The Complete anonymity of the web
It is amazing how completely anonymous you can be on the web, all the while speaking nothing but the truth. You can give your full name, home address and telephone number, and the dearest secrets of your darkest heart (yes, it was I who slapped the Kaiser's horse, not Bismark, thus sending the Kaiser charging into a battle that was as yet undecided) and no one will know. The secret: be one of the kajillion other people doing the same, and in the deluge of personal data, sexual scores, record of what sort of tea you had to today, and epic bad poetry, you will be rendered completely invisible.
The thing with blogs is, you have to be publicly known for something, or part of a circle of girlfriends who support each other by religiously following each others blogs to add 3-4 word comments that like a code, are responded to in like form. I have neither. Despite working for 13 years in film and television, I have managed by bad choices, bad behavior, and general depression, to alienate and offend most of the people around me. The end result is, I am virtually invisible. Like the Emperor's New Clothes on steroids - people not only make a point of pretending to see what is not there, but to pretend not to see what is there as well.
So... wanna hear what I'm wearing? Oooh baby, it's so hot. Jammies... or what works as jammies (red pyjama bottoms with a grey stripe down the legs, and a red tshirt with a black collar. Yeah, I know: I can't make it sound sexy if I tried.
At the moment I'm puzzling over where I got the percentages wrong in mixing silicone caulk, lighter fluid, glycerine, and acrylic paint to formulate a more easily spreadable form of silicone for mold making purposes. It may have also been a matter of temperature - the caulk had been sitting in my car trunk for a few weeks, and it was fairly warm in the house. The good news is, the addition of adding moisture via the glycerine and paint did insure a more consistant curing (since silicone cures by exposure to the moisture in the air, it tends to cure on the surface, and any silicone deeper down will promptly be sealed off from curing by the cured material above it( but the consistency never got thinner, but rather more putty like, which might work as an ersatz Oomoo like product - to be pressed over the surface of an object...handy for say taking a casting of tree bark texture, or stone, or the face off a statue.) Going to check out Douglas and Sturgess and see what their base prices are (as amazing a Smooth-On products are, they are way too pricey).
Anyway... must dash...feel a coughing fit coming on. Have I mentioned how much I hate having colds? Now there's a revelation for you...as though there are people who enjoy having colds. Gosh the internet is an amazing place...
