the best things in life aren't things
Magic Fireballs are AWESOME!

This video teaches you how to make your own magic fireballs with a piece of cloth, some string, and lighter fluid! Check them out, they’re freaking awesome and don’t look like you can actually burn something with them. I’m heading to the hardware store to pick up the supplies I need and I’ll update you if they’re as fun as they look.
NEWSFLASH: I burnt the fcuking house down.
Mug Displays The Way You Like Your Brew
The Drink Selector Mug ($24) is a receptacle for hot liquids that has three metal bands around it. The top band is turned to indicate if you prefer coffee or tea. The second band indicates your milk preference (breast, etc.), and the third your sugar. Now I don’t know about you, but my top selection will always be tea.

First rant of 2008

I hope everyone had a great seasonal break and a very well executed leap from the past to the future. May 2008 bring you joy, happiness and a lot of things you dream of. As usual with such occasions, other people say things better than I do so:
Cherish your yesterdays, dream your tomorrows but live your todays.
Thank you, Phillip Vandervoort. 
And so we get to the order of business. I would like to thank 3/4th of my address book for sending me chain mails and 2/3rd of my IM list for sending mass messages, ‘which they usually don’t do but hey you never know’, so in the past year:
- I’ve won at least 5 big lottery tickets, who’ve apparently gotten my e-mail address because some friend enroled me. Party invitations will follow as soon as the cash comes in!
- About 150 times, my IM account would have been deleted unless I would forward a message to all people in my contact list, for which Bill Gates (who is still giving away his fortune) then would donate 1 cent per email I’d receive back, and I have received many!!
- I have accumulated 1000 years of bad karma and have died about 50 times for all the e-mails my spam catcher actually caught and thus they never reached me, unfortunately. So I could not take the appropriate actions.
I think it was a good year, and I expect 2008 to be at least as good. And by the way:
IF YOU DO NOT COPY-PASTE THIS POST WITH YOUR LEFT HAND IN AN E-MAIL IN THE NEXT 10 SECONDS AND SEND IT TO AT LEAST 500 PEOPLE, A GIANT DINOSAUR FROM SPACE IS GOING TO EAT YOUR FAMILY TOMORROW AT 5.30 PM SHARP, NO MATTER WHAT TIMEZONE YOU ARE IN.
My take on Christ-mas
Aaaah another year, another joyful Christ-mas.
One thing surprised me this year, more than it did the years before – have you noticed the way some people are trying to steal Christmas?! Yeah.. It’s disgusting! It all starts with the way the megacorporations are enforcing the “Happy Holidays!” instead of the common, yet appropriate, “Merry Christmas!” onto us. If you don’t believe me, just go to YouTube.com and try and send out a funny video card.
Having all that in my mind, I’m actually quite sympathetic to the fundamental argument of those righteous and god-faring people to keep “Christ in Christmas.” The holiday should be joyful, having loads of fun with family and close friends, but the orgy of consumerism that accompanies it has long since passed the point “no return” for an event allegedly celebrating the birth of our lord and savior. Yes – it’s Jesus’ birthday, so get off your heathen ass and fckuing celebrate! (Ms. Garrison – South Park).
Funny thing about this association- before christianity came along the “pagans” used to celebrate this time of year pretty most the way we Romanians do it – slaughtering animals for the gods, drinking and having fun. Things haven’t changed that much since Jesus came along anyway, so it kinda makes me wonder why we even celebrate Christmas? It’s not like he was born on December 25th. Actually history points out another birthday of a pagan demigod by the name of Mithras, also born out of a virgin. Jesus, Mithras, Osiris, Batman or Rambo – does it matter? It’s clear that we all need to have a savior, and at one point we need to celebrate his(her) birthday – might as well be this time of year.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas, Hanukkah, Festivus, Kwanzaa or whatever else you are keen on drinking about!
See you next year!
Christmas wish
Dear Santa (aka God)
Do cookies make up for my sins? I guess not..
For this year I want you to give me your naughty girls list (yeah, I know about it). Since you are too busy with the obedient and abstinent ones, I thought I’d give you a helping hand – hopefully that would make up for my sins..
Yours truly
