Michael Strahan is going to be Kelly Ripa's co-host.

I guess I will never ever be watching that show.

I went to the DMV yesterday to renew my license plate tabs (they ended up giving me all new plates for some reason - more on that later). It wasn't bad at all. If that's all you're doing, they don't make you take a number here. There's a separate line where you waltz past all the miserable looking people with other issues. I was in and out in 5 minutes.

Now, I got home and replaced the front plate with no problems. But then on the back, I see that the 5-year-old screws holding the back plate on are going to be a problem. Sure enough, they both snap off from being rusted so badly. So now I have the back plate in the back window.

Luckily, there is a bit of space between spot where the license plate goes and the spot where the screws broke off. I think I can get a nut between and attach it with a short screw that way. If not, I'll need to find someone with the necessary tool to drill a new thread through the old screws.

I canceled Netflix this morning. Its become useless to me as I slow down on how many dvds I can watch and with Amazon's Prime streaming getting better and better.

I've been debating this but just can't pull the trigger. I checked out amazon prime instant streaming but it looks like most of the good stuff you have to pay for. I've been digging Redbox for my DVD's but don't like having to go back and return them.

Re: Off Topic 2012

I'm still out on Redbox, after my run in with them. I returned the games to their box and they still charged my debit card $120 for two games that I returned and had the emails to prove it. It took a month to get my money back. Until then, I had never had an issue, but I can't make myself use their service again.. even if it's a good deal.

I keep my Netflix, because I like to go back and watch some stuff from time to time and it's nice having shows like Top Gear, White Collar, SOA, etc. at my disposal any time I want to watch.

I looked at the Amazon thing you guys are talking about and it didn't really interest me. Like you said Matt, it seems most of the good stuff you have to pay more for.

My work computer is making some weird record scratch noise regularly, and the speakers are off. It has an SSD. I can't think of what would be making the noise, especially since it's a laptop.

Apparently, according to Parenting Magazine (via someone I know's Twitter... Probably not most reliable but whatever), I live in the most dangerous city.

I always say its Napoleon Complex. We ain't Philly or NYC, so we have to be that much more violent to show everyone we're badass. And when I say we, I mean the spawns of Hell that are these wannabe thug gangsters.

There must 10 different cities that rank as the most dangerous according to whichever statistic they look at. I remember when Saginaw was tops for like 5 years in a row for "most violent city in America per capita". The actual city (not the metro area), is really small, like 60,000. So in that bad area within the limits, or course it's going to rank at or near the top.
"per capita".
