The tragedy that is New Orleans and Mississippi has left me with nothing to say.
I don’t have anything constructive to add, and the more news I read, the less I feel amused and amusing.
ADDENDUM the First:
What you should have in your jump kit.
I’ve always been fascinated by crime. The first grown-up books I really remember reading here ‘The Complete Sherlock Holmes’ and Agatha Christie’s ‘A Carribean Mystery’ (followed quickly by any Miss Marple mystery I could get my hands on).
In college I started out in Sociology in the Crime and Justice track, but eventually realized that my [...]
Brock Peters died on 23 August 2005
The article doesn’t mention that he also played Joseph Sisko on DS9.
Go to MusicOutfitters.com. In the Search box, enter the year you graduated high school. The first item returned should be the 100 most popular songs from that year. Cut and paste them into your journal.
I modified it a bit.
Bold the ones you like.
Strike through the songs you dislike.
Leave normal the ones you don’t care about [...]
I love folk tales and fairy tales. I have The Complete Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault and the Complete Fairy Tales and Stories and Hans Christian Andersen. I have tales from China and tales from Russia and tales from India. And of course I have The Complete Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm.
So of course [...]
Mr Smith is the first person to be fired across an international border.
Mr Smith waved his passport in the air as he sat on the lip of the cannon, before leaving on the brief journey.
The Art of Retouching
No wonder we’re all so screwed up–Interestingly, I like some of the pre pictures better than the touched up photos.
I couldn’t get the page to work in Mozilla, but it’s worth your time to view the page in IE.

ADDENDUM the First: Gee! Just imagine how much better my flower pr0n [...]
3 a: a sense of humiliation and shame caused by something that wounds one’s pride or self-respect b: the cause of such humiliation or shame
Last night I walked into my Culture, Diversity, and Aging class an hour late. I’d written the time down wrong, so instead of 7:00 to 9:50 it was 6:00 to 8:50. [...]
S has finally put up pictures of Lucille and her produce. (Partially because of this post! Yay me!)
The Compass Rose (2005) Gail Dayton
The Compass RoseIn response to a desperate plea to the Gods to save her city from ransacking, naitan Kallista Varyl becomes one of the Godstruck–suddenly possessing more power than anyone in Adaran has for centuries.
This is another book published by Luna. I picked up several at the book store that [...]
I didn’t realize it would be so GAUDY!
I thought of S this morning at the Rec Center. She and I are both confused and dismayed at the preponderance of girls and women going around with words on their rears.
Especially “Juicy”. I mean really. If you’ve got a juicy read you need to be going to the doctor. He should have [...]
Shoe Lacing Methods
Not how to tie them, how to lace them. I’m partial to Criss Cross lacing–the traditional method.
There were no more than four of us on the track at a time this morning, and there were more machines empty than being used.
Of course Fall Fest was last night, so we’ll have to see how many people show up tomorrow, but I’d say that the morning rush at the rec center is [...]
Now that school has started, we have to get to the rec center earlier, since Michael has to make up the time he misses for classes. So today we got there at 6:15 (AM) and I was stunned to discover that the place was PACKED. Normally there are a handful of people on the track, [...]
So we finally started watching Firefly, Joss Whedon’s short lived science fiction show, for which a movie is coming out this fall. (Serenity)
We just watched the first episode (“Serenity Parts 1&2″) and so far I really like it.
Which has lead me to a rather confusing realization: Although I typically can’t stand to read science fiction, [...]

The Mark of Zorro (1919) Johnston McCulley
I had a Zorro book as a kid. I have no idea where it came from–I’m sure my mom didn’t buy it for me. It may have been left at the house by the previous occupants, like the James Bond books I eventually read and loved.
