There is a dead armadillo on the side of the highway that I take to work. It died a couple weeks ago. I have the priviledge of watching it decompose on a daily basis. Since I usually pass by the carcass at 70mph, I cannot get any pictures of it. As a side note: armadillos are freaky-looking. I noticed a sign on the way home from work yesterday that read something to the effect of, “Please be sure to read the traffic signs”. I thought that was weird. It’s sort of like when you are watching tv and an advertisement is shown for the program you are already watching. This morning I started using a new toothbrush and I got to thinking about how much nicer it is when you throw your old, worn out toothbrush away and use a new, fresh one. I think it’s fun to pick out a new toothbrush at the market. There are so many kinds to choose from these days. But, I don’t think I will be using a traditional toothbrush anymore. For several months now, I have been using an Oral-B 3D Pulsating toothbrush and it is awesome. My teeth feel so much cleaner after using it, as compared to a normal toothbrush. I tried the Sonicare toothbrush, but didn’t like it too much because the brush head seemed too big. But the Oral-B seems like a perfect size for me. A couple weeks ago I tried using a regular toothbrush, it was a pain to use. Maybe I am just lazy now, but I could tell that the Oral-B cleans in between teeth much better, and even after I was done, my teeth didn’t feel quite as smooth. I totally recommend getting a power-toothbrush! 2003 Sep 23

I really enjoyed Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown. They were cool because I recognized a lot of the locations from those, especially Jackie Brown. I saw that in a movie theater in Yokohama and it was a trip to see my hometown on the big screen. They even drove down Sepulveda and you can see El Paso Cantina in the background. And then the scenes at Del Amo Mall were funny because I knew exactly where they were. My friend Tony and I used to park in the parking lot where the Bridget Fonda character got killed. There was a nice little magazine store by that entrance to the mall, Del Amo Book and News I think it was named.
I am not sure when it happened, but my registration info for Blogshares got lost. After I registed my account, I find that I have $500 worth of cash, and no portfolio positions! How lame! I had bought a bunch of shares in different blogs. I even had tons of my own stock, but that is all gone! I suspect that the people at Blogshares did a wipe of all data at some point, but I must have missed it. Or they did a wipe of all users who hadn’t logged into their accounts for a while, which included me… Oh well, Takoyaki.org is still being actively traded, so please buy shares! 2003 Sep 21
