C.U.D.G.E.L., aka, Urban Golf Chicago, was a huge success.
I didn't actually play - my job was to sit in the bar at the end, get drunk, and collect scorecards and bribes. Much fun was had. Much liquor was consumed. The day before, I put in a few hours work spray-painting t-shirts, which was a blast, despite the fact that I am still covered in...

Sometimes I do semi-politically active things. Like write letters to people at Ethos Water. It's curiously satisfying, even though they never wrote me back (I wrote them almost a month ago).
Hi,
I purchased a bottle of your ethos water today. I admit, the "save the world" message is an effective advertising campaign. But I have a hard time believing that it's more than...

I dunno if you're in on this but...I lost the game.
So my friend Sean says that the best way to make a decision (presuming there are two options) is to flip a coin, and let that decide. And then see how you feel once the decision is made, and reassess (reasess? reasses? more ass!). So maybe I did something like that. In any case, it definitely sucked, and luckily I got to take it back....

i hate emoticons or whatever the hell these are called.
but that's what happens when the GUT starts taking over...
anyway, check out http://www.aloftaerialdance.com/aloftloft.html (i don't know how to do that neat-o embed the link in text thingy)
it's a warehouse, they offer silk dancing lessons. looks fun as hell.

awesome, thank you. i will be on the lookout for it.
No no no, I am awesome. I kid, I kid! Damn, what's a girl to do if she can't find time to update? Christ people.

Watching porn with the director's commentary on proves to be quite amusing. Particularly when the star co-directed. They don't have much to say about the actual movie, so they just make chit-chat, for the most part:
"So, do you prefer regular anal, or double penetration?"

When you have 6 protons in an atom you always get a predictable set of properties. It's not random...there has to be a reason. Cause and effect dictates that given an effect (an objects properties), there must be a cause.
There may not be a "true nature". Every object does have a nature of some sort, part of which may be beyond our ability to discern.

Hah! No...I don't believe in Intelligent Design. I do believe everything has a reason. I'm not talking about divine purpose or destiny but a cause. There is a reason we see colors. There is a reason light reflects off a mirror. There is cause and effect for everything. In essence I believe in a universal field theory, but I don't think we have the perspective to see all the parts needed to understand it.
Quantum physics allows electrons to travel back and forth in time, and superstring theorizes 11 independent dimensions. It is possible certain effects are due to causes in dimensions other than our own. There may be results we witness from 'causes' that are entirely outside our frame of reference.
I see your point though. My intended question was "How" more than "Why". That really was poor phrasing on my part. In any case, I have never heard about anyone doing experiments to determine how atoms have their properties. This question seems fundamental to understanding the nature of our universe. Knowing how atoms get their properties might allow us to engineer molecules with specific behaviors.
The scientist, by the very nature of his commitment, creates more and more questions, never fewer. Indeed the measure of our intellectual maturity, one philosopher suggests, is our capacity to feel less and less satisfied with our answers to better problems. ~G.W. Allport, Becoming, 1955

Ooof. Tequila man, I love it, but it's evil stuff. I'm endlessly fascinated by tequila's unique brand of drunkenness. 10 minutes into the party, everyone is shitfaced, rowdy, and ornery as hell. It's a playfully spiteful kind of drunk, I dunno. Lots of fun.

so, hows the letter coming? ive started a new one for reasons i explain in writing. also, i had an interesting pdx discussion today, oddly enough. i realized that i dont know much about the city, but i really have a positive view of it.

Yeah, you loves the hipster breakfast joints.
It's my man's birthday today. And while sappy emotional entries are just not my style, I will say that he's fucking awesome. We have our share of arguments and disagreements, but we're pretty effin' happy together. I was realizing yesterday how much we've both sort of influenced and inflected each other in various ways, and all the big and little ways that my life has...

I think the U.S. should build a big bridge across the country so Mexicans can go to Canada.
Ok. Not really.
Well. Maybe.
Hahaha Kidding!!

I'm working on learning to say "please". Apparently, that's what people with manners do, or something. This revelation came to me the other night me when me and some friends of mine are sitting around, and I'm like,
"Hey Ben, hand me my lighter".
"What do we say?"
"Um, hand me my lighter?"
(time passes. i still lack my lighter)
"Dude! Seriously! The lighter!"
"You...

Thanks for the comment on my set!
remusisdying:
yeah, its tough to appreciated social lessons and think of words like 'please' when all you really want to do is light a fucking scented candle and relax with a bag of doritos. at least, thats what i assume you needed to lighter for.
I wish I had played golf. Jen kept texting me about it while i was at work. I was annoyed I was at work instead, but it was cute.
