I’ll take her for my birthday present. Well, the way she looked back in the 60s, anyway. 😉 continue reading…
Yes, I’m counting 13 days down, since 13 is my lucky number.
In 13 days I will go back to college. I am both excited and frightened by it. More frightened by the parking than anything else, but also frightened by the encroaching stupid. Not that I don’t have to deal with another kind of stupid at work, but I digress.
I will finally learn about computer networking and that goes along with it. And I might even get some kind of Cisco certification. Which sounds a bit much for an intro class, but it was one of the surcharges that the university put on my bill, so I better get it.
Also, I’ll take a course in Italian. I’m actually looking forward to this more than the computer course. I’ve been obsessed with Italian culture (OK, food and movies) for a while now. I always loved looking up old Italian horror films on IMDB and seeing the original Italian title. “Paura nella città dei morti viventi” is a much cooler title than “City of the Living Dead.”
Right now, all I can say is “buongiorno” which I learned from Brak back in 1997. Lately I’ve been especially annoying by saying “Hey, buongiorno everybody!” when I enter a room. Oh, and I like to shout “vaffanculo” at the scanner when I get a paper jam, but that one isn’t much good unless I want to start a fight, which I don’t.
My dream is to make this blog bilingual, or trilingual if I can get the hang of Spanish as well, but I can barely speak English, so that might be a bit above my pay grade.
Yeah, another PETA babe. Didn’t Butters (of South Park fame) want to use Khloe’s Kardashian’s butt for a pillow? That kid has all the right ideas…
Once upon a time I thought PETA was the worst scourge on earth. Sometimes I still do. But one good thing they do is annoy feminists. Or, rather, the feminists who constantly whine about “ZOMG, straight men might find that attractive!” This earns them all kinds of karma points in my book.
So, with that in mind, Sadie Frost, ladies and gentlemen!
I assume Lacey Von Erich is related to the famous wrestling Von Erichs? I’m so out of the current crop of wrestlers I have no idea. Not that it really matters… 😉
Slightly NSFW, so pics are under the fold (giggity).
Another side of Laraaji. The Dance side was more manic, so naturally The Meditation side is calmer and more ambient-like.
This is another of the songs that got me into ambient music, though I’m not sure it really fits the genre. Laraaji was homeless when Brian Eno discovered him. Or so the legend goes. This song (and the entire album) is Eno’s production applied to hammer dulcimers and zithers. Amazing.
This guy gets it. Another reason I’m increasingly libertarian all the time.
