Seen those new slippers called "Gators"? My aunt bought me a pair out of the blue some months back. My first reaction was, "These are hideous. They must be fashionable for some reason." Turns out that was right - they're a fad because they're "so comfortable". Only they are pretty comfortable. It's a trap, really. You find yourself slipping them on just thinking you'll wear...

There's no conversion! You just buy a diesel car and pump it in!

Yeah, your friend must be using straight veggie oil (SVO) instead of biodiesel.

Back in St.Lou since the new year. Getting situated in the new apartment, getting back up to speed with my coding, getting back into climbing.

In other words, the usual.

when you have a job like mine, the phrase "top secret boobies" comes up fairly often.

Damn! I sent you something to the wrong address, then.

Welcome back! The collection of tangent circles was an interesting design choice, and the series of traps looks clever and tough for low levels. Nice job.

I am living with a cat.
After living with this cat for 6 months, and with its patron, I have come to the conclusion (following discussion with said patron) that all of the cat's utterances can be translated to one of three words, five tops. The words the cat says are:

1. "ME!"
2. "FOOD!"
3. "NO!"

and possiibly also

4. "BITCH!"
5. "NOW!"

Nice. I'll just be sad I don't have the money to travel to a fabled Baudot party. Finally saw Serenity, loved it. Revers now even more the main characters of my nightmares. Finished my degree... Life is pretty damn sweet. Hope you're well!

Sister's movie continues to shine. It's done something I've yet to see another picture do: capture a 100% fresh rating on RottenTomatoes.com. During the New York premier, they had people sitting in the aisles to catch it, having bought tickets to other movies to sneak into hers.

My own creative attempts are being well received, although a few genre purists have had criticisms....

Trailers for sister's movie are up on iFilm.
Check them out.


From her statement on the movie:

I grew up around music. At age 37, my dad stopped selling boat tarps for his father in Alabama, and started writing country songs. He loved Kris Kristofferson and Hank Williams and Bob Dylan and Odetta, and had a whole room full of vinyl. On Sundays, he recorded...

Back in St.Louis.
I truly believe that the body can put off being sick, for a time, at least. I had a sniffle for the last two days I was in San Fran, but nothing nore. I arrived back in St.Louis to a girl offering to take care of me, and relaxed, and within hours the cold closed in. Can't breathe, dizzy, spacy, restless.

But,...

I love bringing soup to sick friends. I used to do that and read from "Grimm's Fairy Tales" when my friend Stacy was sick. smile She'd lay there and cough and sniffle while I read fairy tales.

You're a gem. Most boys are grouches when they're sick, so I leave them alone. I've never met one who liked to have someone care for him.

In San Fran, surfing off the Apple store's wireless from the sidewalk.
I love this city.
alpo:
I love SF too. Check out Bound Together, the anarchist bookstore in the Haight (at the opposite end from the park).

Hmmm... there's Saha. Middle Eastern fusion food. On Sutter. Might be a little far to walk, but worth the trip.

I read your group description. There is a "ban" feature you can use to prevent people from returning to your group if they behave in an unacceptable manner. Therefore, your group would function better as a public one.
