Who Has My Big Toe?

And the mummy went searching through the museum groaning "Who has my big toe?" Ok, ok, I'm done with the bad campfire story now. Just thought I'd share some historical news, since I do love history.

An artificial big toe attached to the foot of an Egyptian mummy …

A Truly Democratic Culture

This quote was on my iGoogle today:

Television is the first truly democratic culture - the first culture available to everybody and entirely governed by what the people want. The most terrifying thing is what people do want. - Clive Barnes

Oh so very true. Especially …

Women Targeted by the Abortion Industry

Yes, you read that right. "Women Targeted by the Abortion Industry." At work today I was downloading a Catholic podcast for a client. Looking at the list of podcasts, I saw this title and it made me think. There's an abortion industry? This is news to me. Hell, I …

Poll: Americans trust Congress over Bush on Iraq

Most Americans see President George W. Bush as too inflexible on the war in Iraq and prefer that the Democratic-run Congress have the final word on when to withdraw U.S. forces, a Washington Post/ABC News poll showed on Monday.

I guess when you fuck up for this long …

Creative Zen Vision:M MP3 Player

My old Dell Digital Jukebox (from like 5 or 6 years ago) finally drove me insane enough that I shelled out a few bucks and got a new MP3 player. I wanted something that was around the same hard drive size as my Dell (20 gb) because I wanted to be able to play not only …

K-OS- Atlantis-Hymns for Disco

After browsing the iTunes Music Store I found this album by hip-hop artist K-OS. I've heard his name in underground hip-hop circles for quite a while but I've never actually listened to him before. I had to pick up this album because of the review I read online. I …

Tech N9ne- Misery Loves Kompany

I recently obtained Tech N9ne's new album that is releasing on Tuesday. This is just an album to tide his fans over until his next release Killer. This album, which is an album of collaborations with other artists, is a really solid album for being an album they are …

Squishee Blue

I went to 7-11 today. I felt like a Slurpee. The Slurpee was replaced by a Squishee machine, an obvious tie-in to The Simpsons movie that is coming out. As I sit there pouring my Blue Vanilla Slurpee Squishee, I begin to think. Why aren't there more blue colored …

Binary Star-Honest Expression

I've written about Binary Star before (also read the comment about them), so now it's time to make them a song of the week pick. I've been meaning to put up this song for a while as my SOTW but keep forgetting for some reason. It's one of my favorite songs by the …

Not all too surprising really. We, in …

4th of July

I don't think I'm really doing anything for the 4th this year. I'm just gonna chill and enjoy a day off. Maybe play the Wii. I doubt I'll set off any fireworks. Last year, for the first time in the 10 years I've lived in St. Peters, we got hassled by the cops for …

New Theme

So for the past couple weeks I've been searching for a new theme. You might have stopped by while I was testing some out. I had maybe 3 different themes up over the past few weeks but kept going back to the previous because I wasn't feeling any of them, even after …
