cosmic winds

the world is a tiring place for me today. and i found the interview OnA had with Larry Charles on his about to be released movie Religulous interesting and entertaining. it sounds like the type of movie i would enjoy.

after the interview and heading over to XM, they were discussing the interview and one of the points brought up was what happened to create the big bang. people can't seem to wrap their peabrains around the concept of nothing. what came before the big bang? we don't know and that's where the whole faith thing comes into play. people tend to think that there has to be some 'god' that was there IN THE BEGINNING.

that may be so, but one of the few bright moments of the day was the thought that the universe was created by nothing more than a cosmic fart. (i probably have george carlin to thank for that subconcious thought.)

this was another bright spot. that monster busted all kinds of building today.

you. dumb. IDIOT.

i'm not a big fan of Jack Cafferty, but kudos for this one. she is truly disturbing, and the depths of her inexperience truly offend me.


and Wolf, you dumb asshole.

(thanks OnA for playing this)

random pictures of the moment: and boom goes the dynamite

something tells me that this isn't going to be a big seller here in the boston area. i can't quite put my finger on what it is, something isn't right.



new series: view from the desk (not mine)



daily display: *bloop*



this monster is currently in the process of destroying the building behind it. that claw is bigger than i am and it's fun and entertaining to watch.

the word for the night is fluster

i've been getting calls all summer (even tho i'm supposedly on the do not call list) from an automated caller that says they want to speak with my about my account.

now, i understand that if it is a company that i have done business with before, or it's a political party, they can call. and i understand that not everyone follows the do not call list (not mandatory unfortunately).

these assholes fall into the 3rd category. at no time during the call, do they say WHO they are, or WHAT account they want to discuss with me, yet they seem to call me 3-4 times a week without fail. so when they called tonight, i actually answered the phone and pressed 1 to speak with a live person.

so, douchebag asshole gets on the line and starts rambling about something, so i stop him and ask why they keep calling me. he hits the rewind button and starts rambling so i try and ask what it is they do, are they a bank, or some sort of generic consolidator.

apparently 'generic' completely threw douchebag asshole for a loop and before i had a chance to ask them to remove me from their call list, he muttered something (i don't think he swore at me) and then promptly hung up on me.

i have no idea if they will call me again, but i think they will. in the meantime, i think i'll see if i can put together a quick fax server and plug it into my phone. maybe that way it will actually remove me if it thinks this isn't a phone, but a fax.

i wonder if someone has a telezapper i could borrow...

that sucked

well, it's some ungodly hour right now and i just got back from the office. we had some sort of network issue that i'm sure could raise some hell had it not been resolved. fortunately, it was and that is good.

the only reason i'm posting this is on my way home, i saw one of those trolley tour buses on the highway and it was having a party. for what looked like 6 people or so (one woman dancing, most likely sloshed). it looked like your typical dance club, only on wheels which i thought was pretty amusing for 150am. i don't think i've seen that before. i did see a converted school bus that was similar, but that was the first tolley tour bus dance club.

rather odd. anyways, i'm tired and hope to get some sleep before my boss wakes me up in the morning to find out what happened. i was leaving him VM and as i was wrapping it up, i accidently hung up, so i just left it at that. hopefully he'll check his email, but i doubt it. it could prove to be an entertaining call if he wakes me bright and early...

random pictures of the moment: toilet paper

both shots taken yesterday.

the equivalent of toilet paper stuck on your shoe:



this isn't the greatest shot in the world, but after trying to get it in a moving car for 3 days, it's as good as i can get for the moment. is it just me, or does Fox25 anchor Mark Ockerbloom (left) look like a creepy pedofile? i certainly don't believe that he is, but the whole look in his eye (the "i'm a serious reporter" look?) combined with the darker shadowed coloring look doesn't help. plus whoever created the billboard shouldn't have chopped the tops of their heads off. a quick crop at the chest and slide them down would have saved them from having their heads cropped like a yummy soft-boiled egg.

claims

i noticed the other day that mouth wash seems to be leading to this trend of "12 hour protection". the idea obviously is that you use it twice a day, you get 24 hour protection. not really, but that's what they want you to think.

the other night i gave it some realistic thought and came to the conclusion that it was a bogus (duh) claim. like most people, i brush my teeth twice a day. before i goto bed (~11pm) and again when i get up in the morning. somewhere between 6-8am typically.

so if i use my mouthwash at 11pm, i'm covered until 11am (according to the claims). and if i use it again in the morning (say 7am to split the difference), then i'm covered until 7pm. but if i don't brush my teeth immediately after dinner, but wait until i'm getting ready for bed (~11pm), then there is a 4 hour window where according to the 12 hour claim, i'm not protected.

not an overly profound observation, but i was amused.
