I love going on SG (you all know that) and I love IMing (at the very least, Tunnelslats knows thatand I have thankfully IMed most everybody etc etc) but I had a HUGE headache and a movie jones yesterday, so I decided to go rent. Morgan, braveliltoaster, and the charming vaj had inspired me to see The Royal Tenenbaums, and the mentions in the Irish...

Had dinner at my parents'. I went to my mom in the kitchen and said, "Just wondering how things are going," and she started talking about dad and her..I HAD meant how's dinner going, but I felt like a jerk correcting her, and in fact felt about 2 inches tall at that moment for not asking her, in general, how things are going more often....

I could be wrong. The molester on the episode I'm thinking of might have worked at a bike-repair shop -- unless I am confused again.
Ah. Kitties sitting in laps. Good things.

Crimea is meant to be one of the up and coming hotspots, like Varna. I know Varna was some kind of Greek trading post that was taken over by the Romans, the Slavs, and eventually the Turks - Varna was the site of a massive battle between the Crusaders and the Turks...
hmmm....
Christians, Muslims, Greek Orthodox in a former Soviet area with good food, and beautiful beaches...and no fighting.
I am still trying desperately to understand the breakup of Yougaslavia...I think the only way is to go there...

Are you familiar with Peter Gabriel's Witness Project?
http://www.witness.org
I saw some footage from the project that shocked the very essence of my soul from Rwanda. I couldn't imagine how anyone could find the hate to do some of the things I saw on that video. It might be a good starting point for your investigation - it really puts things into perspective or at least helps you understand how irrational people are behaving...

Is it better to leave a semi-interesting journal up, even if it's one day stale, or to just put in a new lil blurb to give people novelty?

What up mang?
I've been in n' out of da loop lately , kinda fadangled, but fly nonetheless......
Don & Mike, oh yes, I'm more into the past than the present. I used to be a delivery driver, and I listened all day long. I even got in trouble a few times for too much D&M. One time, when I worked for the Rob/May Co. I was listening to the contest they had for a penis extension. I worked on the dock, so the radio was loud. The time clock was in there, so people were always hearing their crazy shit when they walked in to clock. There was an elderly manager lady (Marge) who walked in when D&M said, "We're gonna take the one with the smallest penis." I jumped around the corner in time to hide, but I saw the gasp on her face. Right after that another manager walked in to clock out and Marge goes, "Did you hear that? They said they're gonna take the one with the smallest penis!" I started to cry from laughing so hard..HAHAHHAHAAAAA! I got in trouble, of course, but man, nothing beats seeing an old lady say "smallest penis."
I still like when Tom the Monster shows up to spell words...
I was on Don & Mike one time trying to win a contest to Iceland. They wanted people to pull over to a payphone and gather people and put them on the air. I managed to get about 150 people, but we lost...waaaaaaaaaah!
P-Funk, P-Funk, P-Funk.....
So what else is up ese'?

Oh god... you're right. I was drunk when I typed that. Thanks.
Thanks.A funny thing about the Internet, and standard delivery of the New York Times Book Review, is that we get it at the library almost a week early, and you CAN'T get these reviews on the site or (obviously) today if you are subscribing at home.

I haven't been able to find a comprehensive book review database online anywhere. Maybe there aren't enough people passionate about books. Or maybe Amazon.com does it for us. I want an IMDB for books, goddamnit.

the Supah Cam is on...but I'm about to get food so iono how long it'll be on. I look like a monster when I eat!
A book I saw at the library Thursday, that I'd read before, was Two Weeks in the Midday Sun, a fun little book about the Cannes Festival by Roger Ebert. He discusses the berserk promotion, fighting amongst industry people from fans to critics to actors and studio execs and so on.
He mentions conversationmanship, the process by which critics try to trip up other writers...

The kitty has been more or less behaving. She did not come when called last night, though, so had to stay outside. I regret this, but it is above 60 degrees here at night now, and it was up til 1a.m. that I waited.

They're independent and want to show that they couldn't give a rat's ass about you while still taking everything they can and pestering you constantly when it suits them....but they are so cute and cuddly so you can't complain!
Actually, now that I think about it, I think that's a metaphor for my life...

Hmm.. I've been done school for about 2 weeks now, but I *have* been busy.. just started a new job (web development stuff - I knew nothing of the language we're using, so I've been trying to cram all this new stuff in my head!)
Actually, when I don't post much it's only partially cause I've been busy... it's more likely that things have just been uneventful. No sense in just posting "I had minestrone soup for lunch today!" or something, after all.
So whats been keeping you busy and away from SG land?

braveliltoaster asked me if I thought the presidential candidate John Edwards is hot. Not really.
