well, in case you haven’t noticed, graphics have been revamped. hope you like this new, sparse, “professional” feel…and if you don’t, you can put it in your straw and SUCK IT.

so there was this huge sale today at Best Buy from 6am-noon. woo! i got a cheap memory card for Playstation so i can start another garage for GT2. woo! 200 car capacity! yeah! okay, that is all.

woohoo…sitemeter rocks. somebody from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory visits my site. it’s weird because it’s a government lab AND it’s in Tennessee. amazing how many weird hits i get…in terms of international traffic, i’ve had visitors from Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, UK, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Slovak Republic, and Taiwan. sweet.

so Dan is in Italy…probably cruising around in his newly purchased Murcielago. dang. but oh well…i’m not sure if he knows (and if he doesn’t, he’ll be plenty pissed), but for the first time in history, a wealth of Michelangelo’s works have been transported outside of italy! and where else to but the Art Institute of CHICAGO. i hope he won’t be too disappointed. yep. well, happy Thanksgiving to all (or as Chung puts it: happy kill turkey, then gut, then stuff, then roast day!). mmm…good Chinese food tonight.

i found this humorous article on CNN. seems that there’s more than one way to be depantsed (is that a word?). original story can be found here.

“ZARAGOSA, Spain (CNN) — A matador wannabe thought it seemed like a good idea to get into a ring with a fiesty bull. He escaped without injury — but, alas, he also left without a shred of his pants or much dignity.

After knocking the man down the bull tried to gore him. Instead, it got one of its horns up the back of the man’s pants, ripping his trousers and boxer shorts clean away.

As the crowd roared, the partially-defrocked bull fighter made a hasty, bare-bottomed exit to the sidelines, as the victorious bull paraded around the ring with his underwear on its horns. “

i’ve been blogging for a full year now. weird.

i think it’s refreshing to know that there are people who have already thought of stuff that i think of. example: trash. i enjoy deflating drink containers every time i finish consuming a bottled or canned beverage. i think to myself “gee…landfills are filling up fast, i should try to minimize the space my trash takes up.” at this point, i grin to myself and then compress the can or bottle as much as i can before i toss it into the rubbish bin. delighted with my consideration for the environment and satisfied with my space-saving act, i smooth the wrinkles in my shirt and gleefully resume my day. then after a few minutes i stop and get worried because it’s rather unlikely that everybody in the world crushes their cans and bottles after consuming the liquid within. the air inside uncompacted containers will take up unnecessary space, dumps will overflow, global warming will commence, the moon will turn to blood and the seas will boil over (oh wait, that’s the apocalypse, nevermind)…what ever will we do? and then i realize that there are other people who have thought this over. i remind myself that landfill workers crush trash anyways before it goes into landfills. i suddenly feel better because i know someone’s handling this problem but i also feel sad at the same time because it seems that my extra step in crushing the bottle/can is largely futile. oh well.

wow! it’s international resource day today at The University. what fun! so what’s international resource day anyways? good question…i don’t know either. all i know is that there were globe-like balloons on every table in the cafeteria. attached to the ribbon of each balloon was a little quarter piece of paper with IRD information on it. so i took a balloon and scribbled this message on the back of the paper:

ol_navi@yahoo.com
e-mail me if you find this
subject: balloon

i cut the ribbon with my key and released it from the middle of the quad on this blustery day in the windy city. the balloon was swept away and vanished from sight in a minute or so. then i went back inside and repeated the process with a second balloon. so now there are two earth-resembling balloons (they’re blue with green continents) with my e-mail address on them. cool eh? now it’s just a matter of waiting and seeing what happens.

man…i love “Bon Bon“! (many thanks to Kiwon for hooking me up!) for the sadly uninformed, “Bon Bon” is a Korean drink that is popularly advertised as “grape juice drink with sac”. now, you might be thinking “sac? what’s sac?” and indeed your concern is a valid one, because who really wants to ingest sac without knowing what it is anyways? that’s right: nobody, you bald weasel, nobody. so…i bet you’re still wondering what sac is (either that or you’ve already learned from the picture that it’s actually just peeled grapes). so yes, back to the actual drink, “Bon Bon” comes in a really short soda can which holds approximately 8.05 fluid ounces or 238 milliliters for you metric fools out there. now, don’t get me wrong, “Bon Bon” is refreshing to the last drop…but couldn’t they afford to put it in a bigger can? such a small container means that the time i spend enjoying each sac-packed (8% baby!) serving is considerably shorter than what i would normally spend on the conventionally sized soft drink! such an ephemeral pleasure only makes me yearn for more of that sweet, sweet nectar…what torture! *sigh* well, upon closer investigation, Haitai (the wonderful company responsible for this fine beverage) makes other dynamic foods as well, including “Sexy Potatoes” and “Choco Homerun Balls“! sadly, i have yet to experience these exciting Korean snacks, but i hope to soon…i do believe that they should complement “Bon Bon” rather nicely. so…until that fateful day, i shall settle for straight up grape sac goodness.

we’re not nazis…just very very tired and very very wired.

so it’s 3am. Ken and i are running short on fuel and our exhaustion has made us more deranged as well as sociable. here are our combined ideas. Ken didn’t have the balls to post it on his own blog, so here it is:

here’s an idea. we were just thinking that an institute should be founded where all the hottest and coolest people go to one college. students of this college don’t have to possess both traits, only one. then they could all make really cute babies with great personalities. if their babies were retarded or ugly their parents would be killed and the baby would go to a college with only ugly and stupid people so the hot people could compare themselves to them and feel even more superior than they already are.

we’re so bad, but what can you expect at 3am?..stupid babies?…sucks to be you.
