Yesterday, I went to a Scientology exhibit on the evils of psychiatry. I learned that Hitler was evil because of psychiatrists, that racism was developed by psychiatrists, and the only thing that separates me from animals is that I can drive. Oh wait! I don't have my license. I guess I'm a critter, too.
I also got followed most of the way home by a would-be rapper who demanded I tell him the trickiest word I know. So I said, "Pentakosiomedimnoi."
He blinked a few times, said it incorrectly a few times, and asked what it meant.
"It means the social class which is rich enough to have 500 barrels of olive oil."
He then rapped me most of the way home, but didn't once mention the word.
My apartment building is falling apart. Kate came by, and the apartment building dial-up thingermabob with all the buzz codes didn't work. One of the washing machines died in mid-wash. My bathroom ceiling is falling in, and frequently rains. Our carpet looks filthy, now matter how often I vacuum it. One of the walls is heavily water damaged, presumably for the same reason that the ceiling is falling in. And maybe this isn't a sign of a falling-apart building, but the stairwell houses a lighter and a bong made from a plastic bottle. Whee.
I can't get over how incredibly talented/skilled the performers are for the upcoming show. I am just so amazed and impressed. I'm also hoping that no one else gets sick. A dreadful flu is going around, and both![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
snowy_kathryn and f00dave fell to it today. I cannot get sick. I'm far too busy. I haven't even been able to get to the gym this week, except to use the studio space yesterday to practice my veil dance. I'm doing two acts, teaching a class tonight, 2 classes tomorrow, and another on Saturday. I will not get sick.
This is me going and popping more vitamin C and zinc. See that?
Link time.
Suspicious Occurrence: Watch out. A dreadful crime has taken place. A man walked up to a woman, then walked away without saying or doing anything. The horror!
Atheists bond during 'de-baptism': "Belief in God symbolically evaporated when more than a hundred atheists were 'de-baptized' with a blow dryer yesterday."
Robert Pattinson: 'I Was Asked to Bite a Baby': I don't know how anyone can honestly be a fan of this movie. And even if they are a fan, wtf, mate?
Ocean motion caught on camera: Whale sharks poo! Here's video proof!
Injured deer stumbles into Ohio vet clinic: No mention on whether or not the deer had insurance.
New Choreographers Contribute to 2009 Belly Dance Superstars Show: I'm glad to see this. Although I think Jillina is a good choreographer, it will be good to get some fresh blood in there. Jillina's choreographies all bear a certain similarity, to me. And Yasmina Ramzy is a phenomenal choreographer.
Ant jaws break speed record, propel insects into air, biologists find: My question is why would an ant choose to fly by flapping its jaws? Just because it can? I suppose I would, just for that reason, if I could.
Most Beautiful Tornado Video Ever: It really is special. A tornado spinning out at sunset, ending like Adam reaching out for the finger of God.
Cape-wearing man arrested after reportedly robbing adult store: I'm not sure what his superhero name is (thanks, Ted).
Monster Mondays - Dumbo Octopus: Cutest, funniest-looking octopus, ever.
Funny times captured on camera: A collection of amusing photos.
Badass of the Week: Hiroo Onoda: I quite like the write-up for the Japanese soldier who refused to back down.
