Just a comment in regards to your statement in Stacie's journal about large flightless birds having a "killer" feeling about them...
Ya gotta figure, these things ARE descended from dinosaurs, with the closest "old-school-dino" relative being the Velociraptor. Flightless birds aren't all that far off from shifting fully back into that model.
(Useless bit of paleontological trivia: about 20 million years ago in Florida, there actually WAS a flightless bird that had shifted back into Velociraptor mode. Thing's name was Titanis, and the wings had reformed into arms, complete with functional fingers, and the feet had the Velociraptor-style ripper claws. Only real differences between it & Velociraptor were that Titanis didn't have the long-lizard-type tail, and it had a big-ass eagle-type beak rather than teeth. Oh, and Titanis was bigger... 10 feet tall.)

Our home alarm system went off at 1:30 this morning. "A malfunction" the security people tell us.
Swell. first time I've actually fallen asleep before 11 in months and the stupid alarm has me running down the stairs in my underwear, katana in hand ready to deal out justice, and it's the fucking alarm having a "boo boo".

The only bad thing about our alarm system is that we have to turn the motion detector off because the dog trips it when she walks up and down the stairs. We learned that by coming home from dinner to find a cop waiting for us.
It's snowing there? Fuck. I wish I was there. It was eighty-seven here yesterday and today is supposed to be hotter. I hate the heat. I want snow, dammit.
The Italian Girl sent me a voicemail where she did her Vanilla Ice impression of his reason why the bass line in "Ice Ice Baby" wasn't the same as in "Under Pressure." Always makes me smile.
I understand about the marriage thing. My brother has said pretty much the same sentiments that you have.
Emotional entropy, eh? Something I'll have to give some thought to. The post was made in a fit of anger after having had the usual Mother's Day, which consists of me being sardonic and my mother crying (honestly, we have a great relationship 364 days out of the year; Mother's Day, for reasons that perhaps are best left unexplored, is the one day when we really shouldn't be around each other), and me reflecting upon all of the other times I've had to compromise because of weaker people. Hmm. That really makes me sound like a bastard.

Someone... anyone... make them stop asking me stupid questions.

On a normal day, I either have nothing to do, or too much to do. There is no middle ground.

I'm glad you got busy when I got busy. Because if I was around I would've been crazy unfullfilled.

Well you know me. I'm back to normal so I will be here. But I guess we would know what it would be like if I was actually working a real job.

That was the sweetest! Im such a romantic at heart! You're a good guy!!!Oh, yeah, I'm "officially" engaged now. No one noticed my subtle answer to a question regarding the last thing I "bought for someone". I'm sneaky that way.

Yeah man come on I'm not a loser. After I leave work I rarely come back on. I end up doing a lot of shit st home like chores, calling people and watching some TV. Weekends are the same. I'm like out the door after noon and I don't come back home until like 2am (when I can't sleep and hit the 1:05). My comments will drop...someday.
rickroyal:
Hmm. I did not notice the sly reference. Congrats, though. I do have to ask: why now? My brother recently got engaged to his long-term girlfriend. They've been living together for five years, dating for six. When he told me, I couldn't help but wonder, why get married when you're already living together. I mean, I was very happy for him and I'm glad that she'll be my sister-in-law, but I guess I just don't understand marriage.
But, anway, really congrats. She really is a cutie. I'd offer to give a speech at the reception, but...hmm.
Flames, eh? That'd be a hockey thing, right? Feh.

There is nothing new under the sun. With the death of the real, or rather with its (re)surrection, hyperreality both emerges and is already always reproducing itself. The dead are already dead; precisely more than the living which are yet alive. God himself has only ever been his own simulacrum; his own Disneyland...

Because Smuffy said I had too, I have a few questions.
1) What is the one event in your life that most made you the person you are today?
2) What is your favorite Johnny Cash song?
3) If you could snap your fingers and make any 3 Female members of the site into SuicideGirls who would you choose?
4) What is your favorite Neil Gaiman story?
5) Assume for a moment that there is a God. When you die and meet him/her, what would you like to hear god say to you when you show up?
That's it for me....thanks in advance.

The territory no longer precedes the map, nor survives it. Henceforth, it is the map that precedes the territory--precession of simulacra--it is the map that engenders the territory and if we were to revive the fable today, it would be the territory whose shreds are slowly rotting across the map. it is the real, and not the map, whose vestiges subsist here and there, in...

Hmm. Mind control would definitely be the numero uno super power that I'd want. Infinitely useful. Both for good a nefarious purposes. The other would probably be a regenerative power like Wolverine's, especially if it slowed down the aging process.
Well, at least it wasn't a journal written in Klingon discussing an error in episode E27-4.
Chicken Pot Pie doesn't require any description to be foul. Simply a disgusting food.

Good morning.
Good morning.
Yesterday as I was packing up to go home from this damnable place, somebody with administrator access thought it would be funny to pull a practical joke on me.
They had rotated a user's monitor display 180. A new one for me. Never seen that before, and I initially didn't expect this was something one would include in the functionality of a video driver.
Now,...
