soapbox

Last night’s tops all so far, I think. I dreamt that I was on an observing run with thor and Chris. Sounds harmless enough, right? But then we were observing some really freaking bright galaxy, and thor was looking for signs of spaceship travel within it! There was a guys’ dorm and a girls’ dorm, though I can only specifically remember Becky being around, though I’m pretty sure both dorms had many familiar faces. Anyway, I walked into the boys’ dorm to find that they were hatching penguins. But they had to come up with a clever box to hatch them because the heat lamps were too efficient. The penguins also tended to leave something I can only compare to slimy pumpkin guts all over people’s shoes as they walked. So the guys tried to break into the girls’ dorm to let loose the penguins, and it went from me directing everyone to hold the various doors shut, to somehow troops of civil war re-enactors showing up to “fight”. I remember opening a door to find cannons being fired back and forth. Eventually the boys (and the confederate troops) were wiped out and the union troops and the girls prevailed. It was filmed, apparently, and I just thought it was the funniest thing in the world. We went into town then to a fast food place, and everyone in town had heard about it too, and thought it was pretty funny.

Everyone should wear something at least slightly form-fitting tomorrow.

We’re going to take pictures to submit to Cockeyed.com, another quality blog.

Just thought it needed sayin’ and I hadn’t made a post in a while, so there ya go. Fuckin’ shit.

A few weeks ago, I went to a camera store in Hartford. That’s not the important part of the story though, the important thing is that there was a squirrel impaled on a wrought iron fence nearby. I felt like an idiot for not having a camera with me. Plus, I was a little bit curious whether some idiot had taken a squirrel and stuck it on a spike or if if was just the world’s unluckiest squirrel.

Anyway, I had to go to the store again on Saturday and this time I had my camera. The recent snows had pushed the squirrel a bit farther down than it was the first time I saw it.

This photo made me laugh. the article’s funny I guess, but the concept is well-captured.

Onion headline: “Bush urges end to oil ‘addiction’ ”

and from the BBC: “Bush urges speedy Alito confirmation“.

oh, wait, I swapped those. reality imitates fiction?
really, I should have just shut up after the first link, that’d be more funny.
