If there's one curmudgeonly SG member that is dear to my heart, why that member is MisterSatan.

Why is that do you ask? His wit, his panache? His library, Seattle-guidance? His massive Coca-Cola flavored dong? (or so it's rumored)

Well those things too, but there is another reason as well. Once, long ago, MisterSatan initiated me into the numinous.

He was the first...

Yeeeeah we ARE cute and usually look much (I actually accidentally wrote 'mush' at first ahaha) more content, but all part of being in character ya know?
I'm slightly lactose intolerant, a little cheese on my pasta or milk in my coffee is OK, but ice cream does awful things to my insides, it really blows

I'm reading Cory Doctorow's new novel "Makers." It has the usual Doctorow tropes (I tried to portmanteau that but gave up) - new technologies, ways of making, theme parks, etc. It has a very Bruce Sterling feel to me - entertaining fiction that's mainly about new social trends and technologies, or extrapolated ones.

I guess now you just keep on with your bad self. You've reached the top of a very prestigious two-rung ladder of success.

Well, I do have the rap patrol on the gat patrol, so I guess it's fitting.

She and I have the same birthday. Aw yeah.

When I was going to school in Bonn, there was a giant poster of her from Der Blaue Engel in the train station I arrived in for school every morning, and I really wanted to bring it home with me. Alas, it had been plastered to the wall and was un-peelable.

I think the air in Shanghai is flammable. Good thing I don't smoke.

It was nice to drink coffee and have sandwiches though.

I bought pygmy 2nd row tickets to go see uber-violinist Gidon Kremer for her birthday and took her out for Italian dinner in the French Concession for our 1 year anniversary.

We also met a lovely old man who will be repairing...

That doesn't keep it from being awesome! And like I said, it's a geek thing, which means that about 90% of the people you show it to will be very impressed. wink
