elton john said recently that the voting for american idol is racist. that seems a little odd since last years winner was a big fat black man. plus, arent there like millions of votes? how is it that millions of people would get together under the radar and vote of all the black singers. come on elton, it just doesnt make sense.
it seems to me like politics is just a bunch of bullshit with each side lying about themselves and their opponents in order to trick the gullible people of our country (most of them are) into voting for them. i was looking at this website the other day that dissected each sides 'attack' commercials. every single thing said was at minimum a misrepresentation if not a total and complete lie.

eric has left a comment (now deleted), which has reminded me of the story i forgot. here it is.
at approximately 4 in the am, st louis announced to eric and kinlin that he couldnt sleep, and was going to go hang out "outside somewhere", to do what, no one knows. sadly he was too drunk to operate the doorknob/locking mechanism successfully, and immediately went back to sleep, which, incidentally it seems he could in fact do.
that was paraphrased from erics comment. thank you sir. and to st louis, better luck next time.

lots of goodies this weekend. but before that, an after work beer on thursday was partly responsible for this quote from ray:
"the deal is, uh, atleast i think the deal is, she gets the ring, and i get the big screen tv"
on saturday we decided to get chinese, after making the call and completing our order, this is the conversation kinlin had with the delivery guy.
chinese guy: when the final?
kinlin: what final?
chinese guy: the the final. you know you take the finals?
kinlin: oh, uh, those are done.
chinese guy: oh really? you moving out?
kinlin: uh, yeah.
chinese guy: wow, oh when you comin back?
kinlin: umm, i dunno
chinese guy: oh cause you graduate?
kinlin: uh, yeah
chinese guy: oh wow, congratulations. what you want for free?
thankfully i thought to have kinlin write down that conversation as we were in such a state as we wouldnt have been able to remember it.
that same night (i think), st louis and i were returning from the liquor store and had almost made it back. we were meters from my door when a lunatic on a bike wildly approached us on the sidewalk. nearly having to dive out of the way i avoided the bikeman. st louis wasnt as lucky. the crazy biker hit my friend on the shoulder and continued on into the street and across an intersection. stunned at first, we then continued our walk back. midway across the intersection the bikeman began to yell. it sounded like "you big f ...." but was immediately muffled as he crashed to the ground. it looked like as he turned to yell at us, his handlebars went perpendicular to his back and he did a faceplant in the middle of the street. of course this triggered immediate laughter and jeering on our part. he hopped on his bike as fast as possible and sped off. way to make yourself look like a fool.
at danielles (which i skipped) another story of note took place and i meant to write it down. but i dont remember anything about it now. sorry.
as the date of our departure from 175 Hemenway St. approaches, we still do not have a place to move into. with a little over a month left, i am a bit anxious. we found this sick house that would be absolutely amazing if we got it. however, currently it hinges on whether joseph dooling wishes to move in with us for a second (for me, third) time. he should. anyone reading this should tell him that.
since easter weekend, i have been absolutely entranced by the 'Cirque du Soleil'. has anyone seen this? its like the circus on acid. they do the most ridiculous things you wouldnt think were possible. anyway, its pretty good. i think it plays on Bravo. watch it.

a song lyric of alan jackson goes something like "i watch cnn, but im not sure i can tell the difference between iraq and iran".
let me help you. they are two different countries. plus you are an idiot. plus if you watch cnn as you claim, you should be well aware of this. they do have similar names ... and are both located in the hellish shithole that currently is most of the middle east. their names are real real close. that must be where he is getting mixed up.
hearing this song in the lab sparked a world geography quiz. martin the english guy made fools of all the americans with his seemingly unending knowledge of history, geography, and literature. at one point he asked me who the leader of Slovenia was, which made me pause. i think i can only name 4-5 world leaders. so here they are:
USA - Bush
UK - Blair
France - Chirac
Cuba - Castro
Iraq - Nobody
did anyone read about the 3 eyed, 2 mouthed calf born in texas? crazy.

ah yes, back to work. many friends do not have school/work today because of patriots day. they are bastards.
this weekend was good. normally dull and repetive weekend activities were suspended to make room for new and exciting ones. on a note of frustration, the lane health center blew me off a second time. after bumping up my appointment, i was informed upon arrival that they wouldnt be able to help me afterall, and my original appointment would be honored. ill believe it when i see it.
i have decided to donate sperm for extra money. let me know how much you want, and ill be able to get it to you in a few days. price is negotiable.
neil, ben, and i cleaned out the wollaston meat department for meatfest 2004. we went over to rays place and cooked up the 200 dollars of beef products and proceeded to eat it until our stomachs were on the verge of exploding. stranded in watertown i was now late for kati lary's field hockey games i said i would see.
after walking 15 minutes to harvard square i took a cab to the field where thankfully the match was still ongoing. field hockey was much as i remembered it, what with the multitudes of hot girls in skirts and countless stoppages of play for unknown reasons. as an added benefit, i guess our (read: Wentworth's) field doesnt have changing rooms, so the girls just changed on the field. it was pretty good.
