i'm not sure if they can to subdermals down the spine... the couldn't even do them lower on my arm.

you definatly need a little chub.

plus they'd be really hard to take care of

Yes yes! I am very addicted. But, it's over now... *sigh*. Now I have to catch up on Angel...

Wow, that's quite a week! But how do you have 10 late nights in a week?!?

now you're in for it

circa 700, a monk wrote 'hymn to st. john the baptist':

Ut queant laxis
Resonare fibris
Mira gestorum
Famuli tuorum
Solve polluti
Labii reatum

each line begins with the tones ascending the major scale. hence, the first syllables of each line became a kind of mnemonic: ut, re, mi, fa, sol, la. (some other monk later added si to complete the scale.)

there are still two little differences between this solmisation and the one we hear in 'the sound of music': 'do' replaces 'ut', and 'ti' replaces 'si'.

to be honest, i'm not sure why we replaced 'ut' with 'do'. most non-english-speaking countries still use 'ut'. it's just us english weirdos.

'si' to 'ti' came about because another version of solmisation includes different vowel sounds for different accidentals. the problem? 'sol' and 'si' are both sung the same as sharps.

now, moving on to the moveable-do system... what? are you nodding off?!?

(aren't you glad you brought that up...?)

ah thank you for that fitting tribute, my friend!!! please play "i'm gonna kill that woman", by senor hooker, and think of yours truly. hmmmm....canada you say? ya couldn't make me go. thems is some odd folks, i must say. maybe they are normal when they're on their home turf. i'm not dissin' canadians. they're just....uh....quirky.
old-soul incest. i'm gonna have to slice 'n' dice that one for a bit. you have fun with that one.

oh, but i do!
if you're talking about stuff like new kids on the block, the partridge family, white lion and vanilla ice, you might wanna just toss it.
if you're talking about "songs from the ponderosa (bonanza)", spock sings, or things like that, you definitely should hold onto them.
crap is crap, but cheese (not butt cheese) is GOLD!

Yes, I certainly wouldn't complain about worship.

so, you've lived on the east coast, and now you're on the west coast--which do you like better? i love the east coast, but i've never been to the west coast. i'm thinking of moving somewhere out of the midwest in about a year or so....just curious how the two compare.

oh, and uh, thanks for the lovely visual in your quote up there--i'm guessing that it did NOT come from a hallmark card!

no, i want to move OUT OF the midwest--i'm in michigan now. i have thought about colorado.....

i looked at your website link a minute ago--good stuff!

robin did that once... looked really cool. i need to try it out... i even have a flatbed!

watch for updates...

is there happy hour anywhere in tacomo i'm free til 9

thanks for the sweet note. your posts are always entertaining as well.

LOL! i burst out laughing when i looked at that link!

i think that is a nikon 995. well, i know for sure it's a nikon, and it's the super expensive $900. one---i don't own it though. i wish i did, but i borrowed it from my ex's company. it's a great digital camera--cuz it pivots at the middle. i love that!

my "regular" camera is a nikon, though. and i lost a nice F3 setup in my break-up.......damn! the 20 mm lens was my favorite!

Do you know where Lewiston is?

Its right on the Idaho/Washington border. I was actually staying in Clarkston, WA, but I spent most of my time in Lewiston. They're practically the same town.

boys can get away with shit like that... girls are suposed to look cute and diffrent all the time.

i'd say it was unfair, but i don't really mind too much

weird always looks weird to me.

had some snakeskin boots custom made for me when i lived in thailand. by god's grace, they are no longer with us.
if you are drinkin' beer, you might want to listen to something a little more raucous.
start off with some fast eddie clarke-era motorhead. "ace of spades" is always a winner. remember-motorhead is NOT a metal band.
if you're listening to motorhead you MUST also play the ramones. "leave home" is a good follow up to your previous selection. by the time "commando" comes on, you should have a good buzz goin'.
you're at a crossroads now. things could go in many directions. it's time to put on the dead boys "young, loud & snotty", but you take it off after "sonic reducer", because you want to hear side 1 of the new york dolls self-titled lp. now you're rollin'. the next obvious choice is any cramps records you might have. you've reached yet another crossroad. if you're gonna go get more beer, go now. you've got a good edge and your mood hasn't slipped! if you're set, you need to put on "sticky fingers" by the rolling stones. plenty of rockers on there, but also some sad ones in case you need to climb in your head for awhile. if you don't pass out during "can't you hear me knockin'" then you've got a few great songs to rock out to. if you can make it to "moonlight mile", you've got a great song to pass out to. whatever you do, don't pick up the damn phone. hey! that's your closet. that's not the bathroom! don't piss in there. too late!

i would to be a designer

i have been having a spiritual wanderjahr if one can have that. my mind is a sieve, at the moment. sometimes i wish we could take out the bad parts (diseased, sick, sick thoughts, anything) and just leave in the good.

I am totally me in my journals, and when i chatted online i was so me, people either really hated me or really loved me because i was so me.

i just started a book called the april witch, aprilhxan, and its ok but i hate the fact that the print is so tiny i need like my glasses..(i hate to have them on when im lying down.)

im always terrified of people being too close..but i dont think that was your question. MY stepping is always crumbling, my balane isnt good.... you get the picture.

what is the sudden obsession with pirates recently? is it all because of that movie...(im talking on the site...)

and...my best friend is moroccan, i have never ever seen her pick her nose, and we have been best friends for 2 years...but she always tries to tell me, she has left behind morroco.

take care and hugs!!!
