Counter-Surveilance Photographs

Monday, September 28th, 2009

Here, as promised, are the Counter-Surveillance photos of the dudes at the Dominion Gas shed taken from my excellent vantage point.

They have since departed. Possibly because they knew I was onto them and their shady dealings, possibly because they were disconcerted that a weird guy was taking photos from his apartment while they were just doing their job, probably because they were done guarding whatever they were guarding.

Attempts to get a wiretap warrant have failed, mostly because I am not an officer of the law.

Bloody Mary, for Reference

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

Here’s a simple reference recipe for the Bloody Mary, to jog your memory:

Bloody Mary

Here’s the classic Bloody Mary recipe. Enjoy!

1 1/2 ounces (1 jigger) vodka
1/2 cup tomato juice
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Worcestershire sauce to taste
Tabasco to taste
1 celery stick for garnish
1 lemon wedge for garnish

Combine the vodka, the tomato juice, the lemon juice, the Worcestershire sauce, the Tabasco, 1 cup ice cubes, and salt and pepper to taste, shake the mixture well, and strain it into a tall glass filled with ice cubes. Garnish the Bloody Mary with the celery stick and the lemon wedge.

(via DrinksMix.net).

So yeah, something kinda like that, but with that extra, Chunky kick. Or maybe not at all like that. Definitely Chunky though.

Episode 10: No Pomo

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

In which we:
-Consult with a literary expert
-Develop our charitable endeavors
-Get horribly lost within the tangle that is post-modernism

Show notes:

I am still pretty sure Chuck was off about Simone de Beauvoir’s ideas being particularly Foucaultian, as she was so solidly an Existentialist philosopher and more of a contemporary of Sartre than Foucault. Either way, I say you should read The Second Sex. It’s a foundational feminist text, an important piece of Existentialist philosophy, and even contains well thought out Hegelian ideas (and we do so love the Hegel).

If you want to disregard the tone of my recommendation and actually read some Helene Cixous, then I say you should just start in the deep end right with famous essay “The Laugh of the Medusa”. Good luck with that.

I mentioned Anti-Humanite, but my nerd-fu is weak, for I was in fact speaking of Ultra-Humanite (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-Humanite). He has been an intelligent gorilla, but as is the case with 70 year old comic book characters, his story is far more weird and incomprehensible than that.
