The snow that fell was really wet and then had freezing rain and sleet
on top of it and its been in the 20's since then so the snow is like
bricks.

wonderful discoveries
i'm sitting at work bored out of my mind and feeling homesick for ann arbor, michigan only because it's a great place and you can get such good yummy things there so easily and so close together. unlike this pile of shit where i live now, the south, where mediocre is about all you can hope for.
so amidst my boredom i thought 'OH! why don't i google some of my favorite places?!', and, i did.
Cafe Zola
cafe zola is apparently still going strong, i'm very happy to see. :) it isn't clear if they are still a coffeeshop during the day or if they've transitioned fully to a restaurant. when i lived in ann arbor they started out as a coffeeshop and served savory and sweet crepes and then started doing brunch and then had dinner during the evenings. it was actually really great to be able to go to the same place for lots of different food needs and always know you'd be able to get different flavors each time and it would be consistently good.
Sweetwater Cafe
O M G. how many hours did Jeff and I spend at sweetwater talking and stuffing our faces with something yummy? aahhh, such good memories. i really love this place. it's location and seating inside is wonderful. i also had my first chicory au lait here, so extra special bonus points for sweetwater cafe! :)
sweetwater cafe and cafe zola are actually on the same street and more than once i'd spend a few hours at sweetwater and then amble over to zola for dinner. :)

Ah, the south...
during morning rush hour. Still covered with snow and sleet, no
scraping or salt has happened. Wtf?
Granted this is nothing for a michigander but the retards that live in
the south (yes, sadly I am temporarily one of them) have no idea that
the white stuff isn't acid or a vampire.

when ipods attack!
New York may ban iPods while crossing street
sad to say, but i've done this before, twice. i, of course, disagree with Senator Kruger's quotes. it certainly isn't a 'major public safety crisis'. it's just people being careless because they haven't fully adapted to their new devices. so, it's analagous to people driving questionably when they've just learned how to drive. eventually with repetition they get better at it.
i bet i can imagine exactly how this happens though. blame the blind.
with the sonic alerts at cross walks now you don't have to look up to know when to cross. well, you do if you want to know which way is free to cross but with just the sound you know you can cross somewhere. so if you've been standing there a few seconds and then you hear the sound, you would think to walk. of course, you should first think to look up to see if the light is orange or white, but that's probably where the little disconnect is happening.
so, blame the blind.
actually they could probably still use the sonic alerts if they used directional sound technology, this would make it so that only people directly in front of the cross walk area would hear the alert. if you weren't in that exact area then you would have to look up.
or, people could just see a few pedestrians get run down and then be more careful themselves. whichever.

it's called a sense of irony
ok, the snickers superbowl ad has been pulled and people are getting all offended by it.
come the hell on.
it's totally taking the piss out of homophobes, it's not homophobic itself. no one sees the irony in 2 guys touching lips and then inflicting pain on themselves in order to 'do something manly'?
i think instead we should encourage heteros to inflict pain on themselves, then just sit back and laugh and laugh and laugh.

take some responsibility, boston.
AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE Hysteria In Boston... sad commentary on the times we live in?
***
It's illegal to yell FIRE in a theater - you arrest the person who screamed FIRE! This kid didn't yell, BOMB. The media did, the city did. If there was panic in the city, it was caused by the BOSTON news stations, radio stations and the people in government that leaked the story to them. They're the ones to blame, not the cartoon character.

press conference
Boston Ad Prank Suspects Talk About ... Hair
bahahhaah fuck you, fox news.
these guys stayed on message. i don't know why the press would be pissed at them for not answering their questions. they don't badger the president or other government cockbags when they don't answer reporters questions. maybe these 'journalists' should sit down and re-think a few things.

More Mooninite News
Arrests Made In Mooninite Plot To Blow Up Boston
i agree completely with this guy. it's completely assinine how they reacted to finding 'wires and a battery'. when i was riding in the elevator this morning i remembered i used to have a lite brite as a kid. Boston, you're a douche.
***excerpt***
This entire thing was very funny and wonderful up until the point that freelance artists hired to do an advertising campaign started being arrested. Then, it just became disgusting. There's no other way to say this: the City of Boston had a panic attack over something that was just obviously innocuous and meant in good fun. The 'potential explosives' the Bomb Squad scrambled around the city to blow up were essentially Lite-Brites. This is a fantastically absurd example of how the highly politicized paranoia of September 11th has come at the cost of any degree of common sense, let alone a sense of fun. Peter Berdovsky is in jail right now because politicans have so terrorized their own constituencies that pictures of cartoon characters are now considered genuine terrorist threats.

I would have snapped pics of the veritable wall o' magnums they had but
the nice female pharmacist was right there and I didn't want her to see

some assholes should chill the fuck out
Ad campaign triggers bomb scare in Boston
disarming photo
this is so ridiculous. Aqua Teen Hunger Force (ATHF) ad campaign made some assjacker freak out and a city closes down and the U.S Northern Command is 'monitoring the situation'. W T F ?
that is just fucking sad when a picture/drawing of a character flipping you off makes the police and feds lose their minds.
the mooninites have seriously won this round. Ignignokt would probably be saying 'uormom asked for 2nds'.
and since we're talking about ATHF, let me re-iterate how much Frylocke makes me tight in the shorts. Way.
EDIT 1 :
so i decided to check cnn to see if anything new had come of this and i see this quote from Massachusettes Attorney General Martha Coakley.
***
The devices displayed a "Mooninite" -- an outer-space delinquent who makes frequent appearances on the cartoon -- greeting passersby with an upraised middle finger. But the discovery of nine of the light boards around Boston and its suburbs sent bomb squads scrambling throughout the day, snarling traffic and mass transit in one of the largest U.S. cities.
"It had a very sinister appearance," Coakley told reporters. "It had a battery behind it, and wires."
***
now cmon Martha, YOU KNOW YOU'S A CRAZY BITCH!
it had a sinister appearance?? to who? some retarded 7 year old? a figure with a raised finger was sinister? or the wires and battery were sinister?
cuz, i got news, cars have wires and batteries in them too! ZOMG! we have freeways full of 'mysterious packages' that need to be blown up!!!

BBC BREAKFAST TAKEAWAY
BBC Breakfast Takeaway video podcast
i found the bbc breakfast takeaway a couple days ago and i like it. it's UK specific news but it's fun nonetheless. the announcers, a man and a woman, aren't the typical blustery, slutty, and vapid announcers like we have in the US.

AIDS group alleges Viagra ads promote drug's recreational use
these aids people don't quite seem to get it. the people who are going to 'abuse' viagra as part of partying are already outside of their message. these are people who either don't care if they get poz'd, are active bug chasers, or looking to convert neg guys. they aren't going to be listening to anything you have to say and they're going to take whatever substances they want.
the drug companies commercials are fine, as much as any drug commercial is fine. i think they are offensive, vague, misleading, and inappropriate as a group, but that's just me.
as far as suing the drug company to help care for aids patients, that's a connection that simply isn't true. it isn't their fault that some very small number of people use the drug to assist themselves in getting or spreading a deadly infection. should the makers of horse tranquilizers (K) have to pay for drug treatment programs? of course not. it's peoples choice to misuse any drug, the consequences of their actions are solely on their own heads.

fucking retarded heterosexuals
this isn't the first time you've heard me say this, nor will it be the last.
these are heterosexual parents who are simply retarded. they let their kids expectations (or rather what they imagine their kids expectations to be) lead the way in the planning of these out of control parties.
it. is. completely. retarded.
they could be saving all of that money and, gee, i don't know, putting it into a university fund or even a trust fund for their spoiled kids.
parents like these need to be ridiculed and harshly scorned for being profligate retards.
f'ing retarded dickwads
p.s. and i bet their kids could use a good hard backhand across the face a few times.

S&M bathroom at Murky
Now just hang a sling where the baby changer is, put in some dim lights,
and pipe a little dintzdintzdintz electrobeat and you'll have yourselves
a hot backroom. Some leather cuffs chained to the wall and a paddle
wouldn't hurt either.
