Nauru Awareness Day! Nauru is a tiny island all alone in the middle of the Pacific. Today let them know they're not completely forgotten by sending the President a friendly postcard at Office of the President, c/o Ministry of Works, Yaren, Nauru.
Dear Mr. President,
Greetings to you in Nauru from the United States! I am writing to you to pass on the information that I am aware of your existence, and today I am celebrating that awareness. I look forward to celebrating your 41st Independence Day on January 31. I plan taking the day off work.
Sincerely,
Jami

Day Twenty-Nine
Dial a phone number at random and read this script with a deep South accent
The passage starts, "You now, without Christ, without Jesus, we have no hope." And it goes on and on, and talks about the Bible, and it is much too long to transcribe here, and I didn't even read the entire thing, so...
I find it offensive and did not participate.

Day Five
Mass social experiment. Cut out and stick this sign:
on any item of public infrastructure you might encounter today, including but not limited to: elevators, garbage trucks, cranes, phone booths, toilets, ventilation units, escalators, entrances to subway stations. The aim is to achieve comprehensive social breakdown across the US.
I placed this sign on three different places:
1) My computer at work...NO MORE WORKING!!! (a-ha-ha!)
2) Blue...a fellow employee at work...NO MORE WORKING FOR BLUE!!!
and finally, 3) the toilet in the women's bathroom...NO MORE WOMEN IN THERE!
Social breakdown...look out...

This Blog Will Change Your Life
A few years ago I had something traumatic happen to me and a friend gave me this book.
I tried to go through this book at the time, but ended up failing.
I recently stumbled upon this book again while going through boxes from my past that were lost in storage.
I have decided to try again.
Boasting to be "part instruction manual, part therapy, part cult, part sheer anarchy" this book offers 365 days worth of instructions for hysterical living. It just so happens my life can use a little hysteria. What will follow starting today, Friday November 7, 2008, will be a record of my daily attempts to base my life on this book. We'll see what happens...
***
In preparation to begin my journey, there are a few things to mention:
-in the front cover of this book, there is a note. it reads: "Jami- Here's to the first day of your second life. See you in Paris. I love you."
-I am so excited!

behold THE LIST!
* I’m 24 years old and my birthday is on December 19th.
* I share the same birthday as Alyssa Milano, Jennifer Beals, and Jake Gyllenhaal.
* I can get pretty bitter over how my birthday gets lost in the holiday season.
* I’m the youngest child with a older sister and an older brother.
* Being the youngest has warped my persona. I’m extremely spoiled and I always get what I want!
* I love to create art. Sadly I haven’t figured out how to that passion it properly to make money.
* My dream job would be to be the owner of a dessert shop. I’d spend my downtime sampling the inventory and painting.
* I still haven’t decided what I want to do with my life.
* At one point I wanted to be an teacher. One semester of student teaching and observing the third grade made me realize I would never survive in an enviroment made to stifle kid’s imaginations.
* During my younger, “I Like school” days, I wanted to do something with math. I interned with an accountant for a few months after school. I realized I could never do that!
* If I could live in any time period, I would travel back to the late ’50s, early ’60s and live a Beatnik, Tiki-cultured existence.
* I’ve gone by many nicknames in my life: James, Jame, J, Shoe-ie, Piglet, AJ (just to name a few).
* In order to set myself apart from the crowd, I intentionally go against "the grain".
* For some reason people have a hard time with my name. After they see it, they seem to want to insist I wrote/said it wrong. They continue the conversation calling me Jammie (as in pajamas).
* I have an unhealthy obsession with baseball.
* I have an even more unhealthy obsession with baseball players.
* Even though on the most basic terms, I am a Christian I find that I have no where near the same principles as other people that use the same label. That fact scares me. I really don’t know what book these people are reading sometimes.
* My Music taste is pretty ecletic. I’ve asked my friends to describe what I listen to and they classify it as, “Wacky Crap”. Take from that what you will.
* This List is only a brief smattering of facts, and I’m actually happy that I can’t break down every aspect of my life into bullet points!

"Darth Vader" spared jail in Jedi church attacks
In a recent story from MSNBC, a man calling him self "Darth Vader" attacks a "church" of Jedis.
Here are a few of my favorite lines from the story:
"A man who dressed up as Darth Vader, wearing a garbage bag for a cape, and assaulted the founders of a group calling itself the Jedi church."
"He also whacked Jones' 18-year-old cousin, Michael Jones — known as Master Mormi Hehol — bruising his thigh in the March 25 incident, prosecutors said."
"Unfortunately for Hughes, his March attack was recorded on a video camera that the cousins had set up to film themselves in a light saber battle."
"Hughes claimed he couldn't remember the incident, having drunk the better part of a 2 1/2-gallon box of wine beforehand."
Read the full story here.

time warp
Oh man!!! Cesa and I are STILL laughing.....HAHAHAHA!
"
Last weekend I stumbled upon something AMAZING!
What we found was this:
A JC Penney catalog from 1977. It's not often blog fodder just falls in my lap, but holy hell this was two solid inches of it, right there for the taking. I thumbed through it quickly and found my next dining room set, which is apparently made by adding upholstery to old barrels:
Also, I am totally getting this for my bathroom:
There's plenty more home furnishings where those came from, however I'm not going to bore you with that. Instead, I'm going to bore you with something else. The clothes.
The clothes are fantastic.
Here's how to get made fun of in elementary school:
Just look at that belt. It's like a boob-job for your pants. He probably needed help just to lift it into place. The belt loops have to be three inches long. And way to pull them up to your armpits, grandpa.
Here's how to get made fun of in high school:
This kid looks like he's pretending to be David Soul, who is pretending to be a cop who is pretending to be a pimp that everyone knows is really an undercover cop. Who is pretending to be 15.
Here's how to get made fun of on the golf course:
This "all purpose jumpsuit" is, according to the description, equally appropriate for playing golf or simply relaxing around the house. Personally, I can't see wearing this unless you happen to be relaxing around your cell in D-block. Even then, the only reason you should put this thing on is because the warden made you.
Here's how to get made fun of pretty much anywhere:
If you look at that picture quickly, it looks like Mr. Bob "No-pants" Saget has his hand in the other guy's pocket. In this case, he doesn't, although you can tell just by looking at them that it's happened - or if it hasn't happened it will. Oh yes. It will. As soon as he puts down his matching coffee cup.
Here's how to get made fun of at the beach:
He looks like he's reaching for a gun, but you know it's probably just a bottle of suntan lotion in a holster.
How to get made fun of in a meeting:
If you wear this suit and don't sell used cars for a living, I believe you can be fined and face serious repercussions, up to and including termination. Or imprisonment, in which case you'd be forced to wear that orange jumpsuit.
How to get made fun of on every day up to and including St. Patrick's Day:
Dear God, I don't believe that color exists in nature. There is NO excuse for wearing either of these ensembles unless you're working as a body guard for the Lucky Charms leprechaun.
In this next one, Your Search For VALUE Ends at Penneys.
As does your search for chest hair.
And this -- Seriously. No words.
Oh wait, it turns out that there are words after all. Those words are What. The. %&*#!! I'm guessing the snap front gives you quick access to the chest hair. The little tie must be the pull tab.
Also, judging by the sheer amount of matching his/hers outfits, I'm guessing that in 1977 it was considered pretty stylish for couples to dress alike. These couples look happy, don't they?
I am especially fond of this one, which I have entitled "Cowboy Chachi Loves You Best."
And nothing showcases your everlasting love more than the commitment of matching bathing suits.
Then, after the lovin', you can relax in your one-piece matching terry cloth jumpsuits:
I could go on, but I'm tired, and my eyes hurt from this trip back in time. I think it's the colors. That said, I will leave you with these tasteful little numbers:
Man, that's sexy.

"Wanna complain about the weather?" he asked. "Take a look at this from Baghdad."

jami in lego-land
oh yes.
i really wanted an eye patch.....but then i thought "who would really buy a cake from a pirate baker?" so i decided to let that one go.
oh my goodness!!!
this is my next purchase:
"Put yourself in the frame for some great gum with our new gumball picture frame.
The picture frame bubblegum dispenser features an image of an antique gumball machine on the front of a silver colored frame. The background is a mirror effect which adds a third dimension to the "picture". Trapped between the layers is a space to fill with your favorite bubble gum balls!
Once mounted on a wall, it's easy and fun to use and dispenses gum balls with one turn of the knob!
Hang this frame in your home or office, and you'll be particularly popular letting friends or colleagues have a go."

holy holy crap! :)
