Exactly like this, but different

This guy this guy this guy. Wow.



"Outsider Art" is what I've been thinking about all this time.

Outsider art was spawned from Art Brut, and the concept of Art Brut was conceived by my favourite, Jean Dubuffet. It was inspired by a presentation of a collection of stream of consciousness works by mental patients. Holy crap awesome.
Lookit what Jeff got me for my early birthday present!! HAHAHAHAHAHA

I really don't think it's cool

I'm just about ready to give up on this stoopid weight loss initiative. I've only lost 3 flipping pounds since Jan 3, and I'm flipping hungry. I just bought larger clothes yesterday, so who gives a crap. Like anyone in Thailand will know whether I lost 3 pounds or 7 pounds. Except me, and I'm almost finished giving a crap. Almost - just remembered I have to be on tv in March. Gotta go and get some sushi before I faint.

Aichiiihuahua!!

Missed this by 35 days. *Shuddder*

Work is such an emotional rollercoaster lately. Extreme panic then extreme relief then extreme boredom then moderate isolation and lonlieness...

Waaa.

"I'm concerned that you're not happy with your job...

Boss: So I wanted to talk to you about what you want to do becasue we don't want you to be unhappy, but we don't know what you do, and the things we do know that you do we've decided to completely eliminate so there may not be anything for you to do so we have to figure something out.

Me: I don't hate my job at all, I'm just concerned about what's happening with the initiatives I work on.

Boss: Yeah. Well, we're trying to figure that out. I didn't want you to go away on your vacation thinking 'argh, I hate my job. But I'm glad we got a chance to talk.

Yeah, me too. I feel so much better now. I'd much rather go on vacation worrying about losing my job than go on vacation worrying about whether or not I love every waking minute of my job. What a relief.

Let's hope this is just another paranoid knee-jerk post.

Arrest all dogs with long, medium or short legs

*snort*!! This is just about the best stoopid thing I've ever read.

A conservative Iranian cleric has denounced the "moral depravity" of owning a dog, and called for the arrest of all dogs and their owners.
Dogs are considered unclean in Islamic law and the spread of dog ownership in Westernised secular circles in Iran is frowned upon by the religious establishment.
"I demand the judiciary arrest all dogs with long, medium or short legs - together with their long-legged owners," Hojatolislam Hassani is quoted as saying in the reformist Etemad newspaper.
"Otherwise I'll do it myself," said the outspoken cleric, who leads Friday prayers in the north-western city of Urumiyeh.
"In our country there is freedom of speech, but not freedom for corruption," he said.

Weebles wobble but they don't fall down

Can I have some travel insurance or not? The insurance company says to ask foreign affairs and foreign affairs says to ask the insurance company? Hahahahaha. Haha.

From Foreign Affaires Canada:

Canadian tourists should not travel to the west coast of Thailand or to islands off that coast, including Phuket. Canadians in the region who are concerned for their well-being should leave as soon as safe transportation is available. Phuket airport is operating. See our Current Issues page for information on the earthquake and tidal waves (tsunamis) in Southeast Asia.

Jebuz. Won't be sending that to some family members who are already hysterical from watching the news. They think the footage of Banda Aceh was shot on Railay beach. They're devastated that we're going because we're going to get typhoid and cholera and dengue and if we don't die from it, we'll bring it back with us and give it to them. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
