winning hearts and bribing minds

so everyone has their own way to gauge how their day will turn out. well, atleast i think its common for people to do that. either way is, i do that, and if others dont, there is something seriously wrong with them-- not me.

so my gauge is the little display on the hot water machine at the dining hall-- i look at it whenever i make my tea. its usually near 200 degrees, if not exactly on it.the range is 198 to 202 degrees. if its not 200, its usually a bad sign. the greater the variation, the more likely it is i will run back to my room and baracade myself in there until i send someone else downstairs to read the gauge again.

this mornings reading: 175 degrees--- translation: "piano falling on your head" threat at code: Super HOT PINK

i made my tea and got the hell to cover and stayed there for the better part of the day.
i got some courage and went down to check the gauge again

this evenings reading: 85 degrees--- translation: "spontaneous combustion" threat at code: EXPLODE!

its not safe out there anymore. so be sure to check out my revised security system for Mental Stability.

the general state of ohio

first off, happy turkey day. the fact that its almost winter makes me confused and beligerent. but that will prolly be another rant all together.

why the ohio newspaper sucks: this was their headline on the front page- "Shoppers hit stores during Thanksgiving Weekend."

..... aren't shoppers the only people who would hit the stores during anytime. i mean, the only other group would be robbers, but thats obvious.... and also a separate article all together. don't worry, the lack of adequate reporting is made up for by an abundance of snow.

in national news....
This man is my hero. Apparently this guy in Reno stole $200,000 worth in legos. being both a slight thief and a major lego fan, even I do not see the purpose of the stealing so many legos! does it start off as a guy stealing a few small boxes of legos at a time, then just looses track until his house is filled with them? OR is it more like ocean's 11, where this guy who really loves legos assembles a crack team to pull of the heist, and everyone gets a cut. like a casino job gone horribly wrong.

either way, the world is desparately needing better heists. implement 'the great xbox360 caper of christmas 2k5' or the less popular 'the poorly thought out nintendo64 heist of thanksgiving 2k5'

cheers.

thanksgiving with the extend family equals asad needs to brush up on todays politics

i have no political humor.

thusly, changing this post's title to :

--Japanese superiority clashes with Japanese tendacies to loose robots in outerspace--

New game, Sudoku, or something japanese that roughly translates into "how to keep an idiot busy, flip over" is sweeping everyone. in dc you got people with whole books on em and everyone on campus doing em. i'll admit, its a fun game, but its just one of those things that the japanese think they can control us with.

they failed their first attempt: those robotic dogs.

but moving on to those robots lost in outer space,
JAXA- the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency announced the robot it sent to a nearby astroid circling the sun has been lost. Scientists say it was a miscalculation in the tragetory. I say they cant fess up to the fact that it was a bad idea combining the Robotic Dog and the Sudoku game in an attempt to say to the world- Hey Look, our dog can fly into outerspace AND solve these silly puzzles quicker than anyone!

panda warfare: least threatening war possible

have you ever spent an hour watching a panda sleeping? with no shame, i admit i have, thanks to the Panda Cam. i wish he'd do something else besides sleep. someone toss in a chimp in there and lets see what happens.
