Is the amount of capsaicin in a food.Capsaicin is the chemical compound that makes things spicy. Now, the reason i bring this up is because Be for the event I am about to describe, I had about 0 capsaicin tolerance. Now I realize my tolerance, albeit not high, is enough that I make food too spicy for many people. so if you want to gain a higher "spicy' tolerance, do this to yourself:
It was your average field trip. I was just going to a band festival for the day. You know. The works. But, the catch is, I have no lunch. un-hun. all i have is five packages of chili powder- you know, the kind you get in ichi ban soups. I think you can guess the rest. five. Two hours. nothing else. At all.

Techno music
Can be made by anyone. So, just today, I was looking at some free Synthesizer software. It's pretty interesting, since, if you think about it, probably most dj's and stuff started out here. Also, i was interested in making a techno song? maybe?
Well, turns out that is all really confusing. But I'll keep trying.

Japan earthquake
I was doin' a bit of looking around about the earthquake, and I fond this quote:
"I was swimming my afternoon laps in the pool on the ground floor of the Izumi Garden Tower (same building as the poster above). My fellow swimmers and I were sloshed around like rubber duckies in a bathtub."
This guy is a champ.

Don't you hate it when
An issue of a magazine comes late? or you're reading a book series and someone has the next book in the series out of the library? Or you forget to save something and the Farhad opens 94 internet explorer windows at the same time on your design studies computer? (okay, maybe that's just me, but...) you know? Yes, you do. But then, I was thinking, maybe I hate to much. maybe I should list stuff I love. Oh well... another time, another post.

"Soon"
Is a frustrating word. you can never tell when it is, and everybody's perception of soon is different. Like, for example, "soon" is when the Legend of Zelda Skyward sword is due out; "soon" is when I get my meal at a restaurant. exactly. Using the same word, you can describe periods that take only seconds to month long waits.
*Sigh*

Cold weather
does not lend itself well to boffo. If you have no idea what that is, imagine a lot of foam coated PVC tube then wrapped in duct tape, swung like a sword. exactly. Anyways, Duct tape, it would seem, does not appreciate the combination of high speed impact and cold weather, because after about a half hour of boffering, it had all disenthralled itself from the foam. the second we where back in the house, however, it re-stuck itself. full of wrinkles. Story of my life.
To Ululate
Is to bark, howl, or wail with great passion. Try saying it, much less actually ululating, without someone looking at you like you just ate a green speckled toad.
Demagogue
