the aristocrats
so has anyone ever heard of the aristocrats joke??? i'm still trying to figure it all out, but apparently there's some joke that's been around since vaudeville and is supposedly the most raunchy, vile, crude, and vulgar joke there is. and everyone who tells is puts their own spin on it. anyways, there's a movie coming out about it, written by penn jillette (of penn and teller fame) starring about 100 comedians. and south park even told a version, though i doubt it ever aired. anyways, check out the website for the movie if you're curious: http://www.thearistocrats.com/ (and it's screening in la, so i may go see it on friday, if i'm feeling brave)
oh, and i'm coming up to san luis this weekend, so is anyone gonna be around and maybe want to get together on sunday or really late saturday night? (i have a bachelorette thingy on saturday). let me know what's going on.....
randomness
something else for me to consider if this whole "chemistry" thing doesn't work out:

and for you history buffs out there, an explanation of my blog name: i saw this quote written on a parking structure wall in walnut creek, and it was attributed to thomas jefferson...
"the electric penguins of destiny feed my screaming priest"
too long for a band name, but just right for a blog name. yet somehow, i don't think jefferson ever said that......hmmmmmmmmmmmm
do you think that some kids somewhere think "gee. i want to be a bureaucrat when i grow up??" cause there's so much bureaucratic crap going around in this world. and so far at least once a day i encounter someone at ucla who appears to be so happy with what they do and the bureaucratic madness they're enveloped in. it really boggles the mind. (whatever that means) (and do i get points for using the word "bureaucrat" so many times in one post??)
they're magically delicious
ahhhhh someone's got the right idea. screw grad school...i'm gonna start spending my time coming up with asinine ebay auctions:

ucla, or the land of delusion
it's official. i now live in la. ahhhhhhh!!! okay, okay, so it's really not that bad. for one, i live in very northern la, so it's easy to escape out of the area. that and i'm living 5 minutes from beverly hills and bel air. so maybe i'm not getting the full "la experience" (whatever that may be). but i'm not complaining...
one thing i've noticed in the past few days, is that apparently yellow hair isn't considered "normal". that's news to me. maybe i'm just used to having my hair resemble a highligher. or maybe i just don't think that yellow hair should really stand out that much in la, all things considered. i mean, i went down to hollywood the other night, and there were people dressed up like batman, darth vader, and even michael jackson milling about. but i kept getting stares and comments about my *hair*. i'm actually a little shocked. either neon yellow is a brand new shade of hair for la-folks (in which case, look for it to be the latest fad), or i had a massively huge booger hanging out of my nose while i was walking down the street that caused people to gape at me.
well, i'm sure that there will be plenty of things for me to comment on while i'm living in lala land. (oooh my new favorite that a friend told me: LA is only two letters away from LAME). take care of san luis for me. make sure creepy photo guy stays creepy, make sure that there's all kinds of drama going on at b&n that no one really cares about, and most of all, make sure all those lame ass fishes don't take over the world. = )
