I Hate Being Sick

Know what would be nice right about now? Breathing.

Junk City

Junk City by Enoki Chu, made of drill bits and machine parts

Overheard at Work....

"One time my kid was crying and wouldn't stop, so we put holy water on him and prayed over him and he stopped. I'm serious, it really works."



..


Sometimes the kid just has to cry. Not sure the effect prayer really had here. I just don't understand faith.

Reasons to Love the Criterion Collection

"I've been around the world several times, and now only the banality interests me."

"I will have spent my life trying to understand the function of remembering, which is not the opposite of forgetting, but rather its lining. We do not remember. We rewrite memory much as history is rewritten. How can one remember thirst?"

"All women have a built in grasp of indestructibility and all men's task is to make them realize it as late as possible."


- San Soliel

Someone buy me things I want?

Bookcase by Arianna Vivenzio

I would definitely use something like this. Put up a few around the house both vertically and horizontally and start shoving stuff into it. Wouldn't be a good replacement for my bookcases since I would need about a million, but I'm sure I could find things to put in the rubber band.

Murakami Quotes

"Although I didn't think so at the time, things were a lot simpler in 1969. All you had to do to express yourself was throw rocks at riot police. But with today's sophistication, who's in a position to throw rocks? Who's going to brave what tear gas? C'mon, that's the way it is. Everything is rigged, tied into that massive capital web, and beyond this web there's another web. Nobody's going anywhere. You throw a rock and it'll come right back at you." - page 55, Dance Dance Dance, Haruki Murakami

"It was spring break, so the theater was always packed with high schools students. It was an animal house. I wanted to burn the place down." - page 159, Dance Dance Dance, Haruki Murakami

Darth Vader vs Japanese Police

Yes, it is dumb. But really, fighting against a culture that sells used panties in vending machines on the street? Dumber.

A Bit Off Course

Scientists trekking across a little visited part of Antarctica have discovered a bizarre relic of the Soviet Union is dominating the South Pole of Inaccessibility.

Like NASA for Traffic

Tokyo Traffic Control Center

"The Expressway Display Board, Central Display Board, and Information Display Board paint a picture of the immediate traffic situation by compiling information from cameras, helicopters, police, citizen reports, and over 17,000 vehicle detectors all around the city."

Don't see anything like this in Dallas. Guessing all we've got the retarded monkey throwing poop at a tv set to Fox News.
