Could someone go take a picture of The Church of the Master
up Lake Ave in/near Charlotte for me? I forgot to take one
of it before I left. Last I saw it had a for-lease sign, which
made it even more amusing.

Coffee.
The food channel.
VH1 series-specials full of sound bites. (Come on now.
Can you beat kermit the frog making jokes about viagra?)
Communication with the oh-so-remote outside world.
Channel-surfing the MTVs past 2am.
Ground Force and Changing Rooms.
Can you tell I'm bored and spend my evenings watching
satellite? I go out for coffee for an hour or so usually just
to get out of the house, today I stayed out there for three
hours bs'ing with people and watching them play chess.
(Music entry is something everyone needs to hear.)

But that's ok. Because the reason I was up at 8:30am
was for a vaguely interview-like thing, and I have some
contract work for a little bit now. Total of actual sleep?
None. About 4 hours of vaguely paranoid semi-sleep.
My stomach is full of tasty raw fishies. Went to the new
sushi restaurant in town with my mom, sat at the sushi
bar and chatted with the chefs a little bit. Had a cute little
sashimi salad that they gave us as an appetizer and did
the usual rollsand appetizer type of deal. Huge shrimp,
very fluffy tempura.
On the way back from the interview earlier I was driving
one of the back roads home and a red lamborghini passed
the other direction. It was shortly followed by a cop car
and a cop pickup truck. Shiny!

So, tonight I decided to take apart a few computers to put
scsi into my borrowed pc. Faster better, scratch-storage
drive not ata33. It was the system disk of the dualie that
got killed the day of Car vs. Jetta. (Car lost. That's why
I have my Civic.)
Speaking of which, Saturday was the one year anniversary
of Car vs. Mercury Sable. (Car won, but needed several
thousand dollars of work.)
What I was intending to say in this little ramble, is that I
found the Guinness screensaver again. Sweet cheesy
bliss, if you want a copy send me mail.
If I do the excerpts by hand, I can make them long and
put links in them. Woo.
UPDATED: 2006-09-02 I should have updated to say something
sooner, but my hard drives are in all kinds of random places
since Katrina, and I don't even know if all of them work.
I don't know where the file is, I'm sorry. If I find it
I'll link it back to here.

I now have a machine whose sole purpose in life is to sit
around and run xdaliclock -root -cycle -24.
(For those late to the party, this is something I've been
threatening to do for years, and not gotten around to.)
One of my dead Toshiba laptops (a tecra p166 with flaky
power supply and bizarre pcmcia slots), and I'm going
to see how long it stays alive this time. I'm hopeful, it
actually rebooted without hanging, several times.

I hate those three words, so very much. The dish receiver
I'm hooked up to is awful. However it is the source of
Dead Alive at 3am.
Went by the newly opened 24-hour(!!) coffee and beignet
shop we have here, the coffee's decent so far. I wasn't
wearing black so no beignets for me.
Jordan asked for a copy of my playlist, to which I of course
responded: Umm, playlist? I don't have a playlist. I just
keep tracks on hand and search through stuff otherwise.
This reminded me to make a mix-mp3-cd of eighties doom.
Call it 88 miles per hour.

Best thing about the northeast power outage today? The
number of people I know which are/were online during
said outage due to having battery/generator backup, or
just laptops and phone lines. Skirt was even back by 8.

Okay, I know this is something akin to committing Geek
Heresy here, but really. I can't stand the show Good Eats.
I already know how to cook. The theatrics and the overly
slow instruction drive me batty. Stop with the science and
leave me the food.

Went to a newly opened sushi restaurant today, very very
good sushi, gorgeous presentation. Cross-cut crunchy
rolls looking artistic and stuff, and my dad got a sashimi
dinner thing with lots of pretty, tasty fish.
I have painted fingernails, it's odd.
The other day I armoralled the vinyl dice in my car.
Took suz out to the lakefront as it was getting dark, the
sky and the water were the same eerie shade of blue.

I think my digital camera has given up the ghost for the

it wouldn't even turn on. Tried with new batteries, even.

when i realized:
1. it's neat to put things on the web and have people really like
them, but creepy to get mail from "fans"
2. no matter how funny or smart your writing/drawings/pictures
are, 99% of people would rather see legos fuck

to quote myself in IM: please, please kill me. I'm flipping
through the program guide on my tv and just tried to process
open-channel-in-new-tab.
Nooooooooo. I knew it was bad when my mozilla broke
a while back when a power outage killed libraries, and I
tried to get by without them and went mad. Mad, mad, all
mad, all of them!
I hate computers, someone save me.

Goodbye to friendster. It just gives me the creeps.
I want to unplug. I leave you with the little 'testimonial'
that Joshie left on my profile.
Of the ages there has been a history of strong warrior
women: Helen of troy, Xena, and now Candice. When I
first met Candice I was fighting a legion of trolls over the
green, rolling hills of the kingdom. As the last green,
bucktoothed brute met my blade, I saw her standing
magestically upon the hill. Awestruck, I climbed towards
her, only to grabbed by her strong yet feminine hands.
Forcefully, yet with the grace of an angel, she kissed me
and then threw me down the hill, tossing my warriors pride
with me Thereafter I lay at the bottom of the hill for seven
days and seven nights in a trance from this goddesses
kiss. Truely there will be no woman of greater beauty,
cunning, and wit. She is deeper than a thousand wells,
and shines brighter than all the stars in the sky.

And so is this slice of yuppieville. The guy guesting on the
annoying everpresent Evanescence single is from here.
His little band 12 stones is attempting ride Evanescence to
fame. How did I find this out? A flyer on the door of
a coffeehouse regarding a concert.
Pardon me while I die laughing. Rural Mandeville? There
are no cows here, unless you count the soccer moms.
Call it a bedroom community with a lot of bored teenagers.
