ketchup and coffee



eager for breakfast
but lacking sufficient funds
feast on condiments

little more conversation, little less action

"I may have grown up on punk rock, and I may lift my spirits with techno, but hip hop is my gospel. Even if I do come from a middle class suburban household, I still hear the message. Everyone, except for maybe the ultra rich, wants to rise above where they're at. It's Manifest Destiny. The roots of hip hop are instilled with that vibe. Even if the current wave of artists are less concerned about the message and more concerned about record sales, its spirit is out there. Let's just hope someone remembers what to do with it when it's rediscovered." --from Preshrunk via lj

"what's the name of the computer that beat kasparov?"
"skynet?"
"skynet's the computer in terminator!"
"well... it could probably beat kasparov too. skynet's a dirty cheater."

tom wanted credit for this
t:"I heard constantine was actually pretty good."
"well, it's good that it's good. I would've seen it either way because I'm a sucker for action movies."
t:"you're a sucker for keanu."
"what gave me away? the life-sized poster I have of him hanging over my bed?"
t:"no... that it's scratch and sniff."

I may have a preoccupation

"does she buy rubber penises in bulk??"

"you know how we used to joke about the nuclear reactor under tech [a huge building at NU]? campus nukes i want my own reactor."
"your gasoline powered vibrator isn't powerful enough?"
"no man. i don't like the fumes it gives off"
"I'm surprised you can smell anything in that face mask."
"it has nose holes... though sometimes i get carried away with the latex"
"that's a lot of set up. for like, what? a minute or two?"
"and years of hazy, braindamaged memories"

"how ugly do you have to be to be a ho wannabe?"

all that we see or seem

"you need pants that lift and separate."

note to tucson drivers: you're probably driving too slowly if you're getting passed by a fucking HOUSE.

"is there only one definition for perineum?"
"the area between the balls and anus?"
"yeah."
"think so."
"... why the FUCK is it the name of a medication in two of my dreams??"

"I'm not saying that's true, I'm just saying that's what they said. and come to think of it, what they said may be suspect.... we're talking about people who've been known to get tattoos instead of paying the electric bill."

"did I tell you about that dream I had where I was eating quarters?"

your free time, your business

"he is the guru of all things lame."

"I feel so bad for him, I just want to kick him in the balls."

"you play poker?"
"nah. I always end up naked."

"new year's is a holiday for amateurs; people who don't ever party get all excited and retarded and have to 'do something' which translates to 'get stupid trashed, get all the cops out on the streets and generally fuck things up for people who've been partying the other 364 nights of the year.'"
"they mess everything up for the 'professionals.'"
"exactly."
"and by 'professionals', you mean 'alcoholics.'"
"basically."

flagrant nerdity

“i was thinking the other day about what if we were all hit with a weapon of mass destruction, i'd be totally fucked in a mad max world. i mean, you don't need corporate lawyers or computer programmers in post-apocalyptic society. as soon as my spaghetti-os ran out, i'd starve to death.”

“final fantasy 7 is one of the main reasons I joined the air force.”

“what are you watching”

“some bond movie… ‘the world’s not big enough’ or something like that.”

“they need to install drool troughs at the apple store.”

“virgin mobile is charging to block yourself from dialing certain phone numbers to prevent drunk dialing... so you block them before you start drinking. awesome.”

site update

we are in a rebuild. this sudden bout of productivity was partially inspired by an influx of "free time" (by which I mean "time that should've been spent on more important projects") and partially by the increasing number of web browsers (safari, opera, firefox) that don't let you cheat as much while writing code for web pages. in the process recoding, I managed to clear out some of the ass-suckage that's been bogging parts of the site down since its inception. I am aware that a few stylesheet modifications now make the site look like ass on internet explorer, I'll fix that after I fix my computer (long story.) you shouldn't be using internet explorer anyway; it's like telling your computer to stand on the street corner, drop trou and grab ankle while you surf the internet. ie can make your computer embarassingly vulnerable.

almost everything appears to be in order, but if you encounter something looks blantantly and unintentionally wacky, by all means, please let me know. in the meantime, thank you for stopping by.

quotes by misc friends

"children glob onto me mostly because we have the same needs and wants: eat, sleep, go to the bathroom, someone to pay attention, something to poke at and occasionally mess with. we understand each other. this is why I get along with my dog as well."

about a $50 yoga mat (we were walking through one of those zen yuppie stores):
"for that amount of money, I could've bought the child slave in India who actually made it."

"you should come by later. we're helping an illegal alien get married here at 5, hanging out with some wine and stuff, then a couple of belly dancers are going to perform at 8."

about a girl who whipped around and glared at us for no reason as we were driving by:
"that's the look some praying mantis would give after eating her boyfriend."
