How To Confuse An Idiot

How To Confuse An Idiot: This is stupid and I probably shouldn’t even link to it, but I think I like it for the same reason I like puns.

I like this view of the waterfalls. Lights!

Well, this is just terrifying

Well, this is just terrifying: The latest from Seymour Hersh: “Late last year, Congress agreed to a request from President Bush to fund a major escalation of covert operations against Iran, according to current and former military, intelligence, and congressional sources. These operations, for which the President sought up to four hundred million dollars, were described in a Presidential Finding signed by Bush, and are designed to destabilize the country’s religious leadership.”

Jimmy Eat World - Sweetness… Because it’s Tuesday morning. I’m tired. You’re tired. Everyone probably needs a little audio caffeine and a moment to reminisce about their college years (which was the last time I heard this).

Spot on, took me back. Though I guess technically it came out after I graduated. Now I want to find Lucky Denver Mint.

The dump truck from that awful accident earlier this morning has been towed and parked in front of our office. Compared to the bus it struck, the damage it received is relatively minor.

I have an irrational fear of this sort of thing happening all the time.

Once again — it’s been happening a lot lately — I really wish I was a dog.

One carnitas and one chicken taco from La Taqueria in San Francisco. With everything, and crispy. Perfect.

That ‘new shower curtain smell’ gives off toxic chemicals, study says

Thu, 12 Jun 2008 16:53:15 -0400

That ‘new shower curtain smell’ gives off toxic chemicals, study says:

designinfo:

“The study found that these shower curtains contained high concentrations of phthalates, which have been linked to reproductive effects, and varying concentrations of organotins, which are compounds based on tin and hydrocarbons. One of the curtains tested released measurable quantities of as many as 108 volatile organic compounds into the air, some of which persisted for nearly a month. Seven of these chemicals, which include toluene, ethylbenzene, phenol, methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), xylene, acetophenone and cumene, have been identified by the Environmental Protection Agency as hazardous air pollutants, said Stephen Lester, the CHEJ’sscience director and a co-author of the report.” via LA Times

This makes me almost as mad as the dolphin suicides the other day. Agh.

Sudden recurring iPhone problem: After unlocking, I am greeted with a blank, black screen. Nothing seems to fix this save restarting the phone.

Coming June 26…ahh! I find Olafur Eliasson (and this new piece, closely related to this older piece) more exciting than the iPhone. That’s just how I roll today.

I see the scaffolding for one of the waterfalls from the Manhattan bridge on those (rare) days when I bike to work. So excited.

Good god, this really is almost as bad as being locked in an elevator for 41 hours. Reading it, I mean.
The only thing that surprises me about this not-even-Livejournal-worthy Tale Of Hipsterdom is that it wasn’t sourced from Facebook friendship.
Totally. Also, I can’t believe that his whole thing about admittedly being in the bathroom for an abnormally long period of time but being unable to admit that he was either a) taking a shit or b) doing drugs or c) both went completely unchallenged. Also? He “fell asleep” in the backyard after calling his friend to come help him and then convinced his friend to come back? This guy sounds like a class-A douche.

For some reason, I find this to be the saddest detail in a very sad piece:

Next he did a Google search for “what to do if you get locked in a bar.” “But Google did not have any good answers,” he said.
