My local USPS delivery woman appeared yesterday, and talked to me quite angrily. Apparently packages to my name were going to another address and I should fix it. No, she did not know anything about the packages, just that I should fix it. Her look was like one of those Japanese grandmothers who is about to pull out a Broom Artifact of Smiting ( Read more... )

"I walked the walk for you, babe
Eight thousand miles for you
I dried your tears of pain
Eight million times for you

I’d sell my soul for you, babe
For money to burn for you
I’d give you all and have nothing
Just-a, just-a, just-a, just-a
to have you here by me, because"
*sigh*
Such is the extent of my insanity, my codependence, and my sheer ( Read more... )

Earth Hour is coming up. I don't know where it came from, or why it is not part of Earth Day, but the lights in big cities supposedly go out from 8:30-9:30 tonight. Here in the SF area, at least. I'm in a good enough mood not to wonder what would happen in a city that spans time zones or even DST weirdness. Gonna head out to the nearby park and ( Read more... )

Oh, yes, the final episode is finally out. 15 hours ago but I was sleeping then. Sometimes life hurls daggers at you and you happen to see one with a shiny apple and deftly catch it in your mouth. I know what my treats for tonight are.
Blueberry sorbet. Opening the amethyst custom ring from the goddess Cinders. And finishing Psycho Pass.

"In what city was your first child born?" -- damned if I know yet.
"Where did you attend 6th grade?" -- I skipped thats grade.
"What was the name of your first pet?" -- see question #1.
C'mon, dude, let me pick my own questions. If I screw myself over that's my fault. Otherwise any questions I can answer validly can be determined by knowing me ( Read more... )

The morning news had a story about how San Jose is cleaning up homeless encampments. However, the gloriously charming writer gave the reporter this opening line: "There are homeless people living on the street.".
I must admit that it was early enough my first thought was simply *blink*. The mind finally engaged and I cried out in a dry voice " ( Read more... )

So I had some Shanghaiese food for lunch. Not exactly what I wanted since ong choi is seasonal, but it made for a nice change. The trouble is the leftovers. They did not include chopsticks and I am woefully unstocked in the chopstick department.
Maybe it is because I first learned chopsticks with Chinese food, but aside from soups it feels ( Read more... )

So what would happen if a deviant freak like me wrote the time on a marriage certificate to be at 2:30am today*? Of course it cannot be filed because courts are closed, but drop it off on Monday and see if you can find a dull-witted sleep-deprived clerk to enter it into evidence. At some time it will be entered into a computer, which will happily ( Read more... )

I attended my second pagan meeting (as in, most people in attendance are pagan, but they're very open) last night. It was fun! Fun in the sense of being with people who discuss issues large and small, bounce back and forth, and both know and accept that they are crazy. Much like the people I met at bad movie night, or cool nerds, or not quite ( Read more... )

I have yet to install any image editing software on Laptop Primus. It is probably time to get some. Win7/64.
All I really do is crop things, select similar color regions, and apply gamma or brightness/contrast or level or hue changes within the regions. Blur and sharpen are nice too. Creating pixel-level icons like I use here is nice. Ergo, I ( Read more... )
