1. A college aged male who is about half a drink a day away from being an alcoholic. 2. Someone who would rather drink on a Wednesday afternoon than a Friday night and doesn't know when to stop, at which point he transforms from Shiskabob to Shitskabob.
Man, the Shiskabob better ease up on that scotch or we'll be meeting Shitskabob shortly.
These bad boys were tasty. I have to give credit to the marinade that Liz made for them. Somewhere in the realm of teriyaki with a side of mexican. Or wachaaa, olay!
What do you think we are making here?
Dats right, home made spaghetti sauce. Turned out pretty good too. Just add a small can of tomato paste and you're good to go. Was quite tasty!
I finished my book about Brain plasticity. I'll be sending that off soon to you know who! A couple of cool items from the latter half of the book.
1. A woman who had a rare genetic disorder that made her retinal cells die off. Middle of her life and suddenly she is blind. The thing is, she loved to read. Well now she has a special machine that reads to her at a speed so fast, people like you and me can't understand it. But since her visual cortex is now processing auditory information she can hear at , I think it was 450 words a min?!!!
She literally finds authors and reads ALL their books in few days.
2. The sea gypsies are a people who live most of their lives in the ocean. You can read about them here. The amazing thing they can do is adjust their vision underwater to see better. They can control the shape of their lenses in their eyes and constrict their pupils to a high degree.
They live their life on the ocean and are in tune with it. When the Dec 2004 tsunami came, they saw it before anyone else as a very small wave that was out of place and went out to sea or inland and survived. And finally, some of their tribes can free dive to 75 feet as they have learned to slow their heart rate.
Which kinda brings me to one of my next posts which will be about a heart rate monitor that I bought recently. It's biofeedback fun!
