2 Years on The Toilet
OMG there was a story today in the Buffalo News about a woman who has spent the last two years on a toilet and her boyfriend who was bringing her food and water finally called the police. I guess she refuesed to get up for two year and now her legs have atrophied and her skin has literally grown around the toilet seat! UNBELIEVABLE ...HERE IS THE LINK...no this isn't the national enquirer this is the real news here...



tinypliny - 04/05/08 17:58
I guess it was a wise choice to choose the toilet if you chose to spend two years of your life sitting. Human intelligence at work right there.
lilho - 03/17/08 22:49
that's fucked up. only you would post about this. i wonder if they still had sex???

It is usually easy to keep my cover and not reveal that I am an android from the future, but after reading that I have to say humans are gross.
fellyconnelly - 03/14/08 09:26

ladycroft - 03/14/08 04:08

mk - 03/13/08 22:08

Losing Touch With the Estrip
So our computer smells like really burning plastic and so you can only use it for like 5 minutes at a time. So as a by product I only use it like a little every other day ish. And so i never read estrip and i feel so out of it, i can't keep up. It is weird how much free time you find you have though when you dn't check facebook, estrip and myspace endlessly every day...
tinypliny - 04/05/08 18:00
Hahaha.... I just found out I have lost about 7 hours of my day because I am checking this site endlessly. But its SO WORTH it!
metalpeter - 03/04/08 18:48
I'm not computer expert but it sounds like your fan went. Having a computer over heat is not good at all. That being said it is amazing how much time here and myspace can take up.

Walking into An Improvisational Orchestr
So last night after dinner we decided to go to Hallwalls to see the new statue show thing. It was on the cover of artvoice and it features these pink statues that look just like naked people but like 2 feet tall versions. So we go and surprisingly there is like no parking which I was surprised by and we go in and there is a lady taking money and it was $15 dollars per person whihc I thought seemed like a lot and I didn't want to see it that much. So while me and (e:libertad) debated if we should pay or not she said we could just pay for one person if we wanted cuz they just wanted an audience. And i thought ok. So we did and then we wakled the way she told us which was not towards the room with the statues and realized.....WE WERE AT A CONCERT THAT WAS AN IMPROVISATIONAL ORCHESTRA.

It was at first like um what is this? But then it was really kinda cool. Like it was an orchestra with all the instruments and a vocalist and a conductor but no music. It is like controlled improvisation or something. Like what the conductor is doing is telling the people when/how/what to play sort of I think but each person is just improvising what they are playing but in the context of everyone else. I don't know it is hard to expalin> I think the program said it was called CONDUCTION. It was really kinda cool, especially the vocalist who couldn't use words or anything becuase they would have to start and stop. I don't know it was neat but like i also after 45 minutes had enough of it but that was the intermisison so we left anyway. It got a little old after a whlie but I don't konw, if you get a chance I recommend you see a little of it sometime. It was definetley something different.

Then during intermisison the exhibit with the statues was open. it was cool, they were super lifelike but just little. It was kinda creepy to have all these little versions of naked people looking mischievous/and/or crazy around but it was neat. though it may give me nightmares for years to come.

Anywho, I love things like that where you just don't expect something and it just happens cuz you just walk into into it by mistake. I never would have even known it existed it we didn't get tere by mistake.

OMG i almost forgot at one point a person walked in and slipped on the floor and kinda fell (and yes I am one of hose people who can't help but laugh when people fall, maybe it is the fault of growing up on I Love Lucy? where falling is always funny) anywho it was wierd cuz they slipped and made all this sound but it kinda seemed like ti fit in with the music instead of seeming disruptive.


ladycroft - 03/01/08 14:20
Seriously Mike, you had me laughing out loud with this line: "it was wierd cuz the slipped and made all this sound but it kinda seemed likt it fit in with the music"....

Really, I can't stop laughing! They would have had to ask us to leave if I was there with you! HA!

I Gots Me A New Car
Well actually tomorrow I will have a new car. After an exhaustive search for a used blue toyota matrix I finally decided to just bite the bullet and buy a new one. I went to West Herr Toyota in Orchard Park because I had e-mailed Toyota dealers about prices and stuff and they seemed the nicest there. The lady Colleen LeClerc was really helpful and not pushy. I really like it, like she didn't push me to get like the advanced model or extra things and I think i got a pretty good deal because it was a 2008 and now the 2009's have come out. According to my research I paid a good price for it I think. Anywho, I cannot wait to get it! I said I wanted the rest of the weekend to decide so I have to call her tomorrow morning to confirm I want it ( i put down 50 dollars so noone else could buy it just in case) and then since i work 830am-9pm tomorrow they will deliver it to my work! How awesome is that!@ I am super exicted! Here is a stock picture, not my actual car but it looks like this....

It was more than I originally wanted to spend but hey it is a new car and I will keep it for a long time and I think it is worht it. The payments really aren't that bad after the downpayment of my insurance check from the accident!

amanda - 02/28/08 14:21
wohoooo! I cant wait to see it!
jessbob - 02/25/08 21:47
Congrats on the new car mike. I'm sure you will love it.
museumchick - 02/25/08 10:36
That looks really nice! I hope it works out well for you.
mrmike - 02/25/08 10:00
Very cool. Congrats, Mike -- must be fun to be independently mobile again.
jenks - 02/24/08 16:43
congrats! how exciting! When I was waiting to pick up my car (I had to drive to chicago) I actually started DREAMING about it.
ladycroft - 02/24/08 15:56
awesome, congratulations!

I purchased a Pontiac Vibe back in Dec of '02. I still enjoy driving it and it is a Toyota Matrix with a different body style. In fact they are made on the same line. Almost 80,000 miles and is still running well. My grandparents worked for GM way back when or else I probably would have bought the Matrix myself. You will not be disappointed.
