For the few people reading this who have never actually met me, there is no way in any of the 37* levels of hell anyone could ever mistake me for being black. Not that I'm Scandinavian or anything (I'm actually darker than most white people), but I exhibit absolutely none of the behaviors or mannerisms that are normally associated with someone who ( Read more... )

So I just had an AIM window pop up from some random person with the line, "Don't be a sourpuss!" The person denied starting the interaction, rather saying that I had. I'm not on his contact list, nor is he on mine. Nor do we apparently have any reason to have crossed paths. Anyone else experiencing anything like this? For the moment I'm ( Read more... )

It's been a while since I posted, so here's a quick rundown of events since Interfuse ( Read more... )

...or something...

And a quote: "You'd think her face was the virgin Mary's cunt, the way Jesus keeps coming out of her mouth."

I was headed home from campus following lab, and had just rounded the corner from Iowa onto 6th headed east, when coming out of the grass on that corner and trotting easily across all five lanes of 6th street ambles a coyote, who then disappears down the north side of 6th, towards where Iowa comes out underneath the overpass ( Read more... )

Alternate sets of lyricsI heard the Jolly Rogers do it first, and more recently the Dropkick Murphys. It wasn't one of the JR songs that originally grabbed me, it was only on one of my cross-country drives that I actually listened to it for the first time, and got thoroughly sucked into it. I can't think of any other more ( Read more... )

Well, I tried, in any case.

In other news, lesbian koala orgy. Further evidence that critters behave strangely when you remove them from their natural environment. Or just further evidence of how brain-damaged koalas are in general. That's what comes from eating too many neurotoxic leaves.

I saw a bumper sticker on the way in this morning that said (maybe not verbatim, but really close), "Fight like a real man/Get on your knees and pray". I don't get it. I mean, it's obviously a Christian thing, and that may well be why I don't get it, but that's not fighting in any sense. It's not even turning the other cheek, Gandhi style. At ( Read more... )

Maybe some of you who use iTunes can play with this and confirm it for me. Periodically at the end of a song, I'll try to back it up to the beginning, to play it again, by clicking the beginning of the progress bar. Three times now, apparently I've hit it at exactly the right time. In addition to starting the same song over, it also starts ( Read more... )

So this morning on the way into the Museum, I run into a friend-of-a-friend that I haven't seen in probably a year. For a while she intensely disliked me, but then she apparently forgot who I was, and defaulted back to being nice, and has been so the last few times I've run into her ( Read more... )
