i just saw the most amusing commercial, perhaps ever…it’s a black guy and a hispanic looking guy rapping in an aisle of a store. they’re advertising Big Ds Hair Supply store on West Main in Rochester. It’s one of those budget homemade type commercials. they’re rapping about Big Ds being the place to be, and naming the different products the store sells, as products scroll across the bottom of the screen – wigs, human hair, etc etc etc. then it ends with hispanic guy rapping “Big Ds is the place to be.” and the black guy goes “word” ROFLMAO omg so hilarious.
so yesterday danielle and i went up to eric’s to hang out there for a while before the arrival of the tonawanda gang to go to the lacross game at blue cross arena. hit a few stores because they needed to buy some stuff, back to mary’s. then everyone arrived – joe, janet, john, john’s girlfriend, white boy, and this other kid who i’ve met 3 times but don’t know his name. plus me danielle, eric, mary, dan, karl and kellee. got pizza and chilled there. went to the game. it was fun. had no clue what was going on, and buffalo lost, but i guess they always lose to rochester. so then back to mary’s to party. it was a good time. it was fun being in a big group of (mostly) people i know. and i hadn’t hung out with joe for a while so it was cool.
then we had to drive home. we left at like quarter to 1. it was like 60 mph winds, and light snow. almost got blown off the road a few times. almost turned around and went back to eric’s to sleep there because i was afraid i wouldnt make it back to geneseo. but the wind got better and i was able to make it back. i guess joe and them (who left before us back to buffalo) had to pull over at one point. but dont know what happened after that. john and his girlfriend left when we did, followed us to the thruway, hope they made it ok. so now it snowed a bunch, and it’s still super windy. so it really sucks. i parked in the faculty lot cuz i wasn’t about to park a mile away in our parkinglot and walk home in the weather. but it’s still so shitty i’m not about to do that today either. so my car is going to stay in the faculty lot til the weather calms down, or until tomorrow morning. or i can leave it there and get a ticket…which normally i’d ditch on, but given my current probationary status i don’t think that’d be too good of an idea. dunno.
was going to go to wegmans to buy hair bleach and dye, but i really don’t want to go outside.
oh and our house is falling apart. there was a new ceiling leak last night according to bill. then danielle and i heard this loud metal banging type noise. i thought she broke something, she thought i did something in here. we don’t know what it was, because we can’t find anything broken. but now the walls in the kitchen have suddenly sorta…bowed? i don’t know what word to use. there is this weird kind of crack – it’s not really a crack, but i don’t know how else to explain it – about an inch and a half from the corner of 2 different walls. the corner of the wall now extrudes from the rest of the wall by a few millimeters. it wasn’t like that yesterday. so we don’t know what to do about that, if we should tell someone. they’re not going to fix it, but at least let them know our house is breaking. blah.
how is it that i can be reading for class and get real tired, put the book down and close my eyes for a few minutes and fall asleep for a good 20 minutes. and with music on (marilyn manson this time lol). but i can’t fall asleep at night, even if i read school work before bed. as soon as i turn out the lights, no matter how tired i’ve made myself by reading, it still takes me an hour or more to fall asleep. arg.
i always forget how much i enjoy the antichrist superstar album.
my dad got a new job. at the power plant. so no Vienna (like he’d get it anyway)…and now he only has to drive 20 min to work instead of an hour and 20. so that’s good.
and the sabres game… vs detroit. SOOOOOOO GREAT!!!!!!!! we were up 3-0 at the end of the first, on HASEK!!!!!! and now its 4-1 near the end of the 2nd. happyhappy
sabres ended up winning 5-1. almost 3 shutouts in a row for martin biron. and hasek got pulled before the 3rd period ROFL. he didn’t even sit on the bench after that. chicken. it was a great game tho. proves that buffalo can be a good team if we want to. frustrating to think we could have played this way the entire season, instead of the last 20 games while trying desperately to make it into the playoffs. we’re gonna work so hard to try to get into the playoffs that if we do, we’ll be too tired to get past 1st round just like 2 years ago. didnt make the playoffs til the last day of the regular season, then lost horribly in the 1st round vs philadelphia. but of course, we made up for that in 1st round vs philly last year 🙂
need to finish polisci readings. it’s about nuclear war, which is at least interesting. especially given the US overhaul of our nuclear policy. bush campaigned for reducing nuclear arsenals, but now wants to put more research into development of new nuclear weapons that can deeply penetrate the earth. sure things have changed since the election and now…but it’s a very scary thought, because i don’t think bush is completely rational. and even tho the claims are to use nuclear weapons to destroy enemy bio and chem weapon stockpiles etc, nuclear weapons are hugely damaging to the world. and while i’m not exactly a scientist, it doesn’t seem to me to be a really bright idea to nuke a chemical or biological weapon storage facility thus exposing the atmosphere to not only nuclear fallout and damage, but bio and chem as well from inside the weapons. the heat and radiation from the nuclear weapon might kill the biological whatevers that are in the bio weapons, but i would think the chemical ones wouldn’t be affected that much…but like i said, what do i know. i know that the nuclear side effects of nuclear weapons are pretty damn bad and that they shouldn’t be used.
there is this group called the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, and for years they’ve kept the “doomsday clock”. it debuted to the world at 7 minutes to midnight. the premise is that when the clock reaches midnight, there will be nuclear war. they move the hands of the clock various directions every now and then in response to world events, and stuff like that. the closest was 2 minutes to midnight, in the 1949. it was 3 minutes a few times over the years, and it had been at 9 but they just moved it in feburary to 7 again. kinda scary. http://www.bullatomsci.org/
