the challenges of doing research is a highly idiot-charged field

so i was DYING to use this book as a solid source for my research project - it had everything i could ever want and more. it's on islamic messianism and mahdist movements in islamic history. i swear it's cool.

anywho, after coming across a questionable statement, i decided to pull up some info on one mr. timothy furnish online.

i found his website. www.mahdiwatch.org

to my horror, this scholar that specializes in Islam and the Middle East has chosen to adorn the very top of his own webpage with a photo taken from the sword/gun fight in Raiders of the Lost Ark.



i'm just so angry. there goes that source.

i mean, can you imagine? 200 praying mantises crawling all over his large backyard? i know he'd love it for the gardening utility, but i'm trying to imagine my 3-year-old niece running away in horror, the only type of horror that can be brought on my the vision of a alien bug devouring another alien bug.



yesh. that is the exact image i have. like a gigantic invasion. a plague upon his backyard.

i do suppose this could make for an excellent prank.

it's a done deal. praying mantis invasion it is.

i wonder how exciting it is to be the servant with the power to fuck with your gas consumption.

Damn Near Every Afternoon

I'm telling you, this is exactly what happens to me in the afternoon if i'm not at program.

this comic is part of the ingenious webcomic Garfield Minus Garfield. Basically, all characters besides Mr. Jon Arbuckle are erased, making a fascinating strip exploring schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and existence in general. Not every single strip is a keeper, but there's a delicious bit of warmth or superiority when you read one and just get it.

Really Significant and Momentous Scrabble Game

First of all, check out that sexy little board. Check out the words. There are some really arousing words on there. Arousing in that scrabtacular way.

Second of all, you should know that this game was played by Jovanna and moi. You have to appreciate the situation. We had originally planned to enjoy our game in some picturesque setting (i.e. the beach). BUT it was a primary day, so we ended up playing the entire game to the soothing sounds of CNN and an Obama winning streak! We're as junked up as people parachutin' heroin.

The coolest part of all, WE TIED THE GAME 209-209. O! THE CHILLS RIDING MONSTER TRUCKS DOWN MY BUMPY SPINE! O! THE LITTLE WOODEN BLOCK PARTY! A TOTAL LETTER BOMB, IF YOU WILL!

so yeah. jovanna and i had an awesome weekend.

My number one choice is nail him to the wall, but that might be a waste of a good wall.
