We need to get to 88mph!

Charlie Chaplin? Fantastic! The idea of time travel? It would be pretty cool. A time-traveling extra in Charlie Chaplin's film "The Circus?" Uh, what? A guy was watching the movie on DVD and an old lady (or a man in drag as he points out) appears to walk by in the background talking on a cell phone. Of course, the only explanation he could come up with was that said extra was a time traveler. Seriously. Like a time traveler is going to show off as an extra in a movie on a phone that can't get a signal because it's 1928... C'MON!

Coulda shoulda woulda or something like that

Remember when Ford stock was $1 when they were in so much trouble ~2 years ago? I do. I remember thinking, "If we buy it, they'll go out of business. If we don't it'll go up." I remember talking to Fronte about it all. I remember when it jumped to $3 and thinking, dammit! Now it's at $14 a share and they beat their third quarter estimates. Wow.

Who's up for some sushi?

Paul the soccer predicting octopus is dead. It seems like a conspiracy to me. "Let's bump off the traitorous octopus!," was the cry heard around Germany after Paul didn't pick them to win. Now he has met his maker.

Say it ain't so Roo

Sir Alex confirmed that Wayne Rooney wants to leave Manchester United after his contract is up. It hurts. He hasn't been in top form by any means, but I want him to stay. Hopefully Sir Alex can start treating him a bit better and the tabloid pressure will ease up. Other coaches around the world have weighed in and think he'll remain at Old Trafford, but they might just be plotting to get their dirty mitts on him without distracting their current rosters. So go ahead Fronte and leave a comment about how Sir Alex is a nutter. You might be right.

Coffee stains

Don't you hate it when you get dressed in your finest long sleeve t-shirt for a day of work and you drip a few drops of coffee on it? Now I look like a slob who doesn't care about his work appearance.

Ding dong

The hair is gone. I had Lindy take a one guard to my melon tonight. YES! Like Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite, I was hot.

Paladino will be the next political foot-tapper

Mark my words, this guy is going to try and fuck a police officer in a bathroom stall within the next year.

Favre's wiener

I haven't seen the pictures, but they say it won't make anyone feel less of a man. What is wrong with these people? Why do these extremely famous athletes keep doing such stupid things? I wonder if Babe Ruth sent dirty telegrams via Western Union to his mistresses back in the twenties.

Hey sugar stop
Meet me outside the locker room after the game stop

Johnny Depp is quite possibly the coolest man on earth

I used to think that guys like David Bowie or Mick Jagger were among the coolest, but Johnny Depp tops all of them easily for doing things like this.



You've got some celebrities like Cameron Diaz who won't even sign an autograph and then you have this guy who gets a fan letter and goes to her school in character. He's fantastic.

Red Sox owners to buy Liverpool

Hahahaha. Why would you want to buy a team that is in the bottom three right now? Dirty little scousers.

Suzuki, Negishi, and Heck

These three chemists just won the Nobel for chemistry for their contribution to palladium catalyzed cross coupling reactions. Without their research, my job would be much more difficult and it's already a pain in the ass on most days.

Blog books

I just published my last blog and saw an ad from blogger.com saying that for less than $15 I can print my blog into a book. Seriously. So if anyone wants all of this drivel put into a book, let me know, haha.

October 2010 can suck it

So far this month has been pure shit. Well maybe not so much the first day or two but these last three can lick my balls. This is a classy entry so far, no? Anyway, yesterday I was multitasking at work and forgot to add one reagent to a reaction and fucked it up. NEAT! Then today when I was trying to recover starting materials from the same reaction, I ended up spraying a bit of acidic water in my face a bit from a quick pressure build up in a separatory funnel. It stung a bit but I washed my self off fairly quickly.

Then there's Lindy and her work going all shitty right now. They just laid off some of her coworkers and now the fear of her losing her job is back. DOUBLE NEAT!!

Add onto that kids that aren't listening for some reason and a whiny dog and I'm about to lose my mind.

One good thing is the new Maximum Balloon cd. It's David Sitek from TV on the Radio and it sounds like a much dancier TVOTR. Not typically my style of music, but maybe Project Runway is rubbing off on me a bit more than it should. Oh well, fuck it.
