trying to drink away the part of the day that i cannot sleep away

Jun 20, 2007 18:24

So I was in Houston for the past week and in trying to spend as much quality time with everyone I kind of fell off the internet map, which is totally fine although it makes me feel kind of oddly cut off and disconnected from the world and also makes me wish I wasn't so immersed in the interwebz. Anyway, Houston was really great. I didn't get to do everything I wanted to do but it doesn't really matter, I still had a good time just hanging out with my friends. I should have taken Nat's advice at the very beginning of the summer and just moved to Houston, but its too late now and I could never really have afforded that. The only bad part about going there is that it makes coming back to Pennsylvania that much more difficult and lonely, especially because Kyle and I are in a really good place now, after a tumultuous year. Which makes going abroad (IN LESS THAN A MONTH!!) even harder as well. But everyone says its "good for me" and "character forming" blah blah blah whatever. I've got a $2000 nonrefundable ticket so I'm going, but I'm still nervous as hell.

Anyway, I have a bunch of links, as I increasingly read so much that I don't have any original thoughts left for a real entry of my own.

Celeb babies in 2032. I don't know why they picked that year, but its still funny and most likely accurate. On a sidenote, I'll be 45 in 2032. Weird.

In case you don't know if you're gay or not, some 'scientists' have found a few characteristics supposedly pertaining to gayness.

A ton of movie trailers for movies coming out soon, if that's your bag. A few that are included: Stardust (looks ridiculous), The Bourne Ultimatum (looks unnecessary), Rescue Dawn (looks like it has Christian Bale in it, which is all I need), and I Know Who Killed Me (looks retarded, as to be expected from any movie starring Lindsay Lohan as a one-legged stripper with amnesia).

If you ever wondered what a letter written by a stem cell might say, here's your answer. Oh you silly liberals.

A list of the most environmentally friendly companies, if you're looking for someone new to boycott. Interestingly, Canon and Nike are at the top, Amazon is at the bottom.

Bush tells black musicians visiting from New Orleans to clean up trash after White House picnic. For realz, yall. The transcript is from the White House website itself. Although in his defense he can say it was a joke, because it was followed by that idiotic chuckle that he does, anyone with 1 teaspoon of common sense will most likely see otherwise.

Google Street Racing is the new GTA Vice City. If you do this you are most likely the most bored person on earth.

If you happen to be the one other person in the world besides me who cares about The O.C.... this still isn't very interesting news. (FYI: Kelly Rowan = Kirsten Cohen, Seth's mom)

A post from RFK Jr about the autism/vaccine/thimerosal link. Its an interesting debate, and I'll admit that I don't know enough about it to have an informed opinion... but if the link is proven to be true, that's really scary.

DID YOU KNOW?! Women don't actually get a real period on the pill. Maybe you did know this, and I'm just an idiot. Anyway, if you're on the pill you'll probably want to read this post.

If you need a gift idea for that friend who has everything, how about an $18,000 hammock for 2 made out of fox fur?

Another DID YOU KNOW?! There is not a single pro-life group in the country that promotes contraceptive use. These people are truly mind-boggling... there are no words.

New study shows that Americans are now, on average, the shortest population in the industrialized world! Further proving that we've regressed back to the colonial age. At least now we can live in all those old colonial houses that look like they were built for midgets.

A "Guide to Iraq" from the WW2 era, otherwise known as "before America lost its collective fucking mind."

Ted Nugent is a flaming retard. That is all.

I can think of about 1 million better ways to spend $61.

Apparently passengers in cars didn't have constitutional rights before, but they do now... Yeah I dunno, its not a very good article.

Because being dead is no excuse to curb your contribution to global warming.

World's oldest man (111) claims not drinking alcohol has helped him live longer. Oh well. Who wants to be that old anyway?

Early symptoms of ovarian cancer have been identified. You should probably forward this on to your mom or something.

WEAPON OF ASS DESTRUCTION! Sorry, I couldn't help myself. You've probably heard about this by now, but if you haven't, some idiot in the 90s proposed building a bomb that would release chemicals that would turn enemy combatants gay and so overcome with lust for their fellow soldier that they wouldn't be able to fight. I don't know who ever thought this would be effective... maybe someone tripping on x at the time, or something?

In 40 years (AKA BY THE TIME WE'RE OLD) approx 1 in 85 people will have Alzheimer's. So I guess go ahead and do whatever the fuck you want, there's a good chance you won't remember it anyway!

Environmental tips from the people that hire private jets to fly a handful of people all over the world for fun.

Neato: scientists have figured out where deja vu comes from.

"To put it bluntly: if we were really as talented as we keep telling everyone in job interviews, we wouldn’t even be here [in college]."

Thanks for stopping by, San Diego.
