I am too lazy to sort
They should bring back the form factor of the original 7-11 Big Gulp cups, the short squat ones that looked like a mini-bucket. If they go for making it taller as the graphic suggests, then it may look like a less daunting drink. Plus, I didn't know our stomachs were so small. I guess that's why with the 24 oz soda bottles I feel full afterwards.Drink better coffee not more.http://news.nationalpost.com/2011/01/17/graphic-how-big-exactly-is-starbucks-new-trenta-size/

I think I’ll install this at work and pretend that I am on the beach.
After the humiliating defeat to the hated Steelers, what’s a Ravens fan to do? Well instead of getting chocolate wasted, I had to vent my frustrations on twitter (Follow @browsermetrics on twitter yo!) Most of my invective was aimed at Joe Flacco the QB. Well I had to because it would seem like he had lost the game for the Ravens. Two turnovers on consecutive possessions does not make a good outing for a QB. It was bad. And I was angry.
Of course that’s the way the ball bounces. Someone’s got to lose, unfortunately it was the Ravens.
The next day, I felt like pizza. Stopped by the local pizza haunt and look who’s eating lunch — my buddy, Joe Flacco. Should I berate him? Should I yell at him? Give him a sarcastic comment?
I wished him good luck towards next year. He thanked me. As he was leaving the area he signed some autographs for a couple of kids. I couldn’t get angry at him. It was just that one day.
Classy guy. Wish he could’ve won the game. There’s always next year.
"Hey, careful, man, there's a beverage here!"The Dude (Jeff Bridges), "The Big Lebowski"
I saw nice preview of this on Kottke.org wherein the Dude walks into the little Lebowski shop in New York. Imagine the hilarity! So I went to program my DVR to record it but unfortunately the local PBS station on DirectTV seemed to not have it on at all. Luckily for us, it was on public television who always has it available on their website.
Go check it out. The Dude Abides.
Can you make it while living in Hawaii? It is really a beautiful place, but could you make a go at it like our cousin Bob? Is even cousin Bob making a go at it?
But it really is a beautiful place, the fake Hawaii, not withstanding.
Black Swan is a cautionary tale for the creative types. If you seek perfection in what you do, the rigid regimen may leave you vulnerable. You can’t really play wild because it requires you to let go and be rather than act. Of course this could be dangerous as this throws all logic out the window and you’ll go crazy. Just ask Natalie Portman.
Her character can’t be perfect to play the black swan. It tears her up inside trying to find perfection in the flawed. Then it tears her up literally in order to find that spark of inspiration to be the black swan.
This movie pretty much writes itself once you know the players. In fact, I knew even before what was going to happen once you hear about Swan Lake. Portman is the quiet, mousy type who’s talented but vulnerable. Her mother, Barbara Hershey, lords over her as only a tyrannical stage mother can. The French ballet dude lords over her too making her a new star to take the place of the aging Winona Ryder. Mila Kunis comes in as the doppleganger who could be her rival and/or her lover.
I liked that Winona represented the old guard. You have the millenium generation’s ingenue replace gen-x’s gamine. Very symbolic. And lots of this movie made use of symbolic things. Swan Lake with the white swan-black swan. Old versus new. Darkness versus light. Perfection versus intuition.
One last thing, that scene, you know that scene, was pretty hot. Filmed like a nice porno. And don’t masturbate if your moms sleeping in the same room!

Oysters! Get your oysters here. Mmmm. This looks like a blog to read and savor, then go out and mimic these guys by ordering up a dozen at your local raw bar.
Now, I am making myself hungry.
Once in a while, you just have to want to blow up the earth, because earthlings are foolish in their ways. We hate and hate and annoy and hate and despise one another that it’s a miracle that we are still here. We have to stop and remember that we all inhabit this world and there is no place else to go.
Be excellent to each other….
