brick quote of the day: "from a garage insanely great ideas emerge"
I tried it. I sat im my garage. no insanely great ideas yet.
fortune of the day: "you will conquer obstacles to achieve success"
*snickers*
current project: staring at these two pages of diagrams that made so much sense when we were all excited and figuring out how we wanted it and drawing it down and now it just looks like a mess trying to figure out how to implement it. I havent the slightest clue. so yeah.
my daily posting has failed. knew it would. but oh well. least Im still posting occasionally. mainly because Im finding I dont have as many interesting thoughts (well, at least not ones I either want to share or would be too specific and only some people would know what the hell I was talking about and get disinterested. I try not to disintrest anyone ^_^;;). and Ive come to making peanut gallery remarks. scary.
I noticed today theres an antique book store down the street called "know knew books". I find that amusing, so I thought Id share.
theres also a really fancy camera store in town. and I mean REALLY fancy. like where they have the equivalent of book signings and get really famous photographers to come in and give talks on photographic style and all that, and only develop film by hand, etc.
well, I brought in my two crap of all crap disposable cameras from expo and had the nerve to ask to get them developed. I thought they were going to throw me out for a second. the woman kinda got this sour look on her face and looked offended, but in the end they took it as a matter of honor that if any 2 buck 1 hour photo joint could develop a disposable camera, then they most certainly could do it better. and they'd prove it. I didnt care if they could do it better, so long as proving it meant I got my pictured developed XD
ever since that 9/11 congressional investigation team or whatever came back with findings that "no, it wasnt iraq...actually, it was closer to iran than iraq.." you just know bush has been dying for an excuse to invade iran too. make it kinda a box set. well now iran gave him his excuse. youd think they'd have been smart enough to wait until AFTER he was out of office to break teh seals on their atomic centrifuges (fancy machines that enrich uranium). now, they didnt do anything illigal, they werent required to have those seals like north korea. as long as they were in place they recieved trade incentives from eastern europe. they made what they were doing public, pre-announced what the were doing the amount of time specified by the trade agreement beforehand, and made with claim they were restarting their atomic energy project with proof. but of course, knowing our president, bush is already banging the war drums yelling about how they're building nuke...excuse me, "weapons of mass destruction" (pff...just because he cant pronounce nuclear), how they've already built "wepons of mass destruction" and how they're going to sell "weapons of mass destruction" to terrorists. people, please get this guy out of office before he starts WWIII.

Mahjongg. it pisses me off that american game developers have twisted the average americans understanding of what the game Mahjongg is. (get ready for completely made up statistics!!) ask people what majongg is, and, if they know the name, 9 out of 10 of em will tell you its a solitare game played with tiles. this answer makes me want to hit people. yes, there is a, infact there are many, popular solitare game played with mahjongg tiles, but it IS NOT the game mahjongg. mahjongg is a rather complicated four player tile game not unlike gin-rummy. and yet so few people seem to know this...
I blame capitalism. the only solution is to ask canada or iceland to take control of our country and fix our government and social structure.

they had an area of the parking lot around the entrance roped off a couple days ago, and a van emblazened with "pizza on wheels" subtext:"the mobile catering pizza kitchen".
party?
maybe. but if it was I missed it. which would have been a shame.
oh well. home time. laterness.
