03:50 pm - just like i told y'all
So, I've been maintaining a constant low-level chortle at the efforts of certain Ron Paul supporters to establish 'Paulville' in the West Texas Flats. Now, as I find out, they have (drum roll) a WEB SITE. The subtitle is 'Like minded people, coming together!'
What I want to know:
1.) So they're similar to people with minds?
2.) In what sense does a coop that holds land in the shareholders' stead qualify as a libertarian paradise? Sounds like some collectivist poppycock to me.
In other news, life continues apace. Nick, bless him, got me a hose for the garden and it's literally the best labor-saving device I've gotten in the last year and some. I always felt like a pioneer lugging the watering can up and down, up and down the hill to water the vegetable garden- but no longer! I've joined the (20th?) century at last!

12:08 am - an open note to SciFi Original Production Company
Dear Messrs,
In regard to your movie 'Bone Eater,' not to be confused with 'The Bone Snatcher,' which also played last night: never do a monster reveal before the opening credits. While I understand that your opus suffers from many flaws, I believe that correcting this matter would make it bearable for at least the first five minutes.
Most sincerely yrs,
Ursula
P.S. Stop casting Casper Van Dien in all your movies; you're only protecting him from the social Darwinism of the acting world. His failed acting genes must die out in order to allow mankind to evolve.

11:30 am - Le Guin is frickin' awesome.
And it's not just because she has my name:
"As she heard the click of heel bones that had broken through rotting flesh, she knew what it was. But it was dead, dead! God damn that Chabon, dragging it out of the grave where she and the other serious writers had buried it to save serious literature from its polluting touch, the horror of its blank, pustular face, the lifeless, meaningless glare of its decaying eyes! What did the fool think he was doing? Had he paid no attention at all to the endless rituals of the serious writers and their serious critics -- the formal expulsion ceremonies, the repeated anathemata, the stakes driven over and over through the heart, the vitriolic sneers, the endless, solemn dances on the grave?"

Some dude takes a trip to the Creation Museum in Kentucky so you don't have to. Be sure to check out the whole set on Flickr.

06:43 am - In re: your angst is being misappropriated
Found on the interwebs: Rhino Preps Massive Goth Box. Read the whole thing. It's a little funny. Apparently it'll even come with a companion show on MTV. Subculture, meet superculture.
Not much going on right now. I crochet with fervor. Very much looking forward to the weekend.

I secretly wish that I were a gay man just so that ads like this would be targeted at me. ._. Guess I can settle for this instead.
Warning: fairly explicit and NSFW.

If this isn't blasphemy, I don't know what is.
... but then, what do I know about religion anyway?

"Oh god! Yes! Yes! Give it to me, Axe Body Spray!"
I now fervently regret having never seen Eugene Mirman perform. Le Sigh.

Factory producing biodiesel alternative fuel from animal parts.
So... does that mean that, given a population increase significant enough to remove them from the endangered species list, you could someday actually put a tiger in your tank?
Just think of the advertising campaign.
