giant squid! (!!artwork alert!!)

npr is the best. i say this despite their visual radio pleas for help. on the way back from work, anthony and i noticed that our radio dial now reads:

PLEDGE


NOW!


1-800-


741-9090!


WUSF radio...


89.7


pretty awesome, eh? soon they'll have a little tv for your radio where you can watch them sign their requests for memberships in american sign language! no lie, it's in the works.

exciting npr story of the day:
GIANT SQUID!



a team of japanese researchers have taken the first photos of a live giant squid. the only other time we've ever seen them is when they are dead and washed up or floating somewhere. their eyes are the size of volleyballs. insane. it often astounds me how much we don't know about the world we live in. and that we're killing it off little by little, day by day, hour by hour.

even though this is a great find for scientific community, we all know what they were really thinking:



i love dried squid! also, cuttlefish (which are rather cute, really). cats love it. mmm.... anthony says that it gives me dead rat breath, alas. (funions also do this, the "food" i hate to love.)

stream of consciousness

1. Crave::sushi & oolong/chrysanthemum tea
   
2. Whole package::ramen
   
3. Roommates::eat my food
   
4. 5:30::am is when i woke up this morning, then fell back asleep
   
5. Lesbian::beautiful
   
6. Poignant::china/hong kong/travel
   
7. Hurtful::overtime
   
8. You and I::I got you, babe
   
9. Grateful::soft socks
   
10. Giggle::kill the teletubbies

fun randomness. nice to just type.

i feel so exhausted and it's only monday - that can't be good, eh? classes are going well. no big tests coming up. going to try and work overtime this week... must get rid of debt. debt is not your friend. debt is the enemy, it is the DEVIL.

.... i feel like saying or typing something entertaining, but am at a loss.

PURE NERD

Pure Nerd 78 % Nerd, 26% Geek, 30% Dork

For The Record: A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia. A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one. A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions. You scored better than half in Nerd, earning you the title of: Pure Nerd. The times, they are a-changing. It used to be that being exceptionally smart led to being unpopular, which would ultimately lead to picking up all of the traits and tendences associated with the "dork." No-longer. Being smart isn't as socially crippling as it once was, and even more so as you get older: eventually being a Pure Nerd will likely be replaced with the following label: Purely Successful. Congratulations! Thanks Again! -- THE NERD? GEEK? OR DORK? TEST

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 84% on nerdiness You scored higher than 32% on geekosity You scored higher than 48% on dork points

2 in the hole

rock on. 2 tests, 2 a's. let's see if 3rd time's the charm. or... erm... still the charm. or something.

also, ant's band is playing at an art opening/rocky horror picture show on october 29th. hahahaha! how awesome is that? helloooOOOoo tim curry! it'll be at the gulf coast museum of art. i'm so thrilled!

and then another show on november 4th w/ the timeout drawer, another really super instrumental group. i believe aesthetized.com describes them as a "seriously wicked instru-metal/post-rock trio (might be a quartet for the tour?) that kinda sound like what might happen if PELICAN & THE MERCURY PROGRAM were to collaborate." hm. pretty close description. check them out, because they are really quite superb.
