Yikes, just read the big hubbub around the former Nana set. I only saw a portion of it before, and completely missed the symbolism that was brought up on the various posts about it. A bit late to be adding my two cents, I realize, but I am going to have to side with SG on this one. Their site: their right. While I agree...

I like that your name has played a large enough part of your personality that you identify as a "palndromer."

This makes me giggle.

I feel a bit of lack, and something roils in me at this longing. There are times when you think that you've figured out what it is you long for, but always there's some surprise, some tricky glimmer hiding behind that thin, smokey black veil that blinds you and binds you and twists in on you until you breath it and fill your lungs with...

I had a lengthy and odd dream last night, and the night before. In the dream of the night former, I was in a hotel in Las Vegas, with my family, but as I wandered about the city with them they kept disregarding me to the point that I eventually returned to our hotel, where I became horribly bored after a while and then became...

Finally, Jennifer Lopez might have given me a reason for living, and that reason is, Feel the Noise.

That is all.

My life is amusing, I must say. I'm in a terrific position, and things really seem to be unfolding in my favor quite happily, and yet, still, I have reason to be concerned.
What do you do when someone that you love deeply and have invested a significant amount of time in gives you reason to believe that they take part in activities that make...

Norah Zehetner is a very pretty young actress, who looks frighteningly like a young woman I had a severe crush on in college. I guess it's no great wonder I think she's pretty.
Woof, still gotta figure out how to get my rent together. Going to have to make some phone calls tomorrow.
Tonight, I learned where most things in downtown Los Angeles are while...

I'm laughing like River in Early's ship. Sometimes you get those glimpses, no matter if your life is good or bad at the given time, into the things that really, truly lie underneath the lives we all live, and take so massively for granted. They pop up in patches of music, the flicker of lights through your side-window while you drive down the highway at...

Good day, today. Maybe I should wait until 7:00 PM to get out of bed more often, for as soon as I woke up, money fell from the sky, as did a job offer, and a communique from my friend that I've been worried about. What's more, I heard from another friend I've had trouble getting in touch with lately who's going to take a...

I'm very worried about one of my very favorite people in the world, to whom I can only communicate with online, and who has, without warning, vanished from the radar for almost two weeks now. With anybody else, I wouldn't be so pre-emptively concerned, but this is a special case...
Other than that, things are getting pretty sad around here in general. Despite managing a...

Throughout my life I've been alarmed at how easily people simply "put off" things like keeping in touch. Now granted this is certainly a two-way street. And it makes little sense to cast blame entirely on the other individual in these situations. One might suggest that at least half of the responsibility is mine. And thus thinking back to friendships that I once considered my best... who I've now not talked to in years... its a bit sad. Especially so because of that odd feeling that the MORE time goes by, the more awkward re-establishment becomes. Sort of a self-perpetuating cop-out.

Like others here on this website, I have "friends" here that my only contact with is via the internet. And while it might be disappointing, I suppose I am never genuinely alarmed at not hearing from any of them for a certain amount of time. There are a handful of folks here who I've traded telephone numbers and addresses with, however. Including one SG (who I'd never really feel comfortable enough to call anyhow based on her situation. I consider the number swap more of a politeness). And another SG, Kiora, I'll send a couple of postcards to once I figure out how much the postage is to Sweden. Still... if I am at a point where I'd feel real concern from not hearing from someone for a period of time, I think I'd want to establish a method of communication beyond email or IMs.

Being in debt sucks. It took me a long time to crawl out of the hole I dug for myself in my early 20s. Hey but just think... you're broke in paradise. wink

I'm out of money. Huh. Where did that go?
Wow, I really, badly need to find some P.A. work.

Something like Nevr Dull?
jormagund:
We also used a product called "Brasso" when I was in the Marine Corps. That came in liquid form and you'd apply it with a rag. Then buff it out.

I almost forgot these two products because once I was out of boot camp, we pretty much all purchased anodized metal anyhow so polishing wasn't much of an issue.

I happen to have some Nevr Dull in my truck so I'll give that a try on the sword next time I go home.
