18:42 Jesse: :(

 me: maybe if you try hard enough, you can tunnel through....

18:43 I'm waiting for you, just outside the finite well!

 Jesse: I go both ways, I have a wavicle fetish

18:47 me: Yikes, did someone says Thomas Young? It's getting a bit hot in here...

Quote of the Day

Matt: How is your tarantula? Please tell me it is doing better

me: DUDE. I was really scared so the first thing I did when I got home is look at her- she was in a different spot! I tapped the cage a lot but she didn't move. Later I came back and she was in a different place again. She is clearly alive, maybe recovering from molting so won't respond to my polite taps. It is rather tedious to shed your exoskeleton.

Matt: I know that when I have to do it I tend to lounge around for the next couple of days.

- Conversation between myself and friend Matt

(A few days ago Zelda the tarantula molted. I was mortified when I came home from work and saw TWO tarantulas. While this is very cool that she shed her exoskeleton, this morning she was sprawled out very oddly and I tapped on the glass to see if she was ok. She did not move. I tapped harder. Still nothing. I told some of my coworkers about earlier how I was nervous she was dying/ill.)

Quote of the Day

11:33 "and in this scene we see Bill Paxton's character going through a transition from dichotomy of the two women in his life to a state of infatuation for Helen Hunt"

11:34 "in the background an F5 tornado rages from the ionochromostratosphere into the warm front collision path of a dual-toned shelf cloud"

11:37 Elaine: hahahahaha

  this should be how all meteorology papers are published  -conversation between Elaine and myself about meteorology journal papers

Quote(s) of the Day

           "Jesus God," said Montag. "Every hour so many damn things in the sky! How in hell did those bombers get up there every single second of our lives! Why doesn't someone want to talk about it! We've started and won two atomic wars since 1990! Is it because we're having so much fun at home we've forgotten the world? Is it because we're so rich and the rest of the world's so poor and we just don't care if they are? I've heard rumors; the world is starving, but we're well fed. Is it true, the world works hard and we play? Is that why we're hated so much? I've heard rumors about hate, too, once in a long while, over the years. Do you know why? I don't, that's sure! Maybe the books can get us half out of the cave. They just might stop us from making the same damn insane mistakes! I don't hear those idiot bastards in your parlor talking about it. God, Millie, don't you see? An hour a day, two hours, with these books, and maybe... "
-Montag


           "Oh, look at me, Montag. the man who loved books, no, the boy who was wild for them, insane for them, who climbed the stacks likea  chimpanzee gone made for them.
           I ate them like salad, books were my sandwich for lunch, my tiffin and dinner and midnight munch. I tore out the pages, ate them with salt, doused them with relish, gnawed on the bindings, turned the chapters with my tongue! Books by the dozen, the score and the billion. I carried so many home I was hunchbacked for years. Philsophy, art history, politics, social science, the poem, the essay, the grandiose play, you name 'em, I ate 'em. And then... and then..." The Fire Chief's voice fades.
-Beatty


           "Have I changed my mind about much that it said to me, when I was a younger writer? Only if by change you mean has my love libraries widened and deepened, to which the answer is a yes that ricochets off the stacks and dusts talcum off the librarian's cheek."
-Ray Bradbury

 cfaesi: and they should be profiled at every opportunity

 me: I'm glad we see this the same way

 cfaesi: yeah, this country is way too liberal

  cant believe we dont have a flat tax and that they allow immigration

 me: I know. This country is going to hell. First, gay marriage, now we raise the debt ceiling!?

 cfaesi: yeah that was such a pro gay move

 me: obviously. I think what this country needs is another president like G.W.Bush
