Ну что, хорошее осмысленное хокку. Приму со смирением.

если бы пришлось
пиздануть его нахуй!
про любовь.

i've been hiding out up here for the past 2 days now. Well actually, i drove up Friday evening.
it was really dark, must be the season.

I'm very behind in proper LJ posts. I better get to my moblog before I forget things that happen and when they happened and who they happened with. Maybe when I get back to Palo Alto tomorrow.
Today must get a bit of shooting done though.

I keep waking up early. I wish it would stop.
I wish Santa Cruz boardwalk was open during the week during the off-season but it's not - only weekends.
And i'm sure that Great America is the same too.

Oh well.

Тупо перепощу, ибо больше нет ни какого желания, пытаться образумить СМИ.....
Пилот инструктор africo проводит всеобщий опрос, на тему: "КТО САМЫЙ ГЛАВНЫЙ" ?

Как уже многие знают, в Москве стоял сильный туман. СМИ продолжают радовать:

"В аэропорту «Пулково» минувшей ночью образовались пробки из самолетов и пассажиров. В Петербург направили несколько лайнеров, которые должны были приземлиться в Москве. Над столицей уже второй день густой туман. Поэтому самолеты из Киева, Рима и Пекина сели в Пулково.
Как рассказали «Последним Известиям» пассажиры, на пограничном контроле были большие очереди. Сейчас обстановка в аэропортах Москвы по-прежнему сложная. Решение о взлете или посадке в столице принимают непосредственно командиры экипажей. Самолеты из Москвы в Петербург тоже задерживаются."

Вот оригинал с видео если чо.

А теперь внимание, вопрос:

Кто принимают решение о взлёте и посадке, когда погода хорошая, если известно, что командиры принимают решение самостоятельно только при тумане ?
:-)

So, as I'm reading my dead-tree edition of the New York Times (you're welcome, free-riders!) what do I run across? An old and dear friend up to new-ish tricks:

Bravo, say people like Vinnie Bartilucci, a computer programmer from Lehigh Valley, Pa. Among his methods for countering loud cellphone talkers is to place a small recording device he carries for work on the table next to the offender.

Mr. Bartilucci did just that last summer at a McDonald’s in lower Manhattan, soliciting the logical question: What are you doing? (Which was punctuated by an expletive.)

“I said, ‘Well, since you obviously want me to hear your conversation, I’d better keep a copy of it,’ “ Mr. Bartilucci recalled.

THE ploy worked: the man got up and walked away — but the victory felt Pyrrhic.

“We’ve learned so much about personal freedom that we sort of work under the assumption that everything we do is perfectly acceptable, and God help the person who tries to limit us in any way,” Mr. Bartilucci said.

Ah, Vinnie. The man who once tried to convert a Jehovah's Witness to the Church of the SubGenius, who shattered the Chaminade High School dress code by staying within its technical limits while subverting its spirit in toto (the subsequent revision was known as the Bartilucci Clause), and who (with my connivance, and a bravura performance by a now-respectable Marianist brother, whose confidentiality I will respect) hoaxed my high school graduation party so notably that it still comes up 25 years later at Wirenius family gatherings. (Not to mention my mother who still dissolves at the memory of certain impressions done at the dinner table when Vinnie would visit ....)

Some people have the knack, as Thomas Wolfe noted in Look Homeward Angel, of raising the temperature in any room they are in--of bringing life, and spontaneity and fun with them. If the occasional windmill gets speared in the process, so much the better.

Jury to decide mom's mental health in murder trial

Otty Sanchez got two weeks in a state mental hospital after she was found wandering around a drug store last year, shopping for an imaginary trip to China.

She got a few hours in an emergency room, then a ride home, in July as a new mom hearing dark voices.

Three-week-old Scott Wesley Buchholz-Sanchez was dead six days later, decapitated and missing fingers and toes, while police say his mother wailed about how the devil made her do it. A judge ruled Thursday that a jury will decide whether Sanchez is mentally competent to stand trial after Sanchez's attorney said her mental condition is worsening.

And from another article...

As per the Associated Press report, Otty Sanchez was found sitting on the couch with a self-inflicted stab wound to her chest and her throat partially slit (also self inflicted), screaming over and over that she killed her baby. She told police that the voices spoke to her and that the devil told her do it.

Yet despite all that...

Bexar County prosecutor Yvonne Gonzalez has said her office would seek the death penalty on the legal presumption that Sanchez was sane. Although prosecutors were still gathering medical records, she said there were signs Sanchez had been "functioning quite well," including holding down a job for several years.

"We're not really sure she had a long history of mental illness," Gonzalez said earlier in the week.

I know that in our legal system "insane" has a very specific and very limited definition, but really?

A woman that had been previously institutionalized, and was later taken to the emergency room for hearing voices, who then killed and partially ate her 3 week old son, and also stabbed herself in the chest and partially slit her own throat was "sane" and "functioning quite well"?

Really!?!?!?

I'm not too into beer or wine but I really love coffee drinks (e.g. Bailey's, Kahlua, White Russians - haven't tried what else is out there though). Is there a place in Seattle that specializes in mixed drinks/cocktails with coffee (if such a place exists)?

From what I can tell, coffee drinks are generally on the menu of most places but I wonder if there is a place that specializes in them.

I live in Fremont but don't mind going to Capitol Hill or similar. It doesn't have to be a bar, for example a karaoke place or a restaurant is fine. Thanks for any feedback!
