it's slow as hell. |
fuck it. |

Da Nate il martedì, il 28 settembre, 1999 - 04:42 pm: che cosa significate " gli impianti "? è lento come hell. Da Nate il martedì, il 28 settembre, 1999 - 04:52 pm: si soffoca. fuck esso. Da Waffles il martedì, il 28 settembre, 1999 - 05:12 pm: destra! |
Except "destra" should read "giusto." "Destra" means "right" as in right or left. |
I'll stop now. |
|
I like that "e' lento come hell" part. |

"I ordered RICE? gyawdDAMN it!" had some great food with nate's roommate last weekend. like the 10-ounce steak "smothered in garlic butter." the cheesesteak with grilled onions and peppers. the homemade soup and marionberry pie at the roadside cafe on mt. st. helens. started a new temp job today. I think every man in that office is gay. I only work half-time. I'm telling myself I'll spend my afternoons teaching myself valuable job skills. or maybe I'll just keep doing porn. |
marge? |
i think tonight's show focuses on Savannah. she ends up blowing her head off with a .357 in her garage. |
i'll enjoy her work that much more now. |
That site's not for real, is it? |
I've decided that it's impossible to do bondage self-portraits. I need my hands to take the photos. I hope I didn't accidentally shoot that huge bruise on my ass. it wouldn't look good in black and white. |
I'm going to go watch Open Mike now, and read about Gilgamesh during the commercials. I love Mike Bullard. He's got the cutest little round head, and it bobs up and down when he laughs. You know who else is cute and round? Samo. Samo! A year ago today was an important day for me and it passed by unnoticed. I'm going to the doctor's on Thursday. I'm terrified. My regular doctor is away on maturnity leave, so I'm seeing some strange woman. I could have made an appointment with this other male doctor I saw once before who was nice to me, but I had a bit of a crush on him, so I thought it wouldn't be a good idea to let him examin me. Last time he used his little thingy (you know what I mean, perverts) to listen to my heart, and his wrist brushed against my breast. That's when I knew I had to get away. Although, to be honest, I kind of wish I Had made the appointment with him. I've got a cold. My sister gave it to me. Only one side of my nose is running, though, and when I try to blow, it's the Other side that spews the nasty stuff. I don't get that. I know what an artifact is now. I mean I thought I knew what it was before, and I guess I Did basically, but now I really know what it is. We're learning the basic's of archiology in my anthropology class, and I find it wildly interesting. I just don't know if I'll be able to remember all of the little technical terms. Can someone please explain "thermoluminesence" to me? My TA couldn't explain it to my satisfaction, because he says he's bad with science. I'm bad with science too. Can someone explain it using small words? Okay, I'm going Now. Sorry. Bye. |

more pics cyst |
Hm.. maybe we need a section for those here who are into photography. |

Nicholas was talking about dating things, and the different little ways you can do that. It was all a big blur, except for "ugh...wood...bad." and "thermoluminesence...science...bad." I would like it if someone could explain this to me in simple human-like terms, but if you're just going to "UH" me again, nevermind. I'll go buy a book and a dictionary. |
that glows unde heat. Not just anything but a certain chemical or object that has a reaction to heat. I suspect the rings of a typical electric stove is an example. It glows when electricity/heat is applied. cyst summed it up rather concisely |
it works best with pottery but can also be used with burnt flints and other objects associated with the use of fire by early humans. because what you're doing is heating up an artifact that has been buried for a long time and making an estimate of how long ago the pottery was last heated up. what happens is that electrons become trapped in the crystal structure of things that are buried in the ground for a long time. these buried things get irradiated by naturally occurring uranium, thorium and potassium 40. when these irradiated pots are heated up again, the electrons are released with a quantity of light proportional to the number of electrons trapped. so, the longer it's been buried, the more light will be emitted when it's heated up and the electrons are released. there are major problems with this method -- apparently it's difficult to estimate the rate of electron entrapment, but it's good in that it's range of usefulness lies in between those of carbon 14 (between 500 and 40,000 years old) and potassium-argon (more than half a million years old) dating. wow. my anthropology degree may actually help someone. it's usually just an embarrassment. the social sciences are just all so DUMB. |
examples: LED (light emitting diode) fluorescent light bulb glow sticks lightening bug's butt Stuff like a candle is not an example. Anything will BURN and give off light under the right conditions. Thermoluminescent items glow when radiation, electricity, chemical reaction or MILD friction is introduced. lightening bug-chemical fluorescent light-electrical resulting in radio waves causing light with little heat. LED-electrical resulting in light with little heat. glow sticks-chemical (you know those plastic things you bend then they light up for hours) mild friction-the only example I can think for that would be the glow on your face after sex :o) |

I love them. especially with a couple hits of acid late late at night. |
|
i feel sorry for all ye landlocked folk. actually, the atlantic ain't shit. i feel sorry for anyone far from the pacific. are there other oceans? no. |
|
stop by. |

I don't think I've made the old it's/its error in a long time. my roommate bought new-age inspirational paper towels. they say, "light life beauty" and "always reach for the stars." |
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love anthropology. I mean, I knew it would be interesting, but it's so much more interesting than I thought it would be. My teacher was talking about the law of superposition and then he told us a story about this wall he was doing some dig around, and how they found artifacts in the dirt Underneath the wall that were newer than the wall itself. I was on the edge of my seat. It was all so fascinating. How could anyone be embaressed by an anthro degree?? I'm thinking of changing my major. I wish it were this easy for me to get a few explanations on my science work. good GOD I hate that class. |

i can't count how many times i've heard dunder-fucked chuckleheads console themselves with that meaningless tripe after doing something horrifically stupid out of temporary emotional insanity or giddy delusions of grandeur. fucking pathetic, that. it's better to do the right thing the first time around. and if you can't pull that off, then do it right next time. goddammit. next person who tells me that shit is gonna get tied down to the floor and poked in the eyes by rabid children with sharp sticks until they repent their transgressions and scream "I WILL THINK BEFORE I ACT" over and over again until i believe they mean that shit from the bottom of their miserable little hearts. i bet those bastards would regret spewing that half-assed mental shortcut a hell of a lot more than keeping the trap shut to begin with. word to your squid-bellied mother, bitch. |

it sounds like you're most into archaeology, which I only took one class in. and I didn't study much cultural anthropology, either. I studied physical anthropology. mostly paleoanthropology (the study of human evolution as evidenced by the fossil record) and some primatology. just know now that if you study paleoanthropology, almost everything that they teach you will quickly be proved to be a crock of shit. no one has any fucking idea how humans evolved. there are as many theories as anthropologists, and every time a new fossil is found, they have to rewrite the book. I'm sure this is true of archaeology as well. for instance, has your teacher told you when humans first arrived in north america? it's completely unknown, and that couldn't have been all that long ago. (I mean, not compared to the 4 million-year-old australopithecus finds in africa.) so, anyway, it seems like it would be an interesting field to go out and DO. get your ph.d and go on digs in africa and write your own theories and shit. but learning what everyone else has to say about it is not like studying physics or something. (yes, I know that there are lots of major unresolved problems in the real sciences too. but it's not like these stupid bozo anthropologists writing long explanations about why they think man first walked upright based on a premolar someone once found.) anyway. never mind. have fun. |
We're doing "early civilizations" in this class, with lots of focus on Egypt and Greece and etc. I look forward to understanding human beings a little better. |
|
in my opinon, anyway. i always wanted to be Nero. |
