The Compassion Experiment (Day 52)

The Compassion Experiment: It's not a blog, it's a Blitter. Too short for a blog, too long for a Twitter.

Well, looks like I was way off the mark on the write-up yesterday that said they had sealed the gushing oil in the Gulf.
Way off.
http://www.thestar.com/news/world/article/820321--bp-plans-to-capture-20-000-bpd-from-leaking-well?bn=1
Of course, I've been known to be wrong before, so, this isn't really a shocker, is it?
What they are now saying, is that it'll take until August until they can seal it?!
August?!
Are you @#$%ing kidding me? It's the first week of June. Maybe they could be a little more ambitious about this, what do you think?
BP estimated they were leaking 5,000 barrels of oil a day.
Ooops! Wrong again. More like 19,000 barrels!!!
Good god man, this thing is such a disaster, it's unbelievable. (ed.note: understatement of the day).
BP claim they are able to mop up 20,000 barrels a day, and the day that happens, will be the same day I put on a Tommy Hil@#$ger shirt.

B says: One thing I heard on the radio this morning that you could add to the blog, especially if you could find the direct quote, was Obama being interviewed about the BP spill and he said "I'm watching this very closely so I know who's ass to kick". Big words for a man of inaction. Jerkoff.

As promised:
Mock-Chicken Crock Pot Curry

(Best served over Basmati rice, with garlic naan bread).

This recipe is easy.
Cut up four potatoes
One large onion.
Four carrots.
Use 5-6 tbsp of Patak's Curry Paste (or any curry paste of your choosing).
1 pack of Shefu Tofu Lightly Seasoned Tofu Bites (cut them into bite size).
1 cup of vegetable broth
1 cup of soy milk.

Toss everything into the crock pot, stir it up, and put on high for 4 hours, stirring occasionally, so it doesn't stick.
When the end is nigh, cook the rice and garlic naan.
You'll thank me later.

Animals saved today: 4
Animals saved to date: 155

Note: we realize these numbers are not a true representation, but in our minds, this helps to visualize the damage we are causing when we eat animal by-products.

Ladybird Animal Sanctuary

A couple weeks ago, we had in our living room, three big hearted individuals, Melissa McClelland , Janine Stoll and Lisa Winn , from Ladybird Animal Sanctuary . The following is the transcription of the interview. You can find the video version up above. How did it all start? “I’m an animal lover, and a full-time touring musician," said McClellan. "And I think I just wanted part of my life to focus on my love for animals, because so much of my life is wrapped up being on the road. So I brought it up with these girls, and we all thought it was a great idea, so we’ve been talking about it for a few years now.” “I had already been doing it small scale," said Winn, "because I’ve worked at animal shelters, and had already been rescuing and fostering for a number of years.” “I felt like the three of us come from different backgrounds, and we work so nicely together," said McClelland. "Our personalities, we just click as friend. And Lisa has the background w

Best Metal'ish albums of 2022

We use the term Metal’ish because some of our favorite albums could be considered metal adjacent, not metal necessarily, but awesome none-the-less and worthy of this list. We are always on the hunt for the next awesome metal album and this year there was no shortage of great stuff, in fact, this list could have been a lot longer. Finding all these albums on our own would be near impossible. What we do is wait until all the YouTube metal nerds put out their metal lists and we watch them - 20 or so videos so far -  and any albums we haven’t heard yet, we check them out. Basically we let them find all the good albums that we missed and then check them out and see what we think. The criteria for this list is easy: is it a kick ass album? Yes or no? If no, then it’s probably power metal. If yes, we listen to it until we get sick of it. Anyways, here is the list of top metal’ish albums of 2022. We are reversing a trend and instead of making you wait to see what is #1, we will just start ther

Top 10 Reasons I’m Not Surprised I Don’t Have a Girlfriend.

I must have picked the right font, because it looks like Gop 10 ! Ok, it's no surprise that I'm procrastinating writing my newest project, though I did write a short story for the Toronto Star Short Story contest, which means I still haven't given up my dream of becoming a successful author. Lucky for me, being a successful author means: completing a project I start. Also, it should't come as a surprise that I'm single, so I've compiled a Top 10 list of the reasons for this. Top 10 Reasons I’m Not Surprised I Don’t Have a Girlfriend. #10 - I trim my toenails with my teeth. #9 - When I pulled my laundry out of the dryer, I didn’t find any underwear, that’s when I realized I was still wearing the pair I washed last week. #8 - I’m broke and broken. #7 - I run like a girl and sit down to pee. #6 - I cut my own hair. #5 - I cry when I watch ‘The Notebook’. #4 - I’ll eat anything that’s free. #3 - I’ll drink anything that’s free. #2 - The minute I realize I’
