So we finally got the new pond slash pool looking thing filled with water. Duly so, we took the three koi and the giant gurami and gave them what amounts to a penthouse apartment compared to the little pond they’ve lived in for the last 3+ years.
I took a video of gurami all happy swimming around and scoping out his new diggs. Enjoy!
i’ve been watching television… that’s as opposed to the podcasts that I normally watch during the week via the Internet (www.getmiro.com). so… CNN… lovin the news coverage regardless of the form… so right now i’m watching on TV…. anyway…
i keep seeing these commercials, however; that start talking about (paraphrasing) ‘we have taken 1.2 billion dollars and reinvested it in finding new sources of energy’… and while this rolls on the screen a picture of drilling depth analysis comes across the screen. i refuse to take that. i believe that is misleading immediately.
i think that finding news sources of energy would not include new places to do the same thing we’ve been doing. if oil companies just sucked it up and a handful invest in solar, another bunch invest in wind and so on then we could all just shut the hell up. EnergyTomorrow.org … let’s get real eh?!
so CNN, while i’m at it. why don’t you just replay the footage of McCain out in Columbia getting briefed about the rescue of Ingrid Betancourt? and remind the world that McCain was one of the individuals that had spoken against bush while overseas (to mention people that have broken that ideal Obama touched on while speaking with Sarkozy).
next order of business is the nuts. what do i mean about that? well i was watching the other day and i saw a news special about a commercial banned in the UK because it was anti-gay. Mr. T busts through a neighborhood to shoot snickers bars at this hip-swishing jogger boy. it was some funny stuff i tell ya. i didn’t mind the totality of it. the last part here he screams “get some nuts” was hilarious.
so in the same space, why can’t other people say nuts without it being n**s or n*bleep* expletive whatever. really. i won’t go on at length about this. but yeah… wow.
last thing… Obama isn’t acting like a president. the only people that are literally listening to this are listening to you guys in the news room. you treat him like a rockstar before, and now that he’s international you, the news outlets, have helped us put him on the presidential pedestal. don’t let’s stand back and act like current heads of state, former heads of state and all staff alike haven’t given their opinions A-PLENTY on all news shows. so… stop treating him like a friggin rockstar. clearly, however; the guy knows how to book a nice whirlwind trip. i could envy his passport stamps! (Paris will be so nice this year). either that or start treating McCain like a rockstar.
naughty naughty CNN…

Download the video to watch it.: DownloadAt just after 1:30 pm EST today, a car stopped at a the busy intersection of Ave Juan Ponce de Leon and Ave Theodore Roosevelt in the metropolitan district of Hato Rey, San Juan caught fire just as police and fire rescue crews reached it to quench the flames.
As temperatures grow this summer, more and more fires like this one occur every year all over the island of Puerto Rico as well as the rest of the United States. In NYC this year, during the month of June alone, fire fighters responded to 1,588 non-structural fires according to NYC.gov website monthly statistics.
With many people also fighting for cash to pump into their car for gas, many are also forgetting to pump some money into regular maintenance.
Download the video to watch it.: DownloadAs we were on our way to work today, this guy decided he had to turn left but he didn’t want to wait in line with the only two left hand turn lanes available. So he hopped right up to the side of us and sure enough he out the pedal to the metal to jump out in front when the left turn arrow came on. Nice job dude… were you late or somethin? Whoever you are in your Black 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage, Puerto Rico license plate number ECR 241, your car registration expired… I hope it was worth it!
So for anyone out there interested, I recently upgraded to WordPress version 2.6 at the behest of my hosting provider. I got an email basically telling me to upgrade or else they’d suspend my account. Needless to say, in addition to this site, I also host like 12 other sites. So I totally upgraded.
Unbeknown to me, this upgrade breaks the podPress version 8.8 that we all use to post the podcasts you see here. Well, I would like to thank Philip Molly Malone for posting a fix for this yesterday. I implemented what he said and BOOM we’re podcasting again!
Here’s the link to his fix and I suggest that anyone with a broken podPress 8.8 installed on WordPress 2.6 complete this very easy edit of your wp-config.php file. One little thing to make sure of is that you’re using the correct apostrophe when editing the file. I copy and pasted and the apostrophe used on the fix page isn’t the the right kind. You would do well to type it out manually into wp-config.php, using the apostrophe key that sits to the immediate left of the ‘Enter’ or ‘Return’ key on your standard QWERTY keyboard.
By the way, as he states, the thing that breaks podPress is the new “revisions” feature of WordPress 2.6. I don’t really care about revisioning when it comes to my blog posts or podcast episodes so I’m more than happy to have it turned off by this edit anyway. HAPPY BLOGGING/PODCASTING EVERYBODY!
We were watching the podcasts downloaded from the night before and this French one, Le Zapping du Web, has videos, mostly in French, not unlike the Digg Reel would be for us. The catch it, they don’t really say where it came from and it’s like channel surfing, like the original TV based Le Zapping, which also has it’s own podcast. Annnnyyway I kind liked it and instead of posting it on YouTube, I stuck it here for it’s androgynous value (I question the gender of the person playing and singing it).
Yea so… Jeff and I like to do random shit on our vacation fun time. So we stopped a while back while we were in L.A. to do something we’ve done more than once, get a haircut on vacation. We did it once in Amsterdam and if Olga only knew that she made such a lasting impression on me… it would melt her heart. Anyway this place made a lasting impression with posters, postcards and album covers all over the walls. They must have glued the older stuff on at the top and worked their way down with some of it. Los Angeles hair cuts aside, mine was great and Jeff’s sucked. I blamed it on his eternal ephemeral nature, the same reason he says he can never be an architect?! Enjoy the quick shoddy tour of the place; it was a gutted kind of tire change slash drive up service center remade into a 20 station beauty parlor, with coloring station and F.I.F.O. walk-in service. I just found the two video files and mixed this up today!
so i realized today that i hadn’t written a blog post in a while… thusly… this is the random post that will hopefully get me back on track to updating the ol’blog once and a while. since we last met, the BF and I went to chicago with a friend of ours for what turned out to be (basically) a really amusing tailgate party 45 minutes outside chicago, il. it was fun, we drank alot! the blue pt cruiser we rented was totally choice for this adventure. kudos to budget for renting it to me. so yeah, it was supposed to be the midwest electronic music festival but it was more like 250 people at the county fairgrounds rolling face off dopey pills. i wouldn’t recommend the orange playboys. i’ll give it up to infared productions for trying tho… a for effort!
As Joanne from RocketBoom.com was about to explain, John McCain has apparently become a meme *Dehydrated Babies* *Dehydrated Babies* *Dehydrated Babies* *Dehydrated Babies* (My little sister would love this!)
