I like it when women wear shorts, sweat pants, etc with writing across the ass. It takes any guilt away from looking at their ass. If they have stuff written across it, its basically giving you permission to look. |

Watched Clerks II last night. I thought it was really good. It actually was a love story, which was a little unexpected. But it was done well, not over the tap sappy etc. |

[Dec. 7th, 2006|09:15 pm] |
It occurs to me that I have never seen hyenas at the zoo. I think hyenas would be an interesting exhibit, but I"m not familiar with any zoos that have them.
Sudden cold snaps are no fun. Hyenas probably wouldnt like them either. |

| The Breakup |
[Nov. 3rd, 2006|11:57 pm] |
The Red Hot Chili Peppers came to Columbus last week. Two of them are from Michigan, so they thought it would be fun to play "Hail to the Victors" for the Columbus crowd (this is the Michigan fight song). They played this about three weeks before the OSU Michigan game, at a time when OSU is number one and undefeated, and Michigan is number two and undefeated. So this is stacking up to be one of the most important OSU Michigan games ever. They obviously didnt understand how seriously people in Ohio, and particularly Columbus, take the OSU/UM football game. The Columbus fans were sickened by their decision. There have been calls for all OSU fans to boycott the Red Hot Chili Peppers. People want refunds of the concert ticket price because they feel the decision to play "Hail to the Victors" ruined their concert going experience. It has become a big deal. Probably the Red Hot Chili Peppers don't give a fuck, but I bet sales of their CDs will be down in Columbus for a while (let alone sales of any more concert tickets). I was never a big fan of the Peppers to begin with, so its no problem for me (although if I did like them, I wouldnt boycott them for this).
On the other hand, this is the time of year when the Dead Schembechlers perform( http://www.deadschembechlers.com/) If you go to the website to the left, you can read about the band, and also play the Bomb Ann Arbor now video. This is big stuff if you live in Columbus, maybe less exciting for the rest of the country I guess. The Dead Schembechlers are Watershed (an alt rock band) the rest of the year. The Dead Schembechlers have a CD, they get played on local radio, and they perform a concert at the "Hate Michigan" rally the night before the game (so its really kind of ironic that the OSU fans would be so insulted by people from Michigan playing "Hail to the Victors" when they are enthusiastic supporters of the Dead Schembechlers, who sing about bombing Ann Arbor). I might buy the CD though.
Watched the Breakup tonight. It was pretty good. I generally like Vince Vaughn and Jon Favrou (sp?) movies, although it will be hard for them ever to replicate "Swingers". If you've never seen "Swingers" you need to go rent it. Great movie.
Blockbuster has finally gotten smart and figured out how to capitalize on their strategic advantage over netflix- that being their brick and mortar stores. You can now return Blockbuster online rentals to Blockbuster stores. When you do this, the next movie in your que automatically ships, AND, you get to select a free rental from the Blockbuster store. Netflix can't match this because they have no stores. I don't see how Netflix can counter, except by lowering their prices. Long term, both business models will fail though, since its only a matter of time before everyone just downloads their movies from the net. There will not be any frictional cost associated with that (no shipping, no one having to maintain large inventories of CDs in a warehouse etc), and consumers can get the exact movie they want when they want it, so its a win/win for whomever gets this down first. But in the meantime, Blockbuster is trying to take out Netflix. I love the selection of Blockbuster on line. Much better than what is in the stores. The other business model change I've seen recently that makes a ton of sense is Mcdonalds decision to sell breakfast foods all day long. This is a great idea. I like their breakfast stuff more than the non-breakfast stuff. I keep asking at the drive through if they have breakfast all day yet, and it hasnt happened yet, but hopefully it will come to my Mcdonalds soon. |

I was amused on Friday to hear that some grocery clerk in Medford Oregon (I have been there- it has a really really small airport that I flew into one evening, but my luggage didnt arrive until the next morning (Luckily, I had been planning to spend the night anyway, but it did make me late for the wedding the next day because I couldnt leave as early as I had planned cause I had to wait for the plane with my luggage to get there). Its a really pretty area of the country, although if there is such a thing as Bigfoot- this seems like a good bet for where in the US he might live. Anyway, this grocery store clerk has sued Green Day, claiming that in 1982 he wrote both the music and the lyrics for American Idiot. He never actually performed it for anyone, but theorized that a friend of his must have recorded him singing it at some point, and that somehow that tape made it into the hands of Green Day, and that Green Day then waited over a decade to actually release the thing, claiming is as their own work.
Does anyone know anything about Dragon Natural Speak 9 voice recognition software? My fingers and wrist get tired from typing (both here and at work). I would really like to get some type of voice recognition software to avoid the pain. I saw an article/review about Dragon in a Continental Airline magazine several months ago- they gave it a decent review. I've been toying with the idea of getting it since then.
I am interested in farming fresh water shrimp, in addition to being interested in voice recognition software. |

When I tell you the premise of this movie, you'll think its perhaps a really really bad 70's movie. While its not going to make anyone forget Jaws or Close Encounters of the Third Kind, it was actually a pretty good movie.
So here goes.
The boy (played by Don Johnson- the movie was made in 1975 when he was more boy like) and his dog live in a post WWIV Phoenix (the year is 2024). Dogs have somehow become telepathic, and very intelligent (although they didnt explain this, I believe we are to assume this had something to do with mutations resulting from the nuclear blasts- so I guess WWIV worked out pretty well for the dogs). The dog and his boy have a symbiotic relationship. The only food is canned food scavaged from buried homes (all the old civilization is buried beneath the sands). Since dogs can't operate can openers, they need help to get fed. The dog contributes because he can sniff out women for the boy. There aren't many women out there, and so when the dog locates one, the boy rapes them. This is consistent with the cultural norms of the time. The boy and the dog live in a tense relationship balanced by their need for each other's skill. The dog is always imploring the boy to find more food. The boy is always telling the dog to find him more pussy. I know this sounds like a really stupid movie, but it actually is pretty good. |

| The Sun King |
[Oct. 26th, 2006|08:31 pm] |
Louis IV, the Sun King, ruled France from 1638-1715. Thats a long time to be king. His turn at being King was much more satisfying (for him) than the experience of Louis VI, who got a turn at the guillotine (I know, likely spelled wrong) near the end of that century. One of the perks of being king was getting to have lots and lots of girlfriends. And it sounds like Louis had his share. There is a new book out about his women. Seems like it would be a tough book to write at this point, but someone did it.
Another more contemporary Louis IV is the band. If you havent heard them you should search out and listen to "Finding Out True Love is Blind", especially if you are into miss little smart girl with her glasses and her books! |

| Shiny Toy Guns |
[Oct. 25th, 2006|07:57 pm] |
Someone thought they were probably actually "Tiny Toy Guns" because that was more alliterative. Turns out they didnt care about being alliterative because its definately "Shiny Toy Guns". They were more concerned about Riding the Race Car (which I guess is sorta alliterative), and Dancing with Fire (which is not). If you havent heard it, this is currently the "It" song. I hear it virtually every day, and I'm not in the car for long each day. The guy on Fred (who is only on there periodically) gives high marks to their CD. He said tracks 5-9 are outstanding. Anyway, I might go ahead and get it.
To all you spelling nazi's forgive me if I misspelled "alliterative" three times. I did my best. |

| Human Sexual Response |
[Oct. 24th, 2006|07:19 pm] |
I hadnt thought of them in years. Then today I heard their one and only memorable (as far as I know) song "What does sex mean to me". I had the album. Its most inspired line is "I touch my finger to my tongue, I taste vagina. I licked Betty Ford's boots, she wore them all over China". It then goes on to talk about the Chinese communist parties aversion to sex, and its attempts to direct the energies of the Chinese people to more productive activities. I have no idea if any of that is true (the part about the communist party in China, I am pretty sure the part about licking Betty Ford's boots isnt true).
If you've never heard the song, you should find it online and download it to your MP3 player. Its worth it. |

So Skilling got 24 years. I don't know how I feel about it. Although he clearly allowed financial transactions to be manipulated, I'm not totally convinced he understood what he did was fraud. I could see him believing he was just being creative in how he structured financial transactions in order to generate the most favorable result for his company. And as far as what he told the public, I think he probably thought he was just being a good chief executive and was trying to "sell" the company to wall street. Fastow, on the other hand, should have known he had stepped over the line. Although giving Skilling 24 years in jail might be harsh, I agree that he should have to regurgitate all the proceeds from his various equity deals bonuses etc. I actually find myself feeling a little sorry for the guy. The rules were different in the 90's, but we are judging him on the basis of today's rules. Its a little scary. On the plus, the impact Eron, Worldcom, Adelphia etc. had on businesses has been extreme. The reliability of public companies reported earnings is much much better than in pre Sarbanes Oxley days. So in that respect there has been a lot of good that came out of the whole mess. Its unfortunate that it took something as significant as the various meltdowns we had to make it happened, but I think it has (for the time being) shifted the business climate back to where it needed to be. It will stay there as long as people remain afraid (which they are- CFOs and CEOs don't mind the risk of paying a fine, but they don't want to go to jail). Over time it will probaly drift back, and then we'll have another mess and it will start all over again. People will try to get away with what they think they can get away with, especially if there is big money to be made. |

Big news. I spotted a small frog in my pond this morning. I think probably one of the bull frog tadpoles. Hopefully there are more than one in there. Also, I saw a praying mantis out my kitchen window. That was also exciting. |

Today while working out, I saw the first ever episode of Dharma and Greg. It was on FX. I was happy. Its always exciting to see the first episode.
Reds are on a jagged losing skid. It makes me sad and offsets the joy of the first episode of Dharma and Greg.
Reading Ishmael.
Listening to They Might Be Giants.
I like to play the drums.
Dharma is hot, and likely wild and totally uninhibited in bed too. |

| Invasive species |
[Mar. 19th, 2006|08:18 pm] |
I am taken with the idea of doing battle with invasive species. I think perhaps that will be my next calling in life. I really want to battle the nile lizard down in Florida. They got loose when pet owners released lizards that had just gotten to big. They grow to 7 to 8 feet, and stand on their hind legs when they are feeling threatened. They are from Africa originally. They are happy to eat small dogs, cats, and also burrowing owls (of which there are only about 2,000). Fla also has lots of problems with invasive snake species, including the Anaconda (get very big, eat lots of pets). I think its only the female Anacanda that gets huge (like 20 feet plus). The males stay a more manageable 7 to 8 feet. We just don't have the really exciting invasive species around here. We have the ash borrer, which is killing ash trees. We also have various invasive plants. I want a really big nasty invasive animal to battle. I am thinking maybe feral pigs. I saw a show about "Hogzilla" that talked about the process whereby pigs go feral (its a very quick transition). There are feral pigs pretty much everywhere now, and they can be pretty nasty. Usually they are 200 to 300 pounds, although Hogzilla was much bigger than that (like 800 pounds I think). But he was a cross between a domestic pig that gog loose, and a wild hog. Domestic pigs can get 1500 pounds pretty routinely.
I could see myself battling fire ants though. Then I would feel like I was also fighting for the good of ant kind, not just trhe good of man kind.
Gotta go see the War at HOme now. |

| The Bloodhound Gang |
[Mar. 11th, 2006|12:13 am] |
So I never knew the bloodhound gang sang that song about being nothing but mammals. Its a pretty good song. The Bloodhoung Gang is growing on me. Now I know of three songs by them, and I like all three.
I was thinking about hats the other day. I think a hat should be made with a flap down the back. So this would be a winter type knit hat, but have the flap down the back that would keep the wind from blowing in the neck of your coat. Also, some sort of see through flap in the front would be nice. Obviously, you would wear this hat for extreme weather only.
Busy weekend, what with all the basketball games to watch. And then I am told the bedroom is to be painted as well.
We plan to get the basement finished this summer. I think we just need to do it. The basement is pre-plumbed for a full bath, so we'll be able to put a pull out couch down there, and then it will be a good place for visitors on account of the full bath. |

| Free Enterprise |
[Mar. 7th, 2006|06:59 pm] |
I, along with probably thousands of other people, will be adding Free Enterprise to my blockbuster Online Que. There was a story today in the USA today about this movie. It was made in the late 1990's. William Shatner plays himself in it. It sounded pretty good. I guess it has a cult following. I won't get into the plot, but I am optimistic that its the kind of movie I might really enjoy. They did compare the feel to Swingers.
Also, I was pleased to see that Dirty Love won a whole bunch of Razzy awards (given to the worst movie, actor, actress etc.). It won worst actress (Jennie McCArthy), Screenplay (again Jennie McCarthy), Director (her husband), and maybe something else. Anyway, I am one of probably only a couple hundred people to actually see this movie, through BB online. It is easily as bad as they say. It really is so bad, that it was actually kinda fun to watch (once you accepted how bad it really was). The possible low point (and there were plenty) was when some guy Jennie hooked up with in an attempt to forget her boyfriend who dumped her, turns out to have a fish fetish, as in introducing a large frozen bass (don't worry it wasnt very realistic looking)into their sex play. Carmen Electra was also in this, and possibly gave Jennie a run for her money at the worst actress award. This would be a good movie for a large number of really drunk people to watch.
Sons and Daughters premiers tonight on NBC (I think). It looks really funny. |

| Birthday list |
[Mar. 5th, 2006|02:27 pm] |
My birthday is coming up later this month. It is the same day as Carrie's birthday. Some things I want for my birthday:
1) Eurotrash Girl by Cracker without Spoiled Salmon and the banjo.
2) Girls Gone Wild DVDs. You can order them on Amazon! And they are not even very expensive. Also you can order earthworms on Amazon.
3) Book (recently written) on reef aquariums.
4) Book about wine.
5) Remote control helicopter.
6) Ant farm with the blue gell stuff in it (like they took into space).
I like Ants. I have been thinking that whenever I retire from the world of accounting perhaps I will become an ant field biologist. I liked biology I in HS. I didnt like Biology II because it was mostly dissection of a fetal pig, and just learning the names of the pig parts, which was not very interesting. But I figure an ant has lots fewer parts than a pig, so I could learn those quickly and get the parts learning out of the way. Then I could move on the the study of ant sociology, which I think is more fun than just learning the name of ant parts. I had planned some ant experiments for this summer, but Julie doesnt like my experiment idea. I had planned to freeze a few ants, and then try to thaw them out. She believes that when the water in the ants freeze, it will burst their cell membranes and so whenever the ants thaw out, they will thaw out dead (I wanted them to thaw out alive). So I need to do a little more research on this. I dont want to just freeze some ants to death. It just seemed like maybe they would thaw out and be ok. |

| | Eurotrash Girl | ] |
I downloaded three new songs last weekend. Banditos- which is the one where they are singing about robbing some place, and then fleeing to Mexico. They say something about telling the border guard you are John Luc Picard from the United Federation of Planets cause he won't speak english anyway. Also, I got "Little Black Back Pack" by Stroke 9. I love that song. Its a guy singing about finding his girlfriends little black back pack at a friends house and figuring out she's been cheating on him with his friend. She is trying to deny it, and he's telling her its OK, he doesnt want to tangle with her, he wants to tangle with him, and it will all be ok, but just don't expect to get your little black back pack back (and also that he is planning to smash the guys fucking head in). I like songs that have some type of storyline to them I guess.
And then the third song I dowloaded was "Eurotrash Girl" by Cracker. Actually, I heard it on the radio last Saturday. Its one of those songs I hear very rarely, like once every five years, but it always makes a big impression. I have probably heard it less than 10 times in my entire life. Its very memorable. He is singing about searching the world over for his angel in black. He tells stories of the various things that happened to him as he travels around Europe looking for his Eurotrash girl. Funny little anecdotes like the time he ran out of money and had to sell his plasma, then blew all the money that same night buying drinks for a soldier in drag (obviously thinking he was a woman), or when he got the tattoo of the rose and the dagger on the palm of his hand. Its a good song. Also, very long. Over six minutes. I have one other cracker song. Its called "It Aint gonna suck itself". It is also a funny song that tells a story I think aimed at making Virgin Records look bad. Maybe if I was in the record business I would have a fuller understanding of that part of the song. Anyway, he's gone to Virgin Records cause they exercised his pay to play (don't know what that is), but they won't let him in to talk to anyone. He ends up going across the street and buying a popsicle, but they wouldnt let him buy just one so he had to buy the whole box. So that's where the "aint gonna such itself" comes into play, cause the popsicle starts melting as he is talking to some people out in front of Virgin records. Anyway, I digress. Last Sunday I saw that if I bought some Aquafresh toothpaste (which is GREAT toothpaste by the way, I recommend it if you are in the market for some tootepaste)I would get three free downloads. So that's what I used to download these three songs. I was particularly excited about Eurotrash Girl. I went to the Sony website (which I like better than Napster I think)to do the downloads. After I finished purchasing and downloading I wanted to listen to my music. And that is when I discovered a bad thing had happened.
I am going to a new paragraph now to space things out. Really long paragraphs are tough to look at. Anyway, Banditos and Little Black Back Pack were fine and sounded the way I expected. However, when I played Cracker I discovered I had downloaded a version of Eurotrash girl that was Cracker performing with Spoiled Salmon. I have never before heard of spoiled Salmon, and don't know much about him/her/them except for one thing- they play a banjo. So my version of Eurotrash Girl has a banjo where the guitar should be, for the whole six minutes. I'm going to have to probably buy another tube of Aquafresh to download the banjoless version. |

I am now really concerned for Alle's safety. I saw a headline at the grocery store about the evil beachman who is terrorizing the beaches of Hawaii. He looked like some sort of mythological creature. I am sure he is very dangerous. Please avoid the beaches Alle.
Just this morning the letters to the editor of the main newspaper here in town included a letter from a guy discussing all the evidence supporting the idea that dinosaurs lived with ancient man. Most of this centered around carvings and drawings that had been done by ancient people.

David Letterman must be relieved the restraining order was listed. Now he can get back to the sleep deprivation tactics he's been practicing since 1994 against the poor woman who has been denied protection. You'll have to read the story yourself for more info, but its crazy.
Over half of the federal budget is related to Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. And those expenditures will continue to grow unless there are some big changes. Any efforts to improve the overall budget problems will not be successful unless someone has the balls to address these three programs. Fixing social security should be easy- everyone gets fewer benefits. Current retirees and recipients should not be exempt from these changes. They have thus far been the big winners, since the benefits many of them are receiving look pretty good compared to the actual payments they made while working- especially the older recipients, many of whom paid in at very low rates during their working lives. For current recipients, I would consider some program of freezing their cost of living increases. This way they don't actually see a decrease in benefits, but over time the lack of the cost of living adjustments will reduce the value of what they receive. I'd probably have some sort of income test so the recipients who don't have any other source of income wouldnt be hit as badly (even though in effect this is penalizing those people who did a better job of planning for their retirement). For everyone else, benefits get cut. The further away from retirement you are, the more they get cut. No income test. No exceptions. If the program isnt fiscally sound, everyone loses, so we need to recognize there is only so much that can be done without strangling the economy.
Medicare and Medicaid are much more difficult. I have no idea how to fix the overall healthcare problem. However, I think everyone needs to recognize health care is expensive, and you should expect it to cost money. I would like to see health insurance decoupled from employers. Personally, I don't want to have to keep working (when I am otherwise able to retire) just so that I continue to have access to health insurance. I believe the economy would be more flexible and vibrant if people didnt need to consider the impact on their health insurance when they were making employement decisions. Overall, it would lead to a more entreprenurial economy. There needs to be some sort of "group" process for the plans, and guaranteed coverage at some type of standard rate that everyone can buy in at- but beyond that I don't know the answer.
The US (and also most of Europe) were spoiled after WWII (and I think these types of programs in all countries originated after WWII) because of the high birth rates. More babies meant each generation was larger than the last, so these types of programs could work. But now, we have the combination of low birth rates and longer life spans. So the math doesnt work. These problems have already caught up with many of the European economies. The US has been lucky so far, because we have promised less, so the impact on our economy has not been as dramatic, but it will eventually become a significant problem for us as well.
So my message here is that the country needs to show some restraint, and we all need to start electing people who are willing to talk about and deal with (in a realistic manner) these issues. Otherwise, political leaders will continue to investigate the use of steroids in baseball, and debate issues such as school prayer and the teaching of evolution and/or "Intelligent Design", and other issues that they really shouldnt be wasting time with (but do, because its what people get worked up about).
For the record:
1) Baseball should investigate and deal with the issue of steroid use, not Congress. I enjoy baseball, but it is a game, and congress doesnt need to get involved because someone might have cheated in a game. Whether Bonds used steroids have no long term significance (or even short term) on this country.
2) You can explain to me till you are blue in the face that our "founding fathers" meant for this to be a christian country etc etc. What they intended in this respect is irrelevant. I am happy to allow everyone the freedom to pray when they want, and to whom/what they want. But it shouldnt happen in the context of any governmental event. I struggle to understand why the proponents of school prayer get so worked up about it. They can instruct their children to spend a few quiet minutes before each class praying. So what they are essentially trying to do is force their belief in prayer on everyone else.
3) I would really enjoy hearing from you if you seriously consider "Intelligent Design" to be worthy of discussion in a science classroom. I would enjoy it even more if you prefer straight-up creationism. I've had friends in the past who firmly believed the earth was only a few thousand years old and that everything had been created in its current form by God. I found discussions with them to be very interesting. FYI, down near Cincinnati a new "Creationism" museum is being built. People can wander around and learn all about how baby dinosaurs played with Noah's children after they all survived the world wide flood on the Arc. And we wonder why US students don't do as well in science related fields as most/many other industrialized countries. The intelligent design crusaders try to make it clear that ID doesnt say "God" designed things, just that some higher intellect must be responsible. So, for example, they say that perhaps it is aliens. What I want to understand is how the aliens themselves reached the level of development necessary to "guide" the development of all life on earth. Did other Aliens develop the aliens that developed us? At some point, either the aliens had to "evolve" from lower levels of life (without the aid of other helpful aliens), or "poof" they came into existence fully formed. So for this reason, I find the overall concept of ID flawed. It really doesnt explain anything. You always get back to lacking an explanation for how the first guiding intellect came into being, which of course leaves only one answer (if you accept their argument that it couldnt have been evolution). And that is the answer they want you to get to- that it was a supernatural being. Through most of history, items were supernatural until they could be explained by science. Religion has had a long history of fighting against scientific explanation. I find it absolutely unbelievable that school boards can actually consider supporting ID.

Ohio politics are so screwed up. Well, maybe no more than other states, but right not it sure seems like we are. Good advice for any politician is never ever let anyone buy you a round of golf, send you to a sporting event, or loan you a vacation home. It seems like that is what lots of these guys are in trouble for. Although there is also the general contention that the way it works is the Republicans (who control all of politics in Ohio right now, but Dems don't get on your high horse cause 25 years ago I think the Dems controlled everything and had some nasty corruption issues themselves) help the preferred contractors get lots of unbid contracts at inflated prices, and in return the contractor has to make a healthy donation to the coffers of the ohio republican party. Pay to play. A great way to run the government. But I suspect it pales in comparision to the cronyism that existed 100, or even 50 years ago in most government. I think that kinda stuff was just considered the normal way to do things then. So maybe the reason things are looking so bad is because we are making progress.
I never really realized until yesterday (newspaper article) that I am officially part of Gen X. I always thought of Gen X as younger. But I am just an older Gen X person. I don't think I have a lot in common with the stereotypical Gen Xer though. Although the article did say that lots of Gen Xers have found themselves etc and are not just drifting anymore. Maybe I need to rewatch Reality Bites, since that is supposed to be a Gen Xer movie. Right?
A TV which has snuck up on me, and become one that I enjoy (although I have not paid enough attention to know when its on, so I usually see it by luck) is 2.5 men. It is very good. I also have become very fond of King of Queens. Arthur is the best.
I've got to figure out how to psot pictures. CAn you do that with a free account?
I would like to visit Isle Royal (I think thats the name) in Lake Superior. It sounds interesting. Lots of moose, and about 30 wolves. But no bear. Its about a 40 mile long island. The moose migrated in (swam maybe or walked across the ice?) around 1900. There were no predators for 50 years, so they were having a great time. Then in 1950 a pair of wolves walked across the frozen ice, and hit pay dirt. So now the populations sorta see saw up and down. The moose are down to like 540 this year versus 750 or so last year. This is the lowest moose population since 1997, when 2400 of them died in one winter (it didnt say why, bad winter I guess). The last several years the weather has been going against the moose, so they are due for a break. |
