Is anyone else as excited as I am for the upcoming movie "Snakes on a Plane?" It's got it all! Samuel L Jackson! Snakes! A Plane! SOOOOO GOOOOOD!!!! I must see it in the Theatre!

A Trailer! Sort of....

Which brings me to the topic of movie villians. They are the most creative people we have. They want to kill Samuel L Jackson. So rather than, say shoot him, they say no! let's be creative and fill his plane with snakes! It's genius.

And what is it with Samuel L Jackson and nature? Why does nature hate him so much? First he's eaten by sharks, now snakes? Poor guy. When he fights humans, he's a bad ass, but against animals, including dinosaurs (and sith) the guy gets his ass kicked. I want to see a movie where Samuel L Jackson destroys a rainforest or something.

OK, so Lorrie and I have become forced vegans for the duration of her gallbladder problems. We stocked our fridge with tons of good veggies and stuff, but I have no idea how to combine it all into meals.

So we need suggestions, recipes, and advice. We both used to be vegetarian, but of the "doritos don't have meat in them, right?" variety. We lived on junk, which is not so much an option now.

Any help, links, recipes, what ever will be repayed with well wishes and good karma!

This!

That is, if they get the hydrogen engine going, and ya know, figure out how to manufacture hydrogen in mass quantities without fucking the environment up worse than a gasoline engine...
Also, does anyone else feel like vox somehow is anti-short post? On LJ and GJ, I didn't feel bad writing two sentance posts, but this site makes it seem wasteful to do so, somehow. Like the only thing worthy of posting here must be 2 pages and meaningful. Ehh...it's probably just me.

It's in the high 90's right now.  It is probably going to break the temp record set in 1933. You know it's too hot when you get annoyed at the handicapped person taking so long to get onto the bus. I'm a horrible person.

Into the 100's tommorow and Saturday. I may kill myself.

I won't be shooting that stuff anymore. Firing blanks. The doctor's office was weird on the phone. They do the consult and the procedure on the same day. That's cool, because it will be over quick, but it sucks because they don't dope me up with Valium the day before. It's go in, talk to the doc, get numbed, then cut, all within an hour. But it will get Lorrie off the hormonal BC that is fucking with her right now, which is good.

I go in on August 18. and I can't ride my bike for two weeks after. Suck. On the plus side, masturbation is encouraged, because it clears out any remaining sperm from the vas deferens. So I have doctor's orders to spend some quality time with my self. Oh Yeah!

What's the most extreme weather you've been in? A memorable storm? Heat wave? Or something else?

Hmm...In 2002 there was a blizzard here in Denver that snowed about 4 feet of snow in two days. It was awesome. It shut the whole city down.
Growing up in Grand Junction, weather was ussually quite boring. GJ is the very North/East tip of the great painted desert of the southwest, and it averages less than 10 inchs of rain/snow per year. And the majority of that precipitation comes in early summer when the monsoons roll in. They are amazing. The clouds look like they are boiling in the sky, then suddenly, without warning they open up. Rain dumps in sheats, often inches of rain in minutes. The canyons flood and wash out in great rolling grinding floods, crushing everything in front of it. Then, after a few mere minutes of rain, it stops as quick as it started, and everything blooms. The water evaporates in hours, but during that hour the desert blooms. Flowers open on the cacti, toads dig out of the mud, mate, then bury themselve to wait for the next storm. The red sandy soil turns green with small plants. For a breif time there is water in the arroyos, and all the animals come out to drink. A cease fire is declared, and coyotes drink with mice. It is not the most extreme weather ever, but it is an amazing phenomenon to witness, like watching the world be destroyed then rebuilt in front of you. David Childs, a water geologist called watching a desert storm "catching God in the act of creation," and he's right.

This is now my blog. Aren't I so cool?

Will I miss communities? It's the question everyone is talking about now!
