ween & flaming lips

Yummy!!

we transfered our plants from the ground at our old place to pots (actually buckets and trash cans) at our new place. they're all lined up beautifully on the patio :D.
here's our first edible fruit produced! i'm excited. any ideas what to do with banana peppers? we haven't got any of the other ingredients to make salsa yet and i don't want to waste these guys. they smell really good.

what the fuck are we doing out here on this desert?

I've started the book. It's as good as you would expect

Interesting experiences in the drive-thru pt 2

Last night we went to Taco Bell and the car exploded in the drive-thru. No joke, smoke and everything. While we were waiting for a tow truck, i was watching traffic pass. two trucks went by, one after the other, pretty shitty trucks. somebody must have thought they were cool though because the trucks were all jacked up and had ground effects. it was pretty funny.

'Magic Mushroom' Drug Study Probes Science, Spirituality

Volunteers who tried the hallucinogenic ingredient in psychedelic mushrooms during a controlled study funded by the U.S. government had "mystical" experiences, and many of them still felt unusually happy months later.

According to the Baltimore team, nearly two-thirds of thevolunteers said they achieved a "mystical experience"with "substantial personal meaning." One-third rated thepsilocybin experience as "the single most spirituallysignificant experience of his or her life," and another 38percent placed the experience among their "top five" mostspiritually significant moments.

Most also said they became better, gentler people in thefollowing two months. "We don't think that'sdelusional, because we also interviewed family members and friendsby telephone, and they confirmed these kinds of claims,"Griffiths said.

heh, i just found another article about the study. It's from China and involves the word "magic."

This is kinda fun

I got Flock and i've been playing with it for today. It integrates a lot of things into the browser. It has pictures on the top from flickr and photobucket with drag and drop-ability. And right now, I'm typing this blog into a pop up window that will publish it to blogger for me. The bottom has this cool thing that you can just drag web content into and use later. Sort of like Google Notebook, but it's not in the way. I actually used it to hold some pictures that I put into notebook later (by drag and drop). I added some extensions too; web developer, google notebook (it tries to make you think it won't work, but it does), gmail checker, del.icio.us. It's built off the Firefox browser so it's pretty much like using that, plus. The thing i don't like is the first time you start, it takes FOREVER. Not unlike Firefox. I solve that by never closing my browser. w00t

Interesting Experiences at the Drive-Thru

Sometimes we go to a McDonalds for breakfast on the way to work. The way this McDonalds is laid out, there is one lane for the drive-thru that splits for two ordering kiosks then converge back together to get to the windows. There is a lane around this for getting around the building. We got in line and got up to the split, but the line wasn't moving so we waited to see who would go before picking a side. Behind us were about four or five cars. We notice a lady in a white car start to back up and go around another car and try to go around us. She got next to us so we went to a kiosk. She had the nerve to honk at us. She was trying to cut! Didn't you get in trouble for that in elementary school?? I just don't understand... what was the point?

Some people like morning coffee, others like to suck on a battery

ha, so apparently ie gets pissed if you try to call a javascript function twice. my bad. but my "FUCK YOU IE" still remains valid as IE has no native support for m-jpegs. ugh. what am I supposed to do now???

FUCK YOU IE

Error on page!?!?! it works in Firefox, wtf is wrong with you. Yeah and how about error codes that actually tell me something. I totally know what "Object Required" means especially when the source code there is a BLANK LINE.... seriously. So I said, 'maybe the code generated from this site just doesn't work.' and tried a whole new page with nothing else. IT'S FINE. no errors at all!!! I didn't change it a bit to add it to the existing page and BAM, errors. Fucking IE. I don't care what anyone says, IE 7 is NOT going to be cool. It's going to suck just like it does now. wooeee, tabs!! yeah, everyone else did that 3 years ago!

GAHHHHHHHHHh

boom

they shot off some fireworks yesterday and i tried to take some pictures from the 3rd floor. my camera ran out of batteries and there was a window in the way, but here they are anyway

wow

google made a blogging widget. how very exciting

You Asked For It

not really, i just made that up. i remembered to take pictures of that other thing, you remember right? i forget...

Save the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus

Yesterday, I was browsing around teh intarweb and ran across this. I sent it to someone cause it was really funny. he messages me:
him: what?
me: what?
him: The reasons for this dire situation include: decimation of habitat by logging and suburban encroachment; building of roads that cut off access to the water which it needs for spawning; predation by foreign species such as house cats; and booming populations of its natural predators, including the bald eagle and sasquatch.
me: yes
him: yeah, its a joke
me: IT'S A FUCKING TREE OCTOPUS!
of course it's a joke
him: sasquatch?
me: seems fitting

He told me later he thought maybe octopi could have evolved into land creatures so he didn't know it was a joke till he got to the sasquatch part. Too funny!

so many levels of wrong

so, i totally have to remember to get a picture BUT... there's this cemetary right by where i live and they have a big yellow sign advertising newly available, limited time only space. it's so horribly wrong, but it makes me laugh.

it's quote day today. although i believe i've successfully updated this infrequently enough that no one reads it.

looks like it's still the same fight.

the reason we can't use solar power is because the sun goes away every night and no one knows where it goes!

so tonight we went to a comedy club. it's in the rich asshole part of town now, so that sucks. it's on the second floor and we got there early so we're jammed in a tiny space trying to let the people inside get out so we can get in. and... there's this drunk bitch behind us. this drunk bitch tried everything to get in front of us and yelled at everyone who was moving cause she wasn't. luckily once we were seated, she was in the front and we were in the middle-ish. so i don't hear from the drunk bitch for a while. finally, lewis black is up there. if you haven't heard him, try to cause he's fuckin funny. anyway, he was talking about some bill to allow people to carry concealed handguns. then he said, Dick Chaney... and that drunk bitch and her friend were like, oh, he's a great guy! much booing followed that comment. Lewis asked her why she said so and she was all, oh he's smart and he's been in office for a long time blah blah i'm a whore. so Lewis tells her no, she's wrong, he's not a good guy. she keeps trying to defend herself and finally he says, "shut the fuck up." so finally they shut the fuck up and he goes on to tell us how it was supposed to go and then go on with his sketch in a similar fashion. i could see one of the drunk bitches from my seat and after that incident, she pretty much sulked at every joke he made. then.... dun da da daaaa... SHE WALKED OUT! both of them. it was awesome. the crowd all cheered when she left! the best part is, her husband stayed for the whole show and laughed his ass off.
