The power tended to fluctuate here when I put it up, going out for a little burst every 2-3 weeks due to something or another (rain, snow, being glared at by a pretty girl, being looked at by a pretty boy, being smiled at by a girl who would look prettier if she wasn’t wearing makeup and making eyes to wear down the defenses of a half-awake stoner ( Read more... )

If there's anything that I've become particularly sensitized to, it's postmodernist bullshit, to the point where I conversationally refer to the shit as "po-mo" only if I intend on dragging most of the sounds out in a sneer that would make Billy Idol blush. I am, as I might explain in an entry apart from this one, very much against the suggestion ( Read more... )

Possibly, the only things worse than the rationalizing, self-enabling addicts are the quitters. I don't mean people who, after a struggle, manage to quit something that was destroying them. I am referring to people who half-try at every single thing that could possibly help them out. Give them a 12-step program, and they'll stop at Step 4. They ( Read more... )

I want to note, before we continue, that my good friend (I want to call him a good friend, anyway, in that he is good at being a friend, at least, and because I'll break down crying later if you don't wait to tell me otherwise) Howard managed to remind me that SIEMENS (still a ridiculous name for a company) makes fashionable hearing aids, although ( Read more... )

This one actually is going to tap into some cultural considerations and decision-making mechanisms that won't be fully discussed, here. If they were, this would be the length of a fucking book, as opposed to several small introductions to the rage that everyone's been trying to force as clearly part of my character. Looks like you got your wish, ( Read more... )

There really is, isn't there?

I mean, never mind that the person is an awful human being, or honestly quite hideous due to not taking care of himself/herself at all (see Airing of Grievances, Vol. 1): One look from those eyes, especially with a smile, and we're supposed to just bow to that person's will.

We all are completely aware of the value of ( Read more... )

Thanks to a bit of better down-conversions, we get the return of this image... along with another from the same shoot.  I bet you're thrilled.

One of the first things I ask someone when they're whining about being tired doesn't even have anything to do with whether they exercise, or what they eat, or how frequently they do either, let alone sleep:

It's about when they last had water, and how much.

I always get this weird look when I ask the question to someone who hasn't heard me ask them ( Read more... )

(Once again, these are not ranked: The numbers are present in order to help me keep track while editing the content, and to keep things straight during and after posting. There'd be some pretty absurd ties and/or upsets if I actually ranked even what I had so far, ¡let alone what's to come!)

So, there's a clear absence that's been screaming out ( Read more... )

Give me the excuse, and I have officially fucking heard it, in regards to aerobic exercise, the lack thereof, and particularly why running is such a fucking horrible thing to do...

...or so it's said. Like anything, it can be, if you do it like a total asshole. I heard the blast beat synchronicity of multiple people clicking their mice in getting ( Read more... )
