Reality Out of Sync

According to my bestest soon to be living the rest of his life in my basement as an attraction for my sadistic needs to torture and maim human’s beyond all recognition blogging buddy, Grant I am both a heretic and blasphemer. I have lost the true way (you’re still gonna get it in your house, as soon as I get that address you bunny thief, nothing is going to save you) and have ignored the J-Bunny population enough to draw his ire. This saddens me, but he did make up for kicking me in the virtual groin by providing me interesting game links. Which I will employ to download neato keen J-Games! So here’s to you Grant, my most favorite, hated, favorite, person of all time on the interwebs!

I enjoyed every waking moment of creating this – even though the gallery sucks balls as far as implementation. I’ll see if I can’t fix that later on, I think I like just a column of pictures better, but that’s me.

Almost forgot…I think my neighbor died. If you’re curious as to why I’m up when I work nights, the freakin’ police knocked on my door for 10 minutes to ask me if I’d seen the guy at all. Seriously, his car was running from last night. I think he had a heart attack, he was a big fellow. Fancy that!

Movies: The Watchmen. Horrible movie. The graphic novel, excellent. Loved it. The movie, is horrible. I tried to give it a chance. I liked the ambiance, I didn’t mind the rather gratuitous action (as poorly choreographed as it was), and I didn’t mind the costumes (it’s a super hero flick!). The acting was wooden, the camera work was terrible, and the love scenes (absolute suckage as well) were just funny. I laughed through the entire love scene on the Owl Ship. It was absolutely horrible. Total suckage.

Dinner: Ate dinner at a very small Italian Restaurant. I don’t recall the name now (wtf??) and it was absolutely brilliant. The sea scallops were pan seared with a lemon sauce drizzled around risotto and green sugar snap peas. Excellent. It was absolutely wonderful. I loved every bit of it. I have to say it was the best dish I’ve ever eaten from an Italian place other than Chicken Parmigiana. Absolutely Pwnage.

I’ll end this on a high note, cue a page from Grant’s book. Cue serious pwnage from Thailand, Sunaree Phongakarn:

Yah, it's hot...

The flu. The first week of this month I had the joy of puking (no thanks to Grant this time /sadface) for an entire day. Between the painful spasms that wracked my abdomen and the blowing of my nose due to the unpleasant nature of vomit escaping into my sinus cavity I realized this truth: Nasal Wash is an entertaining experience.

I didn’t use a neti pot, but I had the joy (should I enjoy this feeling?) of forcing saline through my nose and into my sinus cavity. It was a slow warm prod, like a liquid finger just behind my eye which then exited my skull via the opposite nostril. I did this twice per nostril, and it’s definitely a unique experience. It was almost like drowning, except I could breathe through my mouth. There’s nothing quite like it I tell you.

I got to spend a lot of time watching television, and I realized just how much I hate day time TV. No wonder half the population of our country is borderline zombified. There is _nothing_ good about day time television. I have Direct TV, so I at least can get away from the talk shows and what not; however, I’ve seen every episode of CSI that has ever been created. I’ve never been so pleased to actually go to work.

Grant needs Jesus. He also needs to have his chainsaws taken away. While we’re working on a list of things that he can no longer have on his person, in his car, or in his apartment, or at work for that matter everyone pray (because he is going to personally come here and bludgeon me to death with a toaster after this one).

Grant, I love you like a step brother with no arms and is strapped to me daily so that I have to lug you everywhere. Please don’t kill me, but you need Jesus.

Moving on to more important things, I read a lot in the papers and online that the Republicans (the party not every single republican in the universe) are tossing the word Socialist around like it’s a contagion or something. Something that needs to be stamped out because it’s against all that is free and beautiful in this world. Jesus was a socialist….keep that in mind

Seriously though, there are a few socialist programs we have in the US and there are socialist programs currently working in other countries that aren’t all bad. I personally think that Health care should be a more socialist practice. I’m of the opinion (and this is totally based on the type of individuals I meet and interact with on a daily basis in a hospital) that a lot of doctors, no not all of them but some of them are motivated by high dollar counts. They are arrogant creatures that aren’t really all that special in the world. You have your stars that shine bright (usually researchers) but your run of the mill clinician is not special. He’s not much smarter than anyone else; however, he put in a lot of time and spent a lot of money to get where he is and is entitled to treat you, the average citizen like a piece of shit. I believe this because they treat me like a piece of shit right up until their computer breaks..hehe. Suddenly their whole attitude changes. I like to call it ‘The Humbling’.

Any how, Socialism isn’t bad. It’s just different. It’s probably nicer (on a moral idea) than having your health decided on whether or not you can make the co-pay, or whether or not your insurance company decides to stop paying for something because this new drug works better but you happen to be allergic to it so your bill increases. I especially like that they torture children because the practice makes more money that way. I know this from experience, take your child to get skin testing by an Allergist at a non-educational facility and see what they do. It blows balls.

Also, sphincter!
