Alloy Orchestra
| Going to the Somerville Theater to see these guys tonight, performing to Buster Keaton's The General. i have seen them a few times before, always on my friend Tyler's initiative, because i am lucky to ride on his coat-tails. If you ever get the chance, they are a must-see. We also recenly saw Modern Times at the Brattle (not with Alloy), also on Tyler's initiative, of course. Fantastic. |

From My Friend Mikey
(To be fair, i asked him to send me bad jokes.)
Here are some comments made by sports commentators that I'm sure they would like to take back:
1. Weightlifting commentator at the Olympic Snatch and Jerk Event:
"This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing."
2. Ted Walsh - Horse Racing Commentator:
"This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother."

My Cat Annie
My Cat Annie: bringing pride to stupid cats the world 'round.
OK, we have all seen it before, but it is so freaking hilarious. If, for some strange reason, you are sick of it, then check out the rest of the site. After you get your head examined, of course.
Shopping
You should buy lovely scented soaps from Invisigirl.
While you are at it, you should buy pretty sparkly things from Emily K.
Go on, you know you want to.
Balnearius Interruptus
Awww, i was in my holiday bath with a lovely bottle of wine, watching a great movie and doing girly things like mud masks and pedicures, when the water got cold, so i decided to add a warmup. Nothing. No water at all.
My hair is full of avocado butter.
i came downstairs to a burny smell. My landlord is in the basement welding pipes.
Did i mention that my hair is full of avocado butter?
Oh, well, i am grateful for motivation to go to the gym. Maybe i will sit in the steam room to warm up. And be happy that my house is not on fire.
All in memory of Dr. King, of course. He nailed something to a church door, right?
Just kidding.

Happy 20th Birthday!
| The Mac is twenty! Read the original press. It really blossomed, no? Everyone deserves a pass for an awkward adolescence. Mad props to my Moms, who was an Apple fan from the start. She raised me right! And i still miss the rainbow logo. |  |
It's All About Spin
They just needed better PR; i hope it saves some animals.
Big Apple renames pit bulls 'New Yorkies'
New Yorkers are renaming the pit bull terrier in an attempt to improve the dog's frightening image.More in linkThe city's animal welfare agency has decided to change all its official documents to rename the pit bull the "New Yorkie". It is hoped that the image change will encourage more people to adopt the thousands of pit bulls taken in by the animal shelter each year.
Ninety per cent of the 6,000 pit bulls taken to the New York City Animal Care and Control centre each year are destroyed.
Emeralds
Tracing emeralds' origins could foil smugglers
Exclusive from the New Scientist.A technique that reveals where an emerald was mined could help bring smuggling of the gems under control. The method could also give teeth to a gem-control initiative in Colombia, where the government is struggling to regulate the country's lucrative emerald industry.Rats, i hate to think of my birthstone as a conflict gem. Good thing i cannot buy one anyway. Hopefully applied spectroscopy can help.

i like this movie, and i do not care what you people think. Lori Petty is hot, and Naomi Watts is hotter. Malcolm MacDowell? And Ice-T as a Ripper? Awesome. i like the book too, and i STILL do not care what you people think. i am offended IMDb lists the source as a "comic strip". That isn't true, is it? It was always a book as far as i know. |  |
Downright Tropical
Weather.com says it is 38° Farenheit, but it feels like 29°. They are so wrong, it feels like 65°!
Where is my margarita?
Hijacked!
On the way to the gym, a little old lady flagged me down at a stop sign and demanded i take her to the market. It was out of my way and all, but what can you say to an old lady?

Lion Country Safari
In case that last post got you thinking it was something more exciting.
Lion Country Safari
My family went to LCS when i was a kid, and they tried to eat us. It was very educational!
Safari
Last night i looked at this page on Safari, and the sidebar was stuck on the bottom of the one long middle column instead. Can anyone else see that?
(5/12/04 EDIT: It was an unclosed center tag. Good to know. Weird that it did not bother other browsers. Stupid picky Safari.)
Battle of the Profs
Dammit, we schedule our exams months in advance and even block out time on their schedule.
Who is Physics to tell me they want me to re-schedule my exam or make special accommodations? They should have planned ahead as we did. Grr......

Deeper
As in "I think we need to look at it DEEPER. "
When did "deeper" become an adverb? Dear God, i hope that has not become acceptable English.
"More deeply" is at least still correct, right? Right!?!
All RIGHT, Already
"Just tell your parents you werent watching her because you were getting stoned."
Fair point, but do we sober people have to hear it OVER AND OVER AND OVER.
They need to target their audience, like during Adult Swim. Or Punk'd. And Anna Nicole, i can only assume you have to be stoned to watch THAT.

What Have i Done?
Well, i finally did it, i just e-mailed someone on Friendster. i am not sure what came over me.
i was thinking about it for a few weeks, but whenever i thought about it, the timing seemed pathetic, like Christmas day or something. The fact that i kept thinking about the guy for a few weeks is a good sign, i suppose. We shall see.
BTW, if you are not already my "Friend", here is the invitation, but if you got here through Beets, then you probably are.
