Pastafarianism

Apparantly the new rage is Pastafarianism, or worship of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. He is some peoples answer to Intelligent Design arguments. I'm not sure the FSM is for me though. I think I'll stick to Christianity even though one of the tenets of Pastafarianism is becoming a pirate to combat global warming. But for my fellow Christians out there: Can you prove (scientifically, of course) that Jesus isn't the son of the Flying Spaghetti Monster? I'll give you a cut of my reward.

Check out the 45's I got this weekend, Duran Duran, David Bowie, Pet Shop Boys, Donna Summer, Prince and more. Now I just need to repair my turntable and I'll actually be able to play records again.

Today I say: To Hell With Poverty (Gang of Four ref)
Yesterday I grossed $212 selling my video game junk at CGE. Of course I bought a bunch of stuff plus admission so the net is down a bit. Then I went out that night and wham net gain $0.

Mmmm... coffee

FWWTRN and WOFWWTRN on Monday got me an awesome coffee maker as a gift:
http://www.cuisinart.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi/en/item.cgi?item_id=DGB-500BK

I'm so excited. It grinds and brews! I'm going to use it as my alarm clock every morning, I can't possibly sleep through coffee grinding AND brewing. I'm going to set it up tomorrow. I need to go and get some beans from my local baristas at Barefoot coffe roasters.

I'm going to set it up tomorrow so it will be ready for Saturday when I go to the Classic Gaming Expo. Oh, Sweet!

Fast + Food = Nothing

Today I was supposed to be fasting....
However, I found out when I got to work that I was signed up for a study in which I was hooked up with a bunch of wires during which time I was supposed to eat lunch. And this was the only day they could have me do it. Eating won. Fasting lost.
I achieved nothing today.

Internet Archive rocks!

I just discovered the most amazing thing. Among the plentitude the Internet Archive offer. They are now offering old public domain movies from the 1920's to the 1960's. There are so many to check out, all free! You can see the movies too.
All the old Bela Lugosi classics are there along with old horror flicks, b-rate space movies and silent comedies. Sweet!

Post-Boardwalk Insomnia

I just got back from the Boardwalk and let me tell you, every line is significantly (4x) shorter than a similar ride at Great America. Only 30 minutes wait for the Double Shot which is way cooler than the 2 hour wait for the Drop Zone. I had a dime on each knee on the way down and they hovered off towards the beach as I freefalled down. Oh and 65 cent candy really isn't worth it, they give you way too much. They really should pay you to take it from them. Now 65 cent funnel cakes would have been an excellent deal, too bad they don't do that.

I've determined my insomnia isn't due to caffeine consumption since I didn't have any Monday and I was up late. It has to either be due to all the stress at work or me being nocturnal.
Well and its not actualy insomnia since I'm not really tired. The only reason I want to sleep is in the hope I can get up in the morning without a fight.

Mahalo

Today I went to the Aloha festival and experienced some hawaiian food. Pulled pork and huli-huli chicken (I'm calling it hula hoop chicken). The food was ok. There was also a ton of art/crafts but I didn't get any since I can't possibly need any trinkets. I did however buy some hawaiian coconut desert mix stuff that is like jello. Unfortunately, I left it in someones car.

On a somewhat seperate note:
Hawaii culturally seems ok, but not awesome. I'm too much of an anglophile, bring on the British culture:

Everyone needs to get tickets to this. Modest Mouse, The Killers, Arcade Fire and Mindless Self Indulgence all on the same day. All killer no filler.

Public Access TV isn't all bad...

I wish this was showing on my TV: http://www.mega64.com/
I also wish I knew people who wanted to make videos like this.
