    Any of you who’ve been paying attention know that nico and I have a pair of room mates that are surprisingly different from us. Sometimes surprisingly so…. Diane is a yoga instructor and routinely gets newsletters and mailings from the yoga centres she works with. I retrieved the snail mail from the box this morning [...]

    Pay attention to us poor girls!

    by  • 11/27/2003 • angst • 0 Comments

    Okay, it’s getting stupid when you can’t even state a preference for one thing over another without being pecked to death by everyone who disagrees or finds your opinion not good enoug for public consumption. See, Steve Gillmour made the mistake of listing a handful of geek ‘blogs’ that he reads religiously. I can only [...]

    I didn’t track this back too far to find out who authored it, but I found it thanks to LJ user jul3z. For those of you planning on seeing the third LOTR movie at the theater here are some survival tips. 1. Stand up halfway through the movie and yell loudly, “Wait… where the hell [...]

    More steel….

    I’m feeling a bit bored… That’s how I’ve ended up with pierced flesh every time in the past. So, I’m doing a bit of investigation with some non-facial, non-genital piercings. I suppose I could work with some of the lip or cheek piercings I’ve run across, but they’re pretty boring in my books. Poking around [...]

    dean for (spamming) america

    by  • 11/18/2003 • life • 0 Comments

    Okay, if I were American considering who I’d pick for my candidate in next year’s presidential race, I’d be considering NOT voting for Howard Dean. This is the guy who goes on and on about the grassroots and how the internet is doing his work for him. They have every appearance as a campaign of [...]

    Blood sacrifice

    by  • 11/17/2003 • life • 1 Comment

    There’s something about all the tools I use that makes me fear them. They’ve all been drawing blood from yours truly lately, and I’m starting to get a touch worried. It’s one thing when I open a vein with a knife or a saw; that’s not entirely surprising, as these are sharp objects. Not paying [...]

    Thought experiments

    by  • 11/15/2003 • life • 0 Comments

    A very nice piece of writing that tries to explain things in a “shoe on the other foot” format. Sure, it is fantasy, but what would the Occupied America’s citizens do? Would they react any differently than any other nation’s people would? I doubt it. Suppose that some time in late 2000, Russian and Chinese [...]

    Winky on ICQ

    by  • 11/13/2003 • life • 1 Comment

    I don’t respond to random ICQ messages, so don’t bother unless you sound like someone I should know. So if you’re messaging 116381, make sure to mention my superfluous nipple or that birthmark shaped like Jesus so that I understand you’re not a random newbie trying to chat me up. Maybe I need a Chinese [...]
