WTF? hahaha:

on the topic of Dali, I saw a number of Dali originals when I visited the art gallery in Vancouver a couple days ago.

I also saw originals by:

Paul Cezanne, Pablo Picasso, Edouard Manet, Claude Monet, Piet Mondrian, Paul-Albert Besnard, Vincent Van Gogh, Henri Matisse, Pierre Bonnard, Georges Braque, Gustave Courbet, Edgar Degas, Max Ernst, Paul Gauguin, Fernand Leger, Rene Magritte, Joan Miro, Amadeo Modigliani, Camille Pissaro, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Auguste Rodin, Henry Rousseau, and George Seurat

PRETTY FUCKIN KILLER. Tuesdays are free by donation at the van art gallery. FUCKSYES.

having just got home from Vancouver/Seattle, I can give you some airport security advice of my own:

When your bag gets checked because it looks suspicious going through the metal detector, don't say "now THAT'S service" when they buckle it back up for you after searching it.

It's not funny. They won't laugh. Trust me.



Also, here's a fun game to play when crossing national borders by car:

Say the word "patience" over and over and over again as many times in a row until you get through the checkstop and make it to the other side.

We totally scored 10 points on that one. It was awesome. HAMMER IT HOME.

Ed and I were planning on heading down to Heritage Days on Saturday - the more the merrier!

Jere and I would be in for Heritage Days. We don't have any solid plans, so just let us know what day works.

Alright like I was discussing yesterday with everyone at ultimate...

What: Heritage days

When: Saturday, Sunday or Monday (This long weekend)(to be decided by consensus)

So I'll do my usual thing and phone you guys up and then we'll decide on a day which is most convinent(sp?) for everyone.

Computer security expert Bruce Schneier interviews the head of the TSA, Kip Hawley. That link is part 1 of 5. Part 2 was posted today (When can we keep our shoes on?). The remaining parts will be posted this week. I can't wait.

Having gone through pointless security no fewer than 8 times in the past two weeks, and having gone through the security at four different airports in that same time frame, it's nice to at least see the mindset behind the idiocy, rather than to simply be frustrated by it. One of my favorite parts:

If a TSO finds you or the contents of your bag suspicious, you might get interviewed and/or have your bags more closely examined. If the TSO throws your liquids in the trash, they don't find you a threat.

Bah, why is boonstock the same day as folk fest!!!!! I'm gonna miss cadencs So4 and preistess!!!!! I suppose I've seen the first two already, but still!!! I want I want I want!!!! seriously, someone send me to my room for being a whiney brat!!!

Wait, he's the one with the rooster on his shoulder, and he's giving me the funny look?
