i'm doing art today-well later today---well,i have sworn i that i will---i hope---i'm swearing for art, and often about art since i've actually managed to catch up on the most pressing immediate demands allowing me 'art time' later today. My creations seem to be a combination of cut out print art--surrounded by manga marker style coloring, shape accented by stick figures and predator like alphabet symbols---- it's art it does not require logic or sensibility. I'll photograph and post some of my finished projects one day here---otherwise it is unexplainable. As evidence that i am in no way right minded, i am studying french...the simple act of studying french does not in and of itself prove my alienhood--aligned with the following two factors does complete the weirdness equation: first--i live in new mexico and cannot speak Spanish! So the study of Spanish would have an immediate positive outcome--but no not for me--i am studying french which will have no advantage to my day to day life other than allowing me to curse beautifully! Second--i am studying french by cassette tape, purchased used off of amazon and playing them in my vehicle on my ebay purchased--used (but cool) marantz professional-portable cassette recorder/player. So i am studying a language i cannot immediately use on a system that is no longer in use by anyone---nothing beat the cassette tape's ability to rewind to a specific spot for a do over situation--as is often the case with my inability to repeat these bizarre phrases--i'll keep you posted on my progress.... a truly bizarre item to start with don't think about this too much it's disturbing---An airport bus driver claiming firing discrimination because of being a Shaolin priest, yes that is correct, a shaolin priest. Now it may be possible that he was playing the flute and fighting evil in the west, as he drove the earth seeking nirvana or the home temple is in financial difficulty requiring standard employment---who knows.I do wonder why this individual did not simply put some amazing Tao rap on their boss--and it that failed then open up a can of caine whoop ass on the oppressor.

http://www.oobject.com/category/15-odd-pods/ I have been averaging in excess of 50 mpg for weeks now--it may be that the prius is now broken in and the greater mpg is a result of the vehicle settling into a pattern of behavior--or it could be simpler--that i am now familiar enough with my new commute that i am able to put hypermiling techniques into play---but i knew this would happen--with the price of gas going up hackers have learned how to beat the pump apparently as displayed by this news article from of course florida---http://www.local6.com/news/15964636/detail.html

Lego's is there anything that cannot be done with them??? This was lego bathroom weekend--our toilet seat had a nasty habit of falling forward while i was standing using the toilet causing much preventative leaping about and spraying in all directions combined with fear biting cursing...however a couple of lego technic pieces and toilet seat and lid securer(?) in yellow for visibility (and color coordination i suppose) followed by a technic beam used as a filler in patching a gap between the bathtub and the wall---fit perfectly--lego's amazing! Well i am continuing on with the usual---and unusual in my life trying to enjoy the world and the items within it that interest me...i hope you are as well....
