memeage, from butterflyfish:you are darkredviolet#600B40Your dominant hues are red and magenta. You love doing your own thing and going on your own adventures, but there are close friends you know you just can't leave behind. You can influence others on days when you're patient, but most times you just want to go out, have fun, and do your own thing...

Posted on November 12, 2008
yay for connecticut, and congrats to all the happy couples!and, a message to the idiot in the article who said that this was a judicial coup and that there needed to be a referendum of the people on the issue? there was. if you remember correctly, sir, last week there was a ballot referendum asking whether there would be a constitutional convention in connecticut...

carnivalesque posted this in her journal. it's long, but worth watching...it's Keith Olbermann rather astutely commenting on the cruelty and absurdity of proposition 8.

alarm clocks

Posted on November 11, 2008
most of the spam e-mail i get advertises penis pills, government grants, and fake online degrees. so, you can imagine that it sounded like a breath of fresh air to see an e-mail in my spam box with the following headline:The best alarm-clock for your male friend that will wake him up easily...

i'm old. i really fooled that guy.

i was in line at the drug store this evening. near the checkout, they've got a fixture of one of the eighty million guitar hero knockoff games that have sprung up. the box proclaims that there are just three steps to rocking out:1. practice!2. rehearse!3...

a fortuitous mutation?

Posted on November 10, 2008
this is cool. there's no other way to put it.sure, it's just one person so far, but maybe, just maybe, this may be a fruitful avenue for eventually treating AIDS.

i did stuff!

Posted on November 09, 2008
this morning, i raided circuit city's store closing sale, and scored a digital camera [with a functioning flash, unlike my other one], a computer headset [with a wire that is fully insulated, and not shorting out], and headphones for my ipod [again, with wires that are fully insulated and not crackling in my ears...

proposition 8

Posted on November 05, 2008
i'm reading a news article about proposition 8, california's gay marriage ban amendment. in the article, there are quotes from people on each side of the issue. from the people who support the ban, there are the comments about how we need to define marriage as one man and one woman to protect the broader morals of society, to protect the children, the same vagaries that are always spouted to gloss over the hard fact that this is an amendment that defines certain relationships as being more legitimate than others...

yummy yummy meme time

jonathan lee riches © sued sarah palin.and it's three pages of pure brilliance:"Palin stole Joe Biden's Wilmington Trust debit card and secretly built a bridge to nowhere to Russia to learn foreigh policy.""Since I been in prison, Sarah Palin used imminent domain and Todd Palin's BP working cronies to steal artifacts from my home and place them in the Alaska state museum...

excuse me???

this editorial disgusts me more than anything i've read in an extremely long time.***first of all, criticizing america doesn't mean that people hate the country. it merely means that they admit that it's not perfect. there are oceans between pointing out the flaws in something and hating it...

where did i shove that lawyer...

Posted on November 04, 2008
on eHow.com, there's a page discussing how to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy for a business. as on all of the eHow pages, it contains a list of necessary tools for doing the desired task. the list on this page entertains me greatly:Things You?ll Need:Bankruptcy lawyerRecords of debt and company assets i'm used to these "things you need" lists on eHow containing common household items like scissors, yarn, tape, paper...

my condolences.

this section should exist at your local card shop:[from this week's New Yorker.]if i were the least bit artistic, and somewhat less mean, i would totally occupy this niche.

president obama.he won't be a magic panacea, but i honestly believe that he'll point us in a better direction than mccain would. i wasn't convinced that a mccain administration would do anything much differently from the bush administration. whereas, we're more likely to have wider access to health care under an obama administration...

an "online patient services company" in Minnesota has a rather, ummmm, special idea for a mascot:that's right: Petey P Cup. their mascot is a walking urine sample.and, if that's not enough to get you banging your head against the nearest desk, wall, or other hard surface, Petey P Cup has a friend named Pokey the Syringe...
