News, Finally

Alright; It's two AM, I just downed some unidentified carbonated beverage in a can, I'm incredibly bored AND hyper, so this only means one thing: THE NEWS! (For the first time in like, ever since I've done this...)

Well, thanks to dial-up, I haven't been able to watch the video, but this looks like the most amazing idea in cleaning ever. He's apparently now developing a whole system to be able to play a real-life version of Pac-Man, which I demand be in my house... I may try to do the same, only with ghetto remote control cars.

A guy was arrested for driving a cooler, legally considered a motor vehicle. Oh, but he was drunk at the time so it's officially a DUI, even though he was on the sidewalk and doing like, 10 mph. I almost converted my tuba case into a little motorized cart, back when it was about 2/3 my size...

Well, despite the overall cheesiness of the article, It's a good segue from coolers to beer. A Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee is basically supplying the daily meal of a real man (redneck or not) for free to each of their guests in honor of some country music festival. They have some skewed perception of 'redneck' though, because pretty much every bachelor lives off of those same items, and I know most rednecks wouldn't drink beer with an actual label on it.

Speaking of travel, in case you haven't heard, because of the ass-rapingly (great adjective/adverb) high gas prices, Airplane companies will begin charging you for every little thing, including their required bag checks, and probably even charge extra for the air in the cabins. Up to three times the original ticket prices. My only hope now is they perfect the atomic transporter soon, so we won't have to use any more gas. (and yes, all our power will come from magic. What else?)

I'm glaaad to be an American. Not proud; just glad.

This has been a fairly publicized incident, but in case you didn't hear, a couple of guys easily broke into a art museum using a phone. They called security, told them that the security company was having issues with the system, and told them to ignore any alarms that night. All they had to do then was sneak past the ONE guard inside the museum as he went for a smoke, and steal $2 million in gold sculptures and necklaces. The few working cameras couldn't catch anything because all the lights were off in order to save electricity costs. This reminds me of how easy it is for two kids to sneak into a Plutonium manufacturing plant in the Manhattan Project, a cool movie about... well, pretty much about that. Aah, the 80's, so insecure, yet awesomely horrible. (As soon as I finished typing that, "Sweet Dreams Are Made of This" came on!:])

Going back to the food topic for a moment, A small drink manufacturer has plans to begin shipping out 'Drank', an anti-energy drink. This basically puts you to sleep, and goes well with vodka, like they needed to be combined into some liquid sleep-ray. I hope that this means, at some point in the near future, we can control all aspects of our life through the oral cavity. Everything from waking up, to learning math and science, to growing, to dying, all can be substituted by a medicine-y tasting soft drink with a CRAAZY label and/or mascot and/or ad campaign. Especially Comatose Cola. Death Drink? Age beverage? Learning Liquid...

And finally, an event that I'm sure had just put everyone in a state of turmoil and distress, and you just cannot function anymore knowing that this has happened.

Oh; and I guess I should give you a link to my father's blog on the construction, even if none of you have seen the original house, you can at least obnoxiously spam the comments. It's really worth a look, though, so you see what I'm living through right now. And if you can see the window on the existing house right where the construction is? THAT's where I've been sleeping for the past few weeks, and THAT's where the Mexicans come to work at 6:30.
