In the middle of the pacific ocean there is a giant pool of garbage. I had heard of this patch a couple of years back but never realized that it is just sparse bits of plastic and netting rotating around. Scripps University if looking into this and seeing if there is an easy way to clean it up and research other ways to get rid of it.

I guess the garbage planet of Wall-e is not as far away as that movie made it look.

My 5 year old son last week got some of those red furry handcuffs from the dollar store. Boys like the idea of handcuffs because of the whole police thing and we watch Chips on DVD occasinally as well.

Well he gets home and I ask hime about the handcuffs and he told me that my 8 year old daughter had told him that they are special Valentines Day handcuffs and the way they are supposed to work is this:

On Valentines day you can kiss anyone. If you are worried that they are going to run then you can handcuff them so that they can’t get away. The red furry handcuffs are special handcuffs for this ust for Valentines day.

Well I have not posted in a while but thought that this story was interesting to me and of course is also interesting to you. Why would you car? Well you are at this page which makes me think that you are just killing time and have nothing better to do right now.

This morning I woke up after haveing a great nights sleep and had to go for a bit of a drive. Where did the family fo? Well we went ot see a pappy and start looking at cars.

Well in the end we bought the cute little puppy but will not be able to bring it home for a few weeks. So now we have to find a name for the dog. Derby? Frodo? Yippe-kai-yay-derby? Do good names yet.

After the dog we went and had some fast food lunch and then went to start looking at minivans to replace the not very reliable Aztek. Looking very quickly turned into buying and now we will have a very middle class-soccer momish-boring Gand Caravan Minivan. I will survive but I am one step closer to the Porsche and hooker midlife crisis that I always threaten everyone arouond with.

And the mouse. We got a mouse in our basement and last night I set traps covered in peanut butter, this morning I woke up to find four mouse traps licked clean of peanut butter. Don’t think this is the end, don’t tell the mice but I have now stuck chocolate to the top of more peanut butter. Lets see if I have killed a mouse by dawn.

I just saw on the Inquisitor website this tattoo of the Twitter Fail Whale. Anyone that uses Twitter knows that it goes down once in a while (most days anyway) but Twitter is a great nad fun way to keep up with lots of people using 140 character messages forwarded to all that follow you while you get hte messages from anyone that you follow…in real time.

Well I really like Twitter now but next year maybe not, in 10 years I suspect for sure Twitter will just be a faint memory for me.

This all goes back to this tattoo. Years ago I thought it would be cool to get my hotmail address tattooed to my shoulder. Fortunately for me I tend to take the lazy way out and now I know that I am much to flaky to take the responsibility to get a tattoo.

That is exactly what this guy or girl shoud have thought before laying down the bucks for a new tat.
