I don’t know why, but the phrase “Soylent Green” has been running through my head for the past few days. Just pops ito my head for no reason, crashes into my current train of thought, and disappears. Then I’m left wondering “What the hell was that?!”. It’s like a hit and run or something. So I decided to see what I could find about this word Soylent.

• It’s a movie. Don’t know anything about it other than it’s a sci-fi movie about an overcrowded earth where people eat something called Soylent in various colours. Apparently the shocker is what Soylent Green is made from.
• It’s also a drink, no doubt fashioned to resemble something consumed in the movie.
• Soylent Green at Urban Dictionary
• A vegan, health food oriented co-op in Chicago
• A parody song

Well, this is one of the more entertaining alerts I’ve seen 🙂

Had a very delightful birthday evening today.

Escaped from work early, did some much needed grocery shopping, and then headed out for a delicious dinner at Dragon Palace. If you like Chinese food, there are only two places to go in Charleston: Dragon Palace and Red Orchid. Mmmm, oh so good…

Then it was off to Best Buy for some indulgent spending :). Didn’t leave quite as happy as the guy carting home the 50″ Panasonic flat screen TV though. Maybe someday…

Thanks to a heads up from Melissa, commenting is fixed. It was just me forgetting to upload a file when I upgraded MT Blacklist.

Today is my 34th birthday. Not so much different from my 33rd, or 32nd or 31st for that matter.

I think once you turn 30, birthdays stop becoming quite such a big deal for you and start becoming a big deal for the people around you. Friends and family always asking “So how does it feel?”, or “Feel any different?”, or other silly questions like that. And then instead of you heading out with friends to go out and party and get drunk, they’re the ones dragging your tired ass out after work to see how drunk they can get you. If they’re anything like my friends back home, they’ve probably also got pools going on how long it takes to get to the first spew of the night. Or having the bartenter add a few extra shots to your drinks without telling you.

For me, it’ll be just another day, although perhaps I’ll treat myself with a trip out to Best Buy or the bookstore and buy me something.
