"Ich hab kein Hoschen an"
blog fizzling out? no!
have we not content left to flaunt on our blog?
as more and more of our bulbs burn out, we should say goodbye to big incandescents and hello to xmas strings and color duraflame logs. what says holiday cheer more than dim lighting that makes us look more attractive. and along the same line of thought, who's down for some exotic nog recipes: emu egg nog christ i love christmas. i'm ready and willing to program some holiday songs onto the sequencer and my itunes shared playlists will soon feature the seasonal favorites by kurtis blow and snoop.
also, steve will be graduating law school mid december. we should do something relatively nice for him so we can count on free counsel until we can count on tess for free counsel.

Police Causing Trouble
So they won't arrest a bunch of kids blasting Aerosmith and rattling my windows at 3 AM on a Wednesday when I call them, but they do arrest cheerleaders for having sex in a club??? Who is against this? Jesus christ.
I like the way this article made the Yahoo front page. I've got to figure out what they use to decide what goes there. Must be related to click through rates.

I know everyone's seen enough turtles by now but...
...but how can you get sick of turtles?
When we went out on Halloween (and pre-Halloween), nobody had anything bad or mean to say about the turtles. Everybody was excited, everybody wanted to relive a happy moment of their life by singing the song or giving shout-outs to their favorite turtle. It was pretty goddamned heart-warming.

Queen of Science
Nerds always want to put some stupid quotation at the begining of their powerpoint. Usually they pick some crap from Shakespeare or Goethe. But yesterday this prospective employee took it to the next level: "Life is only good for two things: discovering mathematics and teaching mathematics." (from Poisson of both Poisson's equation and the Poisson distribution... does anyone else have an equation and a distribution named after them? Is there a Gauss equation? Kenny/Patrick are you reading this? Ok, enough...)
Mike recently observerd "Math textbooks are only good for one thing: propping up the projector."
Man I hope we hire that guy.

Without Arvel We are Nothing
Guess what night it is?
Tuesday night. And if you run in our circle, that means it's movie night. But not tonight. Because despite my spending a full half hour today in the video store (Lost Weekend is my store of choice these days, mostly because of proximity) deliberating over what to show, when 9 o'clock came around (9:15 really, I know everyone is slow), nobody buzzed our door. Sadness.
This sad state of affairs begs the question, what went wrong? Firstly, Arvel is out of town. That means that he isn't around to encourage his housemates and hangers-on to come, or to bring beer and such. Secondly, I fear that as Brett put it "there is something wrong about movie night." He argued that at movie night he is surrounded by friends, but can't interact with them because there's a movie playing. Thirdly, maybe nobody likes SLC Punk?
So, I open this to the audience (thought it is likely just my roommies that are reading this, who come every week out of inertia), what needs to change about movie night? Is there a movie you think will bring the droves? Should we just show cartoon shorts and then have time to talk to each other? Should I chain Arvel to our couch so that you all are forced to come over here once a week and visit him? Let me know.

open thread
from my vast experience sailing the blogosphere, i know that the best thing for a blog is the open thread. so i pose the question, if one were to launch a box of candy with a slingshot high into the air and then down into a crowd of drunken revelers, does it slow to a safe speed before striking someone's skull? and if not, should a good human care?
