What did you do for fun when you were a kid? How is it different from what you see kids doing now? Submitted by jaklumen. - Jump in the pool and swim with my friends as much as possible between May and early September, even when my lips turned blue. - Listen to hear the song "Pop Goes The Weasel,"...
It is very hot here. Eerily summer-like, you might say, for a place where summer is supposed to be characterized by unbroken fog. It's hot enough that the Pacific Ocean is beginning to look inviting, and this is surely a sign of incipient sunstroke. To prevent lasting damage, I have been cowering...
Last week I upgraded Firefox to 3.01 RC. Greasemonkey promptly up and died, and I wanted to cry, because I use several scripts to make browsing, commenting on photos and posting photos from Flickr a lot easier, and quicker (photo posting). So I searched around, and found this new release. And it...
I stood in a crowd of bubble wrap. Little pockets of people, of friends and lovers and families, dispersed and immersed in their own transparent little worlds. I stood in my own little bubble, with my own people who mattered, and watched the stage where Vanessa Carlton sang middle school memories....
Loooooooooove: I get to take the thesis to the bookbinders and give it in! After 9 months of work I get to give in something that has been approved by the Heavyweighters Of Academia, and I can tell people that I have actually written a thesis. I've written a goddamn book! I'm so happy that all the...
I saw yet another unicorn here in Winnipeg yesterday while on my way to the Cinematheque to watch a documentary called Monster Party. Great film about LARPers in Seattle. But as you can see I didn't need to get all hopped up on shrooms like Neil Patrick Doogie Howswer did in Harold and Kumar two. I...
SELF PORTRAIT THURSDAY! 5.22.08 Spinning yarn on the studio's new spinning wheel. (The shirt I'm wearing is a shirt I bought from Loyalty and Blood on Sunday morning at the Brooklyn Flea Market. It's a cool shirt full of crazy/"evil" drawings like upside down crosses and anarchy signs and finger...
I Because I do not hope to turn again Because I do not hope Because I do not hope to turn Desiring this man's gift and that man's scope I no longer strive to strive towards such things (Why should the aged eagle stretch its wings?) Why should I mourn The vanished power of the usual reign? Because I...
Colonel William Francis Thurston "Crazy Eye" Auten-Smith III and Sleazy Suzie Sloppy Snatch grew up together in the slippery town of Deep Gap, North Carolina. They were best friends, and Colonel William Francis Thurston "Crazy Eye" Auten-Smith III knew that someday he and Sleazy Suzie Sloppy Snatch...
Ten random things that make me smile: 1. The Killer Rabbit from Monty Python & the Holy Grail 2. The music of The Unicorns - especially this lyric: We are the Unicorns. We're more than just horses. 3. Putting on my favorite white blouse fresh out of the dryer 4. A full tank of petrol in my auto 5....
My camera zoom was too weak to capture the little baby unicorns at play so many feet up in the tree. Here's one of them! I cropped the rest of the photos so we could see the babies more clearly. Don't miss the baby unicornlet on the underside of the branch:
Unicorn has babies! I was walking by Unicorn's oak grove this evening, craning my neck to look into the trees as usual when I saw the most amazing bit of unicorn magic. Unicorn seemed to be in two places at once - poking his head out of a hole in the branch while scampering up the outside. Then I...
What lessons did you take when you were younger that you abandoned? Why did you stop? Where to begin... Tap dancing: Can you see me tap dancing? No, it wasn't a good fit... Piano lessons: 10 years worth. I am glad that I was forced to do it, but quit because I was 17 and too cool Tennis lessons: I...
Back to the keep early this day, to protect the citizenry whilst SWMBO is off Across the River for some manner of professionalism. It's too damn cold and I'd rather have the windows open, but soon enough neh? it's going to be Spring and then I'll have to get the lawnmower ready. So Big and Little...

Starting time : 5.46pm Name : A n g i e Sisters : Still in school to which she'll come back and watch Camp Rock for the 13th time. Brothers : Wish i had an older one. Though...
That's one comment I read about the hotel we were going to in the Maldives. Rat Infested Hell. Now, I don't know where exactly this woman had been, but it must've been on some other planet because I didn't recognize anything of that in the 5-star resort we stayed at. Okay, so we saw a rat once, but...
My handbag is more along the lines of a small duffel bag, I can carry blankets, small dogs, my own personal library of books, bricks, bibles, unicorns etc. but today for lack of something better to write about, Question of the day: In my handbag. Today in my "handbag" 1. My Wallet 2. The Thirteenth...

Note to self: Egg Press. Cuters. I have so many ideas, and not enough time. The weekend cannot come soon enough! I don't know how long I can keep up the pace of working on cards, thinking about cards, listing cards from the time I get home to work until 1 or 2 in the morning. I'm sleepy, but there's...
We had a Variety Show at church last night to kick off confirmation which Cody begins this year. Lily & 4 of her best friends sang "Come to Jesus".
