My plans for El Weekend

[link]
I'm going to make myself a pretty dress form so I can save money on clothes! w00t! That and so I can hone my sewing skillz. I recently liberated my sewing machine from my closet & I've been feeling the urge to go homegrown.


on top of that, i have just purchased a very pretty uke, and when it comes next wednesday, i plan on mastering it (hard as that may sound...)
soon enough, i'll be famous.

my life may return to interesting yet...

Those silly Norwegians sucking up again...

Really Norwegians?

I'm going to step outside my usual boundaries and take a moment to speak about politics. Mainly to say WTF?!?

Alfred Nobel stated in his will that the peace prize belongs to "the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses"

Some of Obama's predecessors include Rigoberta Menchú Tum, Mother Teresa, Henry Dunant & Martin Luther King Jr..

I understand that Obama being elected to office was a big step for the American people, and a great accomplishment. However, during his current administration, I have seen nothing done that would qualify him among these distinguished people. I am willing to say that maybe, in the following 3+ years, he may prove himself worthy, but I think this award is just a tad bit preemptive.

Obama as "the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations"

Obama "for the abolition or reduction of standing armies"

Obama "for the holding and promotion of peace congresses"

sad, yet true...

master of disguise

I aspire to be like this man one day

zombie need to know (and a little extra)

"An outbreak of zombies infecting humans is likely to be disastrous, unless extremely aggressive tactics are employed against the undead. While aggressive quarantine may eradicate the infection, this is unlikely to happen in practice. A cure would only result in some humans surviving the outbreak, although they will still coexist with zombies. Only sufficiently frequent attacks, with increasing force, will result in eradication, assuming the available resources can be mustered in time" -m.discoverychannel.com

Recipie to Make & Keep A Zombie
○Voodoo Zombie Powder (main active ingredient: tetrodotoxin)
○Undead Paste (Sweet potatoes, cane syrup, & datura)
○Salt Free Foods (human flesh acceptable)

1)Feed powder to unknowing (or masochistic) victim. The main ingredient, tetrodotoxin, is a potent poison that binds to nerve cell membranes and blocks transmissions in anyone who ingests it. The poisoning is often fatal, but in sub-lethal doses it can induce complete paralysis and slow heartbeat and respiration to imperceptible levels, mimicking death so convincingly that the victims may be pronounced dead by medical rescuers, (hopefully) to later awaken.
2)Then force-feed the victim the undead paste. The datura is a genus of plant also known as the “zombie cucumber” and it contains the hallucinogens atropine and scopolamine which induce symptoms that include confusion, delirium, psychosis and amnesia.
3) Maintain your zombies by feeding them a salt-free diet, which helps keeps them listless and lethargic, so they can't mutiny.
