Bad sign..... first thing I do Monday morning is rip open two of my knuckles (as in oozing blood everywhere) while attempting to change the batteries in my electric toothbrush, which was ultimately unsuccessful.

Can't wait for the rest of the week smile

2. had to do emergency site redesign
3. made tasteless pot of beans.

Image: walking through Times Square at 2PM on a rainy Thursday. A cop on the sidewalk. Another. A group of three. A group of ten. Twenty more on this block alone.

To contain a couple of dozen people with picket signs and hoarse, chilled voices.

This. Is. Fucked. Up.

I walked on to my interview. The floors on the elevator were marked not by numbers...

wish list, 10:30am, st patrick's day '03:

+ one padded gel made-for-women bike seat

- one war with iraq

interesting question of the day.... how does being anti-war equal anti-troops when one of the reasons for being anti-war is not wanting to see brothers/lovers/friends killed for a war that we shouldn't be in? (substitute sister-in-law for brother and i have all three headed for the...

cereal_killer:
Hmmm... Interesting question.
I am definitely anti-war, but I fully support our troops...
as in I support their immediate safe return and the end to all of this.

When all of this finally does go down my younger brother has already stated that he will not wait for a draft (if there is to be one) and simply enlist. Not for patriotic reasons, but because then he will, as he says, "have more control over [his] overall involvement in the war and it will be [his] choice to join, not someone forcing [his] hand."
What a crock of shit. Dead is dead and I don't want him over there. If he doesn't enlist then they might never draft him. I say living is better than trying to beat someone to the punch that might never come.

Sorry I got rambling a bit.

Ha. I was going to write about how gawdawful tired I am (which I am)...... but then I thought how funny it was to take a look at my priorities...... SG wins over sleep smile
godzuki:
i can identify; i often wonder why i'm up working until 2 am, and it's usually because of the 3 hours i spent on SG earlier in the evening wink
event_bravo:
bok Im so great, Im going to get a tattoo and become a part time whore like the women I see on the street corners. But where you say? The local prison, they say they accept some different forms of payment, Im not sure what they are, hmm, guess I'll find out tomorrow.

But Im fine, besides the pistol Im holding up to my head Im fine, "Chuckle Chuckle"

"oh god thomson. what did you do? you had so much going for you. (friend realizes the absurdity of this statement, then bursts into hysterical laughter."

The pressing question of my life right this second (why? because I have nothing better to do): I know what the tattoos are going to look like... where should they go?

agreed.
j0bber:
I personally favor the shoulder blades and lower back, but it depends on the design, as well as the discretion required at work. Anyway, put up pictures when they're done.

Remember that scene in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory where they're walking through the corridor and the ceiling gets lower and lower even though everything seems like it's in proper perspective?

My life feels a lot like that right now.

Hey, reina,

you might know this. Do you know what application/plugin they use to do that neat cell-rendering effect? The one they used for "Waking Life?" The video service department here can probably get me anything I want, but I can't find anything solid on the web.

Thanks

Maybe it's not SG that makes me crave a little fine art.... maybe it's working on real estate websites at one in the morning frown

hey there. um well, i found stuff in my room displaced and finger paints. this points to the possibility that the set was shot in my room actually (and to the direction of the set?). but maybe i'm mistaken. i had nothing to do with this however, as I had to leave to see some friends for most of saturday and ended up satying the night in western mass, so how was your weekend? what's new?

hmm. yes, that picture of the three girls on isobel's page. that's my bed. hmm...;=)

SG makes me want to start making fine art again.... a lot of the photography really blurs the line between porn and art..... it's inspiring, thought-provoking.

If I shot an SG set, I'd shoot it as art, and then shoot it as porn, and see where the differences fell between the two. Any model volunteers?

juke joint jezebel. funnily enough a favorite of an old girlfriend of mind. first heard it on some back ass tape she made for me back maybe sophomore year of high school. BE MINE SISTER SALVATION!!!! hehe. you made me smile, you get points.

i like the pic. very nice. i approve.

I must say i used to get made fun of in college for (supposedly) having sex to loud german angry music of the rammstein variety. buck dich, befehl ich dir, wende dein Antlitz ab von mir, dein gesicht is mir egal... hehe. there may even be a video skit out there of someone mimicking these events. Over a hundred people may have seen it too, with me and said girl present ;=)

sadly my "de-virginization" has no soundtrack, nor anything particularly gothy about it. damn. had i known this would come up in coversation, i might have chosen the girl and the circumstances more carefully ;=) crap.

i guess if you do an SG set you must walk down the street thinking everyone can see you naked. and in point of fact, i guess they can, though they most likely didn't. i mean, how many people are actually on this...

I don't think your bisexuality necessarily comes through on your profile. then again, why would a straight girl be on here...hmm. L'ART POUR L'ART!!! ;=) (art for art's sake if that hasn't come up on your tape yet)

Well, I guess I'll go be european now (i play soccer, don't laugh, i even keep the face metal in). I think I might take KMFDM with me in the car. What excellent ideas you give me, although losing my virginity again seems unlikely...
fatalconceit:
Hi I'm John. Pleased to meet you Sarah. I am also smart, blonde, cute, and nearsighted. Give or take a little on each adjective....

I'm not averse to your laughing at me. Just don't get into the habit... ;=)

I don't know. I have a love/hate relationship with all things goth. The music is good, but not if overdone. The pretentiousness is fine as long as the hypocrisy isn't too blatant. any lifestyle that's not compatible with going to get food in a supermarket or home improvement probably has issues to resolve...

Whatever, I play soccer, I wear a spike through my lip, I'm getting a PhD, I listen to KMFDM. I deal.

Rammstein is tyical of that love/hate thing. It's German, so I love it just on the basis that i get something linguistically out of it. Musically and lyrically, it's pretty horrendous, but awfully catchy nonetheless, thus causing sparks of glee amidst a general fear that someone German will point out to me that these lyrics are really dumb. Their US fans are also retarded (there's a song called Heirate Mich - marry me - that large hair metal dudes will be yelling in the crowd without the slightest clue as to what it means) sigh. whatever, you can't hate an idea or music because of the other people who also enjoy it. I mean, I listen to German rap too...

Picking photos was interesting..... I think the choices say a lot about peoples' personalities.

I like pretty pictures with pretty grrls staring at the camera, for the most part.... state of dress or undress largely irrelevant.

What do you like?
fatalconceit:
hmm. i have to make a decision on grad school by april 15th. i still haven't heard from anyone else. this is me <--- this is me going nuts <----

ah yes, the language learning tapes.

bonjour. je m'appelle francois. je suis chauffeur de taxi...
i suggest picking up some french music just for a feel of the pronounciation. (not that other than Noir Dsir, i could ever recommend anything good in French) i've learned a fair bit of german over the years thanks to das ich, rammtein, sopor aeternus, erdball, funker vogt et al...
not vocabulary that's necessarily useful...but some nonetheless...

it was also quite nice today in boston at least from the 4 nanoseconds i was outside during the day. glad to hear you were not in fact involved in that nasty fire in warwick.

i've used a program called cool page for my recent web design. it works. more or less. though it doesn't really help with testing stuff out on different browsers and screen sizes.

and i love the girls with intense stares, glares, pouts, or mischievous smiles. ;=)

fatalconceit:
hmm. from here looks like my last comment a mile long was cut short by our friends at suicide girls...i don't think it was THAT racy ;=)

anyway, i like the girls with intensity in their eyes, or something in their eyes that betrays personality. hard to put into words.

i haven't heard from anyone but brown yet, though as i understand it the first week of march is when most schools mail their decisions.

i need to work on my site a little this weekend. coolpage is the editor of choice. problematic for anyone who doesn't have the same size sceen as I do, but otherwise an editor with plenty of functionality. then again, i lean to the minimalist when it comes to web design. saves loading time, and most of the bells and whistles are annoying at best.

as for french. well, if you have any questions, you can always ask... :=) not that i know very much about picking up guys at bars...

incidentally, an industry that doesn't contract much in slower economic times: analytics. the company i work for also sells a product that helps companies measure how much return on investment they are getting from public relations activities. these sort of things are especially important in a downturn when the belts tighten and people have to figure what's important and what's expendable...
