car update: it is a total loss. yucko. anyone wanna go car
shopping tomorrow?
michelle
thinks i'm psychic. oooooOOOooooo. spooky. should i explain how i know when
she links to me? naaaah. being psychic is much more fun. what can i tell you
about michelle's linking habits? she logs into a machine named cypher at wpi
a lot. . . in fact, i would guess that she's checking this page now. just
after 10. but she's not at cypher now. . .
more linky strangeness in my referrer logs: someone was searching
for "pictures of weird things." oh, you won't find that on the net. no
sirree!

thank you so much for all the support about my accident. i really
appreciate it. current guess from my favorite mechanic is that the car is probably
not totalled. this is good news. i forgot the camera, so no pictures of my
car for you. this has all resulted in some pretty good, well. . . results
for me. i am catching up on sleep, working from home (so i get more done in
less the time), and my apartment is spiffy clean. you will even be happy to know that i have finally
unpacked all those boxes that were stacked up in my hallway since i moved
here.
don't forget! mw repertory theatre company,
etc. presents their fall prodution of the doctor is in and the
really hip adventures of go-go girl tonight, tomorrow, and saturday at
8pm in kinnicut hall in salisbury labs at wpi. as dani says,
"Cute Girls. Mini Skirts. GoGo Boots. And they are going to tell you to
never fall in love. It can't get much better than this."

so i am having a blah day. so seann sends me
this pokemon music
video. which made me laugh a great deal. seann rocks my world.
this is not a day for working. this is a day for sitting in comfy
chairs with hot cocoa reading good books and discussing philosophy with good friends. and walking around in the rain singing
del shannon's runaway.
sorry. unmotivated today.

more on the cute little gymnast. she has her own official website. but it loads so damn
slow! photos. woo.
interesting rant about the oil issue over at loony.org. i recently discovered this site,
and i really enjoy reading it. he's got a great sarcastic style.
watched more olympics last night. the gymnastic commentators have
sunk to new lows this year. nbc's coverage is generally crappy, and the official web site is less than
great. but on to more important things. elise
ray. she's 18. and she listens to the dixie chicks. i'm doomed.

tivo is holding an essay contest. jason kottke entered and won. it's
fabulous.
good grief. some people have no sense of humor. nbc
was forced to pull a nike ad that had a chainsaw weilding bad guy chasing a
woman due to viewer response. i saw the commerical during the olypics
the other night, and i thought it was pretty damn silly. i did find the
elephant one disturbing, though. you can download
the chainsaw ad over at adcritic.com. here's some more
info about it, with a possible explanation of the viewer response.

chub club update: apparently, this was the final week of the

a few more flavor updates:

dibble: jalapeno.
mick: licorice.

[warning! nostalgic mushiness ahead! proceed at your own
risk!]
spent an interesting evening last night. . . did laundry,
listened to jazz, and went through a mess of boxes that have been stashed
away since i moved here. [we won't mention how long ago that was.] found the
all important stack of letters from friends forgotten and loves lost. it was
a nice reminder. it made me smile. and, for the first time ever, i did not
read them wondering "what if." i am in a good place right now. i've been
found. and my heart is whole.
a few more flavors:
jeremy: pink
grapefruit. [i think]
jessica: blueberry.
dani: cinnamon. explosive and utterly
red-hot.
justin: peppermint.
heather: licorice.
so in the store last night i saw a card. well, i saw several. i
saw one in particular that sort of scared me. the front was a picture of
scantily clad folks around a campfire looking miserable. the front read, "i
would share my rat with you. [insert 2 other survivor inspired things that i
don't remember here.]" the inside read, "and i would never ever kick you off
the island." for some reason, this worries me a great deal.
lack
of sleep is bad for you. well, duh. but this part caught my eye: "They
suggest that staying awake for 18 hours without sleep can be the same as
drinking to the legal limit." 18 hours?? good grief. that's nothing. the
whole freeking world is drunk. [via swallowing taacks]
this is kind of silly. sheep game. [via /usr/bin/girl]
this story over at

i suddenly have this strange urge to call up someone and sing the
partridge family's "i think i love
you". . . so i called. but i didn't sing. cause i am a big chicken shit
oh yes indeedie.
this is so hip. i am getting flavors from all kinds of people i
didn't even know read this. i appreciate the feedback! so, feel free to tell
me what you like, don't like, pass along links, whatever. again, contact
info is over on the left. [i don't put handy e-mail links because i am
attempting to avoid the evil spambots.]
the grand flavor tally [let me
know what flavor you are and i'll add your results]:
+ me: pink grapefruit.
+ dan: jalepeno.
+ jony: pink grapefruit.
+ truss: vanilla [emode says "Pleasant,
fresh, and comforting, you're as tasty as they come." but truss thinks it's
a veiled put down.]
+ andrew: mocha [in other news, andrew's celebrity
match is richard simmons.]
+ kim: peppermint. fresh, classic, &
crisp.
+ michelle: blueberry.
natural, sweet, and a little sporty.
+ sarah: blueberry.
+ steve: peppermint.
+ haywire: licorice. powerful, strong,
and edgy.
+ david: mocha.
they're dropping

hmmmmm. . . pink? fruit? this requires further study. let me know what your

why the human race is doomed, case 2 in a series: i sent in a
bill to get paid. it is in the amount of $7972. the person who processes the
invoices sends me an e-mail stating that the purchase order only has $2074
left in it, and she recommends that i issue an amendment for $8000 to cover
the invoice. math is hard.

this olympics halfway
around the world stuff is already annoying. opening ceremonies are over, but
because of the time difference, it was like 4am here. nbc is airing them tonight. but on npr this morning, they had a big story with
all the details about what happened. don't tell me this! i want to watch it!
and i can just see this getting worse. we'll hear about who won events
before we get to watch them here. kind of ruins the suspense.
dandan martins has just lovely things to
say about me over in the friends section on his page. he is convinced
that i hate him, though. i don't understand why. he says i keep linking to his
page. i would think that's a good thing. but i guess he's not real happy with the design and wants to improve it. but till then, take a
look at dan's page.
michelle
also has really nice things to say about me. she's hip. glad i could help!

clinton
and castro shake hands. "It's incomprehensible just thinking that the
president of the greatest and strongest and most beautiful democracy in the
world would dirty his hands by shaking this dictator's hand soaked with the
blood of political dissidents and innocent freedom fighters," fumed Rep.
Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla. Cuban American National Foundation spokeswoman
Ninoska Perez said, "One can only think that the same stupidity made him
[Clinton] have sex with Monica Lewinsky." jesus christ! what was the man
supposed to do? pretend he didn't see him standing there?!? castro cooties. i
can't see you. . . ooh lookie what's over there! he's the president, not a
freeking 6 year old. wait a sec. . . and the "same stupidity made him have
sex with monica??" the article says he just turned around and there castro
was with his hand out. yeah. same thing happened with monica. he just
happened to turn around one day in the oval office and she was there on her
knees with her mouth open and it was just a natural response to stick his
dick in her mouth. gah.
gah. cdnow classifies
soundtracks as movie.tv stuff and broadway shows under vocals/theatre. so
broadway albums aren't on sale. and i was hoping to expand my collection. i
do not listen to only show tunes. shut up.
got e-mail from cdnow this
morning. they are having a soundtrack and video sale. one of the things they
"recommend" is: Survivor, The Official Soundtrack to the Hit CBS TV Series
($12.58): Relive the days of Tagi and Pagong with the new-age drums and
chants of the main title theme, "Ancient Voices" - extended version
included. um, no thanks.
a prayer to the sox: please,
sox, play well in the upcoming series against the evil ones. may your pitches be
strikes, your bats be swift, and your errors none. and above all - try not
to suck. thank you.
apparently, there is a theatre
company in germany that does hugely technical productions on stage.

i saw this on the news this morning. sing-a-long-a-sound of music. they
show the movie. with the words to the songs kareoke style. and they
encourage the audience to sing a long. and dress up. for $20. gah. my mom
would love this. too bad it's only listed in nyc for the us tour. . .
this is my
most underlying issue with organized religion. the "my religion is better
