"Butterflies taste with their feet."

That is seriously one of the coolest things I have ever learned.

ah, well then i guess some recipes will just be out of reach... heheh.

how's life?

yup... scratch.

It turned fall down here to finally, I love it. There are huge piles of leaves everywhere.

how's life with all the volcano action and what not?

lol it's like they think the eath moves everytime they have a volcano or an earthquake...er.... hold on...

lol i don't have kids

Volcanoes are awesome. But I'm glad I don't live near one.

I got tired of the old name, so I changed it. Sorry for any confusion.

Does anybody in Seattle talk about Mt. Ranier possibly erupting?

Thanks for the comment on the pic!

And congrats on being off the hook... It's always surprising how much you can get out of with just a little persistence.

that's retarded. I HATE the way the government can make you do stupid stuff. Just give us money, dammit!!!!

yeah... i had some illustrious years in college...

Hey! I know you!

The film was good? I studied that in book in university, and loved it. And I also adore Reese Witherspoon. But for some reason i haven't wanted to see the film. It was such a long book, I don't know how it's possible to make it into a short film!

we're all insane so no worries

it usually takes me about 3-5 hours to download an episode. I hate having to wait!

i kind of felt that EVERYTHING about the episode made me feel like I was watching Melrose Place or something. The way it was shot - the scene where it cuts to Russel wandering by himself in an empty area of the gallery, watching Claire, etc.

Nates entire attitude about everything is driving me crazy. And how suddenly everything was solved in one instance, and then the guy shoots himself. WTF??

The worst part is that movie producer guy. That is right out of left field, and is something I wish they would cut out.

I dont' know, I'm suddenly not looking forward to the show anymore. And it sucks!

yah heinlein is a bit on the sexist side, but i started reading him long before i had any idea what misogeny meant i'm more prone to Spider Robinson's "callahan" series these days.
OH LORD, Stuck in Lodi Again, yup ohio... who do you know out here? poor souls, lodi is an odd place to live.

thanks i always feel vaguley bashful when someone comments on my art

i work two jobs and do some photo work on the side, my free time is all artwork (or my surrogate girl friend Ms. Playstation) , because it's what i really want to do for money. Fortunatley people have started buying my stuff recently so maybe i'll get to be all bad ass art boy.

It seems so hard to even get an interview these days unless you know someone, which makes temp agencies that much more attractive. I think companies like to use temps to test people out, that way if they don't like them they can just replace them. It sounds bad, but I think in the end it usually works out best for both parties.

the only real reason we aren't dating is because it is something that he is totally not ready for. He has way to many things going on, and has the typical 'fear of commitment'. And I can't see myself being with someone like that. So we have a great friendship, and that's where we are for now. Who knows what will come of it eventually!

I'm pretty familiar with the symbolism associated with moons, but what about with snakes and with the letter X?

Interestingly enough, there's a fairly significant ceremony in the book I'm teaching right now that uses snakes very heavily. I'd be interested to hear about the different cultural meanings for this symbol.

Also, I think I used a dictionary like that when I was writing a paper on T.S. Eliot. He has a specific passage in one of his poems where he refers to an orchid, and it turns out (as I discovered through using the Symbolism Dictionary) that the orchid has a whole range of potential symbolic meanings.

I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO USE THOSE SMILIES.
I'M A LITTLE ILLITERATE IN THE TECH DEPT.

ugh, I know what you mean. Unfortunately, the feeling got to me and I haven't written anything in months. NOT GOOD!
