bubbs?

For the past couple days I've tried getting on bubbs, but every time it says it can't find the server...anyone know if bubbs' down or if it's just me?

Happy New Year!

Hope ya'll had a good one, wherever you be: Singapore, England, or Japan.

I shall be myself in Goode Olde Englande in a short 24ish hours.

Apocamon

Incase you ever wanted to see Revelation pokemon style...

The cuddly Aslan

Pressies...

Ok, stuff is in the mail for those I have the addresses of.

Thoughts?

It sucks!

a thought

If you have a restaurant called Black Angus with a neon sign outside, you had better make sure one of the letters doesn't go dead, you know? I mean, seriously.

today in commons

Well, I met her today. Was no particular magic, and I felt a little sheepish (and out of breath for doing errands and visiting directly). She seemed pretty shy. huh. what do you think boys?

brace yourselves

Coca Cola is about to make a starbucks-esque comeback. I present to you: "Blak" coffee cola.

i dont' often

I don't often go to comedy club on bubbs. but for some reason I went today and found this. Pretty pscyho.

you're invited

this coming wednesday is my final exam in welding class... we're welcome to invite friends/family to come. Should be a nice time of getting together, and the people are all really interesting. I'd recommend it as a random "do something" event. Part of an evening commitment and nothing else, free dinner.

Oh. The exam IS a dinner. It's a barbeque to be exact. So it should be mighty fine. No alcohol, but we're experienced at having a good time without, right? I mean, remember the days way back when... when.. we didn't drink and stuff? Yeah. Those days. Anyhooo, it's an open invitation and it'd be great for you to come. 6pm Wednesday. I'll give you more info if you want it.

Ah!

You know how everyone else understands everything, and then one day you catch up? Well, I'm not really talking about everything, I'm just talking about one thing. I now understand the word... ruminate. As in to think about things.

Ok, so I was reading this James Herriott book last night, and there was this really funny story about his partner doing surgery on a cow. And the goal was to remove a wire from the cow's reticulum. A reticulum is the cow's second stomach, so you have to cut into the first stomach to get to it.

The first stomach is called... the rumen.

As in, to ruminate. When a cow pulls its cud up to chew on, that's also called "to ruminate." Our human use is metaphorical!

In the story, the cow ruminates all over the guy doing the surgery, which is really funny. Actually, what really happens is that when he pierces the rumen all the pent up gas propels the ruminant like a hose all over the barn. But we humans just ruminate over different topics.

Topics like ruminant. I ruminate over ruminant!
