More blogging uselessly

Feeling the need to continue blogging uselessly, I present, via ARC, some deep thoughts:







More to come, depending on how useless I feel....

Life's Little Disappointments

Well, it may not be over yet, but I'm calling tonight's NHL Western Quarterfinal for San Jose's Sharks, since my Flame can't seem to hold it together and going into the 3rd period they've given up 5 goals to scoring 2. What a disappointment. Pathetic. Go play golf.

As for the Democratic Primary, it looks like Clinton took PA, but then again, that was expected. I'm disappointed Obama couldn't pull out a win, but then again Hillary's gotta be disappointed that she's only up by a few delegates--not enough for her to win the nomination.

Disappointment breeds the blues, so here are some for you on a late Tuesday night:



Cheers,

Oh PETA, you're so Funny

From the New York Times:

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants to pay a million dollars for fake meat — even if it has caused a “near civil war” within the organization.


I guess not all meat is unethical, it just depends on if its been vat-grown from a cloned sample of bovine muscle tissue (ethical), or if it was milk-fed prior to having a nail shot through its skull (unethical).

Seriously though, despite being a blood-thirsty carnivore, I would welcome vat-grown steaks, and would even give up 'live' meat for the cloned sort, so long as it's safe and healthy-ish.

Besides, cloned food would solve this particular issue:

AHHHH!

So it's bitterly cold here in Calgary, and it's been snowing for two, maybe three days. Sometimes I feel like the weather in this city matches my mood-swings, with all of its ups and downs. On the other hand, cyclical matching or not, the rapid weather cycles aggravate my migraine, so even the ups suck some times :P

Good news though, the Flames won 2-0 versus the Sharks tonight, so we're going to game seven. Mind you, if we win that, it means a series against Detroit that we're very likely to lose.

Nothing seems to be making me happy tonight.

Well, except this:

Sure Cavan may not think much of the LOLcat phenomena, but II still get a kick out of the occasional LOLnimal. Besides, who listens to their little brother's anyway?

God, I hate winter in April.

Coming out in the Wash

From this post by Boston to Salem @ DailyKos, how to make your own laundry detergent:

All you need is one bar of soap, 1 cup of washing soda and 1/2 cup of Borax and a 5 gallon bucket.

1. chop up the soap and melt in a quart of water on the stove.

2. Pour soap/water into bucket and add 4.5 gallons of very hot tap water.

3. Stir in Borax until dissolved.

4. Stir in washing soda until dissolved.

This will gel overnight. Use 1 cup per load. We wash 6 loads a week, so one batch of this will last us 2-3 months. The cost is less than 2 cents a load, and you will be able to make dozens of batches from just one box of the Borax and washing soda. Plus you are helping the environment by not purchasing and disoposing of large plastic detergent containers, etc...

Enjoy!


I'm going to try this the next time I get a chance to buy borax and washing soda--my next attemt to go a little more green :)

Cheers,

Sean
