Sand Monkey

I had a great day.

Read Naylor's Baily's Cafe. Wrote for a few hours. Took a swim. Then in the desert went for an hour jog/walk in the big empty. I took these pics before and after.

While some days here feel like prison. Some days feel magical. Must be like marriage, eh Ty?


I have no idea why I posed like this. Nothing in old duder's head. Not a thing. But I think it's hilarious. Maybe I should have tried to talked to someone today. Maybe a little too much solitude.

A student sent this to me. I had all of my classes read it to better understand Existentialism. Sometimes I do love my job.

Heh...

The National

The National is a band I've been listening to a lot lately. Their new album 'High Violet' is available to listen to on NPR in its entirety until 5/11 I think.

Stand By Me

Go Big Red!

Wisconsin had allowed 70 points only three times all year, two of those coming in overtime games. Yet Bo Ryan's defense got sliced like a machete through warm gouda. Cornell shot 61.1 percent, the highest percentage by any team against the Badgers in the Ryan era.

Sweet sweet victory.

We'll get some burgers, some brews, our troubles are over

So our day started with the bunny dog (aka Dancer) eating a bag of chocolate and shitting her brains out. Then we got to the mountain and the whole mountain is closed due to wind. So what do we do?

We head straight to the liquor store and are drinking beers at 10:30 am and watching Cornell kick some ass in the tournament. I love it when Tim comes to visit!

I also love it when people talk about Cornell and it doesn't involve the gorges.

Accidentally Wretching

So, this song came on today at my gym and I thought to myself, "Wow" this is the shittiest song ever, I have to find out what it is!" Well I found it and it turns out it's by Counting Crows which is very disappointing. I'm not angry...just disappointed that they would perfrom the worst song ever for the Shrek 2 soundtrack. So I look it up on Youtube and find the music video, which just so happens also to be the worst music video ever. Great!

Actually, the music video has two savings graces:
1. There is a hot girl that does nothing but lie around in her underwear.
2. the end is actually worth it if you can make it through the whole thing. I think space monkey will enjoy it especially.

Uggg. God damned Zombies everytime! EVERYTIME!

Digital Nation

PBS has this show on Frontline: Digital nation. (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/digitalnation/).
It's worth checking out. Some funny and scarry stuff.
But it dissapoints because of some rather biased journalism with the South Korean kid. And it dissapoints by lacking the chomps to make a stronger stand.
The antinomy of these two criticisms doesn't bother me, because I'd like the show to have chomps and argue about how this bull shit "multi-tasking" really dumbs down people. Instant gratification of any sort is nothing new, and not impressive. The piece could easily make a good arguement without the maudlin and cheesy South Korean mother lamenting her addict kid. Those aren't chomps; it's cant. (No the apostrophe is not missing. The word is cant. I had to look it up a few days ago.)
Even if you don't watch the PBS show, you should check out: http://www.thearmyexperience.com/about-the-army-experience-center/the-story-of-the-center

The army has a center where you can play video games (including life-sized simulators) for free. It's for recruitment. Plush leather chairs. Free x-box.

South Dakota: state of genius

I have a feeling that a lot of southern states are happy they haven't done this yet. I love how they include astrology, thermology, and cosmology in the climate debate, despite the fact they have nothing to do with climate change, and include spelling errors.

Snow Science

So this last week I've been working on a project at the top of Steamboat. Here are some pictures from one of the NASA guys I've been working with, they maintain a field blog, click on each listing for all the pics. The awesome thing about the week was when we figured out that the NASA Goddard engineers had fucked up the design of the instrument stand. Fucking engineers!

I hate to be crude, but...BOOBIES!

It's Stout Month, Bitches

February is a good time to pass through Boulder. Here is the opening lineup for Stout Month!

1. Stout Month is here and will be celebrated starting February 1st at all three Mountain Sun locations.
After a year-long wait, the 17th-Annual Stout Month celebration is finally here, and for the first time ever, all three Mountain Sun locations will fill their tap boards with the luscious black ale.
It all began when Jack Harris, Mountain Sun’s original brewer, decided to honor the great stout 17 years ago. We have continued this tradition every February by filling our tap boards with the best local, regional and national interpretations of the stout.

Here’s the starting line-up at all three pubs (available Monday, February 1st):
Nitro Coconut Cream Stout
Nitro Yonder Mountain Stout
Young’s Double Chocolate Stout
Stoked Oak
Addiction – New coffee imperial

Cornell Men's Basketball

Ty and I are probably the only ones who care, but our Men's Basketball team is really good this year. They are number 27 in the ESPN/USA Today poll this week.

This one's for dad. I have to admit I think this is pretty funny:

Monkey Sex

"So it's time to go break up with your banker and get the hell out. Go to MoveYourMoney.info and see just how easy it is to end your abusive relationship and find true banking love. Or, at least hot, sweaty, monkey, banking sex."
