Pictures
Some Celebration III photos are up, and can be found on the link to the left. I'll be putting more up soon, but now I want to sleep. It's kind of hard coming up with good captions. I was struggling with a lot of them, and I apologize if some aren't funny. I'll write about what went on in that crazy convention later on as well. Cheerio for now

Oh Yeah, I Forgot...
...the Go-Betweens' new album came out this week in England I think it was and probably Australia too and other parts of the globe except for America, where it comes out I believe on 05 May presumably because Americans have poor taste ;p
Anyone who likes pop music must get this album, whether they've heard of the Go-Betweens or not. I will personally reimburse anyone who buys the album because of me and doesn't like it however many dollhairs they paid for it. This is not a shameless plug for ol' Robert and Grant. I just want my pals (that's you!) to hear some really, really, really good music.
I had time to write the Star Wars Convention (henceforth Celebration III or C3) today but I was just too fuckin' lazy, man. In the weekend, in the weekend. Finally, my blog will have pictures and something to talk about! I'm sooo excited! :D

A Little Disclaimer
In case some incidental readers are not familiar with figures of speech, that part above about reimbursing you IS A JOKE. I won't actually pay you, not even in dollhairs, so don't try it. Nevertheless you should still go get the album. I'll pay you back if you don't like it.
Hallelujah!
Finally I learned how to put links up! Now if only I had friends who I can link to my blog :(

A Quick One
I was doing some boring water quality homework and I typed this up, which I thought was funny:
"5-11) The health risk of ingesting too much nitrate in drinking water is infant methemoglobinemia. Methemoglobinemia causes cyanosis, which gives the baby a blue color. This stems from nitrite that is absorbed by the blood after developing from nitrate in the child’s intestine. It is, however, readily diagnosed and quickly treated.
"5-13) The five trihalomethane compounds that have been found in water are chloroform (CHCl3), bromodichloromethane (CHCl2Br), dibromochloromethane (CHClBr2), bromoform (CHBr3, and dichloroiodomethane (CHCl2I). These are produced in surface waters as a by-product of chlorination, when the chlorine interacts with organic substances present in the raw water."
Just so we're clear, I didn't find the sick baby funny, just the big words (hopefully you don't think me that sinister). As you can imagine, my spell checker had the time of its life.
Also, I was in Indianapolis all last weekend for the Celebration III Star Wars convention. I had a blast, and I will write a long post about that, with pictures and all, hopefully this weekend if I have time. I guess you already knew I was a geek. If you didn't, don't laugh. Star Wars geeks are some of the nicest people you can ever hope to meet.

The Personals
I was looking at the personal ads for my area earlier. I'm not looking for a girl. And although I think I kind of need one and in truth I do kind of want one as well, there's no time for love, Doctor Jones, at least not right now. Nevertheless, I was looking at the personals.
I find personals fascinating. I get a sad feeling when I see how many lonely people there are out there, but I also get a happy feeling when I realize that these people are Romantics, and no matter how much they know that the world is a shithole, they still believe that someday their princes or princesses will come.
Another aspect of these ads I find interesting is how attractive a lot of these people are. There are so many beautiful people in the personals They all seem smart and personable too, and that really makes me wonder why they are alone. Are they anti-social? Are they just terribly shy? Or are they, in reality, assholes?
A lot of them are middle-aged divorcees, single parents, etc looking to get back on 'the scene' while the younger ones, particularly the girls, are either tired of jerks or people interested only in sex (give it up ladies, a good guy is a figment of the imagination). I doubt many of them--indeed many of us--will ever find 'the one', but I still hope we all find what we're looking for. And ladies if you're interested, you can always leave me a comment on this blog. Seriously.

More Ruminations of a Dolt
I find it a funny sight: a wealthy DC kid with his bottled water wearing a Che Guevara shirt and anti-capitalist slogans stuck to his backpack. Doesn't he know that without his abhorred capitalism his daddy probably couldn't afford to buy him his fashionably rebellious t-shirt? Try drinking tap water you hypocrite.
