man, no more of this, I'm missing out
The fashionable look of...old stained shag carpet? Youbetcha.
LEAVE THE SEXY BE.
Another random footless wonder in Hollywood. Hee.
So I'm at home again, and I seem to have compiled a whole basketful of links, mostly to news stories. Lucky you. Me, I'm just hating being home again. I can't stop coughing, and my only alternative to not coughing is the little bottle of Rite Aid "Nite Time", which still does have psuedoephedrine in it (contrasted with NyQuil, which changed their formula), in the incredibly similar Original Green Death flavor. AAAAAAaaaaaagh.
And all that really does is knock me out too deeply to CARE if I cough, due to the 10% alcohol per serving factor.
MTV flubs it again. Not surprising, really.
This actually came up at FG the other day. Both this story, and the local version, which is Portland's planning on closing an equivalently-damaging number of schools in a bid to save money. My position on this has always been, Are you idiots CRAZY?!? because voting against education is always a bad thing to do. And I'm not specifically blaming the folks closing the schools--they have no options, they're having to ask parents to buy school supplies as it is in Washington and Oregon. No, it's the voters en masse that are pissing me off, the ones who see every education bond issue as "Oh, but wait, I shouldn't vote for that, that COSTS MONEY" rather than seeing it as "Oh, okay, my kids will have better educations, be able to get better jobs, be better people...I better vote for it".
Yeah, fine, most bond issues are bloated things by the time the public sees them, and I'll even admit, I've voted against a few based on the corellary additions at the voting booth--but by and large, if it can be seen as mostly an education issue, I vote for it. And I don't have kids. So what are the idiots with families doing? Pisses me off.
These are really funny, and occasionally informative. More go missing each day that goes away from Aprille 1st, too. Go see 'em now.
You know, I buy this. And my brain thinks it's actually cooler to have a drifting prophet than one who actually walks out on liquid water. Sure, I believe in suspension of disbelief, but dudes, give me something to work with. This, I think, religious types could work with.
Pity they're so pigheaded ignorant, most of the ones emailing this poor guy. They just can't unclench their closed minds enough to admit the possibility.
Biiiig damn bird. Well, bird-like thing. :)
While I'm intrigued by the results of this study, I have enough interest in gardening to be a little appalled, too. But then, that's why I got out of bonsai--I didn't like injuring plants to make them prettier.
On the other hand, that's why I'm thinking of taking bonsai up again--my ever-widening cruel streak. :)
I think the ABA might be wrong about the amount of soft drinks some people consume, as opposed to plain water. And hey--yet another reason why I'm not interested in going back to soft drinks--diet or no.
And, in the same vein, the scientists behind this study can just bite my big round ass. I don't not use aspartame because I'm afraid of cancer. I don't use aspartame because when I do use it, I get migraines, stomach cramps and the hammer of a whole-body hangover. Just like when I eat foods containing MSG, at this point, I either get migraines or, for larger doses, muscle trembling and general weakness.
I don't care that aspartame may not be causing cancer. I care that it causes me pain immediately after drinking it. That says to my brain, aspartame is bad for me. Screw them and their study.
Y'know, this is kinda funny. I've recently started taking potassium, in low doses, due to the incidence of leg cramps from other medications. That one supplement has dropped the frequency of my leg cramps from four to six a week, to one a week. I'm still not crazy about getting foot and leg cramps, but hey, it's better now.
Frontier Psychiatrist, the video. (Only relevant for those who remember the Avalanches' one big "hit".)
Yeah. Nothing else new. But I'm so damned stubborn, I think I'm going in tomorrow. And--being Saturday at Free Geek--I just know it's going to be CRAAAAZY.
