i know this is completely random, but i was reading an article this morning about how boeing employees have gone on strike because of labor disputes and on the same page they had a video for the 787 dreamliner aircraft, that will be even more delayed because production of all boeing planes have currently stopped. anyway, the icon for the video had a picture of the cabin of the plane, and how much do all of those seats just look like a whole bunch of penises?

i buzzed off my hair a few weeks ago, and last week i buzzed it even shorter a day before eric and i spent 5 hours out on the boat during one of the sunniest days of the year. i put sunscreen on my face, ears, neck and arms, but i forgot to put some on me noggin. i got pretty badly sunburned on my very fair scalp, but mostly forgot about it because it didn’t hurt too bad, until yesterday when it started to peel, but of course it just looks like regular ole’ dandruff to everyone else. i’ll be wearing light-colored shirts for the next couple of days :/

what the hell is up with this headline? cnn already mocks its own credibility by selling t-shirts with their ridiculous “news” articles, and now this?

i’m not sure if ana and her lexus are trying to be funny or are just completely clueless. funny either way:

for those of you that watch ninja warrior (sasuke) on g4, you might appreciate my feeble attempt at this mini sasuke course they have at muscle park in odaiba. these 4 components are usually in the third round of the sasuke competition.

the propeller bars were stupid easy, all upper back. the cliff hanger was easy for the first third of the stretch, but to get to that second level? you need to do a one handed pull-up with your left hand, with only an inch of space to hold on to. seems impossible. watching the video, i think i could’ve done the jumping bars, if i wasn’t so tired and used a different technique. i should’ve done a full pull up first and then just flung the bar up, instead of trying to do it all in one motion. the sliding bar was easy to get across, but if you watch the show, you know many a competitor failed where i did… i’m not sure how i should’ve handled that section. but from here on out, all my gym workouts will be back/bi’s and wrists.

ninja warrior is on g4 every day at 6p and 9p

but i could see how it could be confusing. the otsuka group, the same fine folks that brought you pocari sweat, brings you this calcium enriched water supplement for your pets:

i was washing dishes and knocked over a red wine glass that ended up breaking at the stem and the bottom half ended up pointing down into the drain. the diameter of the base of the glass perfectly fit into the drain, so there was no way to get any leverage to pull it out. after thinking and taking pictures of my predicament for a few minutes, i found a suction cup dart and that did the trick.

The weirdest thing happened last night. I woke up, trying to find where i’d kicked my blanket and realized i was actually on the couch! I sat up completely disoriented trying to figure out what was going on. All the lights were out, and I couldn’t see any clocks, so at first I thought it might still be kind of early and I fell asleep waiting for Taka to get home. I stumbled over to the bedroom and the bedroom door was wide open, it was 2:30a and Taka was sound asleep.

I woke her up and asked her if I was sleeping on the couch when she got home and she that I had just got out of bed a few minutes ago. I imagine I woke up to go to the bathroom (i had a couple of drinks before i went to sleep), went to the bathroom and then accidently went back to the couch instead of the bed, dozed off for second on the couch and when i couldn’t find blankets woke up.

It took me a while to go back to sleep as i tried to recall any of it happening. At some point I got back up and walked throughout the house to make sure I didn’t try to make a sandwich or paint the walls or some of the weirder things i’ve heard people do while sleep walking. I did notice that the pillows on the couch were arranged differently, like i do when i nap there during the day. Anyway, less drinking before bed for me.

what the hell? some of the cnn articles now have a t-shirt icon next to them where you can click to buy a t-shirt with that article title on it? while it sounds completely retarded, i’m sure someday there’ll be a headline that i can’t resist.

By Maria Castro

Milagros Rios, a 35-year-old waitress and single mother of two in New York City, thought she’d seen it all. But when she walked into her bathroom about a year ago to find her 18-year-old daughter Nicole laying down on the floor and sleeping with a battle of vodka and a box of tampons in her hand, it was a sight she’d never envisioned.

Nicole had been experimenting for the third time that year with a new method to become intoxicated. She had soaked tampons in vodka and then introduced them into her anus and vagina as though she were having her period, in the usual manner. She claimed her body absorbed the alcohol faster that way than if she had drank it. Soon enough, she lost control and couldn’t even make it back to her bedroom. She did it to avoid having the smell of alcohol on her breath.
