This morning I have just been sitting around listening to my Bauhaus cds. I have to say their cover of "Waiting for the man" sucks greatly!! I must go to the shops soon and get myself food and stuff to last another week.

The other day while I was buying black nail varnish and a new ring in a small alternative clothing retailer around the...

Men an Tol.. I loved that place, even though I blame it for getting me pregnant (okok it was my fault- Im the one who stripped naked and crawled through the hole.. but I wasnt exactly asking for that sort of fertility!) Fond memories.

Ahem.. anyways, yes I know that some of the best Occultists out there are and have been from Catholic (or Church of England) background. I think it instills one with a profound sense of discipline, ritual and ceremony, even though we dont agree with the tenets of the faith.

The little diatribe was not written in any real sort of anger- Ive long since gotten past that. It was more tongue and something for people to read and either laugh at or get pissed off about.
I do kinda feel sorry for the old guy though.. not much, but kinda. Im more worried about the guy whos going to take his place once JP2 finally knocks off.
I dont believe the 'burning times' of 'The Inquisition' are in the past and dead, and the more I watch fanaticism and religious fundamentalism spread and gather power, especially in the States, the more I feel I'm right about this.

yeah zelator,
i think most people find dating an annoying and humiliating ritual more than anything else... so why do we all subject ourselves to it? there has got to be a better way... cocktail parties? mass orgies? i donno... maybe i'm old fashioned but i'd rather meet someone the old fasioned way like at a party or in a coffee shop. is that to much to ask? gaaaahhhhh!
as for the barbie orgy essay, i have a bunch of it in my journal but its going on the back burner till i write this danm children's play for my work. gaaaaah! when i am a great and famous playwright it will all be worth it.
hope all is well,

I had a bit of a shock when I tried logging on to Suicide Girls today. Each time I tried logging in, the site kept taking back to the main page but without logging me in. After staring at the "First Time Here..." etc stuff about joining the site for as little as $4 per month which the main page displays to none members, I...

hey thanks for the encouraging words.
the younger generation needs to mobilize and fast!
or else we really will be letting our grandparent's bigoted generation rule us.
a friends of mine said, "this election effects the whole world, so the whole world should have been allowed to vote in it."
i think if other countries had a say, we'd have a different prez. right now.
oh well...

It is time for Poetry Corner again.

Just Once by Anne Sexton

Just once I knew what life was for.
In Boston, quite suddenly, I understood;
walked there along the Charles River,
watched the lights copying themselves,
all neoned and strobe-hearted, opening
their mouths as wide as opera singers;
counted the stars, my little campaigners,
my scar daisies, and knew that I walked my love...

I love Chick tracts!!

Honestly, are these things meant to be tongue-in-cheek? Ok, I know that Chick Tracts are meant to be taken seriously, but they have been providing me with endless fun and laughter for longer than you would believe and I just have to mention them here in tribute to the continuing comic genius of Jack Chick.

Jeeze your gonna kill me for filling your journal space, just think of the paper we save and not the electricity we waste.
One more consideration; Well, as a scientist myself, (adjust glasses and pin protector) skin pigment is a balance between predisposition of melanin production and exposure of sunlight. The skin metabolizes vitamin D with the aid of sunlight. Humans need vitamin D and sunlight. Populations at the equator natural selected greater pigment for protection from the sun, while populations at the poles naturally selected to maximize vitamin D production. Within genetic predisposition, pigment production varies with exposure. More sun the darker the skin; less sun the paler, until environmental and nutritional conditions are balanced. Slavery began when inhumanity began; white/black are simplistic labeling and divisive tools. The most recent incarnation is a reminder for it to never happen again. (Toward an egalitarian enlightened democracy) I still like the more poetic rendition.

Check out this link (thanks to my housemate for happening to find this link and for passing it on to me)...

God Hates Figs

It is a rather amusing spoof website which mocks the way in which Christian Fundmentalists love to quote The Bible to prove that Gods hates this, that or the other.

Having just seen Scylla's thread about Alex Grey I have just done a search for his website.

Check out this link

His paintings are very much on keeping with my own metaphysical interests. I am soooo bowled over. What a great Bank Holiday weekend this has turned out to be!!!

Yesterday, out of the blue, I kind-of got offered a job in a health food shop!

I was doing my Saturday morning shopping and I decided to treat myself to a spending spree at the local health food shop. I piled my purchases on the counter. While I was paying for my purchases the nice elderly gentleman who was serving, commented upon how I seemed...
