What's got me Miffed:
1. My favorite Oaxacan Restaurant moved far, far away. Not just out of my comfort zone, practically out of town. It's too far to drive for a flan, even if it was the best flan in the whole town. UGH!

2. I no longer have easy, three minute access to my favorite flan.

3. I'm sick of bicycle riders and their costumes darting out in front of cars. Happened to a car in front of me. You guys aren't cute or inspiring or even cyclist, you are just annoying.

4. I loathe Hummers. Ridiculous vehicles, no decent person owns one. You have to be an asshole to want one, a moron to buy one and Lucipher's own child to put a personalized licence plate on it. Wonder if any of these costumed bicycle riders own Hummers. Wouldn't surprise me.

5. UGH! I had a latte a few hours ago and UGH, It was actually 4 oz or less of latte and I feel awful for it. How can you coffee people do it? What gene or organ mutation do you have that I don't?
