there's a gay bar across the street from the building where i'm at today. it's got an EXIT ONLY sign out front.
i had this girlfriend once that liked the way my shaving cream smelled. so much, that she used it all the time. i should have seen this as a sign of things to come.
(turns out she likes girls)
today, you will be victorious. beat up a five yr old

Good drunken debate from a few nights ago. The question: How many 5 year-olds could you take on at once? The specifics:
- You are in an enclosed area, roughly the size of a basketball court. There are no foreign objects.
- You are not allowed to touch a wall.
- When you are knocked unconscious, you lose. When they are all knocked unconscious, they lose. Once a kid is knocked unconscious, that kid is "out."
- I (or someone else intent on seeing to it you fail) get to choose the kids from a pool that is twice the size of your magic number. The pool will be 50/50 in terms of gender and will have no discernable abnormalities in terms of demographics, other than they are all healthy Americans.
- The kids receive one day of training from hand-to-hand combat experts who will train them specifically to team up to take down one adult. You will receive one hour of "counter-tactics" training.
- There is no protective padding for any combatant other than the standard-issue cup.
* The kids are motivated enough to not get scared, regardless of the bloodshed. Even the very last one will give it his/her best to take you down. I set my magic number at 30, but upon reflection, I think I could take on a few more. How many could you take on?
if someone stole your pc/laptop/server right now, would you lose any files? what if your hard-drive died? are your digital pictures, homework, personal finance files, media, etc. is that stuff backed up? have you tested that the backups work?
just checkin.
we have new downstairs neighbors. they're rockin'. all the time. movies. tv. music. all hours. rob's been over. he's heard it and felt it.
anyhoo, i just went down there to ask him to keep it down after 11pm. i thought 11pm was fair. shit, even turn down the bass. i could feel his TV outside the apartment door. i asked. he rolled his eyes. the volume is down though.
came back up to our apartment and our TV is up pretty loud too, but you can't hear it outside. it doesn't vibrate the shit outta the floor.
if it keeps up, i'll talk to the manager. then the police.
the last year or so has been a testament to this NPR story for amanda and myself. Assigning Blame for America's Insurance Woes. give it a listen.
