how the hell did that miss us?

i don’t watch much tv. i don’t think less of it, it’s just not part of my routine, as it were. so please don’t judge me when i say that i had a hard time believing this show was real.

there was a girlfriend i had in high school. we’ll call her GIRL.

girl and i dated on and off for about a year and a half. opinions changed, hairstyles differed, wtc happened; but the one thing that planted itself as a constant (at an age where your life goals change with the moon cycles) was that watching Jurrasic Park was the indicator that we wanted to make out.

i’m not sure what was the catalyst, if Jurrasic Park caused the effect of making out or vice versa, but it soon went hand in hand. if girl put the movie on, i knew she was in the mood. if i suggested putting the movie on, she was ready to recieve some make out.

how fucked up is that?! it’s a film about science causing irrepricalble damage to the lives of many people and it stands as a warning that science can easily go too far. yet, we got frisky because of it.

whatever. congratulations steven. you made Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Minority Report, and Jaws. anything other than that was a bonus.

as any reader can gather, i have not been blogging as of late (read: for a month or two). the reasons amount to many things, the first and foremost being that i am a busy busy bee. though with march 31st fast approaching i have hung up a few spurs and given myself free time to spend with certain people, including my cat chuck. but, i digress.

among one of my time-suckers is a show that i’m happily contibuting my likeness to entitled Ka-Baam!! it’s an improvised comic book that’s being performed at the BLB every thursday in january at 7:00pm, with a special late show on feb 5th, at 10:00pm. learn more here, buy tickets here, then watch a video heavily featuiring my giggling puss below.

in an unrelated note, i will now explain the science behind Non-Newtonian Fluids.

chances are that many of you have had fun with a Non-Newtonian fluid in your lifetime, however you may not have known it at the time. probably because you were too busy being 5 and enjoying this weird, white fluidy-chalk that your parent/guardian/babysitter/captor whipped up for you to play with. that’s right; cornstarch and water create a Non-Newtonian fluid (often called oobleck)

in scientific terms the shear stress and strain rate in any Newtonian liquid/fluid is linear, meaning the volume and viscosity are perportionate; they opperate in synch with each other. however, with a Non-Newtonian fluid, the shear stress and strain rate operate independently of one another. there can be many factors that determine how they react: time, force, temperature, etc.

amazing.

butch roy: I hate being shocked more than most things.
troy: i hate button mushrooms. it feels like your biting into little, wet, baby toes.
butch roy: mmm… baby toes.
troy: that’s gross. imagine actually eating a child’s toes.
butch roy: I am. I mean, I’m eating them. Right now. With mushrooms.
troy: question – how are you keeping the child from crawling off the table?
butch roy: threats of worse. and nails. not threats of nails.
troy: i gathered
