on the subject of losing weight

| May 31, 2007

Look, I know it ain’t easy – I’ve been working on it for about 10 weeks, and only managed to lose 5 pounds. So I’m sympathetic, I can see how horrid it would be to need to lose 40, or even 200 pounds. My problem is not with overweight people in general, my problem is [...]

A tip for my fat brothers and sisters

| May 30, 2007

Butter is not a lubricant – eating more will not help you to “slip” into those jeans. I saw this chunk just a little bit ago at Sweet Tomatoes (which is perfect for the habitual chunk, because it has an all you can eat salad bar – so they can feel like they are being [...]

captchas off

For now, I’ll turn them back on if the spam gets out of control again.

Surprise..it’s a pile of…links

| May 25, 2007

A groovy demo of shoving pics into a google maps api. How to get Google calendar into Thunderbird 2.0. A long discourse on rape in cyberspace, dating from the great MUDage. Ahh, memories. “attempted” copyright infringement soon to be a crime? Other people have blogged more extensively on this one, but I’ll just briefly stop [...]

White people are cool because we can be anything

| May 24, 2007

Now we can even be black! Thank you Angelina Jolie for showing us the way not once but TWICE this year. Since the first link is just to some random blog, and the second lacks appropriate images, I dig a little digging and found some of my own (oh wait, here someone did a three [...]

The season finale of Heroes…

| May 21, 2007

was O.K. It wasn’t great (Peter didn’t get his hair out of his eye, Sylar didn’t die…), it wasn’t horrible (neither did Peter or D.L.) – it was somewhere in between. It did show us one thing though, that the writing staff definitely has a plan (at least for the first season) – they knew [...]

amusing review

| May 20, 2007

I found this amusing little tidbit while browsing Allmusic, when I noticed they had only given Pablohoney 3/5 stars: “Radiohead’s debut album, Pablo Honey, is a promising collection that blends U2′s anthemic rock with long, atmospheric instrumental passages and an enthralling triple-guitar attack that is alternately gentle and bracingly noisy. The group has difficulty writing [...]

My thoughts on the idiocy that is Marvel Zombies

| May 12, 2007

Is probably the most disgusting, offensive comic I have ever seen. Ok, not really, but it is the most puerile thing I’ve seen either of the big 2 put out. Which is funny, because in one of his weekly interviews over at Newsrama, Joe Quesada was saying something about how the main Marvel characters would [...]

Movie Review – Spider-Man 3

| May 5, 2007

Don’t read this if you don’t want to be spoiled. I’d also suggest not watching the movie, but hey. The short of it: It sucked. It did not pass go, did not collect $200, and did succumb to the X-Men 3/Bat Man & Robin/three-quel curse. The long of it: The action scenes were really great, [...]

I hate that fiddling guy

| May 2, 2007

Probably homeless. He hangs out at the train station on 9thish & Yamhill. Fucking annoying. If I turned my Zen up any louder I’d suffer serious hearing damage. I just want to stand here, and ignore the teeming masses, and get on at rain and leave. Not listen to your fucking fiddle. Shut the hell [...]
