Sometimes, I am astounded by the intellect of my friends. Bruce42 and I were discussing the undead abomination that seems to have enthralled so many people with money and power. Yep, I'm referring to our Great Zombie Lord Jesus, who greedily watches the Earth until the time is right for him to lead his army of the "faithful" to conquer the world in the name of "peace." Bruce pointed out a very important fact: this Jesus fellow was anointed, killed, wrapped and laid to rest. His tomb was disturbed, his artifacts scattered across the globe and he rose again.

Ten words in length? I'm already on that, sweet thang. I have to wonder sometimes. If a pregnant woman dies, does the undertaker charge for two embalmings? Would it be possible to get the guy to remove the fetorpse and bury it separately?

I bought a cheap-o Orchid from Target a month or so ago. It was in bloom with lovely lovely deep purple/black flowers on a long spike. The orchid is a Dendrobium Copter according to it's tag. These are ephipyte orchids (they live in trees and have aerial roots). They like to have small pots and grow big.

Ok so here's my job situation.

Chinese astronomers claim they've found strong evidence that there's a massive black hole in the center of our galaxy. I think this can finally lay to rest all those notions of a caring creator of our kind: ultimately, we are fucked. Perhaps the Buddhists have a more accurate view, that all are striving endlessly toward a future that consists of being crushed into oblivion by an enormous gravity well. Mankind's final destiny is now clearly defined as an insignificant contribution to the greedy pinpoint that is the black hole at the center of our galaxy.

The Internet Explorer Development Blog informs site developers many IE-specific and aggravating CSS bugs will be fixed. Until then Microsoft developers recommend phasing out any hacks and workarounds. In the spirit of this bold proposal, I built the new USL Site Theme using no CSS hacks.

Two bands exist that have an identical name, Prussian Blue. One looks like a bunch of hippies or something like that, I didn't pay too much attention to them. The other is far more interesting and I mean that in my usual sense of the word. The other Prussian Blue consists of two early teenage girls who sing about how they love being white. It's no longer White Supremacy, it's now White Nationalism. A favorite quote from an interview: "It seems like smart white girls who have good eugenics are more interested in making money in a career or partying than getting married and having a family.

i've been waiting to make a proper ultrascience debut until i had a proper project worthy of my favorite steel benders' time. for many months i've waited to have a contribution, and the time has come. i've been on the market for a new MIDI controller for some time now, and have found few that have had what i wanted. oh sure, you can have a few knobs and faders for a few hundred bucks, or you can sell a few organs and get a rig that will run a 5.1 surround sound system with real-time panning, open every garage door on the block, and invade guatemala by remote...

Okay, we're having a Halloween party out at the estate. This matter is solely in my brother's hands, since I don't want to deal with the bother of it all. I, however, have a couple inspirations to deal with right now. So, I've decided to build us a wickerman for Halloween. We've got enough wood and brush that it shouldn't be a problem. I'd prefer that we stuff it with criminals, but that's not an option at this juncture. I went looking for more info and discovered that the wickerman is supposed to be a Beltaine tradition.
