NEXUS at XENIUS! No wonder I couldn't get back-in to acknowledge your scooping my "Elliott" story, Chief; we all three (including Anna) posted at 12:56pm! That's what I first noticed. Then I looked a little further back and I noticed that everyone who had ever posted, posted at 12:56pm! "How extraordinaire", I thought! Then I noticed a different, differing time stamp... Chief posted at [ Thu Jan 01, 02:40:57 PM ], I posted at [ Thu Jan 01, 02:45:47 PM ] and Anna posted at [ Fri Jan 02, 02:57:46 AM ]. And other earlier posts, by everyone else, had their own unique date and time stamps. So apparently the time stamp, "12:56" is the one which doesn't change (not so much a nexus, as an unutilized utility). Not that I'm complaining, mind you. It was just a bit unsettling, until resolved. Still, Chief barely one upped me by 4 minutes and 50 seconds, (of course embellished by his usual flurry of unique links and news items). I bow to your efficiency Chief! And odd yet, Anna posted in the wee hours, at so similar an "am" to our "pm" hour, what appeared at first glance to be only 11 minutes and 59 secounds later. It took a double take to resolve that one too. Well, the date part of the stamp helped. But it was still weird! Now I wonder if it were merely my Earthlink provider (in its usual cantancerous way) which prevented my access yesterday afternoon, when I attempted to edit my original post about Elliott Smith, or was there some other reason, my browser wouldn't reload the blog posting page. Alas some mysteries are not meant to waste an hour of time noodling out and then repeating to others as though one has nothing better to do! Heh! Welcome back Anna! Virginia had a few of those nice days. Sunny mild 60's temperatures, it was nice. Whirrled (Black-Eyed) Peas! Awwa \A/
Aw Happy Holidays people! I just got home from New Hampshire and Maine. We lucked out and didn't have any storms to contend with, thank goodness. It was surprisingly warm, and I even went out to the car without my gloves and hat on one day. Heh. I'm happy to be home.
Anna Another Hollywood murder? New coroner's report on Elliott Smith, shows that though he might have self-inflicted the stabs wounds that killed him, someone else might have as easily done so, and Elliott had no drugs in his system at the time of death. Either way it's sad, a waste of talent. Peace, Awwa \A/
Aw Happy new year all. I just slacked and watched some movies. I'm boring, I know. FYI - Printed out some of my digital pics to send to people for xmas with shutterfly. They did a really great job - the local places I tried did very poorly in comparison. Parts of Patriot Act II signed into law. When you read something like this (date trees suggest saddam caught in the summer) it makes you wonder about timing. Neocons vs. Powell for foreign policy. Text to speach demo, version 2. Huge satellite photo of Bam. Hardly anything left standing. Elliott Smith death open question.
chiefwagonburner Happy New Xear! May it be one of Peace! Awwa \A/
Aw Stain Boy joy (for those with bandwidth)
jeffron x Hope y'all's holidays are good. I'm in Austin, TX right now. The people here are incredibly friendly and never presumptuous. My girlfriend was given some Tim Burton toys (Tragic Toys) this x-mas, and I was taken by them because they looked like the comics I had been drawing recently. I wanted to create some versions of my own. We set out to get some clay as soon as we could. I used nails for the legs and for the basic skeletal structure. X-Boy is a direct rip off of a Tim Burton figure called "Stain Boy". I put an X on his chest for obvious reasons.  corporate guy  William Grimm (I used to write short stories about a boy named William Grimm and his dog named Theory....and the thing next to him is not a dog. It's a thing. He invents stuff because he's full of mischief. This particular thing is made of clay, two nails and some staples. Very dangerous.)  Xenius Boy (ripped off of Burton's "Stain Boy"). In the back of X-Boy and his perpetually waving cape is the package of a "toy" called "Triops". (Ages 3 and up. Because apparently there would be no danger for kids who might wind up eating the eggs because they come in a fucking candy package. "Mommy, my poo's all squiggly." They're either brine shrimp eggs or the eggs of sucker-fish which I believe predate sharks and are their progenitor. I'm not sure though. The eggs were in the impulse buying section of the hobby store where we bought our clay. Here's what the package said: HOW DOES IT WORK? EASY! Triops come to you in a state of suspended animation. These nearly hatched eggs remain like this for years - or until you decide to bring them back to life by adding distilled or spring water. They will hatch in 24 hours and quickly grow up to two inches long. Two whole inches?! I will NOT have my masculinity threatened by a bottom-feeder. Oh...$3.99? Well, ok, put it on my card.
