| Corey Haim Death Pool Addendum |

Well okay, granted, according to a few medical autopsies they theorize Corey collapsed due to issues with an enlarged heart and lung fluid buildup somewhat akin to pneumonia, at least what I drew from the reports about the autopsy.
Even so, this does not cause some wary suspicious wondering. Lets face it, Nobody is eitehr denying Corey's drug use and abuse and attempts at recovery. His enlarged heart issue could have been fast tracked to collapse on him from said earlier drug use. It probably caused extra highs and endorphins when he did drugs,take the idea of Lance Armstrong the guy with the enlarged heart who won numerous Tour De Frances and other notable bicycle races the natural highs he must've had in his exercise routines. Extra blood pumping around. NOw apply that idea to someone with a similar condition, but take it a darker direction:
Corey Haim enlarged heart, pump some drugs into bloodstream, extra heart pressures to pump those drugs all the way through the body. Probably causing and creating higher and tougher addictions to substances and likely for him tougher to shake because it made more notorious highs than perhaps your typical drug user. All this is supposition and speculation on my behalf and I fully admit I'm far from any medical expert but I can at least make some logical connections that this supposition and speculation may not fall TOO far from whatever did in fact happen.
Even giving the medical benefit of doubt with the heart failure scenario and no immediate evidence of chemical or drug overdose in the immediate sense, what's to say Corey's collapse was caused by damage done previous to his collapse. it was a system waiting to break.
This does not cancel the tongue-in-cheeky Death Pool I'mn still running. But we have yet another new member to our Celebrity Death Pool. Now add Lance Armstrong. Health advocate, bike racer, Tour De France Winner. If Corey can collapse dead from an enlarged heart, who's to say Lance isn't next? You hear about those types of Athlete-drops-dead in their prime stories. Granted Lance doesn't quite fit the original pool focus Kid-Celebrity-grownup-next to Drop dead. but.. whatever. Too bad. He's in! |

| Bonfire for the Spring |
[Mar. 10th, 2010|06:33 pm] |
I am posting here because it appears that a lot more people actually read this than I thought.
I have a metric fuckton of wood scraps that need to get burned up in Thompson, CT (10 min from my house in Webster). I was thinking about having a big bonfire sometime soon-ish.
Anyone want to make a day and evening of it?
Marshmallows, hot dogs, beer, etc, can be consumed.
You supply things you'd like to sacrifice to Agni (hindu god of fire) and outdoor type chairs for you to sit on.
There is a house, with a working bathroom, sink and cooking stove, but we are in the middle of remodeling so that's about all that there is... literally.
For out of towners, I have a spare bedroom and a lot of couch space at my real place down the road from the bonfire site.
Also, awesome place to watch stars for those city dwellers who don't get to view them very often.
I was thinking maybe this weekend. Sat and Sun might be dry, but I have enough wood that I can set a good burn going in a downpour, we could watch from the porch with the beers, etc.
let me know if anyone is interested... I don't imagine I'll get it all done in one weekend, so we can always get peeps together for a round two. |

| Another Dead Child Star Overdose. |
[Mar. 10th, 2010|06:27 pm] |

| | bouncy | ] |
River Phoenix. Child Star. Dead of Overdose years back.
Brittany Murphy. Young Star. Pneumonia but suspected heavy drug use and overdose rumored to be a heavy contributing factor. Dead.
Michael Jackson, though it took him a lot longer to get to the stage, and the doctor who administered the medications is not entirely out of the hot water himself, the argument still stands that Jackson inevidably is Dead as a result of an evident overdose and mixture of drugs.
Now Corey Haim, Child star of the 80's famous for Lost Boys and several "buddy films" with other child star Corey Feldman Overdosed on drugs. Dead.
So... forgive me if I'm a bit cheeky and desensitized to all this now.. but.... Let's start a Celebrity Child Star Overdose Pool. Who's the next in the Pool of sad tragic Child Star Overdose deaths? And what should the prize be upon succesful guessing. Let's keep the pool from the following list:
A.) Macaulay Culkin - Child star of the Home Alone Movies. you know he's dipping into the magic snowdust and binging on vodka bottles. He'll soon star in Crack House Alone. It's only a matter of time!
B.) Drew Barrymore - She's come a long way to shake her later teen addictions but this saucy bitch is due for a hard fall and relapse back into the heavy dark world of overdosing on poppers and smack. E.T. the Ecstasy Trip indeed.
C.) Jodie Foster - Oh? you think she's immune just because she's a current sophisticated A list hollywood woman of stature? Remember she starred in such lovely child friendly films in her youth such as "Candleshoe". That's enough to try to dip into some dark demons of drugs and fall down dead.
D.) Rick(y) Schroeder - Silver Spoons anyone? Yeah, especially if he's cookin' some smack in the bowl of said spoons. I bet he is. Odds are favorite for him to end up face down in a pool of overdosed pills and his own barf.
E.) Abe Vigoda and Betty White. Their recent starring roles in the Snickers Super Bowl Commerical. Were they child stars? Who cares! They're going to end up dead from drug overdoses, the both of them! Vote early and often for this duo to be dead together in front of some Hollywood Club sooner or later. Or maybe backstage at their new Las Vegas cabaret show!
Vote In the Comments. Winners Will receive a Dead Celebrity plaque and all the drugs responsible for causing said celebrieties to overdose and die so they can recreate their own personal superstar drug overdose experience. |

| | Ingrid Michaelson - Giving Up | ] |
I am not usually so gauche as to ask: "Why don't you say 'I love you'?" But that evening was a special occasion.
Veterans of our own personal war, it was apropos that we spent the hours walking around the Vietnam memorial park. Snow still crunching under our feet in places, the hint of spring left part of the grounds soft with ice melt. The warm sun had begun to thaw the pond and seasonal streams left puddles at the base of the hill.
The Memorial of Words, letters to home carved in stone, read as disjointed as our conversation; skirting the obvious with small bits of pleasantry. Capturing fragments in time on dramatically placed pillars, monuments to the moment much like this.
We backtracked through our footprints, just one more distraction of impermanence. Our lives were spent moving in circles, re-covering old ground. We'd been here before, many times. I didn't need to consult oracles, the road was etched in detail on my heart.
Before the sun set, the chill of winter crept back in, so we sat in the warmth of my car. Retreating to relative privacy did nothing to thaw our words or his hesitant tongue, frozen in an averted gaze.
I gained no closure from his lack of answers, but that was nothing new. Like a slow pan to the triviality of a city scene, there was no resolution. Life went on.
He had to return to the rest of his life, breaking a final embrace. Our time was never enough.
"Because you already know I do." he smiled and got into his car. |

"Once upon a time and a very good time it was..."
"I woke up this morning with a bad hangover"
"The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel."
"When a day that you happen to know is Wednesday starts off by sounding like Sunday, there is something seriously wrong somewhere."
"He woke, and remembered dying."
"Who is John Galt?"
"In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice I've been turning over in my mind ever since."
"The first time I read the ad, I choked and cursed and spat and threw the paper to the floor. "
"Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."
"Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show."
"It was a wrong number that started it, the telephone ringing three times in the dead of night, and the voice on the other end asking for someone he was not."
"For a long time, I went to bed early."
"If I am out of my mind, it's all right with me, thought Moses Herzog."
"The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there."
"Of all the things that drive men to sea, the most common disaster, I've come to learn, is women."
"He was born with a gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad."
"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth."
"All this happened, more or less."
Beginnings are important, but much less so than endings. The thought that lingers while you drift into sleep. The last words spoken. The feeling you carry away with you as you close the car door and back down the driveway.
It is the time we are alone, reciting lines, solidifying memories, rehearsing our late comebacks and all the things we now wish we had said, when all the nuances of day are subtly influenced by how it ended.
The slight smirk accompanying the last words spoken, before being frozen in carbonite. "I know."
The warmth of your arms, sealing the day how it had begun, with a hug.
Every ending is a beginning.
Each morning, he tucks me in, kissing me gently and telling me he loves me.
His exit stage left, is the beginning of my day. |

Nestled warmly in his arms, we tried to recount our previous night's reminiscing.
How had we ended up sleeping on opposite sides of the bed?
Ah, Yes. Our first kiss, back on Congress St.
And how drifting on the edge of sleep, I realized he was still kissing me and it wasn't just a goodnight peck.
As he caressed me, I joked that if we were going to make this a regular thing, we should retire to bed earlier - not that I would mind one bit, of course.
I told him we should go somewhere.
In his usual note of skepticism, he asked; "Where?"
"Wherever you want. But we should go somewhere, just the two of us."
Though I promised not to let his secret out, Shane can be very romantic, when he wants to be.
He suggested NY. I mentioned a B+B in Maine and he joked about keeping the other guests awake.
I suggested a tropical island, Mexico or Brazil.
He mentioned Oregon and Canada and balked about not being able to take a week off right now.
I kissed him, "I know, but we can think about it for when you can. We should take a real vacation, Spain, Hawaii, St. Petersburg, we could even go to Japan if you wanted."
"St. Petersburg... Florida." he teased me, "Yea, we could afford one night, or maybe just a layover in Japan."
... and so our banter continued while we made love.
Fiji, California, India, New Orelans, Switzerland, Reno, Colorado.... Skiing, Swimming, someplace warm enough not to wear clothes. The USA not allowing us back in and we live happily ever after in Canada...
And as we cleaned up getting ready for sleep, he tried to pet our neurotic cat laying at the foot of the bed and she squirmed.
"Don't pull away from me." he teased her.
.... "Don't pull away from me." I echoed softly.
"Don't pull..." I mouthed the words. "No.... Don't... Walk."
"Don't walk away from me." I whispered, my eyes searching, finding that memory I was missing.
Shane came to my side and asked me if I was ok, my perplexity mirrored in his eyes.
"Don't you walk away from me." I breathed, the sentence becoming clear in my mind. "No. I'm not ok."
Just like getting sucker punched in the stomach, I doubled over crying. Completely, somewhere else.
Hearing my father's words reverberate in my head, trying to close my eyes both here and back in the bedroom.
As my tears subsided, I felt him over me; his head nestled in the back of my neck, holding me compassionately.
He whispered gentle consolations, coaxing me back.
"That was... notably, unpleasant." I said, wiping tears from my face as he handed me the box of tissues.
"It looked it."
"So... that's what I repress, huh?" I sighed. "Have I ever done that before?"
"Nnnn" he hesitated "nnno. No."
I'm still clearing my head, trying to get a grip on where I actually am.
"How long was I gone for?"
"Not long, five minuets max." He said turning off the light.
"I'm sorry you had to deal with that. Talk about an end to a wonderful moment."
He crawled under the covers and held me.
"It's ok, baby." he cooed into my hair, kissing my forehead.
Once again, I lay nestled in his arms. Safe. Protected. Loved.
We lay together in silence for some time. The cats settling into bed for the night, taking up their spaces by my side and at our feet.
"One of the reasons I never talked about it, is because I was afraid someone would go kill my father. That's pretty messed up, huh?"
"Yea, that's messed up." he said squeezing me "You shouldn't be worried about protecting him. You need to take care of yourself first."
"I know." I sighed "But I still think that way." |

| Archaeological dig starts to redefine how we understand the evolution of human civilisation |

Don't click this link if you're a young Earth creationist (just sayin').
http://www.newsweek.com/id/233844/page/1
German has found temples in Turkey which date to 11 500 years ago. According to the article, that's some 7 000 years before Stonehenge and 6 000 years before the Great Pyramids. Also according to the article, this predates other things like: villages, pottery, domesticated animals, and agriculture. Which, to me, means either that we underestimated human ingenuity (we all tend to, even me), or we somehow were able to build big temple-like structures with stone pillars BEFORE figuring out smaller, more basic things like pottery. I assume it's more the former than latter.
Just for example, who is to say that pottery did come later? Maybe we didn't have kilns and the more fancy aspects to pottery which allow it to withstand environmental factors and be preserved for long stretches of time. Maybe our earliest pottery was just so crappy that it fell apart relatively easily with exposure to sun and rain, and so it makes sense that we can't find the earliest examples. Who is to say that we didn't simply sun-dry pottery for centuries or millenia before someone put one in an oven and the first firing occurred? Maybe it was when we moved further north into colder climates and encountered seasons which are not condusive to allowing something to sit out in the Sun? Maybe they had a bowl break and really needed a new one so they thought to put it near the front of the oven instead.
Sure, I thought up this whole speculation on pottery with my imagination and don't know anything of the known and researched history of pottery. But visiting places like the museum has taught me that often human ingenuity has followed similar cases where it was more a mixture of necessity and serendipity which brought our biggest changes in how we did things.
Maybe it's just because I think of archaeological digs the same way I think about fossils: not everything will preserve well enough to last indefinitely until it's found underground. Only a fraction of what was made will be discovered, and most of what was around will deteriorate before we could ever know it existed. I would think that we have gaps in our archaeological record as we do in our fossil record and for similar reasons. (Too bad you don't have people making an equally ridiculous claim that human civilisation was created in its current form and never evolved to what it is today.) |

Found this in the trash at work. Apparently someone had this up, and someone else had already torn it down. I was pretty tickled by it. It's so detailed in it's instructions! Sorry for cell-phone quality picture.
(It reads: If you need to flush before you finish don't be afraid to press the round button on the back of the toilet (you won't get sucked away). Also...if you wash your lunch container, grab a paper towel and clean the leftover crap from the sink. Please do the same if you brush your hair over the sink. While I'm at it...don't be afraid to use a paper towel and push the trash down every now and then. If you miss the trash don't leave the paper towel on the floor. This is a LADIES room-act like one!! Thank you.
This is from a fellow employee and not Isabelle or the janitorial staff!!!) |
