everyone is promoting new forms of energy as a cause of fixing global warming, but i’m just thinking… how much is that really going to cut down on things if we use a new form of fuel? even if every car became a hybrid, it’d make a difference, but a very minimal difference… what NEEDS to be promoted is less use of things. more planting of trees… producing less, not producing equal but with less consequences. that’s just my opinion, though… perhaps it is too difficult in reality. i truly do not know. i do know though, if the problem is as large as we claim it is, then such little steps won’t really do much in the long run.
so if you thought yesterday’s “so you think you can dance” story was bad, guess what? it gets worse.
i shipped out the 2 tickets (out of 6) that sold yesterday via ups overnight mail.
because i have GREAT luck, guess what? MECHANICAL PLANE FAILURE.
THE TICKETS WON’T GET THERE TODAY… meaning instead of earning $60 / $365, i now earn $0.
ups will refund the shipping price of $24.99 but i doubt they will refund the shipping price (some guy is “checking on it” however).
i have the worst luck, seriously. this was like when i went to canada last week and i kept trying to get winnie the pooh toys out of the vending machine and every time i would say, “ANYTHING BUT PIGLET!” i would get a piglet-related item. or i’d be like, “we don’t need to check the ferry times; what’s the worse that could happen?!” and the worse that could happen is we missed the ferry and instead of coming all the way back to seattle from victoria, we actually had to ferry from seattle to vancouver and drive back down to seattle.
NUBCAKENESS. THE STORY OF MY LIFE.
oh yeah and last night i was watching a documentary and it was called “dragons made real” and they made it sound like dragons were real, with scientists finding dragons in ice caves and stuff. i had my glasses off so i couldn’t see that well to begin with, but the shit was blowing my mind. i kept saying, “what the fuck? dragons are real?” and lenny would say, “yeah, you nub, didn’t you know?”
this morning he told me he was joking and they are actually fake. that motherfucker. that entire show was a “what if dragons were real.” why the hell would you make that! CONFUSING ME LIKE THAT.

but as far as REAL stuff i saw on discovery channel that is cool, here is some stuff that i saw the last month which blew my mind and were REAL, unlike dragons :[
* CORAL REEFS ATTACK EACH OTHER.
i kiddeth you not. they get all gelatinous and poke weird whiskers at each other and the animals in coral-a will attack coral-b and vice versa. they attack each other because when they are growing they’ll like, bump into each other and end up going into other coral’s territories… fucking shit is crazy. i can’t find a pic but here’s a link from a site i kind of hate that contains more information!
* UNDERWATER LAKES.
lakes of super high salinity water below the oceans. life scurries to live along its borders, much like we scurry to live along the water line. prepare to have your mind be fucking blown!!! watch the video, yo.
lately they have been closing down 4 out of 5 lanes of traffic on I-5 to work on some construction. we all hypothesized that the result would be a complete hell of a traffic nightmare. it’s been two days of work days, though, and it is actually THE OPPOSITE. all the warnings by the news or whoever telling people to use other modes of transportation, like carpooling, biking, the bus, the ferry, etc… seem to actually be WORKING. and that’s amazing. i can’t imagine it working in many places, and i’m really surprised and pleased to know that people in seattle are able to chalk it up and work together to make it okay?! it’s really kind of weird, though. it makes me want to start taking the bus to work, though, which could be a bit of a bitch… i was going to wait until i moved to greenwood to start the bus/bike hike, but this change of events has been somewhat inspirational and i feel like i should start now. i’ll have to look at the route, though, because if it’s really absurd coming from bellevue to belltown… it would just be a waste of time. we shalt see!!!
the SAD part is that people don’t do these things all the time. i mean, i don’t. it makes me feel selfish to be driving when so many other people obviously (?) are not anymore. maybe we should do this all the time. make mother nature happy. one can hope!
11:33 pm — eww so i guess my stomach pains were caused by a cyst i have near my ovary. they say it’s probably a fluid filled normal cyst… they said ultrasound, but the doctor said it’d hurt since i’m a virgin, so he is recommending that i go to a gynocologist first. shit, just as scary.
so i have this thing where i just buy books by random authors sometimes if they’re on sale… just to see how other people write and get a feel of how different writers write. i bought this book called “number nine dream” by david mitchell… and it started out really awesome… but then after starting it, you can’t tell the difference between what is real and what isn’t… it’s almost too surreal. with a movie, it’s decent, because you can kind of keep track of what’s real and what’s not because you have a better visual of what’s going on… but with a book, it’s just downright confusing.
speaking of confusing, me and alex watched “secret window” cause it was on hbo or whatever (my favorite channels)… and shit, that has a weird ass ending.
i think i lost my husky card or something T__T i really hope not!… it’s so inconvenient not having your husky card and having to go to work (especially since i get tickets now when i drive to work for a short period of time). T__T fuck dude, so much to do, so little time… no wonder i’m obsessed with efficiency and stuff. and recycling. for some reason i’m obsessed with recycling. it’s really odd.
(lenny’s response:)
“and recycling. for some reason i’m obsessed with recycling. it’s really odd.”
The Captain Planet episodes have done their job nicely.
