Costume ideas I will never do
1) The cup from 2girls1cup. I just wouldn't feel comfortable explaining that costume all night. And if it required no explanation, well, then it was just too disgusting a costume.
2) Half a horse. You know how you get two people together into a single horse costume. Well, cut it in half and dangle fake intestine out the back. A new take on a classic.
3) Bea Arthur on top, velociraptor on the bottom. This was inspired by my favorite novelty artist, Brandon Bird
So, make a journal with your crazy ideas. Who knows, maybe someone else will pick up your dream and go as Michael Jackson with a my buddy doll glued to the crotch.

Little Victories
Over the years I have developed a number of strategies for dealing with my depression. For one, I no longer deploy my 'drink' strategy, as that only works for about an hour. But exercise is one that has been in repertoire for a little over a year. Feel like shit? Go for a jog. Want to lock yourself in a New York hotel and write poetry? Do some squats.
So this morning I pulled out onto Elmwood on my bike to go to work when I get stuck behind the dreaded bus. Getting stuck behind the bus is hell, and this is doubly true for cyclists who have to breath in the exhaust. So at Bidwell I decide I am going to pass the fucker and beat him to Allen. Ten minutes later I was laughing at the bus still stuck at Summer. HA!
When inconsequential things can put your mood in a long funk, you need little victories to keep your spirits high. So now I am off to conquer the world and have a kick ass day. You do the same.

Goodreads
A friend invited me to a social networking site last week called GoodReads. It is like Last.FM but for books. So far I have gotten a few good recommendations from checking it out, but more interesting is that I get to see what my friends like to read.
So, if you are on there just comment with your user name.

Shugo Tokumaru
But I recently stumbled upon an act I really like, Shugo Tokumaru. His songs are layered really nicely. With lots of goodies going on beside the melody.
Take a listen
and this, I just can't get enough of this video. Katamri without the ball.

Little Britain's Big Swim
I saw an enjoyable documentary yesterday in which David Williams of British Comedy troupe Little Britain prepares himself for nine months, while on tour, to swim the English Channel for charity.

A Man of Impeccable Character
With people I have serious disagreements with, I try not to assume that because there are disagreements that the person is entirely bad. Particularly with politics I try to see people in the GOP in the best of lights possible. John McCain was such a person before this election. Perhaps this was due to the fact he was from distant Arizona and his activities were under less scrutiny in the New York universe. But he has lost it.
It seems that now that his campaign has been derailed by selecting the most incompetent possible vice-presidential candidate, John and Sarah are just going for character attacks. After all, they barely lied their way through the debates so why not just attack the man himself?
What happened?

Drink
My brother told me "get I C Lite". Now, I don't drink lite beers. If I want a beer I will have a beer, and if I want water I will have water. None of this in-between nonsense. When I looked at him like he had just recommended the feces on the menu he said "oh... fine. Get whatever you want" and looked saddened, like I didn't respect his opinions on such things.
As it turns out, I should have no respect for his opinions. Oh, I was told of surprising, good taste. At the grocery store I found a case. It looked pretty wretched, but I didn't want to disappoint. It is also brewed in Pittsburgh, which seems like a town that knows its beer.
The moral of this story is, never take alcohol advice from a man who loves jagger-bombs.
On a side note. Two people who volunteered on the campaign are dropping off cookies! I love them. They are the finest people on the planet.
