If I could talk to the animals
Friday, October 2, 2009 at 22:03 Cats express themselves in many ways. Some may even talk.
These poor kitties got into their owner's tanted bodybuilding suppliments.

Let's make an app out of logging my s#*tty battery time.
Monday, September 21, 2009 at 12:55 
Apple's support team has started contacting some customers who reported their battery problem to AppleCare, according to the enthusiast site and Apple's own forums. AppleCare is apparently asking customers to enable battery-life logging on the iPhone and then sync the logs to a computer. AppleCare is then asking customers to send in the logs, so it can try to figure out what's causing the issue.

Can't Wait to See Jonathan Demme's Second Neil Young Film
Tuesday, September 15, 2009 at 10:50 "Neil Young Truck Show" video clip"
Director Jonathan Demme was on hand at SXSW for the world premiere of his concert film, Neil Young Trunk Show. The film is an intimate look at Neil Young’s stage show, recorded in a small theater in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, on mostly hand-held cameras. “We did a home movie in a way,” said Demme to a Saturday afternoon crowd in Austin’s Paramount Theatre. “We did it all ourselves.”
The Oscar-award winning director (Silence Of The Lambs, Philadelphia) said the film was a “reaction” to his 2006 Neil Young concert doc Heart Of Gold. Whereas Heart Of Gold was a meticulous tangle of editing and forethought, Trunk Show was filmed on a whim, aiming to find truth and heart with a more spontaneous approach. Says Demme, “We didn’t plan anything. This was the easiest film in the world to make.” Over a dozen Young tracks were shot in high-definition and a few were given a more expressionist, grainy feel. A warts-and-all approach catches all the ephemera Young spread across the stage for this tour (telephones, a tiny guitar shop, a pirate flag), as well as the heating pipes, stage lights, wires, cameramen and industrial fans helping power the Tower Theatre gig. A look backstage even catches a doctor looking at one of Young’s troublesome fingernails.
The SXSW audience at the premiere applauded the film’s songs — especially the classic “Cinnamon Girl” and a 20-minute version of 2007’s “No Hidden Path.” When an audience member asked Demme what he envisions for a possible third movie in a Neil Young trilogy, he responded. “It’s gonna be outdoors… I could be so lucky.” link

Tulips and Triceps

Dutch IFBB Pro figure competitor Mascha Tieken, slipped away from Atlantic City to stop by the Shemuscle Gym for a photoshoot with me.
After the contest on Saturday, she will be visiting Los Angeles and then finishing up her trip at the Olympia in Las Vegas. It’s refreshing to see a figure competitor that is unapologetic about her muscle and vascularity.
The veins criss-crossing her stomach were insane. Between you and me, she would make a great bodybuilder too.

Maybe not a Gouda idea, but probably not Feta
Tuesday, September 8, 2009 at 17:20 As surprised as Borat was when every package in the dairy aisle was "cheese."
I was very surprised, visiting the Amsterdam festival in the city this weekend, athow much cheese the rest of the world eats. The Europeans are supposed to be so much healthier than we are, but they sure take the cheese in eating their dairy.
(the average Greek bodybuilder eats 60 pounds a year)
Windmills and cheese make the world go round
cheese, cheese, cheese..
Giant wheels of cheese.
Big as truck tires, and can roll right into your kitchen.
Maybe they know something we do not.
Maybe today I start my "only cheese" diet and see what happens.
Get ready world.
SUPERSIZE ME!!
I hope I still fit in my windmill.

Strong woman, stronger glass
Tuesday, September 8, 2009 at 16:12 Gloria Cannitme, shown here in this 1952 file footage, was one of the last in a dying breed of glass holders at the Acme bulletproof glass factory in Detroit.
Giddy with excitement at the first sucessful testing, Gloria later went on to pursue a short but lucrative career in the new fire extiguisher lab in Tulsa where she also became a female wrestler.

SSSSSSSSSS (ten-s)
Wednesday, September 2, 2009 at 22:01 The US Open returned again to Flushing Meadows in Queens with all the usual fanfare. Mayor Bloomberg, The O'Jays, tennis stars of the past, and the usual contingent of drunken preppies made themselves known on this gorgeous last day of August.
This location is special. It embraces the remaining artifacts from the 1969 World's Fair, the Manhattan skyline, the brand new Citi Field baseball stadium, endless outdoor elevated subway trains, and a fiery sunset.
It was a great night for the opening ceremonies.
I took my seat in the stands for the Venus Williams match next to a group of twenty-somethings who I don't even think knew they were at the event. Drinking as fast as they could, I knew it was just a matter of time before this party would be over, or all over me. Just as I predicted, in the next instant I could hear a waterfall of beer headed my way. Luckily, using my cat-like reactions, I popped up, grabbed my things and jumped down a few rows narrowly missing a early evening shower of suds.
With this near miss behind me, literally, the rest of the evening was a delight. I watched Venus come back from an injury and using her tremendous raw power and skills battle back and win her match in a way only she can. In her interview at center court after the win she was asked how she managed such a comeback. Venus simply said "I'm tough, real tough." I like that. A woman who is a smart strong fighter and not afraid to tell the world. I hope she goes all the way.

SCARED STRAIGHT
Tuesday, September 1, 2009 at 18:12 I've always had lots of hair. Long, big, sometimes crazy hair. And I've always played with it.
Wear it up, wear it down, braid it, and even cut it myself. (more than a few times)
But I've never changed its molecular structure...until now.
I dreamed that my hair would be more manageable and dry faster if it was straightened.
The mixture I used was made with formaldehyde.
Normally used in embalming fluid, equally good on your head.
I have to leave it in for 4 days.
It did straighten my hair, real straight...it can now poke your eye out.
I can't wear a hat or it may bend my hair permanently.
I won't go outside, it has an odor and feels weird. I am also scared that someone will call me formaldehead. Nobody else has seen it yet except my kitties.
I can't wait till tomorrow so I can finally wash it.
Was it a good idea?....we'll have to see.
Bad Lori Braun hair jokes:
"My hair is so straight I have to register it as a lethal weapon."
"My hair is so staight I am not allowed in Chelsea."
