It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Did someone link to a site where they can figure out what movie you're talking about from vaguish clues?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Besides this one?

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

Focusing on the "commentary" must have been kind of a nightmare, huh?

Really not that bad, comparatively speaking. For instance, we do this one court show that's so ridiculous that when we subcontracted it out, we had to answer about 18 emails, at least, over the course of the day about how to deal with it. Or I watched pieces of another thing today where it was just one man talking for an hour about Kabbalah, with lots of Hebrew and Aramaic. And I totally developed ADD during an absolutely endless section of this kids' show featuring a TEN MINUTE polka remix song about cutting up a banana, putting it in a blender, and shaking it up. Those were the only lyrics that were even understandable, as the two adults singing it were dressed like bunnies on acid, yodeling, AND jumping up and down. So after awhile, VH1 commentary starts to seem like high art. Of course, I did see episode 8 of this season's Project Runway, too, so it's not all bad.

How are you, Jesse? I haven't talked to you in ages.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Didn't mean to post a rant and run. I love lion tamers and much prefer the top hat versions, but my favorite was THIS guy, [link] who dressed like Liberace-meets-Conan. I saw him live when I was about 11 and fell in love.

Just KNEW that would be Gunther Gebel-Williams before I even clicked it. sighhhhhhhhhhhh

Anybody speak Portuguese? How do you say Portuguese in Portuguese?

CaBill does.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have a tagging obsession. Not graffiti, just adding information to files.

I'm trying to geotag images in Flickr, and I'm coming across difficulty in my Morocco pics, because I can't search for all the local town names, and the maps aren't that detailed. I'm guessing I can enter longitude and latitude coordinates into the search engine, but first I'd need to find out, say, what the L&L for the Todra Gorge is.

Anyone know a way to look up the L&L of places somehow?

Sean, thanks for the drawing props. I've done very little since the migraines started, because I'm shying away from effort. But I'm at least pretending to reassert my image hobbies--I'm doing a photoportrait-a-day for a year challenge, for instance.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

ita -- maybe the US department maps might have that info?

I had some of the leftover cupcakes from our class 'party' yesterday for breakfast, which seems somehow sinful, considering they're all homemade and organic and enough to tempt me downstairs to get them. I need all the incentive I can get in the morning.

I'm tempted by the 365 day thing, especially with the having of a nicer camera, but then I'm confronted with the difficulty of really not liking the way that I look. Of course, I might start taking better care of myself if I did.

I know, right? I am currently preparing to leave town, so that's good.

There's that, and there's the absolute requirement that you have to get creative or just snap under the stress. So far, three pics, only one with my face in it.

Could a person do one of those retrospective clips at the end of the year, instead of showing them every day? Then they all have to be the same, and ones you might not like blur in.
