It's sad, I know. But for the next month I'm off the social grid. Once Tilda and I manage to settle St Brad's Wood, I can hop back on.
Until then, it's ramen vs potatoes every night.
dunno why i'm too stupid to link to the pictures exactly, but you can get an exact replica of your eyeballs made into working lights.
go to products --> lights.
the motto of this website should be changed from the pretentious latin tagline to "i'm not a frakking blog".
why? because it's damned referential, that's why.
what does it reference, you ask?
edward's perpetual response to complaints that functions of said not-a-blog don't work
those horribly tacky anya hindmarch bags that i hate almost as much as i hate all louis vuitton bags ever created, which remind me of those awful esprit sweatshirts i had in middle school that blared "ESPRIT" across the front. LV products speak to the same principles that i was operating under was when i was 13 (or brad at current age).
a certain show loved by mega-nerds, which would also meta-reference the fact that the name of this website is uber-dorky (ps - i refuse to spell it "Web site", because although that's right, it's also just flat-out wrong)
i have decided i'm incredibly tired and need a vacation immediately.
see? i have nothing to say! proof.
that's right, craiglist f**kers! you're so predictably enraging, i don't know why you still get me worked up every time.
what happens to me when i post something for sale on craigslist?
4-6 people contact me insisting they're going to buy what i posted. i wait at home at the appointed time and they never show up.
3-5 people insist they're going to buy something, turn up, and then say, "hm ... well, um, i need to think about it..." and leave
1-2 try to bargain me down to an idiotic price ... "oh, so you're asking $100 ... but would you take ... FIVE????"
invariably, none of them ever calls back.
so what do i do to counter these flaky tactics? i fight fire with fire and make arrangements with multiple people each night to come look at whatever i'm selling. i do explain that i'm showing it to multiple people. i tell everyone i'll call them if it gets purchased. and what happens?
i sell something. i email or call people to tell them.
there's always one person who goes completely ape and insists that i had promised it to them and they've already started driving from fredericksburg in a car they rented just for the occasion and i'm nothing but a gigantic ball of evil. invariably, this is for an item of almost no value. the most recent incident involved a $25 CD rack. the one before that was a $10 ottoman from bed, bath & beyond that wasn't worth the money it took to make 3 phone calls to bitch me out.
i should quit now, but god, how i love their sweet, sweet cash.
You heard it here first. Why?
Once the big three, Ohio, PA and FL are out of the mix, Obama will have the ability to play offense in VA, CO, NC, GA and IN. The McCain coattails will shrink just as Barr's will grow, resulting in a fairly large pro-Democratic party vote.
The best part about this scenario is that an Obama wave will instantly produce journalism meta-stories about a "mandate" for his various policy positions, something Clinton never had with his two sub 50% victories.
The CW moving forward will be that McCain lost the election the day he flip-flopped to support offshore oil drilling. When I saw a McCain surrogate opining while using the debunked China/Cuba drilling connection as evidence last night, I realized they were in a tailspin.
It has to be linked to, because it is so very awesome
Barack Obama's new airplane includes a conference room, a kitchen, and a MEGACHURCH.
Barack Obama's skin is the color of AMERICAN SOIL.
Barack Obama buys AMERICAN STUFF. He owns a FORD, a BASEBALL TEAM, and a COMPUTER HE BUILT HIMSELF FROM AMERICAN PARTS. He travels mostly by FORKLIFT.
The forklift really sealed it for me.
My trusty N95 will be dethroned, later this year, as the king of camera phones when Sony releases an 8 megapixel beast.
What gives me hope?
This sketchy video of Android running on a N95. That's right, it's a little google-meets-nokia mashup.
I love Symbian for the UI, but the overall execution, especially on a phone as powerful as the N95, is lacking.
