i found a website that is absolutely chock full o documentaries. it makes me as happy as a kitten in a milk puddle. boy that was a silly simile.

i watched a documentary about flouride that was absolutely disturbing. i mean i heard that flouride was apparently not so good, but then i watched the documentary (biased as they tend to be) and found that the flouride that they put in our drinking water is, in effect, industrial waste from the phosphate industry. also learned that europe (smart little europeans) rejected flourine additives to their drinking supply in like 98% of their communities. And somewhere around 65% of american communities have flourine additives. And there are a whole bunch of other disturbing facts. Apparently my Pur water filter on my faucet doesn't filter it either.

Then I watched a documentary on Hitler's search for the Holy Grail. And the Ahnenerbe society that Himmler created to aid in this search. Very fascinating.

On another note... Cultural Friday!
We are going to the Albright Knox tomorrow with (E:chico) and Amy! (amy doesn't have an E name i think)
anyone else up for it?

my mother just bought lauren a gun rack at an auction.
because she is sooooo funny.

and then suggested that we put it in our stairwell with a note that says that the occupants' gun was too large to fit on the rack.

my mother is insane.

I am not a cook. I don't know much about cooking, nor have I ever really had much interest.

that being said, I'm starting to experiment. Zucchini and squash stir fry; with spinache pasta

and salsa chicken... with roasted potatoes and corn on the cob!


yeah who knew i could cook?

lauren and i have also taken to eating our dinners outside on the balcony. Nobody else seems to use their balcony like we do... though the neighbors seem to be venturing out there more and more... are we starting a balcony revolution?

on another note...

any of you mac users know how to export video that has been saved into iphoto? it doesn't seem to have that function available...

Okay so the painting is all done and I have photos where you can see some of it.... i don't have a super fancy smancy camera that takes wonderful photos but i did what i could...


That's my cat. On my bed. I have a new bed that is being shipped to me sometime at the end of the month, but the point of this photo is that you can see my pumpkin patch/misty evening paint job.



There is my desk by the door. And one of the fully packed bookcases. notice the misty evening as an accent wall.

oh yes and then there is lauren in the kitchen.


oh what a tiny apartment. i love it.

Lauren just found 'the best of soul train' on tv and i just stared slack jawed for a good ten minutes....cocaine was definetely in high use on that show.

happy birthday james!!!!!!!!!

and how special do i feel that i got mentioned in a sticky?

too bad for all ya'll that i'm boring in person. haha jokes on you!

bed time!
