Remember, just because something is easy doesn't mean its what's best for you... or anyone else, for that matter.
I saw these guys at the first anti-war protest I went to in Sanfran last January... very entertaining. Finally, I managed to finish my decorative video tape box the other day. This morning I put up photos from the project, so check 'em out.
My next task in this project is to find some way of grinding down the hinge ends (the smallest ones I could find were still too large), and then I might debate putting some felt buttons on the bottom corners to protect the finish on the underside. When these tasks have been accomplished, there will be photos galore in my projects section. Bis spŠter...
George Handel was born in 1685.
Napoleon III was born in 1808.
Adolph Hitler was born in 1889.
Tito Puente was born in 1943.
Apollo 16 landed on the surface of the moon in 1972.
Columbine High School was the scene of a shooting spree by two depressed and disenchanted students in 1999.
"Liberated and mad at us.. Iraqis take to the streets to protest the US occupation." How hilariously ironic is that, eh? Poetic justice at its finest...
I was watching some idiotic fast-paced show on VH1 this afternoon when I just suddenly got this uncontrollable urge to turn it off. When the tv went black, the only show on was a reflection of myself, darkened by the shade of the glass screen.. sitting in my chair with my feet up, drinking a soda. It was beautiful... I am more important than television. We all are.
I got a 25-gallon air compressor yesterday. It's primary purpose was to allow me to use a sprayer to re-stain on my folks' kitchen cabinetry. I have yet to fully assemble the thing, mainly because I'm still reading through the endless hazard descriptions in the manual. It should be cool, providing I don't get too paranoid about all the safety warnings.
Our government wouldn't have invaded Iraq even partially for the sake of war profiteering.. no way. Oh wait.. yeah.. yeah, looks like we did. My bad.
And, as if invading Afghanistan and Iraq wasn't enough, now the recent sabre rattling with Syria is, quite frankly, beyond frightening. If we invade Syria or any other nation in the world before Bush and his cronies leave office... this is not Rome, but Nazi Germany. Before WW2 broke out, the Nazis invaded and occupied 3 countries in the carefully orchestrated name of security and nationalism. One more for the USA and it's a tie.
Still gung-ho about the war? Read this entire list and if you still feel the same way, there is something genuinely wrong with you. I'm serious.
Huzzah. I completed the first section of the revamped version of my old Historical Atlas of Germany site. I anticipate a launch when I have at least 3 full sections done, which I estimate will be sometime in early summer, if not sooner.
When I haven't been at work, I've been hammering away at the new version of my Historical Atlas of Germany website, which is set to launch probably sometime early this summer. If that wasn't enough, I've also been finalizing the work on the decorative box I've been working on since February. I finally glued the bottom on yesterday, and all that's left to do is cut off the excess, sand the whole thing one last time, put on a clear coat, and attach the hardware. Then I can drive myself further into madness with my second box project, a larger (but easier to make) monstrosity which will house all my old photo negatives. Mad, I tell you... mad. Oh yes, and I've also kickstarted my old "working out" regimen... again.
So Rach, I have now referenced you for the third time. Also, a hearty congrats to Anne at her new job, she starts tomorrow!
As a rule, something is generally wisely not decided unless there is an established pattern of certainty. This was not the case with the weather today, as it hailed, rained, and was blaringly sunny on numerous random occasions. Contrary to today's weather, spring is apparently here in full bloom... literally. Also, a note to the readers: as of the first of April I have begun using a new series of blog icons. Woo. Yeah, even I got sick of the old ones. I have, however decided to continue using a couple of my old favorites... keep an eye out for those select few and much, much more.
