Fuck you (very, very much)
I love this video especially this Hungarian version. So awesome. I want to sing it to all the homophobes I have to speak to on the phone as part of my job. It would be so satisfying.

Free range
This is my Uncle's chicken coop. His kids love it especially my cousin Patrick who is shown below. They just got the roosters back from being processed and are now in the fridge. I would love to have some fresh meat and eggs from real free range chickens.

Plumbing issues
I just found a small drip under my kitchen sink. I don't want to call the stupid maintenance line to have them fix it because I won't know when they are coming to fix it and I don't like having the workers they hire to be in my house. They don't know what they are doing for the most part anyways. They could probably fix this but I don't know for sure.

Here you can see on the left a small drop of water coming out of the joint. I felt above it and it was dry so it is definitely at the joint.
image

This is from the bottom up. Again you can see the drop at the joint.
image

This picture is to ask if the knob at the right end is to turn off the water before I try and fix it?

image

I have no idea what I am doing so I just want to know if I can fix this myself or if I should call the dumb and dumber team to try and fix it? I really don't want them coming in here when I am not home and I know they won't try and arrange a mutual time to come and fix it. Last I knew it was they just show up on Saturday morning to come and fix whatever problem without giving notice first.

ya, that sucks. a major pro to renting is not having to deal with crap like that.
libertad - 08/19/10 11:03
I think I'll just leave the bucket underneath and hope it doesn't get worse. I hate my building management so much.
tinypliny - 08/19/10 09:16
There are a number of kitchen sink DIY instructions around the web, but Paul is right. May not be the wisest thing to mess with unknown water-spurting dragons.
paul - 08/18/10 22:41
I wouldn't do this without someone which know plumbing being there yo help if you break it.
tinypliny - 08/18/10 20:55
The two knobs turn off water from the double sinks above in my kitchen (do you double sinks?)

It might be an easy fix but do you have a rubber gasket? Maybe the old one providing the seal has worn off? It has a similar function to the rubber gasket between the blender jar and the blade - prevents fluids from leaking and provides a tight seal.

Boring breaks
My breaks are so boring. Recently they forced us to take half hour lunches and two fifteen minute breaks when we used to just take a whole hour. Now we are too short staffed to have everyone out on lunch around the same time...

So I need more fun things to look at because I really have seen just about all I can handle from peopleofwalmart.com. I need exciting and fun webpages to keep me occupied. Any suggestions besides estrip?

And here is the latest from people of walmart.

From the article you sent:

Alwash grins, and then he says: "One of my strengths is that I don't let myself be constrained by reality."

I wish I were more like him. :-)

This is my favourite site: :::link::: I love choosing random things on there to read when I feel adventurous and want to get rid of pettiness of thought.
libertad - 08/12/10 11:01
Thanks so much (e:leetee). Unfortunately my job blocks a lot of those websites for some reason. I will talk to my boss about it since really we don't have the freedom to leave our office during our breaks the only thing we have is the internet. Cute Overload was really good, I checked it out at home last night.
paul - 08/11/10 23:19
I love cute overload.

Flowers in the Attic
The other day I was thinking about probably my favorite "novel" of all time. I say "novel" because it is said to have some truth in it. I suppose they all have some truth, maybe even more truth than non-fiction. Anyways, my favorite book when I was younger was Flowers in the Attic. My mom got it for me from the library. Looking back I can't believe she got that for me because she sheltered me from so much on TV. The book was definitely controversial for its time, even now it deals with the taboo.

It really is quite scary and totally insane. So when I started thinking about the book I decided to see if I could find the movie online and I watched it on youtube in about 15 parts. The movie was really good too. It didn't quite get into the incest but it dabbled in it. Flowers in the Attic is really dark and disturbed.

This is the book cover, although when I read it the book was a black hard cover with no jacket. It made me not want to read it considering the title was Flowers in the Attic, I thought what kind of crap is this.

This is the woman who plays the grandmother in the movie.

This was like one of my favorites when I was 13! I really liked her books, and her ideas that she passed on to the other writer when she died, but then they started getting real teeny-bopper about 6 series in and I stopped.
libertad - 08/12/10 11:02
Nobody has read this book? I'm surprised.
jenks - 08/11/10 11:43
ha, I remember when those books came out. I never read them, but I remember that my friends that did thought they were all dangerous and sneaky reading these scandalous books without their parents knowing.
tinypliny - 08/10/10 20:47
I just read on the wiki that the author died of breast cancer at 63.
tinypliny - 08/10/10 20:46
My favourite was Middlemarch. I don't think I have ever read this author.
