Wodensday FURY

I'd just like to take this oppurtunity to say a big Fuck You to the City of Austin utilities. Their ineptness in billing caused me to be billed $200 over my bill. So, they say I oe $188, I say 'pay bill' and then today I'm out $388. WTF. Which makes me short on rent, which I already sent in. So I freak out, call the damn place, wait on hold for 10 minutes, talk to an indiot, and they are refunding it. via check. Which will take 2 weeks. Which means I'm screwed. Thankfully, the wonderbrother and superpappy are borrowing me temporary monies. On the down side, this means I have $10 till...next next Friday. So I'll be accepting beer and whatver else you wanna gimme gimme gimme. I can pay back in 'Life Fluid' or maybe an anecdote or a story or something. Or when I get my refund check from these bloodscukers. [End Rant]

Suspended animation - more than just science fiction. Yes, this wonderful scientist has essentially invented a way to suspend life as we know it- all detectable signs of life - then re-animate it the next day. So far, it's short term, but the possibilities are there.

Imagine being able to remember everything about your life. Absolutely everything - all the joys, the love, the triumphs; every date and time, TV show and radio. Every word of ever book you have ever read. Sound like fun? Well, it's more of a hellish nightmare, seems like. All the bad stuff too - every insult, every harsh word, every mistake. Yikes. Well, this lady remembers absolutly everything about everything that's ever happened to her. I wonder if heavy drinking can solve this problem. Medicinal Whiskey, anyone? Really, they gave it to the sick and blind as a public service. Just what we need, a buncha drunk TB patients. Oh wait, it was just a way to serve booze during the prohibition.

Totally awesome glowing mushrooms in Japan! They are bioluminescant; but they just look pretty, they don't contain any substances that may alter the mind. Still, I'd love to have a front patio decorated with such fungus.

The Clockwork keeps ticking along...(Hi Dave!) be sure to check out our progress and updates updated until New Years, when the giant clock burns!

I was watching some TV the other day and there was something on about this guy who had the worst case of amnesia in the world. He only had like a 30 sec. memory span. It was nuts.
