Footage of the hurricane devastation is rolling in, and it’s just terrible. 80% of New Orleans is under water, looting is rampant, and I’m sure you’re all aware of what happens when it floods in a city with above-ground cemeteries. If you can spare some cash, give to one of these organizations. They all have [...]

I enjoyed these I’m Alan Partridge soundclips very much. Before listening to these I’d only seen a few clips of the show, and could never understand why they won’t release this hilarious-sounding stuff in the States. Now that I’ve gotten a good listen I get it. It’s the same copyright nonsense that’s keeping WKRP off [...]

* Is the Army really going to be in Iraq for four more years?? That’s awful for the troops, and means the next president will have to adopt this mess. ‘Starting to sound like another Vietnam… * Nebraskan baristas must scare easy, if they’re spooked by abandoned Barbies in the bathroom… * Animated version of [...]

I pissed Matt off good by mentioning the highly unscientific claim that a lot of pedophiles arrested by the Toronto Sex Crimes Unit are Trekkies. Matt loves his Enterprise so he wasn’t taking this sitting down… We’re only talking about 100 arrests– they all have breathing air in common, too– but some pundants are all [...]

New toilet installed yesterday. Pure bliss, not having to go downstairs to pee… But now we’re left with the conundrum of what the hell to do with the old armario de agua. Matt wanted to donate it to the ReBuilding Center, but I say it’s unethical ’cause it’s not low flow. (We called and it [...]

* Stuff I wish I’d thought of: bookcases made of recycled books. Trippy! * Of all paper products rotting in the dump, pornography breaks down the slowest. Now, is that ’cause the paper’s shiny, or ’cause it’s stain-proof? * Mess with your head with this nifty optical illusion. Yes, I see the damn dots, too! [...]

History is being made today in the Gaza Strip, as Israeli settlers are evacuated from their settlement homes. I’m so torn. I want the Palestinians to have a land of their own, but kicking people out of the only homes they’ve even known… But what were Israelis doing there in the first place, or in [...]

* The Cassini spacecraft started picking up radio waves from Saturn’s polar auroras in 2002. Listen, especially if have co-workers nearby you want to freak out. * More space audio. I want to know why this stuff sounds so much like the Forbidden Planet soundtrack, if they only started recording this stuff a few years [...]

The cement is gone! It’s out of here! Our backyard expanded by 400 square feet, oh yeah. Only prob is, now we’ve got to spread eight cubic yards of dirt where the giant holes are, which is exhausting after several weekends of cracking and moving cement. ‘Least I’m burning calories this summer. ——————————————————– * Ladies [...]

My “Summer of Surrealism” is coming along nicely. I’ve finished five of the Lemony Snicket books, bought more Flaming Lips albums and Hellboy comics, and saw The Calamari Wrestler Friday night at Clinton St. Theater. This was one of the cheapest, stupidest, strangest, and funniest Japanese sci-fi movies I’ve ever seen. He’s just a squid-headed [...]
