doesn't anybody have any integrity anymore?

it's time for bed, but i have to say first that i am really unhappy with my doctor's office. as i've observed the doctors in this area for the last 8 or 10 years, it has seemed that lately 'service' has gone down the drain.

my doctor's office has finally gotten to where they do the e-mail thing, but apparently it's the nurses who look at the e-mails and they're not just real whippy. i asked them to check on a small pill because the one i'm taking is huge. i researched it myself after not getting much help the last time i was in the office. there is a smaller pill, so i e-mailed them and gave them the details, asking them to fax in a new prescription.

they answered back that they can't tell the pharmacy which pill to prescribe. what? i know that the doctor can say not to use a generic pill. isn't this the same thing? pissed me off. now the pharmaceutical industry is god. fucking lawyers are driving this i'm sure.

and the next time i'm in the doctor office, if he's as indifferent and unhelpful as he's been the last two times, i may have to look around. which will be difficult since we are at least 30 miles from doctors on one side and have a foreign country on the other. time to move.

sci-fi is right around the corner

OOoooooooo, spooky .....

google is into futuristic glasses right now and this little 7-minute short shows us what kind of sci-fi pranks and evilness could come of that type of thing. not, it wasn't put together by google.

you sweet thang....

this is so cute!!!!  these little twin girls are movin' and groovin' to their daddy's guitar ....

prime playground for bad guys

hey criminals, have i got a hot tip for you. you can do anything you want (rape, murder, robbery, drugs, etc) and the most jail-time you can get is 21 years! in luxury! because they think they can rehabilitate  you. hahahahaha.... isn't that the funniest thing you ever heard?!

'where' you ask? norway, of course. just a-hop-and-a-skip away and the country is yours to bedevil anyway you like. i encourage you to leave this country and get over there as fast as you can. it'll all be gravy!

bombs away!

throwing water balloons -- every boy's fun game. this guy takes pictures of the results, and some of them are funny, some are great, and one of them is just soooooooo mysterious.

he gathered bald men and took their pictures as the balloon was hitting their heads. you need to check this out. where, exactly, was the balloon hitting 'the burning man'? the water forms perpendicular to itself on top and below, as well as front and back. too weird! and i like the 'jesus' pic.

and one of the untitled ones (third one down) i would have called 'frozen north' because it looks like furry ice that would keep you warm.

i liked pretty much all of them, but would probably have given them different names. except for jesus -- that one definitely suits.

when would you realize the danger?

this short video about pompeii is curiously intriguing. the disaster seemed to take much longer than i would have thought, especially since experiencing mt st helens (even from far away). and it makes me wonder ... at what point, time-wise, would a person have realized they needed to bail out and run away to escape what was happening. the husband would have figured it out -- he's pretty good about stuff like that. anyhow, if you have a quick 8 minutes, scroll down and watch the vid.

mamma ... mamma ...

awwwww.... these widdo biddy babies are soooooo cyuut!!

it's a dragon. now it's a puppy. now it's a castle. now ....

here are some fascinating pictures of clouds. i've seen some of them. some of the pictures were taken from above the clouds. isn't nature curious?!

talented guy

and then there are these photos. i mean pictures. i mean paintings.

wood you make me one?

you are not going to believe these clothes. they look sooooo real. very fun! and be sure to watch the video!!

all that fun again

whoa -- little red wagon. supersized!

grumble .... grumble ....

something is messed up with my computer. besides the fact that i never liked 'vista' and i absolutely ABHOR the huge change that ms made with windows 7 and up, my computer is doing weird things. like, i turned it on the morning and played mahjong (which is on my computer) while the rest of it was loading up. a little screen popped up which said i had dangerously high internet usage. ha! i wasn't even on! i told my computer guy about that message 5 or 6 months ago and he said he thought it was just a problem with comcast. well, when you have a monopoly holding all the cards, i suppose there's not a lot you can do about it. still ... that's not the only problem and i'm a little frustrated about it.

especially since the computers we have at work are for shit. i don't know what the problem is (except that there's not enough money to get the good stuff (including techs!! those guys in hq are total idiots, but our local guys are great) but i spend an inordinate amount of time waiting. that plus the word 2010 that i have at home makes me grouchy.

little kids and make-believe

do you like rhett and link? well, you should. and here is one of their vids, courtesy of the husband. you have to switch to another vid and it's well worth it. then be sure to watch 'the making of' and 'the challenges of'. if you like that kind of thing.

enjoy!

oh good grief

after years and years and years of them saying 'yo-yo dieters are going to die', it seems they now say 'meh'.

i'd say 'make up your minds', but ... yawn ...

whoa ... things and stuff ...

so ... i'm looking online to see images of types of braids i don't believe i've seen before (waterfall, fishtail, etc) and i come across this page. it's probably more for girls than guys, but it's got some really funny stuff on it. i particularly like the picture part-way down where the caption says, "i want my hair to be that long. i want to braid it like that. i want that vintage blazer. i want tha..." it cracked me up. and it's true. although i would have added, "i want to look like that."

the page just goes on and on and i finally had to just stop. there was even food. curious page.

break dancing, again...

i like this!! it's a creative dance thing with an excellent little guy in the spotlight. and the music -- oh yes, love the music!

music can pretty much make or break things for me. yay, vincent lee!

lindsey stirling -- yes!

this violinist is a cutie-pie and i very much enjoyed watching her play. she seems to be passionate about music. and i love her outfits.

kt -- listen to/watch the skyrim (peter hollens) vid -- awesomeness triplicated!

whoa there little guy...

watching this video causes me to laugh more than i have in awhile.
