I’m so digging these acoustic covers of the Aya Hirano songs from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. These have been playing non-stop on my iPhone, via these YouTube videos, and on the radio.
School Rumble #283
School Rumble ends at 283 chapters. (;_;)
There’s going to be another School Rumble though! School Rumble Z.
It ends just as I thought it was going to get good. Plus it ends on the most mysterious of notes. Short and curt. No wrap up of Eri x Harima or Yakumo x Harima. Nothing about the girls of 1-D even from last couple of weeks. Nothing about the rival class of 2-D. They just ended it. It’s just an ending. Reminds me of History of the World Part I. That’s one big ending.
I hope they can get these to America so I can complete my bookshelf.

After viewing the video, I already know the answer to the question, “Alien autopsy, fact or fiction?” Needless to say, it’s a real as the zipper of the alien suit the dead guy was wearing.
Quote of the Day [7.23.08]
“Your scientists have yet to discover how neural networks create self-consciousness, let alone how the human brain processes two-dimensional retinal images into the three-dimensional phenomenon known as perception. Yet you somehow brazenly declare that seeing is believing!”
Man in Black (Jesse ‘the Body’ Ventura), The X-Files, “Jose Chung’s From Outerspace”

I’m typing this post up late at night. No, not as late as Marge at The Fish Tank stays up, but close to the witching hour 12 midnight. So when I type clicked on the link to today’s site to make sure it works, it launches the browser’s java console. My machine spikes on its performance meter. The rain outside seems to start up. And I get goose bumps. I hope there’s nothing there.
Le Tour 2008: Cunio-Jausiers
Stage 16 of le Tour was a monster. It went over the highest paved road in Europe over the Cime de la Bonette-Rastafond about 2900 meters high. That’s about 9000 feet! That’s crazy.
The first rider through crashes on the descent. Crazy! He wins the the LeGrange prize for crossing the highest peak of this years tour. Then he crashes. He would’ve won if he stayed out in front. It’s insane that they can go down those slopes at 60mph. I’ve hit 47 mph for a short time. It’s fun to fly but can be somewhat dangerous. I’m no descender because I haven’t ridden any thing big so I don’t have enough practice.
I’m no climber either. Riding only tiny hills.
What a fun tour. The first five places are less than a minute apart. And we have another huge day tomorrow: 3 hors categorie climbs culminating on the infamous, indomitable l’Alpe d’Huez. Ooo, I can’t wait.
An afternoon romp
Senator John McCain is too dishonest to be president. For the candidate who claims to be better at foreign policy and correct about the US policy in Iraq, he doesn’t seem to know shit. It’s as if he’s making it up as he goes along. He’s just plain lying about what he knows.

The Big Foot hoax was squashed several years ago when after the man who shot the most famous Big Foot footage revealed it was just a guy in a gorilla suit after all. Yet, some people don’t take that revelation as the truth. Big Foot may still be out there. These guys will still be on the lookout.
