current work-related bullshit:
a couple of months ago something was said to me that, frankly, I forgot about as soon as it was said.
in some alternate universe, perhaps, it could possibly have been percieved as a vague threat, altho it was intended, & taken by me, as a sort of feeble joke.

vacation was whittled down to two days (out of laziness on my part)--ended up going to SLC. I had fun.

ewww, i'd hate pork too if i were you. my granddad once tricked me into eating squirrel meet. He told me it was chicken. I was very upset.

Something like that usually happens whenever I lay out in a field, gazing at the clouds. More than once I've felt something crawling around my ear, and, of course, all I could think was "my god, an earwhig!"
But then I go spastic when wasps buzz me, so whatever.

there may be Freudian reasons for this..
or an anti-articulate (read: Republican) conspiracy.
or it may be, with me, a case of being comfortable with a very old manual typewriter. probably.

I use to think that the funnier ironic lines are the unintentionally ironic ones...
This title from today's NY Times seems, sadly, to be only partly unintentionally ironic:
<B>New Rules Give Big Media Chance to Get Even Bigger</B>
...but, anyway.

Hello!
I just paid a visit to this site:

and thought that if you've not already stumbled on it, it could maybe interest you.
Good planning!

it seems to me that there's a portion of the violence that occurs at the prison is due to power-plays by the various gangs, dominance, self-defence or punishment meted out due to the nature of an inmates crime or gambling/drug debts.
but the vast majority of incidents can be chalked up to good old-fashioned boredom.

Let's talk about something else.
You're right, no comment is needed for this entry, better we leave everybody draw their own conclusion and learn from it.
OK, let's talk about something else.
... Thanks! thanks so much for providing me such an exhaustive report on weed-whackers and their relation with weed-eaters. That's what i'd want to say when i came to this page, but for some reason I totally forgot.
I can't believe there has been so far neither porn nor fan-fiction made available, involving weed-whackers?
Also, I saw there was a new thread in the Site section about Neil Gaiman... and I realized all of a sudden that I have had the link to Gaiman's site in my browser's Favorites list fot more or less one year and I never went visiting it!
I'm clearly a relic from the ages that preceded the Information Age, I never think of doing things like this.
um.. how big, the copper wire?

i had a dream last night where one of the girls in it had a pierced eyeball.
Spring feels like it's finally here, & it's about god-damn time.
I bought a weed-whacker.
it's not a very good one (the little "whacking string" is too short & I need to take the thing apart to advance it every 10 minutes or so)--but there's a certain simultaneous embrace of & surrender to adulthood in being able to say "I own a weed-whacker"

As I was unable to find the word "weed-whacker" in my old-fashioned paper dictionary, I did a search with various online dictionaries...
"British American For English Speaking People" told me plainly: "The word you've entered isn't in the dictionary". It immediately added (with, it seemed to me, its electronic tongue stuck in its virtual cheek) the following suggestions:
Suggestions for weed-whacker:
1. wideawakes
2. wideawake
3. wide-awake
4. headwaiter
5. woodworker
6. headwaters
7. headwaiters
8. wood-carver
9. woodwork
10. headwater
The online American Heritage dictionary hadn't weed-whacker in it either. It had "weeder". Is a weed-whacker some sort of weeder?
If owning a weed-whacker helps for "embracing and surrendering to adulthood" as your post suggests it, it could be of some use to me.
Anyway, I love me some gratuitous pornographic interludes once in a while!

the other day I had a very compelling (&, now, mostly forgotten) dream about the baksashi, the demon of Indian mythology with the body of a man or woman & the head of a tiger.
the idea has been marinating in my head for a couple of days for a story in which the baksashi plays a part--maybe sort of a parody on the current...

When I was, like, 6, my father used to read me The Jungle Book as a bedtime story... you imagine the effects it produced on a young and impressionable Tororo.
I 'd read it again several times since... in French, of course. I think it's time for starting reading it in English....
Your project sounds interesting... any hope to read more soon?
.. and thanks for the good luck, it will be needed!

I meant, the real Jungle Book, of course, not the Disney ersatz. I d'idn't even realize at first that in our days and age, this may have to be precised.
kinda funny joke:
man walks into a bar (stop me, please if you've heard this one) carrying a pair of jumper cables.
"Gimme a shot a' whiskey & a beer!" bellows the man.
"Alright," says the bartender, uneasily, " but I don't want you startin' anything"
tee hee.

last night just plain sucked ass.
driving to work at around dusk, tooling down Main Street, I looked in my rear-view window to see what looked like a little piece of carpet flipping up between a car & a pick-up.
I flipped around & went back, as did the car & the pick-up. the truck was driven by a kid maybe 16 or 17, the...
