This unfortunate girl was told that Kanji Characters represent letters. They don’t. Therefore, She is the proud owner of a tattoo that says Supermarket.

Margot & the Nuclear So and So’s have been named one of Spin’s bands to watch this year. I caught their performance at SXSW last year and it blew me away. I have long ago been hardened by the malaise of catching way too many shows but the magic was definitely there with these guys. Its a little folk with a touch of the indie orchestra. Most of what I was told about them consisted of rumors that someone heard while staying at their Indianapolis commune (of sorts). Half truths like: “They have bunk beds stacked to the ceiling and sleep 9 to a room.”, “They all fuck” and the best was “Their percussionist is always TRIPPING!” During the live show his very energetic and interpretive dance seemed to be evidence enough to support that claim.

Rumors or no, the fact is that they are amazing on record as well as live. Get their 2006 album, “Dust of Retreat” Another one is coming soon (being finished as we speak).

I’m fine with high places as long as I feel secure; you know, like i’m not going to fall to a mooshy death. When i’m in an uncomfortably high place I get this feeling in my spine that shoots to my gut and then makes me feel like my brain isn’t getting oxygen. I have no stories of, “I was a kid and my dad threw me up in the air and dropped me” to justify this fear. One day, I will jump out of a plane. Until then, even videos like this kinda give me that sick Acrophobic feeling.

Oh Sarah…

I watched the Game in Portland. (I know it was on Jan 27th last year, but you know what i’m saying)

I very much love and miss my Portland friends.

I didn’t know, so you probably didn’t know. But Garbage Pail Kids have rebirthed (link). I remember collecting these as a kid and then my mom throwing them away when I was 7. When i was starting out on ebay in 1999 i bought some that are collecting dust at my parents house in Grand Island.

I haven’t seen the GPK movie since I was a lad. I remember bad fashion design involving boogers.

Lesbians figured it out. Boldly they asked the question, “Do we really need men?” and they dove in head-first to find the loophole. Now it seems their all-girl utopia might also finally be a reality.

British Scientists have figured out a way to make SPERM FROM BONE MARROW!
via The Daily Mail:

…According to New Scientist magazine, the scientists want to take stem cells from a woman donor’s bone marrow and transform them into sperm through the use of special chemicals and vitamins.

So it seems that we have two years before they have this perfected. Guys, get it while you can.

On the upside, this whole process is a big middle finger to critics of stem cell research (a.k.a. loony religious fucks). With this method, stem cells could be taken from saaaay a terminal cancer patient to impregnate a woman. Wheres your sanctity of human life now?

Hello. I used to have a blog back in 2003/2004. I generally used it to talk shit and bitch about whatever id gotten drunk and felt passionate about for that month. Although I feel that I unfortunately haven’t progressed as a human being much in the time since, i do feel that i have become a funnel for useless information that i dispense at random. I will now share with you the things i find in day-to-day life that I find interesting.
