Things I Don't Remember

What have we done to our animals?

floatingjetsam — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 03:48:37 +0000

And by our animals I mean NOT our animals, because we don’t own them! But we gotta keep ‘em safe and stop pushing them to extinction. And if not extinction, then we surely drive them to insanity. Case in point,

This poor, terrified monkey saving a little puppy from an explosion in Nanjing, China.

And:

in 2008, this panda hugging a police officer’s leg following an earthquake.

I mean, I guess the earthquake wasn’t our fault or whatever. But wait, maybe it is! God is punishing the homosexuals with natural disasters, right? That is what’s going on! Anyway, the poor animals are suffering because of us. Save ‘em!

Awwwww yeah

Made this all buh muhself (as in, I spent WAY too much time making this).

From Entertainment Weekly:

“That was a nice accident, done in one take. We thought it would just kind of splatter against the house, but I held the pizza in my hand, testing its heft, and just gave it my best effort. Turned out nice, didn’t it?”

I <3 you Bryan Cranston.

If only the oil spill had happened 19 days earlier and turned out to be some cruel April Fool’s prank. Fuck.
Anyways, so it’s July now and that’s still going on, but back in April the world was a little more care-free… can we get back to that, please?

Why I Give My 9-Year Old Pot

Not my 9-year old son, Marie Myung-Ok Lee’s son, chill! Really interesting read, and the first two essays are also worth a look. I’m glad someone’s getting something like this out in the mainstream media. The stigma is so dated. Seriously, the side effects of the millions of pharmaceuticals on the market are insane. But no one considers that!

Carl sez, “A petition to make Hella- the official SI prefix for 10^27, for measuring things bigger than Yotta- (the prefix for (US) billion trillion). For instance: ‘the sun (mass of 2.2 hellatons) would release energy at 0.3 hellawatts.’ It would also come in handy for eventually measuring Internet traffic and US national debt.”

2009, you were just alright to me; obviously we had some good times. But there was a lot of shitty stuff you put me through too. So that’s why I was all “Peach out, sucka. It’s TwentyTen from now on! Laaaaate.” Don’t take it the wrong way though, no hard feelings right? Time keeps a chuggin’ along…

2010? You know, I can dig it. So let’s get back to the month that started it all:

Things Remembered: December 2009

floatingjetsam — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 04:22:10 +0000

Here we go, on to December. When I think back to this past December I think about… well I don’t really know what I think about. Or what I was thinking about. It was December for Christ’s sake. I don’t remember what I had for breakfast let alone what I was thinking 6 months ago. I was probably getting geared up for being in the Christmas spirit. It’s always the same feeling that time of year where I want to feel Christmasy but usually don’t. But this past year was a good Christmas. Plus watching the It’s Always Sunny Christmas special was good fuel for that fire.

Now, for the Googlies:
