what makes me sick
i've been pretty sick for the past week, so i've had a lot of spare time just sitting on the couch at home. during that time i've watched a couple of movies, and i have to say 2 of them really impressed me.
first i watched Two for the Money and it was just strait up not good at all.
then later i watched Red Eye, now this movie was just so terribly stupid at points it was comical. one part i have to explain its so damm good, so don't read if you don't want to find a spoiler here. at one point the dude gets stabbed in the throat with a pen. he pushes the doctor away from him and starts running after the girl. he grabs a scarf from a flight attendant and wraps it around his neck, i assume to stop the bleeding because he pulled the pen out. it looks more like a nectie loosely wrapped around his neck. for the rest of the mov
ie he goes around like this, hardly phased by the hole in his neck. there so much more great stuff in this movie its worth checking out. its less than 80 minutes long, so you won't waste too much time.
enjoy!

what did canada do to me?
I was recently (got back last nite) was in torornto for work. i usually like flying, but the last flight i was on (minneapolis --> fargo) fucked with my head, you know the pressure shit you usually deal with. i didn't think much of it, but after we landed it didn't really seem to go away. i felt kinda crappy all nite after that but went on with things figuring it will go away soon enough.
6am this morn i wake up and feel like my head has been filled up with cement. some benedryl and a hot shower made me a little more comfortable and then i stayed in bed until 11. its much better now, but there is still a little bit of cement that now feels like it has dried and is full concrete now.
This may be a little bit too personal for some people, so be warned, only the brave should read on from here: i also have not eaten yet today, which isn't a big deal, but earlier today i found myself on this website to see if i had anything to worry about: http://tinyurl.com/y94dgt

Ontario innkeeper laws
this is what was on the door of my inn room. the punctuation is copied exactly, not my mistakes:
No innkeeper is liable to make good to any guest of his any loss of or injury to goods brought to his inn, not being a horse or other live animal, or any gear appertaining thereto. or a carrage, to a greater amount than the sum of $40 except:
and then it lists some stuff about stolen property.
i left my horse at the inn all day and had not problems!

weird dream
I had another weird dream, this one was bizzare.
first a little background: at work i take care of a couple magazine websites that sell adspace on them. a whole column of ads on the right side of the website. so in the dream there was a team of about 5 people that were sent to my company, kinda like the bob's in office space, they were change experts. they all took turns talking to us about weird stuff, like what we though the definition of change what, or what a detour was. the head lady always played tool music while she was talking, and kinda talked along with the music, it was all very strange, and i didn't know what the real purpose of this whole thing was.
well it turns out that they were just there to help up go thru the change of removing those ads from the website. a pretty simple task, but we had 5 specialists there to help us thru it. well at the end of the day, there is a young girl that was there, she asks me if she could just some rest at my place for a couple hours before they had to leave town. it seemed pretty innocent so i said sure. well we got to my house, (which it turns out to be the house that mork built, you know up on estevan) and i found out that her intentions were not so much just to rest, and she was good looking so it wasn't so bad. suddenly a guy showed up with a gun and he was pissed off about something, i don't know what. the guy was very familiar, might be someone from a tv show or something, but i just can't place him exactly. thats how the dream ended, we were going to run down to the basement to get away from him.

another weird dream
i was able to remember another dream last nite, and it was a pretty good one, but pretty short.
this dream took place at century high school, which is the high school i graduated from. in the dream was some sort of upper classman, probably a senior. i remember several students were getting together near the old locker pit, there were about 6 of them in all, they each had an ipod like music player. they were all connecting these players to each other and then had somehow plugged them into the wall and had control of the PA system in the school. they did this to play music for the whole school. the song sounded kinda like NIN, specifically Gave Up from Fixed. During the song, when it starts to go crazy, all of the people slammed their music players down on the ground and started pounding on them, as if this was the cause of the sudden change in the song.
when this happens it is really freaking out a lot of the younger students. i just remember thinking that they were doing a good job, as if i was the mastermind behind the whole thing (but i don't know that i was, or at least it wasn't part of the dream). so i walked down the hallway thru many panicing students to my locker. i open my locker, pour myself a red beer and drop some olives in. my locker was not used to store books, but it served sole purpose of giving me a cooler for my own beer tap and various accessories (mugs, olives, etc...). i walked around the school watching people freaking out because of the music. i could only describe it as what a school might look like if there were gunmen running around shooting people. but it was only the music that was causing such a panic, and i walked around the school sipping on my red beer enjoying it all.

way to go DD
I'm browsing thru my flickr account, trying to decide if i'm going to upgrade my account for the extra bandwidth or not (i probably will), and i got around to viewing the most interesting pictures, the most commented, the most viewed, etc... The picture below happens to be the most viewed picture of all my pictures. I don't know why this one gets so many views, but way to go DD!

nightmares
its really been quite a while since i've had any good dreams that i have remembered, but the past couple of nights i had some interesting ones. not nightmares, that just makes a more interesting title...
a couple days ago i watched this, ali g interview david and victoria beckham. I don't remember if it was the very same nite, or a couple later that i had this dream. in the dream i was talking to david beckham, not like an interview but like we were good friends. i asked him about this interview and about ali g. i was curious if they ever talked to the guy when he was out of character and becks told me that they did indeed meet with him out of character, and that he was only in character when the camera was recording. he told me about how the guy prepared to get into character and it was all very interesting, but i don't remember any of the details.
then i think this one was just last nite. this dream i think took place in the near future. i don't know if there were no cars anymore, or they were just hard to find, but for some reason i did not have a car, and no one that i knew owned a car anymore. running was the main form of transportation. i just remember going with my dad and my uncle bill to valley city. then we had to get to grand forks quickly, so we took off running. it was mild winter, the ground was not completely covered with snow, but most was. for some odd reason we had to be very careful of snakes as we were running to grand forks from valley city. that's it.....
i'm going to give a conscious effort to try to remember more dreams from now, cause some of them are very interesting.

weird world records
this is it, i'm going to get into the guiness book of world records, it seems like you can just make some shit up and get in. why would anyone ever think of "Most live rattlesnakes held in mouth" as a world record? well this guy did and he's in the book.
so i just have to think of what i can do to get into the book or world records. any ideas?

DANZIG
I recently downloaded a torrent that was labeled the greatest rock albums of all time. a lot of it was stuff that I've never heard of, most of it is really heavy stuff, not usually the kind of stuff played on the radio. there were some that were a little bit more "easy listening" like metallica, megadeth, anthrax, iron maiden, danzig and a few others.so i'm listening to a lot of them, right now its Danzig Lucifuge. I had this cd years ago and even had the great chance to see Danzig in concert many years ago. This one definetly deserves to be in the greatest rock albums of all time. I so often forget about Danzig, but damm that guy makes some good music. I don't know much about the Misfits, but I think they ought to be worth checking out if Danzig was involved.
the danzig concert i saw back in 1995 still has to be in a handful of best concerts i've been to. at the time marilyn manson and korn opened for danzig, i had to idea who either of them were, but i was impressed with all 3 of them.
I bet you don't know much about Danzig, and maybe even think the guys not very talented, but I bet you didn't know this: He wrote songs for Johnny Cash. This is one album that any music fan should have in their collection, unless you like country music, then your fucked.

what is wrong with small, medium and large?
I demand to know WTF is wrong with small, medium and large. if you got 3 things that come in 3 different sizes, and you order a medium, do you expect to get the smallest of the 3? do you expect to get the largest of the 3? fuck no, you want the medium one. there is no reason to have medium, large and extra large, fuck that.
and even worse is when you give your sizes other names, and the "tall" is the smallest one. they might as well name them: lake erie, lake ontario, lake huron, lake michigan and lake superior, but then cause you don't actually have 5 sizes, randomly pull out two of them, so your sizes are actually: erie, ontario, huron. makes just as much sense, and people would learn something about geography. i bet most people wouldn't even know where the names came from!
subway does this shit the right way, 6 inches or 12 inches, you don't even have to think about small or large. pretty freakin easy if you ask me.
thats enough for today!

i got missle launchers
i had missle launchers installed on the front of my car. I can control the aim if i want, but usually the are fixed strait ahead. when i have my cruise control on, my brake becomes a trigger. i've gotten used to coming to work early, before there is much for traffic on the interstate. it really help get people out of my way that pull onto the interstate doin 40 mph, just a little tap of the brakes, and they are out of my (and everyone else's) way! it really makes driving to work in the morning a little bit more enjoyable!
i just realized that my new car has no name. remember the old mitsubishi was tina fey, this one has no name yet. any suggestions?

a little bit about headphones
well amazon aparently doesn't have one set of headphones that i have, but they do have the nice ones. i was used to a pair of sony headphones that i used all the time. they were a couple notches above other brands in the same price range (~$30). then i got the earbuds pictured below, used them for a long time and really got to like them. now tonite i put the old earphones back on to only now realize how big of a difference they make. wow, if i ever wear those out i might dish out some $$$ to get a nicer pair of sony earbuds if the difference will be this noticable. but yeah, these are awesome earphones, i wouldn't think of anything else for this price:
tomorrow i'll get back to writing something stupid and meaningless, maybe about how i think i set a world record for number of shits taken in a single day. it was a lot, seriously... usually i could say something like "wow i shit 3 times at work today", but this day was different. find all about it tomorrow i guess.....

guns n roses - chinese democracy
could it be real, chinese democracy is a real album? supposedly sebastian bach thinks "its fucking epic".
i think about 5 years ago i had already given up on this album. but then guns n roses came to fargo and i won tickets, heard some new sounds, and hope was restored. after that it was quickly lost again and forgotten about. i suppose in another couple years someone will say something about chinese democracy and we will all wonder again.
