I wish there was some place like Chili’s but with good food.

Chewbacca Actor Peter Mayhew Unloads Stockpile of Star Wars Set Photos

Peter Mayhew, who played Chewbacca in the original Star Wars, took to Twitter Thursday night and unleashed a veritable trove of annotated behind-the-scenes photos from the original trilogy. Some of these shots you’ll no doubt recognize, but many of them were new to us — like this ridiculously adorable photo of 11-year-old Warwick Davis!

Way cool. 8)

I’ve had a crush on Leia since 1977.

Coming Undone by Korn

Keep holding on
When my brain’s tickin’ like a bomb
Guess the black thoughts have come Again to get me
Sweet bitter words
Unlike nothing I have heard
Sing along mocking bird
You don’t affect me

That’s right
Deliverance of my heart
Please strike
Be deliberate

Wait
I’m coming undone
Irate
I’m coming undone
Too late
I’m coming undone
One looks so strong
So delicate
Wait
I’m starting to suffocate
And soon I anticipate
I’m coming undone
One looks so strong
So delicate

Choke choke again
I thought my demons were my friends
Getting me in the end
They’re out to get me
Since I was young
I’ve tasted sorrow on my tongue
And this sweet sugar gun
Does not protect me

That’s right
Trigger between my eyes
Please strike
Make it quick now

Wait
I’m coming undone
Irate
I’m coming undone
Too late
I’m coming undone
One looks so strong
So delicate
Wait
I’m starting to suffocate
And soon I anticipate
I’m coming undone
One looks so strong
So delicate

I’m trying to hold it together
Head is lighter than a feather
Looks like I’m not getting better
Not getting better

Still one of my all time favorites jams.

Sometimes I come home from work and am all gung-ho to do shit. Other days, like today, I got nothing.

Laser Zaps Away Cocaine Addiction In Rats

Aiming laser light at the portion of the brain associated with impulse control could ease cocaine addiction, according to a new study in rats.

“When we turn on a laser light in the prelimbic region of the prefrontal cortex, the compulsive cocaine seeking is gone,” researcher Antonello Bonci says in a press release.

It may sound strange—and many experimental treatments that have worked in mice and rats don’t work in humans—but scientists are working on the critical next step to find whether this could work for people, too.

Interesting.

Half a Life in Solitary: How Colorado Made a Young Man Insane

The story of Sam Mandez is appalling on so many different levels it’s hard to know where to begin. Convicted for a murder no one has ever proven he committed, sentenced to life without parole at the age of 18 because the judge and jury had no other choice, confined for 16 years in solitary for petty offenses in prison, made severely mentally ill by prison policies and practices, left untreated in that condition year after year by state officials, Mandez personifies the self-defeating cruelty of America’s prisons today.

And yet Mandez is not alone in his predicament. All over the nation, in state prisons and federal penitentiaries, officials are failing or refusing to adequately diagnose and treat inmates who are or who are made mentally ill by their confinements. The dire conditions in which these men and women are held, the deliberate indifference with which they are treated, do not meet constitutional standards. And yet there are thousands like Mandez, symbols of one of the most shameful episodes in American legal history.

[…]

The prison system — just another thing that’s fucked up in the good ol’ US of A.

Watch the video in The Film section. It’s heart breaking.

There’s nothing for you to do over there but figure out how you feel about being in that cell all the time.

I hate when my OCD kicks in and I start ironing the collars on my everyday shirts. On the other hand, my collars do look damn nice.
