who?
+ my name is dawn
+ my domain is gweep.net
+ you do the math
|
|
what?
+ a place to keep the silly web pages that find their way into
my ever changing .plan
+ i code this all by hand at the moment
+ eventually, this page will migrate to danarchy.net where we
are working on a better design so i don't have to code all by hand
+ i used to keep this info in a pseudo blog on my computer
before i got around to setting up the webpage. i knew eventually, it would
become a real live blog
+ hence the name, eventual blog

happy halloween
speaking of new albums, melissa ferrick reportedly has a double live cd coming out in
december.
the bobs new cd, coaster, is done! you still
can't order it, but you can download some mp3s from it. that
is, of course, unless your firewall has taken to blocking mp3s. bad
firewall!
a quiz that gives
you suggestions for halloween costumes based on your personality. good god,
can no one make any decision for themselves anymore? besides, one of the
options it came up with for me was a disney princess. [via weblog wannabe]

could it be? could i actually get my car today? i'll
believe it when i am driving it home.
well, it's
over.
apparently, someone hacked the yankees official site after they won last
night, and put a nasty picture on it. nasty in a yankees suck kind of way.
supposedly, you can still see what it
looked like. but i am scared to check, because it was described as
"Really, really nasty. Not for viewing at work or if there are small
children within 12 miles of your present location." [via metafilter]
chris carter explains the x-files in a hidden track on the movie

gee. that explained. . . nothing. although i am really suprised that this is

britney

hm. could've sworn (swore?) i posted this one before. . . willy wonka and the

should have posted in the eventual blog a long time
ago. thank you.
i think i had this one posted before but if not, here it is: doyle for congress. ah
yes. i had linked to an interview
with him back in july.

more old stuff from e-mail: heather sent
along this article a while back: do you
leave your mobile phone on during sex? my response was pretty much the
same as heather's. which would you rather have happen? have the slight
possibility that the phone rings during sex? or, just as things get really
hot and heavy, have your partner say, "oh- just a sec. gotta go turn off the
phone." [and oh, the search hits i am going to get for that one. . .

the clinton

oops.
this goes down as officially weird. take a look at the source

another weird site for the day: dyemyhair.com. [via swallowing tacks]
the first installment in achieving my goal from 10.18: andrew had
sent these a while back. at the time, i had read about the mr. t vs everything
website [which apparently no longer exists] but hadn't looked at it. but
andrew pointed out that there was a mr. t vs deep
blue, mr.t vs
c3po, and, of course, mr. t vs britney
spears.
another 10.18 goal linkie: AstroCappella:

ContactAliens.com. send
an e-mail message to an extra terrestrial. um, sure. . . [via andrew]
back in september, heather sent along a story about geek
chic: wearable computers. but the story had no pictures. she did some
digging, and came up with a photo of the LightGlove. of course,
you can't really see the mouse, but the rest of the outfit kicks ass. you
can view other stuff designed by charmed
technologies as part of their brave new unwired world. but you'll
need a fast connection.

so i am supposed to get my car today. and there is this big
insurance crapola that i have to sort that out. so the wonderful michelle comes and takes me
to the dealer so i can sort out the insurance crap. and while there, i find
out that my car has a defect in the paint on the top. so they want to find
me a new car. could this whole process be any more difficult? luckily, my
sales rep convinces them to give me a loaner car until they find me the new
one. at least that part has turned out ok. . .
see? bush is a big liar,
too. [via backup brain]

then there are those people who think that a subway
series will mean an end to life as we know it. [via truss]
heh. it's the 17th. i forgot to change the date till just now.
why didn't someone tell me?
car stuff is finally falling into place. . . yeah!
wow. one game away
from a subway series. this could get entertaining. . .
re: the b5 thing. apparently they were originally filmed in
widescreen but never shown that way. all cgi was developed for the tv. so
now they are re-doing a lot of the cgi fo the widescreen format. i see.
now it's cool.
ok. someone please splain to me this widescreen b5 on sci fi thing.
were the episodes originally filmed in widescreen? or have they just
stretched them out to be widescreen? cause if it's the latter, thats just
dumb. why bother? it's not like you're suddenly going to see stuff that got
cropped out of the picture before. . . i don't get it.
the folks running for president that no one has ever heard of are
all going to debate.
cool.

they found me the car i want. this is the one that is $1000 over
invoice. what do i do??
having proxy server issues today. . .
loony.org's week in review has a
great comment on the bush/cheney ticket. it's like the 9th picture in.
there's a good one about the state of politics in general. and a gore one,
too.
i was hoping that this article was actually
going to have some useful information about what presidents do. but it
didn't really. just more analysis of bush vs. gore and foreign policy.
so, i am car shopping. i am currently planning on getting a honda civic
ex. one dealer is offering the 2001 model for $1000 over invoice, which
is $700 less than MSRP, and they don't haggle. another dealer i went to
haggles, but it took me 2 hours to get a price out of them and it was over
the msrp, so i left. good, bad, what? the only other car i've ever bought
was a saturn, so there is no
haggling. thoughts, suggestions are welcome.

why the human race is doomed, case 6 in a series: apparently, the
chaos caused by jerry springer on his show just wasn't entertainment enough.
so he's taken the show on the road. he seeks out white trash in their native
environment, throws in a pinch of "did you know x has been sleeping with y"
or similar fun news, and then video tapes as the sparks fly.

gays
make the best parents. "Studies worldwide reveal that today's homosexual
totally kicks straight butt when it comes to roosting and rearing -- in
categories of competency and nurturing." "For us to become parents we really
have to want kids because we have to find sperm, sign contracts and then
justify our decisions 20 times to everyone we meet. It's never like,
'Whoops, we got sloppy with the turkey baster last night.' There is no such
thing as an accidental child of a lesbian couple. If all children were as
wanted as the children of lesbians, we'd live in a pretty fucking amazing
world." boo. yea. it's long, but worth the read. very interesting.

i know i spell scarey wrong. i do it consistently pretty much on
