well rested

June 27, 2003 — Leave a comment

i actually got to bed before midnight and managed to get at least 6 hours sleep, so i feel a lot better, although i could crawl back in to bed and sleep til noon. adding to this feeling of well being is the fact that victoria will be here in 3 weeks, 21 days. the time seems to be streaming along, two weeks have passed since i started the count already. my dreams and my thoughts have been filled with longing, it not just about the sex, it’s the intimacy, not feeling a stab of jealousy when i see couples holding hands. the simple things, the kissing, the laughing, face to face conversations. i want them and for 10 days next month i get to have them. and we’re not definitely not going to let another 10 months go by we see each other again.

now the news:

strom thurmond died .

everything else is entertainment:

the birthdate thing that’s been floating around:

Of rare beauty
knows how to adapt
likes luxury
of good health
not in the least shy
tends to look down on others
self-confident
determined
impatient
wants to impress others
many talents
industrious
healthy optimism
waiting for the one true love
able to make quick decisions.

(sounds about correct except for the second to last one – found my true love)

i have to thank jadegrrl for this truly entertaining link – the world lovemaking championships (vic, do you think we should enter or judge?)

and finally your moment of zen

time for work, blog you later.

whatchadune?

June 24, 2003 — Leave a comment

i’m getting ready to build 28 pages for 2 newspaper supplements for tomorrow. i’m going to be up for a while. i figure if i get going now, i can get a second wind around midnight. i’ve got 8 hours of pop music cued up. this is going to be such fun.

in the mean time i’m going to post a bunch of links and although i was going save this for friday but you only live once, i’m sure i’ll find another five for friday. thank you eternalfool:

1. You have to engage in a dirty threesome with one celebrity of the same sex and one of the opposite sex. Choose your ideal peeps.
ewan mcgregor and angela bassett

2. What celebrity has popped up most frequently in your masturbation fantasies, past or present?
honestly none. i had to think about my first answer a really long time.

3. Would you fuck comedian Sarah Silverman?
yep

4. How about Jon Stewart?
oh hell yes

5. If you fucked a major celebrity (one night, no strings attached) and the Enquirer offered you $1,000,000 to supply some details of the tryst, would you do it
nope. not built that way.

whew, got that out of the way, now some news and entertainments:

this history of organised crime in nyc (really cool link for you crime buffs and vic if they ever do a city about ny), it’s really well designed too (i’m trolling for ideas for the site that i’m supposed to be working on…)

long bets is “an arena for competitve, accountable predictions” ie giving you an opportunity to put yout money where you mouth is.

an interesting catch-22 about google and it’s addition to our lexicon.

and it’s tuesday, so you know that means new dan savage at the village voice

moving quickly along, it’s almost an hour since i started this meaning i haven’t started work yet…

z list star (and i use the word star losely) blog (ok he uses a mac, running at least 10.2.5 and he’s using ichat a/v, so that will move him up the list to ‘j’ or something)

a useful roundup of links about the supreme court decision on library internet filtering

and we’re walking, and we’re walking, til we get to our final exhibit, your moment of zen

ok, all my text is here, no more posts til i’m done at least the first 8 pages. ciao.

counting down

i made the first offical step to vic’s visit, i submitted my leave form, my boss is trying to ignore me but i’ll quit if she doesn’t give me the time off. i doubt it will come to that. things seem to be coming together for the visit, there are two things that haven’t been confirmed, i don’t want to say anything yet for fear of jinxing it.

it’s started raining here and i’m dressed for dry weather, i really wasn’t thinking when i was getting dressed for work, i’d love to skip through the puddles on my way home, but the last thing i want to do is get sick now. no rain doesn’t get you sick but the germs that are likely to be in the puddle might well do the job.

i have all this work to do and i’m waiting for that one spark to ignite, it could also be the fact that i’m hungry, i budgeted for getting paid this afternoon, all major indicators are pointing to thursday, so i have to figure out how i’m going to manage til then.

vic sent me this link from alternet (much as we’d like to think differently race will factor in our relationship)

on a lighter note (unless you were a former employee) an album of failed dot-coms farewell pages

and nerve has started their 6th anniversary special issue, up today is their 10 best personal essays (the link is on the front page, do you want me to do everything for you?)

time for me to get back to work. ciao.

quick pitstop

June 23, 2003 — Leave a comment

i’m at work, not really slaving away, just trying to get started this morning, but i’m not quite feeling it. so in the mean time, i’ve been doing ‘research’ online. i love that word, it covers a multitude of sins and with a browser that supports tabs (plugs safari here) work and non-work are just a tab away.

and here’s what i’ve been browsing:

why americans will believe almost anything

the celebrity atheist list (not just atheists, agnostics and other non-believers are included as well)

and finally val kilmer to play john holmes (how does one rehearse for this role?)

heading the news this morning, there are only 25 days til victoria gets here.

tools for librarians (trust me on this, especially if you borrow books from the library)

it’s summer in the us (but rainy season for us folks), so here’s a list of theme park accidents as well as park reviews and safety tips

20 questions about the iraq war

and that’s a wrap. just a few tidbits, to get you through the morning, i’m heading into work now, i feel a slight unease, i’m not sure what’s bothering me, but i’m sure it will present itself soon enough

bright eyed & bushy tailed

June 22, 2003 — Leave a comment

i’d forgotten how energetic i felt after a nap on a sunday afternoon. although, it still doesn’t mean i’m leaving my house.
tonight is the final night of izahvaps (a showcase of local talent). i should go, it’s family, but it’s cold and rainy and i don’t feel like travelling anywhere. there is the complete lack of interest in the local poetry scene, i’ve heard most of them all at one point or another and i think i’m just completely fed up of the scene. it’s same set of people, blowing hot air up each others asses.

i really should be more charitable but ass kissing has never been one of my strong points. actually my thought to mouth filter, never seemed to work well. i’ve learned to bite it back as it’s about to come out. there was a point to this but i forget, so on to other things. metafilter is back up, woo hoo.

the morning news guide to urban etiquette: ny(very, very funny) and the much tamer tube guide

in praise of fuck (a nice op-ed piece)

which helps me segue right back in to my attempts to filter what comes out of my mouth. i’m of the school that there is no bad language, just inappropriate language. that said and done, there i don’t use in the presence of children. good, now that we’ve established the ground rules… as with everything else there is a time and place for everything, i try not to burst out in epithets in the office, but the stupidity level i deal with everyday is guaranteed a could of muttered ‘fucks’.
i’ve also be told that my extensive vocabulary precludes the need for me to use any inappropriate language, but there are time when nothing in my vocabulary beats a ‘motherfucker’. i’ve removed ‘cunt’ from my list of abusive language, it’s a beautiful word, to describe a beautiful body part and it’s also a powerful word, in and out of the bedroom. oh dear, i’ve managed to get this back around to sex again.

i don’t have a one track mind, i swear. going to watch a charmed rerun, be back later.

a rather nice hp story and a very interesting collection of barbies

and just in time, i got the religion test from a link on stellar`s blog,

the envelope please:

your religious beliefs have the most in common with Neo-Paganism

In fact, your test results show that you?re  86% compatible with Neo-Pagan religious beliefs.

How do we know this? Your high compatibility with these religions was assessed objectively based on how you answered questions on the test. Your score indicates that you share more core beliefs with this religion than you do with the other 9 world religions assessed in the test.

Here are some important details about the religion that might reveal why: Though different Neo-Pagan groups have different faiths, in general, they are primarily polytheists – they believe in multiple gods and goddesses. Most groups also have a highly personal relationship with nature and its seasons, observing important rituals throughout the year to express their faith. It appears that you are also interested in the natural world and the significance it has in your life. Recent attempts to reconstruct the ancient pagan faith; nearly wiped out after years of persecution; have unearthed spiritual texts and a highly secretive oral tradition. While the history of their religion is important, most Neo-Pagan practitioners worship in solitude, performing rituals of personal significance to express their own highly individual spirituality. Perhaps you too enjoy being alone when you want to reflect about the world.    

The religion that has the greatest affinity with your belief system is:

Your belief system is 71% compatible with Unitarian Universalist religious beliefs.

But did you know that even though Unitarian Universalists have mixed beliefs about the existence of God, they tend to share the belief that there is something to be learned from every world religion- It appears that you are also open to a wide variety of religious and spiritual ideas. By accepting differences between individual spiritual beliefs, Unitarian Universalists come together under a few broad and inclusive moral ideologies. They pass their beliefs from generation to generation through their church`s literature and their teachings, both of which draw on many of the major spiritual texts from a variety of religions. Typically open-minded and intellectual, Unitarian Universalists encourage individual exploration of many different spiritual truths. They also tend to be politically liberal. It seems that you also see the importance of being open-minded and curious.
