    I discovered that I can indeed cut the top off of a bottle with a big knife.
    I've packed my bottle opener and needed some liquid mental health.
    The nice bottle of Star Hill Red Rooster Coffee Cream Stout snapped right off at the neck.
    Never tried to do that particular trick before,I'm glad it worked.

    My husband has mad skills. He can open anything with everything. It's all about the application of leverage.

    1. I never knew how awesome the cast of Freaks and Geeks was.
    2. The new X-Men movie was pretty damn awesome.
    3. Cilantro lime pickles are fucking disgusting. Damn you, Louisiana, you can ruin anything.
    4. Always stand back when pulling down the hatch on a vehicle... said the girl with the bloody goose egg on her forehead...

    You are a danger to yourself. I think you need adult supervision from now on. :p

    BTW...I think I've figured out how to use The Force.
    You don't need "midi-chlorians" (because this is obviously a falsehood...*ahem* excuse me, incorrect theory)

    You simply need to interact and absorb the Neutrinos passing through your body.
    (the fictional character Superman might do this too, however I think he's simply a hyper-telekinetic needing tactile connections,
    with solar absorption emphasizing the yellow portion of the visible wave-length...fairly limited, IMHO)

    Now, since many Neutrinos pass through every square centimeter of your body every second (approximately 65 billion each)
    And that's just solar neutrinos...hitting you directly from our own sun...not including all other types, sources and directions too. (~100 trillion/sec)
    But these I believe will be the most effective...

    You should be able to focus your attention to will a "few" to alter their electrical neutral state, going positive or negative
    ...and absorb them into opposite charged particles within your body.
    The resulting energy accumulation should be able to allow you to have more energy overall.
    Please do NOT overdo this...you may explode...or at least get internal radiation.
    (also please don't focus on one part of your body, or you might get a "hot" foot or other part)

    Now, since moderation is needed...as well as practice...you may want to start focusing on doing this through your daily life.
    Some do it instinctively...but applied and practiced you may gain the same skills seen for example in the fictional drama produced by Mr. Lucas.
    However, results may and will likely vary. (as well as scope)

    Some may just get a nice flowing energy, like you do from coffee...or other stimulants. (again, be careful and practice...experience helps)
    Or you may find you get extra enhancements to your normal abilities...or even extra, unknown until after practice.
    Ex. Jumping, running, martial-arts, etc... (and even increased constitution, healing and recovery and some increased resistance to damage or injury)

    As you gain in experience...you should be able to start doing the absorption while doing normal tasks or even athletic activities.
    With practice, this will occur more easily & naturally, like martial-arts or sport.
    As they say, "It will flow through you"

    Now, go take a nice walk...and start practicing, letting it work. :cool:
    Remember, everything in moderation.

    As a kid I fell in love with the illustrations in Where The Wild Things Are, but not so much the actual story (the writing isn't that good). To this day I still think the illustrations are awesome.

    Last night we watched the WTWTA movie.
    Disappointed.

    I still don't know quite what to think of it. It seemed to be aimed at an age group way above the younger age group that would most likely be interested in seeing the movie. Max seemed rather disturbed and more than a little scary.

    Listening to Bach on a Sunday morning is way better than church.

    If you play your cards right, you can have both. Just depends on the church. More particularly, their music program.

    I was raised a Lutheran, so I know this well :p

    My old church was doing Vivaldi this spring, and I'm sad that I had to miss it. We have a killer music program, complete with a Noack pipe organ.

    Makes all the difference, doesn't it? I married into a family of church musicians, so I know what a difference a good music program can make.
    And Bach is incredible when played on a good organ.

    I saw that movie once or twice at work in the break room and it very quickly passed Avatar on my list of atrocious films that are painful to watch at best.

    Watching Left Behind on Netflix just 'cause. This Pre-Trib rapture fantasy stuff is mildly entertaining, but the films from the 70's with the the period hair and clothes are still "better" in my opinion.

    Left behind is on Netflix? I've been curious for a while.

    After a weekend of taking it easy and enjoying the city, it's time to do a deep clean.
