dont bother me on thursday night

Cadbury burnt almond bars are absolute shit, I decided to try one because it was the only one of the cadbury family I hadn't tried, that's $1.39 that I'll never have back.
American Idol is back on and despite the protests from every "indie rock" fibre of my body I am thoroughly enjoying it again. The early episodes are the best not to watch the "bad" singers get insulted but to actually watch them. Its to bad most of them are jaded into thinking that they would make some sort of pop idol because they would be amazing if they embraced their odd voices and wrote their own stuff. I find it funny because if any one of my favorite singers went on that show they would get ripped to shreds but just because you don't have a typical good voice doesn't mean that you cant write or create a beautiful and moving song.
All that being said the good singers (that get it) can move you by singing a classic song in their own style, Fantasia was good at that.

livin' on Monopoly and Premium Plus



I have come to the decision that Monopoly is best played when you play it 100% by the rules....none of this land on free parking get $500 bullshit, no land on Go and get $400 bullshit, no paying into the middle, and when someone doesn't want to buy a property it goes up for auction...literally no fucking around.....it works out for a much better game....it does work best when you play it on a computer so the comp can deal with all the bullshit....it is hard to negotiate trades with computer based characters though.....They're too fucking logical....its harder to dupe them.

one other thing...I want to make a t-shirt with a picture of the monopoly guy in jail.....That's funny to me.

the clone wars


SAN FRANCISCO -- Baba Ganoush, left, plays with her cloned sibling Tabouli. The cloned kittens are the first two cats cloned by chromatin transfer, a new cloning technology developed by Genetic Savings & Clone, a pet gene banking and cloning company, who produced the kittens as a precursor to production of the first batch of cat clones for the public. It will cost $50,000 to have your cat cloned.

That Damon from Boston....Not Johnny but Matt

I used to say "Im not a big fan of Matt Damon but he's in two of my favourite movies". those movies being Good Will Hunting and Rounders, but I saw him interviewed today and he was actually a straight up dude, none of the hollywood shit just an actor who wants to be an actor. I dont know the purpose of this entry.

I bought new shoes today <----- thats the purpose.

I dont consider myself to be brand loyal or to be a shill for any product or company but I bought a specific brand of shoes at least a year and half ago ( I wish that I had kept track of when I had bought them ) anyway they have been the most durable shoes Ive ever had. I walk over 10km a day so the amount of wear I do to a pair of shoes is at least 10 times the average person...anyway the last pair of shoes have lasted all this time until the soles wore down ( I feel a good pair of shoes lasts until the soles wear down without any of the stitching coming undone). So today I went back to the shoe store where I got the shoes and dug out the last remaining pair that they had of the same shoes...and now I will know exactly how long they last because of this stupid pointless post.

its actually almost like abstract poetic genius...I like the part about "destroy satisfied bird" and the ending is great "exciting profession bread living" I think what we all hope for in life is an exciting profession bread living.

The best of the best of the best of the best



When I was a kid we used to go the A&P to get our groceries...they had a really weird system there. You would go the check out and ring all your stuff in and they would put it in bags then in baskets (about the size of recycling bins) which had numbers on them they would then give you a tag with the corresponding number and then put all your baskets on a conveyer belt and you would to and get your car and pull up to the front of the store and then you would hand someone your tag and they would fill your trunk with your groceries (because the conveyer belt let to outside).
Sometimes, not very often but sometimes the guy filling the trunk would screw up and mix up 2 peoples baskets so we would get home and find a few bags of other peoples things...some people would raise a huge fuss about this but it was always pretty exciting as a kid and getting to taste a sample of how other people lived...we never really had any frills in our regular shopping items so it we always seemed to trade up. the grocery store tales pt. 2

get in the swing


I was watching TV today and they were interviewing one of the doctors who successfully removed the Egyptian conjoined twins...the surgery took more than 12 hours ( I cant really remember but it was a long process) anyway the surgeon being interviewed made it clear that he believed that a higher power was at work when they
were performing the surgery as if their hands were being guided by God....I hate to be such a skeptic but by that logic it was Gods original plan to have created the conjoined twins. Why would God step in when they were performing the surgery if he created the twins in the first place?? That being said it is amazing that both of the kids survived after the unprecedented surgery.
