They are Crazy.

I'm taking a class with the Applied Mathematics Department.

They have a sweet student lounge, and on the wall of said lounge, the phrase "Applied Mathematics Department." However, some clever students and an anagram engine gave me a few chuckles over my few past visitations, as I have found the following on the wall:

"Email Pimped Attachment"

"The Clap is a damp time"

And in other news: condoms make you AIDS proof.

I hope.

Bliss

I had a great thanksgiving.

I was not on the internet once (I amassed 47 emails). This is a record (4 days) for me being internetless since high school.

I did not make or take a single phone call. (Amassed 15 missed calls and 9 messages).

I wore my hoodie and pajama bottoms for at least 90% of the time.

Wednesday night I slept 14 hours. Ate, socialized. Slept 3 more. Watched "How I met Your Mother" season 2 episodes, went to bed at 1AM, slept until noon.

I love you, Tennessee.

In fact, in my house, in my blog, it will be.

Quote of the year (if you're in Miami)

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Minutes after watching the Miami Heat miss shot after shot in another uninspiring performance that ended in a 91-76 loss to the Charlotte Bobcats, coach Pat Riley was asked what he could do to generate some offense.

"Me? Play. I guarantee you I should suit up. I'd play better than some of them right now," Riley said Tuesday night. "I guarantee it. I swear to God. With an old hip and 62 years old and I can't see, I'll play better than some of my guys tonight. Come on, they were pretty bad."

And Simeon Rice is back with the colts. Back with Dungy. Lisfranc sounds like it hurts, and that is what stopped Freeny's swimming.

There Will Be Me in the Theater

There Will Be Blood - Trailer

Posted Sep 08, 2007

A story about family, greed, religion, and oil, centered around a turn-of-the-century Texas prospector in the early days of the business.



He did it again. So haunting. I gotta change my pants.

I just rented out the entire theater....

Listen: if you have even seen me within the last decade you know that one of my favorite directors in film is Paul Thomas Anderson. Also, if you were any where near me after the Academy Awards when Adrian Brody won for the pianist, you have noticed my hand all stitched up from punching BOmura's 80 inch big screen tv because Brody winning the prize for "learning how to play piano - sort of" meant that a man who portrayed Bill The Butcher, who scared the snot out of me in a 10 second trailer of GOFNY doing nothing but raising his arms as if to say "You want a piece of this?" - did not.

Well, Paul Thomas Anderson (PTA) and Daniel Day-Lewis (DDL) are making a movie called "There Will Be Blood." Which is exactly what's going to happen if DDL is snubbed again. Guaranteed, he will be NOMINATED for Best Actor -Academy Award- for this role. Whether those fat toads in the voting booth will give him the nod or decide to watch "The Departed" again is out of my control.

I saw the poster for "There Will be Blood" when I went to see Wes Anderson's "Bengal Lancer" film. Not bad. Natalie Portman sort of ruined it for me, but less so than what she did to "Garden State." But what Natalie Portman ruined, "Sweet Lime" girl more than recovered. Geemony.

Square State Slump

So, here it is: The Tough Times. Within a period of a week or so:

1) Rockies Swept Away in the Series
2) Broncos get jacked by old man Favre in OT
2.5)Broncos get jacked by the Lions - specifically a 340 lb Lion that has a log for a stiff arm.
3) The Ultimate Frisbee team loses nationals.
4) The emperor passed on his clothes.

Is it hypocrisy if you declare you have been converted?

Please see the comment below on the Posting "Various Shizz."

I think I want to Buy One Get One in terms of an XO giving laptop.

Also, to the lady who was pissed because I just took her load of laundry out when it had been sitting in the drier for an hour: kiss my naughty spot. I don't give a frick if your bras are black on the outside and hot pink on the inside of the cup, or padded so much it is bulletproof.

I remember the first time I had to unload a drier before its rightful owner had come back. It was in the basement of Kitt West, and I reached in their and thought it was funny that someone put a hanger into the drier, and then shook off my abstinence-only education and realized it was an underwire. Then, true to form, as it was tonight, as it always is, she returned just as I was putting the load onto the top of the drier.

"What are you doing?"
"I postulated that only fat girls wore D's - and the proof is in the pudding - which you must've eaten before coming down here."

Yep - quite the charmer for a misogynist.

Various shizz

This teen was too hocked up on Grand Theft Auto to realize what he was doing.

This prisoner is my new hero. He just never quits. Crashing a helicopter? Someone get me a working version of Grand Theft Auto, pronto!

And I think America just had this conversation:

USA: Hello, Third World Country, how can we assist you?
TWC: Please, some water.
USA: 100 dollar laptops? Absolutely. This will be the greatest humanitarian effort ever.
TWC: Please, a little food. Our children are dying.
USA: Dying to get on the web? I hear that. Excuse, I need to text someone.
TWC: We are in the middle of famine and war and inhumane working conditions. Genocide.
USA: You won't have to decide: the laptops will all be the same.
TWC: Please, save us from death. We need latrines.
USA: Hup, my second blue-tooth is jingling. Excuse me a tick. Okay, I'm back.
TWC: Our teeth are blue, too.
USA: They are the greatest aren't they? Well, 100 dollars a pop. And we'll only sell it to you in orders of 100,000, just so we can make some money. Deal?
TWC: If I say yes will give me the Snickers bar stuck in your beard?
USA: A yes it is! Only 200 dollars a pop. Great gravy!
TWC: What? You doubled the price on something I don't need?
USA: You've read Animal Farm, haven't you?
TWC: Yes. F*ck you, Pig!

From NY TIMES ( I store it here because I'm afraid it will go somewhere else)

“Older people complain more about their sleep; they just do,” said Dr. Michael Vitiello, a sleep researcher who is a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the University of Washington. And for years, sleep scientists thought they knew what was going on: sleep starts to deteriorate in late middle age and steadily erodes from then on. It seemed so obvious that few thought to question the prevailing wisdom.Now, though, new research is leading many to change their minds. To researchers’ great surprise, it turns out that sleep does not change much from age 60 on. And poor sleep, it turns out, is not because of aging itself, but mostly because of illnesses or the medications used to treat them. “The more disorders older adults have, the worse they sleep,” said Sonia Ancoli-Israel, a professor of psychiatry and a sleep researcher at the University of California, San Diego. “If you look at older adults who are very healthy, they rarely have sleep problems.” And new studies are indicating that poor sleep may circle back to cause poor health. At least when it comes to pain, a common cause of disrupted sleep, a restless night can make pain worse the next day. Then with worse pain, sleep may become even more difficult — a vicious cycle common in people with conditions that tend to afflict the elderly, like back pain and arthritis.The new view of sleep emerged from two parallel lines of research. The first asked what happened to sleep patterns when healthy people grew old. The second sought to uncover the relationship between sleep and pain.To find out what happens with aging, some investigators, including Dr. Vitiello, studied older people who reported no sleep problems. They actually make up a large group — nearly half of people over 65. Were these people somehow spared age-related changes in sleep?They were not. Their sleep turned out to be different from sleep in young people: it was lighter, more often disrupted by brief awakenings, and shorter by a half hour to an hour. Dr. Vitiello reasoned that the age-related changes in sleep patterns might not be an issue in themselves. Something else was making people complain about their sleep.Dr. Vitiello and his colleagues also asked what normally happened to sleep over the life span. It had long been known that sleep changes, but no one had systematically studied when those changes occurred or how pronounced they were in healthy people.With analysis of 65 sleep studies, which included 3,577 healthy subjects ages 5 to 102, the investigators had their next surprise. Most of the changes in sleep patterns occurred when people were between the ages of 20 and 60. Compared with teenagers and young adults, healthy middle-aged and older people slept a half hour to an hour less each night, they woke up a bit more often during the night, and their sleep was lighter. But after age 60, there was little change in sleep, at least in people who were healthy.And even though sleep changed during adulthood, many of the changes were subtle. Middle-aged and older people, for example, did not have more difficulty falling asleep. The only change in sleep latency, as it is called, emerged when the investigators compared latency at the two extremes, in 20- and 80-year-olds. The 80-year-olds took an average of 10 more minutes to fall asleep.Contrary to their expectations, the investigators found no increase in daytime drowsiness in healthy older people. Nor did aging affect the time it took for people to start dreaming after they fell asleep.Instead, the biggest change was the number of times people woke after having fallen asleep.Healthy young adults sleep 95 percent of the night, said Dr. Donald Bliwise, a sleep researcher at Emory University. “They fall asleep,” he said, “and don’t wake up until the alarm goes off.” By age 60, healthy people are asleep 85 percent of the night. Their sleep is disrupted by brief wakeful moments typically lasting about 3 to 10 seconds. “There is some aspect of sleep that isn’t going to be as good as when you were 20,” Dr. Bliwise said. But he added, “When that crosses the threshold and becomes a significant complaint is difficult to say.”The real sleep problems, he and others say, arise when people have any of a number of conditions that make them wake up in the night, like sleep apnea, chronic pain, restless leg syndrome or urinary problems. That, of course, describes many older people. “The sheer number of challenges to maintaining solid sleep in old age is just huge,” Dr. Bliwise said. “You come out with the question, Well, what is normal? What should I expect?”The new frontier of what to expect, and what to do about it, involves studies of the relationship of sleep to pain. It’s no surprise that pain can disrupt sleep. But what is new is that a lack of sleep can apparently increase the sensation of pain. Michael T. Smith, the research and training director of the behavioral sleep medicine program at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, reached that conclusion with a study of healthy young people. One group slept normally for eight hours in the hospital. Another was awakened every hour by a nurse and kept up for 20 minutes. Their sleep pattern was meant to mimic the fragmented sleep of elderly people. A third group was allowed four hours of solid sleep. Comparing the second and third groups allowed Dr. Smith to tease apart the causes of the problems that arise from fragmented sleep: were they because of the short total sleep time, or because of the disrupted nature of the sleep?Fragmented sleep, he found, led to severe impairments the next day in pain pathways. The subjects felt pain more easily, were less able to inhibit pain, and even developed spontaneous pain, like mild backaches and headaches. Timothy Roehrs, director of research at the sleep disorders research center at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, also found that healthy young people became exquisitely sensitive to pain after a night of fragmented sleep.And getting more sleep, Dr. Roehrs found, had the opposite effect. His subjects were young healthy people who said they were chronically sleepy, just not getting enough time to sleep at night. Dr. Roehrs had them stay in bed 10 hours a night. The extra sleep, he said, reduced their sensitivity to pain to the same degree as a tablet of codeine. Now, Dr. Smith says, he and others have markedly changed their attitude about sleep problems and aging.Of course, he said, sleep is different in 20-year-olds and 70-year-olds. But he added, “It’s not normal to get a clinical sleep disorder when you get old.”

Wow. Hal, take it easy on the Lord... so what if there's chicken stuck in His Beard?

Funny? Ironic?

So for all you fans of athletes who can't keep their genitals out of other people's mouths: they've released one back into the wild.

Did you catch that the lawyer's name was "B.J."?

You can't invent this stuff.

Let Sopcast sop up your non-tv existence

Okay, 1141.99

Did not make the buy it now price. That's okay. I just feel relieved. This is a dangerous game of chicken. A thousand dollars is no chicken feed.

However, if a homerun is hit into section 160 on 10/27 (GAME 3), I'll be beside myself.

Yep.

I was just outbid. Sweet.

Now, the goal is for s***f to come back and have to pay more than the "buy it now" price of 1349.99.

That's like me romancing his wife, while yelling, "Get in your corner, Bits, get in your corner."

That's a movie reference.

To prove my point,

I just bid a 1000.00 dollars.


I guarantee you I will not get stuck with these two tickets. And I think whoever "s***f" is is dumping his pants.

Although, I just looked up his history, and it seems he is a scalper extraordinarie.
