Go fuck yourself.
i've been told this many times, certainly my parents were the first to tell me this, so i'll give them the credit.
If you can’t find anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.

random pictures of the moment: the daily display (v06.24.08.am)
taken during my daily display of human idiocy(tm) this morning.
lots of red lights.
i wonder what those pieces make up. i saw a similar truck the other day with the same type of pieces and wondered.
cliffs along rte 93 south
pleased with this picture, altho slighly misframed. but not bad for how fast i had to take the picture. i liked that the trees that are around this one are full and lush, and then you have the grizzled bark of this one standing proudly above them.

2nd storm vid
here's the 2nd brief vid i shot this afternoon. shows just how much rain there was and it was like that for a good 15-20 minutes straight.

bitchin' stormy afternoon
stopped by market basket to pick up some frozen lunches and just before i got there, the heavens opened up and visibility went from clear and visible to i could barely see in front of me with my wipers on high. a few minutes later, i pulled into the partially flooded parking lot at market basket and spent the next 20 or so mins sitting in my car enjoying the passing thunderstorm. just missed by about 2 seconds a picture of a nice lightning bolt. and a few minutes after parking, i heard a pop which turned out to be the building losing partial power. when the rain stopped enough, i headed in and while waiting in line with my frozen lunches, the building lost all power except for the generator powering the registers and the emergency lights.
the first picture was shot facing south, the second is a picture of the building sign on the fritz, and my first ever youtube vid (it's not very exciting) of the sign behaving all glitchy. (it was off when i left the store.)
R.I.P. George Carlin
JJ & i saw him in lowell a few years ago and had a good time. he is definitely one of the comedy greats who will be missed. and with that, even tho it is a hack thing to do, i give you the one thing that everyone wanted him to say.
Thank you for the laughs.

i received a brief email from M that simply stated "sideways rain!". we didn't have the sideways rain, but it was POURING. (yes, that is a touch of blue sky over the roof of a doomed building)

taken during my daily display of human idiocy(tm). i recognized it as a front loader, but wondered why it had a large fluid filled tank on the back. then i got around it and realized that it was probably the hydraulic fluid that drove this beast.

stopped by chez target on the way home tonight. when i went in, it was sunny and clear, like the right side of the first picture (shot looking west). when i came out 15 minutes later, i saw dark clouds on the left (west/southwest). and it started to rain. i'm pleased (and surprised) that the crappy camera was able to catch the light streaming.
the second shot is looking southwest as i was starting to feel the rain fall. wasn't heavy or last long, but it was enough to deter me from enjoying a nice ice coffee that i would have obtained at the said starbucks in the picture. (it does have a drive-thru but i wanted to walk over.)
is there a perfect album?
last night i was listening to Vast's Visual Audio Sensory Theater and thinking about how it's one of those albums that i just like pretty much all the way through. so i started to ponder what other albums that i listen to that i would consider to be a 'perfect album'.
my definition of a 'perfect album' is pretty much a CD that i can put on that i listen to from start to finish without wanting to skip tracks. and if i want to keep listening to it, all the better.
i tried to think of other albums (and there are quite a few), but the only ones i could think of last night was Garbage Version 2.0 and Nirvana Nevermind & MTV Unplugged in New York.
i'll try to think of others, but in the mean time, what do you consider to be a perfect album?

this could prove to be interesting
granted, it's a highly reputable paper reporting this, but this could prove to be an interesting blend. (you may squee now eva)
Lemmy and Page join forces
Published: 18 Jun 2008
ROCK lords LEMMY and JIMMY PAGE got on so famously at the MOJOs afterparty that they decided to swap numbers.
MOTORHEAD frontman Lemmy and LED ZEPPELIN axe maestro Jimmy were deep in conversation during most of the bash and they clearly intended to continue their conflab at a later date.
But their efforts to swap details were hampered by technology — because neither of the ageing duo could use their mobile phones properly.
One amused onlooker revealed last night: "The pair of them spent an age looking both amazed and confused as they attempted to stab contact numbers into their mobiles.
"They looked like two old cavemen discovering some shiny new objects in the forest."
But a monumental Led Zep/Motorhead hook-up may still be on the cards — because the old-timers gave up their struggle with the phones and scrawled their respective digits on beer mats before parting ways.
The party, at the Parker McMillan club, opposite the awards venue, went on long into the night.
NICK CAVE’s dapper band THE BAD SEEDS toasted their Best Album triumph by demolishing a bottle of bourbon between them.

i got nothin'
i've only just stopped giggling. last week i needed to work on our file/print server, and it was short notice, so i sent an email to the users in this office (who would be most directly affected by my work). i did what i needed to do and that was that.
or so i thought.
just a little while ago, i received the following from of our managers who very obviously hadn't read my message when i sent it.
last tuesday.
june 10th.

dog + beer != good idea
i don't quite know what to say about this. if you give a dog the taste of beer (and they like it), doesn't that make it more likely they are going to go after MY beer?
