today was a very long day. i’ve realised that meetings are not my cup of tea. i had a long ass production meeting, then more meetings with my boss on and off all day. i think she’s serious about making me more responsible for the stuff that goes on at the agency. i’ve said this before i don’t think i’m cut for management. but for the next 4 days, i’m in charge. i’m not sure how i feel about it.
moving on to more fun pursuits…
long live the bbc. (an impressive tale about and an impressive news service)
an excerpt from nerve’s em & lo’s – the big bang (nerve’s guide to the new sexual universe) [i’m not sure does this count as the pride link?]
and finally your moment of zen
going to fight up with my digitised hp. i’ll be back later.
there are 16 more days til vic gets here. the dreams are getting more and more intense, i’m sitting here almost basking in the afterglow. cold showers don’t help, i like water. water of any temperature makes my whole body feels… electric… i’d rather stay home and cavort naked but today is the last day my boss is going to be in the office for the week. she’s off on another junket with a client til next wednesday. and i’m in charge, so it’s a day of hand over notes and organisation for stuff in her abscence. tentatively i want to get my hair neated today, there’s something soothing about someone’s hands in your hair.
mine and all the other virgos, breszney for this week:
A fundamentalist is anyone who thinks his belief system trumps all others. Religious fanatics are the most obvious example, but scientists can be fundamentalists. So can socialists or capitalists, environmentalists or atheists. Every fundamentalist divides the world into two camps, those who agree with him and those who don’t. To him, there is one right way and a million wrong ways to interpret reality. Now here’s the uncomfortable news: Every one of us has the fundamentalist virus. It may not be as virulent in you and me as it is in the bad guys we love to hate. But we’re all infected. Luckily, Virgo, you’re in an astrological phase when you can achieve a partial cure. To begin, take everything less seriously and less personally and less literally.
and scorpio:
You’re like an arrow in flight, Scorpio. You’re a half-cooked feast, the fifth month of pregnancy, the week before a big election. When I turned my psychic vision towards you just now, I saw an image of a worker bee freshly returned to the hive to perform the dance that will tell its companions where to find a patch of blooming snapdragons. Have you ever mastered a second language? Where you are at this moment resembles the time right before you attain fluency.
not sure what it all means.
mefi is back up, so here’s all the news (that i find) fit to blog:
the database of unknown movies
rocklist – a collection of end of year music polls from a variety of sources (quite interesting to say the least)
and this wonderful tidbit that is definitely not going to make mainstream news in the US, not even the alternative news sources seem to be touching it.
us uses aid threat to block icc (i’m including the first couple of paragraphs for those of you who wont click):
The US yesterday threatened to stop aid to countries which refuse to exempt American soldiers from prosecution by the new international criminal court (ICC).
The threat includes close allies such as Colombia, where a US delegation is trying to cajole President Alvaro Uribe to issue a waiver.
Colombia, which signed the the 1998 Rome Treaty establishing the ICC, could lose nearly $1bn (£600m) a year for its battle against guerrillas and drug warlords. It is the third biggest recipient of US military aid, after Israel and Egypt. Similar threats have been issued to eastern European countries.
Under a US law passed last year, military aid will be cut off from any state which failed to exempt American soldiers from ICC prosecution by yesterday. The White House opposes the new UN institution because it could try US personnel.
i’ll leave you to mull on that for a while, i need to get ready and get to work, particularly if i want to leave early today.

my pride link for the day and while you’re there don’t be afraid to take the 2003 nerve sex survey (unlike most of the quizzes, there is no result at the end)
adieu.
are quite refreshing. i think i may take one on everyday now. i’m slogging through hp on the palm, i think it’s just bad mind now, i refuse to wait til after vic leaves to read a copy.
since i’ve been up, i’ve been surfing, it is tuesday so the village voice is all new (c’mon, the link is my favourites, go click on it) and metafilter is still down, so i have to find the news by hand, or by blog.
thank you laura for this great link – zadie on katherine (how cool is that)
there are also a whole bunch of cool links on the group blog – the junk drawer (yes, it’s a plug, i contribute, so sue me…
oh wait, you can’t sue me [thanks jadedgrrl])
and my wife has arrived online, so i bid you all a good night.
that make life enjoyable. the nicest part of my day today, wasn’t getting the cheque for the job after weeks of waiting, it was being able to help the lady that fell down while walking next to me. i had a lovely lunch with good friends, all in all the ripples from friday are still continuing to spread.
right now vic and i are working out a budget for the trip. hotel rates have gone up and at the moment the cheapest rate that i can find is TT$302 a night. if anyone here (in trinidad) has an apt or house they want to rent for 10 days pm and let me know.
i’m going to make some calls, i’ll be back later.
there is no logical reason for me to be up at this hour. and its true, the reason im at this hour is purely hormonal. i had the most spectacular, most realistic dream, im not sure, but i may have moaned out loud. i sitting here typing every nerve ending tingling, my skin longing to be touched, disappointed to present myself and vic wasnt there. thats what woke me, the sensation of being alone in bed.
there are 17 days til vic gets here and the dreams seem to be getting more and more intense. its going to be interesting to see what result is going to be, i instituted a personal no touching policy today. im curious to see if that is at all possible and i need to whip out all the clothes that keep me hidden. although with this latest weight gain, im not sure ill have anything left to fit me. i happen on a scale yesterday and realised id exceeded my comfort zone in terms of weight, i need to find a healthy, comfortable way to drop back within the range. i have to say this last weight gain has snuck up on me and im not happy about it, actually scared shitless would be more accurate. i used to be the short fat child growing up, now pretty soon my height is not going to be able to hide the fact that ive turned into el tubbo.
i should get off my lazy ass and do something, but id join the gym, go for a week and then never go back. random walking is unappealing to me. not really big on team sports and the one im willing to play, cant find a team to join.
going to have a shower and head off to work.
got this from n:
You Are an EXPERT in Bed
You know precisely what youre doing when the sheets are pulled down and the panties go right along with them.
Youre also super confident, and rightly so.
Because any man who may be fortunate enough to find himself between your legs is a happy man, indeed.
Youre the type of woman men brag about in locker rooms: knowledgeable, adorable, and lickable.
Youve gotten to the point that you dont even have to try so hard.
It all just comes naturally: the mouth, the hips, everything underneath.
One lovely little package.
Your Sexual Energy is Green!
Your sexual energy is rich, serene, and abundant like the natural world.
You are always feeling your sexual aura flow through you, like a stream.
Rarely do you go anywhere without it.
You seduce people with your luxurious glow.
You do not have to be obvious to express your sexuality.
Others just feel your serene sexual power that resides within.
First dates are a mental dance for you – as you subtly seduce potential lovers.
In bed, you can easily sense your lovers needs and to flow them as needed.
This spiritual click is your primary sexual strength.
However, sometimes you allow your carnal appetite to go too far, and you forget to be cautious.
While its awesome and totally liberating to release your inner wild woman… watch out!
Sometimes your pheromones may mislead you.
Check out Natalie Portman and Julia Stiles for some green sexual energy guidance.
When it comes to the hot matches, people who have shades of red, yellow, and pink are strong possibilities.

…it pours.
today was kind of stressful, aside from the moron client. the power adaptor on my laptop, finally gave out, had to find a replacement at least until the new one arrives. then i couldn’t get my regular connection to dialup. i’m using a borrowed connection to get some info for a quotation that was due on friday, but all i want to do right now is go to bed. vic has a headache and i’m not sure who’s feeding back from whom.
i’m want to call it a night, but i have to wait on a call back from the server people, my client is on my ass, rightfully so as to why her server or at least the mail portion isn’t up yet.
i’ll regal you with some links in the mean time:
Are you hypocritical about God? (a very interesting quiz – vic sent me this a while ago)
my results:
You have been awarded the TPM medal of distinction! This is our second highest award for outstanding service on the intellectual battleground.
The fact that you progressed through this activity being hit only once and biting very few bullets suggests that your beliefs about God are well thought out and almost entirely internally consistent.
The direct hit you suffered occurred because one set of your answers implied a logical contradiction. The bitten bullets occurred because you responded in ways that required that you held views that most people would have found strange, incredible or unpalatable. At the bottom of this page, we have reproduced the analyses of your direct hit and bitten bullets.
Because you only suffered one direct hit and bit very few bullets, you qualify for our second highest award. A good achievement!
this week i promise to bring you at least one pride link a day. here is the stranger’s 2003 queer issue
going to get some sleep, have a good night.
i have the misfortune of doing work for the miscreants that purport to run this country. and if the way this job is organised (actually disorganised and mismanaged), then im not surprised by the state the country is in.
the person thats supposed to liase with the agency, is an arrogant, self-important, pus ridden, infected, affected twat. and is seriously angling herself for me to tell that to her.
i should be more angry, but the good feelings that have be engendered since friday and vics impending arrival are holding sway. i needed to exorcise that bit of vitriol before i continued work. im making changes, to what remains of the template that was developed.
ill be back later.
i’m reorganising the post of the first 6 days, which i’d posted on a blog, here in chronological order.
i feel somewhat like winston, although i’m not revising history, the js ability to make the post appear to have been on a specific date is really orwellian.
just wanted to say that, and plug my early blog enteries.
adieu.
