Most Disappointing Burger Ever.

So, on my trip to my favourite city in the world today, I stopped in at Burger King for lunch. I know... Burger King isn't the best fast food place, but their Double Bacon Cheeseburger is quite good. But today I saw something I hadn't seen before... The Angus Burger. Wow... that sounds good. Like a steak almost. So, I order it. It tasted like meatloaf on a bun. Nothing against meatloaf, but I wanted a burger. So disappointing.

I Feel So Violated... But Not In A Good Way

Who's laughing now? Well, it's not me.

For the second time, my car was broken into last night. Luckily this time, there was no damage to my car (ie. broken windows). However, it's partly my fault, as I left my windows open enough to get an arm through to unlock my door. But still, there were nights this summer that I left the top down, and nothing happened then.

So, they broke in... riffled through my stuff and took the following: A handful of change, a tire pressure gauge, my CDs, and my garage door opener to get into my underground parking garage. The worst one, of course, is the garage door opener, because now my super has to change the code on everyone's clicker in the building. A wee bit of a hassle.

Good points: The CDs were all burnt copies of CDs I own. That was good forward thinking on my part, as a Jeep is generally easy to break into. However, I figured that my Jeep would be broken into by unzipping the windows in the soft top. Which brings me to my other point... they didn't take my windows, which would have been the most expensive thing they could take pretty much.

Besides the obviousness of having to burn my CDs again, and the inconvenience of having to change the code for the garage door opener for my super, the worst part is knowing that some piece of crap was going through my stuff in my car. I feel dirty. I'd say worse things about him, but I want to keep my PG rating.

You Decide: Am I "The Unstoppable Force", or "The Immovable Object"?

Well, I'm having a hard time trying to think up a new nickname. I figured I needed something quite impressive... as impressive as my fourth poker win in five games. Which, of course, makes up for the horrible golf game and really bad sunglasses tan I got this morning. Only if I was this good at Dr. Mario.

I'm now announcing the grand opening of Matt Brouwer's School for Schooling People in Poker.

Just Yolking Around

So, I decided to make two fried eggs this morning... sunny side up.

Broke both yolks.

Totally sucks.

The 40 Year Old Virgin

No, that title does not refer to me.... Seriously, how old do you think I am?

Joking aside, I went to see that movie last night with the Grace's, and man, was it ever funny. Steve Carell (who used to be on The Daily Show, one of my favourite shows) was just way too good. I think it might have even been funnier than The Wedding Crashers, which is saying a lot. I think I could really relate to the main character, that is, up until he actually started talking to women... then it kinda lost me.

But seriously, how good was the line, "Do you want me to be retarded?"
