'There's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life - full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly.'

Or John Stuart Mill: "It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied."

Happens to me all the time. But what we have to do is try to watch at our life with a little more of perspective. We will find out our life is not so bad, and will find for sure people with a harder life. You're a lucky man. How many mens would like to be you. You're inteligent, and awesome, and you live in an amazing place full of sunlight. If you make the balance you'll feel easier with yourself ;)

Women with Big Butts are healthier.

You have to love the guy who talked someone into giving him a grant to study this.

So that's why my butt is so big, all those Omega-3's taking up residency.

This is good news... I already liked big butts but this is basically icing on the cake!

When facing high stakes situations I find calmness in remembering any memory of our mostly anonymous lives will be completely erased by indifference soon after we die and will be forgotten for eternity. Really takes the edge off.

The SG show in SLC was an interesting chance to meet and hear about the lesbian community in that city. Very friendly and enthusiastic group of women. The world is so much larger then my little perfect comfortable bubble. These experiences, ultimately meaningless, always uncomfortable, are probably "good for me". Awareness widening and all that.

I love the Salt Lake City lesbian community. I love everything about Salt Lake City that doesn't conform to what the founders of Salt Lake City stood for. I grew up there, and that place has more soul, grit and genuine rebellion than anywhere else I have ever been (if you care to look). The people there are distinctly divided into the ones who stand for something, and the ones who fall for everything.

I really feel you on the launch problems of your health care website. It's really hard to get software to work perfectly out of the gate on all the different platforms and browsers, even with a hundred million dollar budget.

The government websites here in Australia are pretty awful too, once again, even with fairly decent budgets being thrown at them.
