On the subject of Twitter, @Bird_Sounds is way more entertaining than @GeoffreyCubbage, but you should follow both.

Here we go -- too lengthy to tweet; too insignificant to blog, and writing you guys letters is such hard work.  Perfect LJ material:

Beers.  I've been thinking about them.  Not in my usual "this tastes good"/"this tastes like poop but I am poor so yum yum yum poop" way, but about the bizarre merry-go-round of buyouts and mergers that creates "local ( Read more... )

Latest in my collection of social networking tools I don't actually like much but need for work:  Twitter.  I kept it easy on people and went with @GeoffreyCubbage.  Some of the random thoughts that would normally go here are probably headed that way, but I'll try to save some good stuff for y'alls.

So if you don't like Mr. Darcy and his brooding ilk, are there actually any lustable men in classic Western literature?  Other than a few side-characters and pseudo-historical figures, I haven't really been able to dredge any genuine hunks out of my well-read memory. 

The English language needs a word for that feeling you get when you've recieved an injury that you know is about to hurt like hell, but hasn't started hurting yet.  "Anticipation" just doesn't do it justice, and "trepidation" feels a little too calculated, like you're weighing potentially bad outcomes instead of acknowledging that your life is ( Read more... )

Has anyone out there got a copy of Knights of the Old Republic or the sequel that I could borrow for a bit?  The Mac version would be extra love, but I can manage with PC if it comes to that -- there's some potential blogging work related to the new Star Wars MMO that I'd like to take a shot at, and playing through the old games a few times would ( Read more... )

 I never thought I'd be trying to confirm their continued existence, but does anyone have a digital (or print, I suppose) copy of a photo where I'm wearing Kelsey's old schoolgirl outfit?  I know I wore it at least twice, and there were some photos, none of which (strange mercies) have made it onto Facebook.  And now, of course, I have a use for ' ( Read more... )

 Between the blog (the real one, not this LJ) and the Google Knol articles, some 15,000 to 20,000 people have read or at least looked at my writing.  The internet is exactly as scary and vast as that number is insignificant and pathetic.  

Upon re-reading the Sandman comics, I've come to the conclusion that Neil Gaiman must not have dreams that are anything like mine.  Or most people's, unless I'm the only person that dreams about other human beings, which are notably absent from his Dream's staff of creatures and nightmares ( Read more... )

 I apologize to the handful of gay men out there with legitimate speech impediments, but if you lisp at me I will not dance with you.
