The average cost to keep a person in prison in California is $48000 per year. The average income is $30000 to $40000. A jail cell and jail food cost more than the average person makes in California. Terrible. |

I think I would enjoy being a machinist. I like building things. I like carpentry and handyman projects. There is something very satisfying about it. I enjoy the details of it, the mental engagement of creation, seeing a piece of imagination take form... |

When I drive through a parking lot, the cars sound like they are whispering. |

George Clinton and the P. Funk was awesome. They played for over three hours, really high energy, great costumes, wide mix of people in the audience. There were about 20 people on stage at any given time. People would just rotate in and out, nearly nonstop, taking breaks to smoke a joint, etc. George's eyes were bright red and he beamed the whole time. A very happy man. The music was fantastic though, nearly blew my ears out, all the musicians were very good. There were lots of improvised solos, guest singers, crowd participation. I'm glad I got to see it. |

You're not paranoid about being paranoid if you really are paranoid.
Or is it the other way around? |

"I'll bring you back an Ankh"
"A what?"
"An Ankh"
"Huh?"
(I draw a picture)
"Oh great, isn't that a symbol for death?"

Whew! I thought I had just broken a $40,000 piece of equipment. It is a super powerful vibrator that can bend steel with its vibration levels. I have a software program that controls it, but it has a really dangerous control that responds to the movement of the mouse. Basically, if you accidentally move the mouse in the wrong spot, it ramps up the vibrations to full output! It scares the fuck out of me. I have it bolted down with a steel beam, but if the bolts break, that thing would fly like a missile across the room. I get scared when I turn it on. I had my notebook on the laptop, which accidentally moved the cursor with the touchpad to nearly full power. It made a horrible thundering sound and you could see the steel anchor bending and twisting. I shut off all the power as quickly as I could, but it refused to work after that. Our project depends entirely on this machine being able to work, and we are finishing in the next two weeks, much too soon to get anything repaired. I took everything apart and luckily found a 12A fuse that had been blown in one of the cables, which I was able to replace. Whew! |

My co-worker caught me reading Egyptian Mythology instead of doing lab experiments. He's a sneaky SOB, don't hear him coming. |

I just realized that the symbol for Spirit looks like a pizza. It all makes sense now. |
