck was his problem.” I felt bad for the guy because he wasted at least 45 minutes getting to the place only to be treated like that?!

Our iPod finally overheated and froze and so they gave us a refurbished one. All was fine and good until that one broke a few weeks later….

I was going insane. I could feel my brain slowly losing IQ points. Eventually i started getting figety. Rocking in my chair, shaking my leg and then i ended up pacing in large circles down the hall for at least 2 hours.

So if you ever get called into jury duty, ALWAYS TAKE SOMETHING TO OCCUPY YOUR TIME FOR AT LEAST 8 HOURS! In fact, take something to keep busy or entertained ANYTIME you have to do government business like DMV and Jury Duty.

We changed their names to Jordie (LeForge) and Dante. Jordie is black with a white under belly and Dante is pure black and silky. We have noticed that Jordie has actually regained some eye sight. nothing major but we think he can see very blurry shadows and high contrast stuff. good think his brother is all black. Jordie occasionaly meows when he feels lost or alone and we just have to answer him and he feels better and stops meowing.

at first the two cats were scared and walked around crouching very low to the ground since they were very unsure about their surrounding. We had a box in the corner of the room and they both squeezed and slept there for the first three days or so. They started to get more comfortable and started running around. They use to shy away from us when we tried to pet them but that was also over around the third day. Now they run around like crazy, climbing all over the place (mostly Dante with some very limited climbing done by Jordie). They have also been farting up a storm. It’s like a punch in the face every time because the smell just suddenly appears.

We were given Science Diet Dry Kitten food for them. Not really the best stuff but it was free. They mostly use chicken by-products as their protein source and you can actually smell the deep fried chicken skin in the food! We went ahead and bought them some Science Diet Wet Kitten food. Jordie likes the food and Dante thinks its poo. Seriously. He smells it and starts pawing around it like he would his poo in the litter box! Love the Blue Buffalo stuff though!

I’ll be making a post about cat care later. let’s just say we have learned A LOT! Here is a little spoiler. If you haven’t been feeding your cat Blue Buffalo or EVO, you are only feeding him garbage food. that included science diet!

If you read this make sure you tease her about it! :P

I just really feel that bitch needs to get her come-upings for been so damn mean spirited.

EDIT: I forgot to mention there is a stupid car scene showcasing how much of a rebel Kirk was when he was young. The car had a built in phone. It was a goddamn nokia and guess what, yeah they played that fucken ring tone everyone despises. So hearing it in the movie was no different from hearing it from the asshole a few seats down from me! That was a real good product placement guys. Maybe do a little research and find out people hate that fucken ring tone!

First of all, the movie is about a mining ship that goes back in time. Yup, that’s it. A Romulan mining ship. Let’s add tribal type tattoos to his face to make him look cool and dangerous. Next lets add the type of cast that comes from those stupid shows i refer to as “Pretty white kids with problems” from the CW network. Put them in a school type environment because they are young. Lastly lets stick it in an “alternative” time line so that way we can make them say and do whatever the hell we like and we dont have to know a damn thing about Star Trek! All they did for preparation was watch an episode of Star Trek, jotted down all their names and the exaggerate them.

Here is how the meeting went:
“Hahaha, listen to that russian trying to speak english, I know, lets make the accent even thicker, so thick they may even need to put subtitles! That doctor has terrible bed side manner, i know, lets make him into a real dick. Hey, that chinese guy knows fencing, you know what would be awesome? If we make him have ninja skills! you know all asians have ninja skills. Oh, and instead of taking a fucken gun (phaser) on a mission, let him have magically extending katana. And because all these teen movies, i mean serious work of science fiction need something sexual let make Kirk get caught trying to fuck a green chick with fat titties because you know those PG-13 kids love boobies. Also, for absolutely no reason or precedent lets get u-whore-a to take off her clothes and later have her try to suck up on Spock. Last and certainly least, we can make Kirk be even more of an arrogant douchebag. It’s an alternate timeline. we can do whatever the fuck we want!”

Think about this. If a fire fighter went your house to try to put out a fire, even though he tried his best, he couldnt save your wife and kids. Would you be super pissed and hold a grudge for 25 years and want to burn down his house? He tried but failed. Well, that was the main story line. Mr “i work in the mines all day” was pissed at Spock for failing to stop the destruction of Romulus by a super nova. Would it have been better if everyone just sat on their ass and did nothing? Who then would he be mad at?

the moral of the story is not to help anyone because if you mess up they will travel back in time and make you watch what happened to them happen to you.

I hope you didn’t see this movie. The only reason it made as much money as it did is because they haven’t made a Star Trek movie in a long time and Enterprise was so gay (fuck you hillary duff). Scott Bakula should have stuck with leaping through time.

you can bet they have a fake imax as well at the Dublin, CA movie theater. The only place in the San Francisco Bay Area you can go to get a REAL, BIG FUCKEN SCREEN IMAX is at the 5th and Mission st Metreon near the Westfield Mall. I’ll never see something in “IMAX” anywhere else! I know you dont want to pay extra for fake IMAX! Please make sure you tell others!
