grapes of wrath and tangerines of decay
Have you ever noticed that you can buy lots of different sorts of fruit juices in jugs and cans and whatnot, from the dry goods section at room temperature, but orange juice is always refrigerated. I wonder why that is?

Tom Waits For No Man! (or squid)
I am SO GODDAM EXCITED to see the fantastical genius Tom Waits this Saturday at the Ohio Theatre.
This may well be a once in a lifetime opportunity, and I cannot express properly with words how ecstatically anxious I am. I feel like its fucking Christmas Eve.

Fuck the FED. Im sick and tired of being treated as a substandard citizen, or as if my hard earned money is worth nothing, simply because I am not in your little bank club. Fuck you for not cashing my checks and fuck you for making it so hard to use my own damn money. Its things like this that make me glad I do not give my business to your fascist bank branches. Why should I give all my money to an organization that is just going to turn around and have the audacity to charge me money for the use of my own money. FUCK YOU ALL

happy world rat day!
its world rat day everyone! lets take the time to appreciate our furry friends today by showering them with affection and treatsies! i'll be baking a tiny cake for our ratties today.
usually, when we tell folks that we have pet rats, their reaction is "eew! gross! why would you want rats for pets?!" most people associate rats with vermin and plague. well if you or anyone you know has had pet rats, you will know that they are intelligent, affectionate, clean, and entertaining pets. i have had a few hamsters and even mice before, and i have to say i like the rats best of all. they smell less, are friendlier, and you can train them and play with them almost as you would a little doggy. we often joke that they remind us of tiny monkeys, the way they behave mischievously and demonstrate their smartness so much. they are adorable and we love them.

THIS reminded me of some weird memories... view my comment at bottom
this TED talk by david gallo has some amazing footage of cephalapods and bioluminescent deep-sea organisms.
and THIS scared the crap out of me... mainly because they are hateful, ignorant, bigoted sentiments i have heard mirrored all too often in real life. i may consider arming myself soon.

great freeware RPG
i am so addicted to this game!!! i like it as much as zelda, and it has a pretty big fan community of developers, with lots and lots of new content and bonus levels/mini game sequels a decade after release.

a feeling of weirdness; interacting with other creatures
a paper i found today discussing the training of dolphins in humanoid vocalisations got me to thinking about how we as a species treat other creatures in our environment, and in turn the environment itself.
the author states that throughout the experiments, he and his coworkers expreienced a seemingly direct correllation between the success of the training and the trainers confidence in the outcome. (and the possible perception of this belief by the dolphin)
he also notes the implications in our treatment of and communication with other creatures and our search for extra-terrestrial life:
"It is not a question of whether we are emotionally prepared in the long run to confront a message from the stars. It is whether we can develop a sense that beings with quite different evolutionary histories, beings who may look far different from us, even "monstrous," may, nevertheless, be worthy of friendship and reverence, brotherhood and trust."
