* In 1958, the Crayola crayon color "Prussian Blue" was changed to "Midnight Blue" by the request of teachers as kids could not relate to Prussian history.

Interesting... Wonder why they changed the name instead of just teaching their students about it... I guess we'll never know, will we. surreal

This is my question of the day: What do you hate that everyone else seems to love?

I'll give you a few examples-I fell asleep during the Matrix. I can't stand Robin Williams, and (although I may be in the majority on this site on this one) I don't get the whole Dave Matthews thing. I know the guy's heart and politics are in the...

Yeah, fuck American remakes. Especially when they change the ending. Grr...

It was a wonderful weekend. Thanks for asking. And yours?
rainwolfkin:
are you making funny of me? should i have said film? tongue

i used to hate david matthews. at university, there was some bloke on the first floor of my dorm building that played the same matthews song incessantly. and due to his location, everytime you came into the building, you'd hear it. one of the torments of the entire year. puke

i've since gotten over it, but i think that's because i had a crush on a particular girl once and her favorite band was david matthews. whatever

Dear God

I hope Karl Rove is finally thrown to the wolves for his involvement in this CIA leak. I would love nothing more than to see him have to resign in disgrace over this.

And for the record, outing an undercover CIA agent is treason, Karl.

And I want Dick Cheney to have another heart attack. Is that wrong?

Amen

Did you ever have one of those moments you WISH you could have back again because you didn't have the proper response?

Saturday night I spent an ungodly amount of time trying to meet up with a friend of mine. Horrid traffic, a fire, general NYC parking craziness, mixed messages and a slew of other obstacles all conspired to keep us apart for 3 hours....

Another city, another explosion, another number of innocent lives lost.

I'm angrier than I can possibly stay.

God can not be shrunk to share in anyone's hatreds, be it Al Queda or George W. Bush.

My thoughts are with you guys in London.

How is everyone doing?

~A LIKELY POSSIBILITY~

RONIN: GROUP EXHIBITION & NEW WORKS by AARON WATKINS. August 4, 2005- September 29, 2005. Lux Gallery, Chicago, IL. Opening night silent auction to benifit the Watkins Cancer Treatment Fund, August ?, 2005

Hey guys- Aaron's Art Show and Slient Art Auction is still happening.

I am collecting artist contact info and work samples/pics to see about hanging a cohesive exhibition.

Anyone who is still intrested in donating work for this show is PLEASE welcome to contact me either in my journal or e-mail me directly at catsuicide@hotmail.com

The show will likely generate a good deal of PR and in the very least artists will be garaunteed exposure in return for their donations.

Humans have a funny need to arrainge themselves into little cliques. I say that without judgement, but I just find it funny. Every clique has it's own little power struggles, it's insiders and outsiders, it's own set of rules.

I went to a nude beach in New Jersey on Saturday. Yes, a nude beach in New Jersey. It was horrifying. I mean, the general rule...

Yeah I guess everyone some way just waited for another big attack to happend but still, you just don't think it will happend. I'm glad Sweden is a neutral country, even though it has alot of downsides too you know at least it's a pretty safe place to live in. So you're working late, that means starting late too I guess?

My roommate called me at work to tell me that apparently a pipe has been leaking into her bedroom for some time and lots of water had collected under her bed, In fact, she said, some mold and a mushroom was actually beginning to grow there.

I was very excited and raced home right away in hopes to find her bed in a giant mushroom,...

Found it on the internet, of course! The files were high quality and I burned a copy for Severus yesterday and it sounded quite allright. I will send you "real" copies and not any mp3's.

I've got to work on quieting my mind. It's always racing ahead of me, or running to keep up. it never just sits still and watches things go by. I need to train it to do that more.

I've been doing a lot of reading for the past few years about how your focus determines your reality. I've had glimpses of that, but nothing else....

No apologies necessary-- you know it can take me quite a while sometimes when I'm busy, too. I just wrote that guy a note in his journal to the same effect & he seemed unconcerned when he wrote back. Hey, if he doesn't like it, he doesn't have to be my "friend", ya know? However, it sounds like he's going through some turmoil in his life, so maybe he's not normally like that.

Oh yes, the Buffy knitting night sure was fun! I believe we introduced my friend Joscelyn to "Welcome to the Hellmouth/The Harvest", "The Witch", "Teacher's Pet", and by then we were running on empty a little (well, Christina --the host-- and I probably could have gone for more-- she said it didn't matter how late we stayed because she'd probably just watch until she fell alseep anyway. . .), so then we just finished up with "Once More, With Feeling", to give Jos a look at the even cheesier side of things. . . those of us who could sang along, of course. I really think we need to do that again soon. . .

Oh, no word yet on the fella I'm dating. . . he's yet again busy this week, this time with family in town. By the time I get the chance to bring up what's been on my mind, it will have been over three weeks since I actually talked to him face to face (or actually on the phone for that matter-- he doesn't call & only e-mails in response to mine). Doesn't sound like much of a dating life, does it? Alas. . . I'm actually not too bothered by it at this point. Jos is encouraging me to go find a nice girl to smooch on next. . . you know-- mix it up a bit tongue miao!!

I highly recommend "My Summer of Love", by the way. Some of the camera work was annoying at the beginning, but the story & acting was intense (and sometimes really hot, esp. because the girls are British!!!)

Well, I'm off lay about and watch some more of Season 2 of Six Feet Under. Have a safe & happy 4th, kiddo!!!! Do you have any big plans?

ARRR!!! E ARRR!!!
