This morning I saw a sparrow chase after a moth.
And then I saw it eat a moth.
I know I shouldn't root for the moth because this is all natural and these are all natural things that are happening, but I always root for the prey. I mean, all they're doing is minding their own business---and then all of a sudden they're getting fucked with.
And eaten.
Ben J. and I watched "Demons" and "Demons 2" this past week.
They're gross/gory (awesome) Italian zombie movies that I hadn't seen since I was 8 or so.
Well, damn, I thought I had some clips of it to show you, but I don't seem to have any favorited.
So, instead you can watch this video of a testicular examination:
I'm not entirely sure why I can tolerate/accept gore in older horror movies, but I have no tolerance for it in newer movies (e.g. "Saw" and "Hostel"). I was talking to Ben about it last night, and I came to a conclusion... But I forget what it was.
Oh, wait, I found some stuff for the "Demons" movies:
Boss.
In other news,
I'm no longer having back pains.
Not sure what I'm doing differently, but I can finally tie my shoes and such without feeling like I'm going to die.
Maybe it was my body telling me that I'd been 23 years old for too long.
It wanted me to be 24.
I am totally going to take a nap at lunch.
1 hour and 19 minutes to go.
I use Google Earth at work. And usually, it'll start out work-related, but then I end up jumping all over the globe. Typically, I go to Egypt, London or the Bay Area. Ok. Getting back to work...

Fastoche, mes dix doigts sont très facilement trouvables, vu qu'ils sont toujours au même endroit.... sur mon clavier ;)
Et pour prendre la photo, rien de plus fastoche aussi, il suffit de saisir l'iPhone entre les dents et d'appuyer sur le bouton photo avec la langue :D
its a strange thing the Mercury Music Prize, because, where does the Mercury bit come in, is it something to do with the periodical table, or the Mercurial delights of the nominees,,, well , what can you say about the nominees, you wonder where these people choosing this stuff get off... Robert Plant ??!! an album so dismal and lacking in any musical merit, its unlistenable dirge washes over you as you imagine the old rocker in some room with Alison Krauss, yuckeroo,,, and Radiohead, its hardly their best work, Adele ??!! c'mon , your having a laugh aren't you ?? the thing about it is that they obviously keep on picking bands who almost immediately fade into obscurity,, so they have had to pick a few recognisable ones this year to give the thing some credibility, as its already a laughing stock... but the albums have to be a bit 'lefty' of field, otherwise why not have done with it and choose Sugarbabes and Take That.. we'll see how long we have to put up with Adele for, another album packed full of nostalgia for those kiddies who have never heard any soul music before.. cripes... if it was any good or any use to anyone apart from the huge major labels pushing the 'same-old-same-old' you would have a large number of unknowns, Blues bands, Indie Acts, R&B artists, (Estelle is good live but its a very boring album),, , country, rappers, where are all the successful Asian UK Asian acts ???!!! c'mon, Robert Plant??, the album is ******' tripe.
La Jolie m'épate. Serait elle parfaite? Magnifiquement belle, sexy à mort, profondément altruiste et engagée, dynamique, des Golden Globes et autres divers Awards, Ambassadrice à l'ONU, mariée à Brad^^, 6 enfants de moins de 6 ans, adorée dans le monde entier, même par la presse, et les blogueurs^^, un vrai métier en plus, sans parler de compte en banque (ce serait bas^^).... Ciel... aucune ombre au tableau? Loin de moi l'idée de chercher la petite bête à Mme Pitt, bien au contraire, mais c'est juste que je ne crois pas à la perfection, mais alors pas du tout. Ni aux femmes parfaites, ni aux couples parfaits, ni au bonheur parfait, ni à l'amour éternel....Qu'adviendra t-il de cette jolie famille dans 5 ans... après les nuits blanches, le rythme éffréné, le quotidien usant, les hauts et les bas, les épreuves inévitables, les engueulades à cause des enfants, les stress d'emplois du temps croisés, les priorités de chacun.... et bla et bla et bla.... l'argent fera t-il la différence? La facilité, quelques soucis en moins, certes... mais jamais l'argent n'a sauvé les couples. En bref, ma belle Angelina, je vous souhaite tout le bonheur du monde, et une bonne dose de chance pour vous débarrasser de l'étiquette "Femme Parfaite"..; parce que de tous les fardeaux, elle est sans doute le plus lourd.
Happy Birthday to my Angel ReRe.
I was at a store a while ago and was getting ready to pay for my stuff. I paid with, I think, a ten dollar bill and a few one dollar bills. The lady behind the counter held each of the bills to the light to see if they were fake.
The ten dollar bill and the one dollar bills...
I didn't know if it was me, maybe my shifty-eyed gaze, maybe the look on my face that says "I pay with counterfeit one dollar bills," but she felt inclined to verify they were real.
Weird.
The photo below is a fake dollar bill, by the way. Don't go trying to print it off this site and paying with it at stores.
Based on some of the recent explorations in our practice we designed this semesters task for the Students of the Dessau Institute of Architecture, Bauhaus Dessau: to scrutinize floral entities an their underlying geometric logic to create spatial conditions:
For a while, my toilet has been running. Like, after you flush it, it makes that swooshing/whistling noise. Except, you know how it's only supposed to make that swooshing/whistling noise for about five minutes and then stop? Mine has been going on for, like, 2 months.
It has been driving me CRAZY! Not only that, but I imagine a lot of water was wasted (shame!)
I like to sleep with my doors open, but with the noise going, I had to keep both the bathroom door and my bedroom door shut.
Until today. I fixed it! It's completely silent. I am SO frigging handy in the house.
I should start my own business. Here's what I'm good at around the house:
- Shutting toilets up
- Putting together children's furniture from Ikea
- Hanging things level-y
- Pulling stuff out of the garbage disposal
- Changing that rubber band-y thing in the vacuum cleaner
- AND MORE!
I'm totally gonna be a handy-person.
