For that “I’m going insane” Feeling

Once upon a time, a friend of mine made some home-made “Absinthe.” It was really really … really really gross. REALLY! The one time that I actually tried to drink it, I mixed it about one part “absinthe” to one hundred parts Mountain Dew.

(Because all I drink is Mountain Dew and coffee, and I assumed that mixing it with coffee would be bad.)

And that drop in the bottom of my 64oz cup of Mountain Dew was enough to make the total mixture utterly disgusting. Not impossible to drink, because, well… it was only marginally worse than drinking Scope (mouthwash.)

So when I see something like these Absinthe flavored lollypops, I don’t understand why someone would want to do that to themselves. Especially when it makes you go crazy.

Facebook and Applications

Over the last week, I started playing with a new app on Facebook.  It basically allows me to build out my own family tree using Facebook members or just whatever data I supply.  This particular app is rather brok3n.  But it was the vector by which I have doubled the amount I know about my father’s family.

This is very strange and cool and, because I am me, rather frightening.

I have second cousins once removed and other nifty neat family peoples!  I wonder where everyone is?  Are they clustered together in a small area or spread out across the world?

And I wonder if any of them are worth wasting time on?  ‘Cuz that would just be rad!

Gryphon’s Claw Warrior mugs

Apparently, this steel and spike mug is made by some friends of my niece.

Gryphon’s Claw Warrior mugs

For some strange reason this reminds me of the strange things that elegiac would make.  Which makes me wonder how my brother and my niece would do if they ever hung out.
