Интересно, идёт ли кто-нибудь на Roger Waters в октябре. Тимоха отказался, говорит, что для полного счастья ему вполне достаточно Ozzy, System of a Down, AFI и т.д., которых он увидит в течении лета. Мне же нужен The Dark Side of the Moon для полного счастья, так что пошла и купила билет. Chris говорит, что тоже пойдёт, но после Арканзаса я ( Read more... ) -

Arkansas trip
wow, what a vacation... It was one of the most intense weeks I've had in a long long time, ranging from spelunking and canoeing to going to raves and watching people do some really hardcore drugs (and most of the time I felt like I was on drugs too due to spectacular amounts of Claritin I had to take to counteract spectacular amounts of pollen).

Our Vacation Plans
We are going to Arkansas for a week! And I am so sick of getting an incredulous "Why the hell are you going THERE??!!!" from people who have never been there (which is almost everybody - almost everybody is incredulous and almost everybody has never been there ( Read more... ) -

The idiocy of disclaimers
I am always amused by disclaimers that state things like "Do not stick your head into a washing machine in operation" and think that well maybe there really are idiots out there who'd try this and then sue the manufacturers when they get hurt. But the disclaimer at the end of a TV show that I just watched is one of the most absurd I've ever seen ( Read more... )
