Ruusuja

Löysin epämääräisen pussukan erilaisia langanpaloja ja rupesin vääntelemään niitä sohvalla aikani kuluksi. Vähän vahingossakin niistä tulikin oikein mukavia ruusuja ja käyvät kompononteiksi erityisesti korvakoruihin. Samalla hoksasin, että tämä ruusuinnostus jäi alitajuntaan viime viikonloppuna, kun Annan Aarteissa oli ohje sytykeruusujen tekemiseen....

Time Change

If you are in the United States ---please remember tonight before you go to bed, Turn your Clocks back one hour. As always I can't wait. I get up early and I hate waking up before Dawn. I know it will be dark ealier now but somehow that is easier to deal with than a pitch black 6am....

Happy Halloween

I want to wish you all a Happy Halloween. There is an aspect between The Moon and Jupiter called a sextile. A sextile is a "get the good times rollin' " aspect and it takes place at 10:46pm EDT. My guess is that the Child Free Parties on the East Coast will have a lot of booze and a lot of food--can't help it when Moon and Jupiter get a groove...

Bucks Have Last Opening Night

The Milwaukee Bucks are starting their season after every other team in pro sports have started their seasons beginning in '09. They are the only NBA team not to have played a game yet. Their season opener starts tonight at 7 EST. The Bucks have been shooting news out of the headlines the past week. Brandon Jennings will start, which bucks Scott Skiles' traditional beef against rookies, but Skiles says it's no big deal. Also this week, the New York Times ran a story about Jennings. They've been covering him since he trailblazed his way to...

Boys and girls of every age, wouldn't you like to see something strange?

Hey.Tulinpa taas kirjoittelemaan menneen viikon tapahtumista.. _Tylsän_ viikon.Viime sunnuntaina lakkasin pitkästä aikaa kynsiini pilkut. :) Niistä tuli kivan näköiset, lukuun ottamatta juuri tuon oikean käden pikkurillin pilkkuja. Ai niin ja leikkasin myös kynteni! En muista milloin olisin viimeksi leikannut ne "vapaaehtoisesti", eli ennen kuin ne...

Stan Van Gundy, Bored NBA Head Coach

The one thing that I always find funny about the NBA is the pageantry of the introductions and the techno light mix that they bring.The Orlando Magic raised their Eastern Conference championship banner and well, Stan Van Gundy was a little on the bored side.I don't blame him, the economy sucks and that NBA Finals winner cut could have bought him a beach house.(Courtesy of Sharapova's Thi...

Huffington Post gives us a startling account of Lyndon Johnson's reactions after the assassinaton of President Kennedy. The source is an "a recently declassified oral history by Brigadier General Godfrey McHugh, President Kennedy's military aide on the Dallas trip."What McHugh claimed to have witnessed next was shocking. "I walked in the toilet, in the powder room, and there he was hiding, with the curtain closed," McHugh recalled. He claimed that LBJ was crying, "They're going to get us all. It's a plot. It's a plot. It's going to get us all.'"...

OTB's NFL Week 8 Picks

World Psoriasis Day

Today is World Psoriasis Day. This is an annual event to bring awareness to this infuriating disease. As I have mentioned ad nauseam, I suffer from psoriasis and try to dispel myths about it whenever I can. Here, from the World Psoriasis Day website:About psoriasis PsoriasisNearly three percent of the world's population endure the symptoms of psoriasis. Many tolerate constant pain from cracking and bleeding skin. They bear the humiliation of continually shedding scales that litter their clothes and surroundings. They struggle with the...

South Park just killed the Miami Dolphins....

On last night's episode of South Park, the main theme of this episode was regarding the TLC show "Whale Wars." The running gag was a group of Japanese people killing dolphins which provided us with this classic South Park scene where they take out the Miami Dolphins."Dude, they speared Joey Porter!"(Clip is NSFW, well it really depends where you work)UPDATE-YouTube removed the video but here is the clip from South ParkStudios....

FDH Lounge: 2009 World Series Preview

While the rest of the country is not very much engaged in a championship tilt or series between any two of the three Northeastern cities of New York, Boston or Philadelphia, it is undeniably compelling anytime that it happens because it is so very rare (indeed, it cannot even happen in the modern NBA or NHL because of the geographic alignment of the conferences). Historic sports cities, fanatical fans ... it's a great atmosphere.Now, I had forecast an all-SoCal World Series before the LCS began and my overall playoff prediction record is only 2-4...

NBA Top 50: The Super Beings (No. 1-4)

So we've been counting down the days 'til the NBA season tips off, and that day is today! With that said, I've been a bit behind in my count-downing-ing. Thus, you get the top 4 in one gi-normous post. Okay, it's not that gi-normous. But what do you want? New accolades for the already universally acclaimed? These guys are the best, and you'd be hard put to find reasonable arguments against it. At this point in his career, you might argue Kobe isn't as valuable as some of the other players. I'd argue he still has a slew of years left in...

Week Two

There really is very little reason to blog when nothing is happening. And the reason for nothing happening? H1N1 flu. Yes, I'm beginning week 2 of the siege. And I'm supposed to have a mild case. Which, I guess, is true--at least compared to most other people. I'm still experiencing fever off and on, every once in a while I try to cough up a lung, and I can't stay upright any longer than a newborn baby, but I could actually be worse. I, at least, don't have a high fever or the aches anymore--which were never that bad--and I don't have much...
