speed trap

2009-12-03T01:44:00.001-06:00

today i watched a 5 officer speed trap on a busy downtown segment... they were pulling over cars almost as fast as officers could write tickets... it was hard core; they even pulled over a bus. i guess it's nice to see other countries still have this* problem.

Madea goes to...

2009-12-02T01:34:00.003-06:00

the only thing about "madea" movies is putting "madea" into other movie's titles...

crouching tiger, hidden madea
madea, with a chance of meatballs
the wind in madea (a.k.a. the sound of madea)
sleepless in madea
the little mermadea

market day

2009-11-18T17:53:00.000-06:00

this week i went crazy and bought 3 veg i had never bought before: bok choy, radishes and celery. (and i had never tried a radish before).

maybe next week i'll find the courage to try a plum...

new instrument

2009-11-17T18:03:00.000-06:00

this was a crazy "chinese steel drum" instrument with an eerie, hippie feel. i have no idea what it was.

2009-11-16T00:25:00.000-06:00

size matters?

2009-11-15T00:21:00.000-06:00

so is this a really small person or a really big skateboard?

2009-10-28T19:38:00.002-05:00

it feels like i'm ALWAYS changing the roll.

sickness

2009-10-27T03:03:00.002-05:00

two things i have learned from suffering a cold this week:

1. watching a die hard each day of a cold is an excellent way to pass time (and dream about things blowing up)

2. chips sound crunchier when you're filled with sn*t.

black barbie

2009-10-21T15:13:00.003-05:00

cnn says: "The new black Barbies released by Mattel have fuller lips, curlier hair and other features that the company says more accurately represent African-Americans."

... because the one thing Barbie is known for is "accurately representing" Americans

outliers

2009-10-21T01:00:00.001-05:00

i've been reading the outliers and learned that there are no rags-to-riches geniuses who magically rocket to a successful life through some super-human intelligence or ability.

they all (bill gates, the beatles, etc) put in 10,000 hours of "practice" before their lucky break launched them into a phenomenal career.

i've got quite a few more hours to log before i hit my 10,000.

(although i do have 80,000 hours of sleep under my belt!)

so what have you been up to?

2009-10-20T03:26:00.002-05:00

so what you been up to lately?

oh, not much. just grocery shopping with bret. that's right, i even got to see his baby.

(not jemaine. his offspring.)

so math isnt a job requirement??

2009-10-18T02:46:00.002-05:00

shopping for thermals, half were labeled "50% off" and the other half were labeled "3 for 1"

i asked the clerk which sale price was correct: "they're normally 3 for 1, but we're currently running a sale so they're only 50% off!!! better get some before they go back to their normal price!!"
