new time measurement


I've started to measure everything in "Warren Scooter Hours" (the amount of time it would take Warren Buffet to Motor Scooter somewhere). I live 5 Warren Scooter minutes from the library and about 1 Warren Scooter Hour from Tasha's sister.

russian seer


if i were an ancient russian seer, i would spend less time focusing on the czars and more time trying to forecast the most popular drink of all time so that you i would be forever remembered every time someone orders a "rasputini"

what does your son do?


it seems that parents brag about what their children do.... but they never brag about "what nice, decent people" they've turned out to be...

hindenberg anyone?



there is talk of a new floating hotel that would carry 100 people at 100km/hour is a giant floating "luxury blimp".

let's hope this is more successful than the last time long distance travel was going to be revolutionized by a blimp...

unlucky alley


there are two alleys i can take to leave my apartment: one goes by a brothel and the other by a church. walking past the former is disgusting as there is often vomit, smashed beer bottles and 'tools of the trade' blowing around.

today i picked up a crazy chinese coin from the brothel alleyway and suddenly my luck changed: it started pouring down rain, the shop i wanted to go to closed early, the other shop was out of the sale item i wanted and i got a text from a friend who i had just stood up.

walking home, i returned the coin to the street and my luck immediately returned to normal.
