Don't just stand there, let's get to it Strike a pose, there's nothing to it
I found Muxtape.com while stumbling last week, (i think) and took a few moments to throw together a great mix of music I'm listening to right now. There's no real theme going on here, just some songs that I'm favoring at the moment.
-
Broadcast - "I Found the F"
-
OP8 - "If I Think of Love"
- Parenthetical Girls - "Love Connection, Pt. II"
- Cocorosie - "South 2nd"
- Julie Doiron - "Swan Pond"
- The National - "Secret Meeting"
- Massive Attack - "Group Four"
- Ladytron - "Ghosts"
- Dave Gahan - "Saw Something"
- Beach House - "Heart of Chambers"
- Moose - "Je Reve (i dream)"
- Mr. Gnome - "Night of the Crickets"
You only get one playlist at a time on Muxtape, so when I decide to ditch this I'll go with a themed mix.
Koo-koo-ka-choo, Mrs. Robinson,Jesus loves you more than you will know.

| Someone outbid you; sorry you didn't win this time. | ||
Hi skinnybitch,
We're sorry you didn't win this time around. While this one got away, there's other stuff to find. Don't give up."
... sometimes i purposely bid on items i know i won't win just so i can feel like i've saved money when i'm outbid.
I lost my heart to a meathook
right now, i'm sporting extensions in copper, platinum, lilac (a light shade of purple) and burgundy. it's quite a color concoction, but it works. it's definitely the best and favorite hair color i've had, and if i could afford to just switch them out right now, i would. but i'm saving for another trip to the big ol' apple.
so, monday they come off and by tuesday my hair will be resemble something on the left. i usually design the placement of all my color. not to say i don't trust my stylist, she's one of my best friends. I just usually have an idea in mind, and i like to try something different all the time.
i'm going easy on the color this time; the most i have here is three - an ash brown, pink and platinum combo.
i'm not sure though, which style i will go with. this will definitely end up being an all day project.
in other thoughts, i think i've come to the realization that the more a person needs to propagate the belief or idea that they are something, ie a parent who needs to proclaim their authoritative position to their children, or those saps who go to bed every night reciting, "i am smart, i am beautiful, i am funny and damnit, people like me" - the less confident they really are about said characteristic. it seems that the constant repetition of the "i am this" or "i am that" phrase is used in hopes of convincing their audience as well as their self that they are the smart, cool, strong, sexy, insert whatever adjective you'd like - person they'd like to be, but just are not.
frankly. here's where the whole, actions speak louder than words cliche comes to mind. i'd like to see more people stop talking about what they are, and just start being what they've been calling themselves for so long.
didn't anybody, didn't anybody tell you, didn't anybody tell you how to gracefully disappear in a room?
Kubrick's second release of the Sex Pistols figure set went on sale today. Medicom was supposed to be carrying them, but so far I haven't found them on their site.
The first issue is still available for $40 at ToyTokyo. But... it's the first set, and if you ask me, Johnny Rotten's eyes look a little too far apart, like either he was birthed by an alcoholic, or the same camel gave us Britney Spears. Riiight?? .. whatever.
anyway, now i'm stuck with answering the question of do I like "the My Way Sid" or "the fuckyoui'msidvicious!punkrockoi" Sid?? I don't know. I guess I could always get him separately if I wanted to.
Ain’t nothing gonna break-a my stride
i'm close to finishing my time at PCC and of course, I'd of course leave my science/math classes till the last semesters. They come in close to least favorite falling just behind subjects like economics and poli-science. blegh!
however, when a professor allows room for creativity and personality in a class like geology, i will gladly take advantage of it.
published below for the first time, (lol) is my not-so-dry, at home science inquiry, which after much consideration for about a month, was in all honesty, the only thing i could think of that was at all of interest to me. the idea behind the inquiry was to use the scientific method to solve a problem or answer a question - something that may be irking you, something that you need answers to. it's pretty generic and incredibly broad. and believe me, the topics brought fourth by my classmates were everything you'd expect a generic and broad experiment to produce: the effects of rust on metal, altering a morning route for a faster commute, carbonated drinks vs iron nail...etc, et-boring-c.
i didn't choose my inquiry based on those factors, however, because although i had a feeling there would be the cookie cutter at home experiments done, i didn't know exactly what everyone was doing. rather, the issue of my project had been brought up from time to time amongst many different people i've met, and i wanted to see if a little rumor held true when tested.
OBSERVATION
When I was younger, I attended an all girls high school and around the age of about 17 or 18, when some of my friends started dating more and more guys a rumor had started in regards to the size of these guys’ hands versus the size of their proverbial packages. Since then, I’ve encountered other women who still judge a man by the size of their hands, and MEN even, who will boast an extra large glove size and swear the rumor to be true. I decided, in the interest of any other curious women, to conduct a test.
HYPOTHESIS
While I believe there may be random gentlemen whose hand size will correspond to the size of their stuff, I think the data will ultimately find that there is no correlation between the two.
METHOD
I asked 10 men that I knew if they would be comfortable with helping me in this experiment. 7 of them said yes. I wanted the test to be completely anonymous so there would be no reason to exaggerate results.
- First I created two email accounts. Each of the 7 subjects were given a username and password to Account A. I left an email at the top of Account A with the directions.
- Each subject was asked to measure their hand in inches, from the bend of their wrist to the tip of their middle finger and record the number in the email.
- Each subject was then asked to measure their stuff in inches from the base, where it meets the body, to the tip.
(While I admit, I don’t particularly know if this is the most accurate way to measure a man’s stuff, this is the way I asked them to do it.)
- They were then asked to record that number as well in the email, and send their final results to Account B, of which I was the only person with access.
DATA GATHERING
Because the test was conducted anonymously, I can only trust that the measurements are accurate and true.
Subject A: Hands: 7.25” Stuff: 5.5”
Subject B: Hands: 9” Stuff: 6.25”
Subject C: Hands: 8” Stuff: 7”
Subject D: Hands: 8” Stuff: 6.5”
Subject E: Hands: 6.5” Stuff: 5”
Subject F: Hands: 7.5” Stuff: 6.5”
Subject G: Hands: 8.5” Stuff: 7”
Conclusion
Judging by the data listed in the results there may be a slight correlation between the size of a man’s hands and his stuff. However, it is random. Subject B's hands measured a full 2.75 inches longer than said stuff, while Subject F only varied by 1 inch. It may be safe to assume that they will ballpark in the average range of a 1.5 – 2 inch difference if one feels the need to judge.
