chupacabra...
well in 7 hours i will be on my way to what will probably be another 13+ hour day of processing gizzard shad and emerald shiners on crane creek in ohio (those two things are fishes for those of you who don't know...and pretty lame species at that).
well it can't be much worse than the time i wasted doing GIS work in the lab today. yeah, i was there until almost 8pm when i realized that the computer and our archaic GIS program was NOT going to let me do what my prof and post-doc manager dropped on me earlier this week...at least nowhere near the deadline we were shooting for. we're using old programs and ENIAC-tech level computers along with our newly acquired 'skills' to work on a model that is bigger than most that have been proposed for river systems in the past. yeah, i think we should have brought in some real 'experts' to work on this since those of us grad students who made the attempts have just gained a better understanding of true frustration and a hatred for the dungeon and technology (especially modeling) in general.
at one point today matt, one of my friends and fellow lab co-workers, said we must be part of "Saw III"...trapped in a dungeon-like room with a computer assignment that cannot be finished and we'd eventually kill ourselves. i think a head through the comp monitor would be cool for one death, maybe slow consumption by cockroaches for the other. yeah, this is what we talk about in the dungeon, if we're lucky enough that another human is present. we also traded our various impersonations of the emperor/senator palpatine from episode III. i'm pretty good at it too.
well today we were watching some talk show with that jimmy kimmel guy; the tonight show got boring after nicolette sheridan was done, so we switched. dane cook was on the kimmel show and was talking about the chupacabra. i have included one of the images that came up on a google search here:
yeah, nothing else to say about that.
you know who is NOT associated with the chupacabra...aishwarya rai. i saw that l'oreal commercial that i think sarah referenced sometime back and so i felt the need to mention the famous bollywood actress once again here. i can't remember what her next movie is, but you can bet i will be there to see it...i would imagine it's better than elizabethtown as well.
speaking of movies, i was wasting some time on the iTunes music store (where i get good ideas of what to download off limewire) and saw the trailer for a new movie called 'Water'. now this isnt the typical type of movie that interests me, but i have gotten a bit more into indian movies over the past couple years, and this one looks good. the main actress, lisa ray (how is that for an indian name) was really good in an earlier movie i saw (Hollywood/Bollywood...or something like that) and this one looks intriguing as well. it's also called 'water' and that's what fishes live in, so i'm thinking there will be some in this film as well...if not i am automatically deducting one star from the rating.
i should eventually get to the story about this past monday's halloween craziness, but i don't know if i have that kind of motivation at this point. maybe later tonight depending on how soon this red bull wears off. it would be nice to cap off the week with an exciting story or two, and you can bet there will be stories next week as damon and i make our road trip to miami florida...i believe our hotel was finalized today and we will be staying right on south beach and also relatively close to the university campus...should be a good time. i'm thinking about buying an iPod, we'll see. that's all for now <:><
ok just to further offset that extremely creepy chupacabra image here is yet another picture of aishwarya rai:

well first of all aishwarya rai is definitely better looking than this other chick....but i'm drawn to her because of the fact that just like us she has a very white name.
you better put up theo's stories stat. i hope u had a good time. thanks for talking to me tonight solo!
ps- i was concentrating on typing this coherently.
Ooooh! For "Saw III: the SNRE dungeon" you could also have someone stuck in a fish tank--being eaten alive by gars. Yeah, I'm not a fish person, so let me know if that makes no sense :)
Sorry modeling sucks!
j.
hello! i'm bored so i'm leaving a comment. oh right! a saw III in the dungeon would be awesome. the test for you could be to die or kill your favorite, prized gar to live. hmm...just beware of the squeaky tricycle...hahahaha :) also, ash is HOT and i can't wait to see her in more movies!!
