Items of note

  1. I'm very busy at work, and so, not around much these days.
  2. Bill Snowden is on the move.
  3. The ancient art of fan fiction is alive and well.
  4. A thirteen year-old Shaun Hatton wrote the best sci-fi you'll ever read.
  5. The 2005 MTV Video Music Awards made for very bad television, but very good comedy.
  6. The year 1984 didn't turn out anything like the book promised it would.
  7. And while I always thought it was two, in turns out that my magic number is three.

Back in a bit.

Maybe you should have a fan fiction contest.
That would be cool.
Or some kind of writing exercise.

Like..

"You have 3 items: A potato, a helicopter, and a second-rate mime. Write a short story about these items. Make the theme espionage."

Sarah just brought to my attention that Paul Hurley hasn't had sex with me, he's only masturbated to a picture of me.

Yes! Give it up for 13-year-old me ;)

We must get Jorge to post more of his art.

I wondered what fan fiction could be...and then confirmed that indeed, it is only something that a true nerd would know about. Thanks for that. Now I have to dedicate the rest of my weekend from somehow eradicating this knowledge from my brain.

When did we all become adults and busy at work? I haven't been here in days because of adult stuff like dropping off dry cleaning, shopping for assorted sundries, and reading Maxim.

Stupid adulthood.

Maybe you could have a contest where contestants have to write fan fiction about people masturbating while looking at a picture of you.

OK, this is totally off-topic, but Dave, I need to know why your look alike named his kid Kal-el? Don't you have control over your look alikes?

I should add...

... that two people were instrumental in my joining Twitter. First, Isha . She sent out an article on it when the application was still brand new. (And I remember thinking, "Screw that noise. Like I need more online commitments.) Second was Rebecca . She joined up just a short while ago, claiming she hadn't met a bandwidth she didn't like . (And then she disappeared entirely from the internets .) It looked nice and pretty over there on her sidebar, and then I got a little jealous. The rest: history. And for those unobservant among you ( Jorge ), the Twitter feed is right there on my sidebar, replacing the old Radio 3 player that I loved, but that I think scared the bejezus out of a lot of people. Also, everyone should join Twitter. I'm needing some diversions , people.

Change Two: Drink More Water Such a simple thing, yet something I just can't seem to find the time to do. About the only water I drink in your average day is whatever sweat happens to trickle off my mustache. Hydration (so the smart people tell me) is a good thing. I'm less fatigued when I drink water. I'm less hungry when I drink water. I'm even less grumpy when I drink water. I promise you nothing especially impressive. Eight glass a day ain't gonna happen. I'm shooting for two on average; two trendy, metallic, not gonna bleed Bisphenol A into my system bottles of water. I know were off to a rip-roaring start, what with the list-making and the hydration, but I'll try to get crazier with future changes. Stuff like: go to work drunk more, and buy a pair of leather pants. For now, let me ease into it.

Discuss Amongst Yourselves - January 30th, 2006

In case you don’t read my comments (and if not, you’re nuts cause that’s where all the good stuff is), Courtney has just declared herself movie illiterate. So, if you had to recommend five essential movies that everyone should see, what would they be? Let me stress: only five. For those of you with break-the-rules tendencies (like--I dunno--just picking a name out of the air... Jorge ?), your comment gets chucked out. Give’r.
