From a tatoo site:

The use of the barcode as a tattoo design is meant to be ironical, a warning that if we are not careful as a culture, we are all in danger of becoming products ourselves. A barcode tattoo is also a protest against a culture where it seems that everyone wears the same clothes, listens to the same music and uses the same products. A barcode tattoo is a statement against a culture of commodities and a celebration of diversity and the uniqueness of the individual.

I skimmed past the bug talk. Quickly.

Health~ma to Frankenbuddha's neighbour and Connie's DH.

We use Happy Lights! Our lightbox is a Lumie. I had the alarm clock, too, but it broke*. The lightbox is excellent. We try and use it in the mornings, which is supposed to help you stay awake longer in the dark evenings.

*Or, more accurately, I threw it across the room in a fit of temper. Do not try this at home.

And anti-roach-and-wasp~ma to the rest of us (except those who enjoy watching yellow jackets do their thing). I've been without a go-to male for a quite a while, so I've managed to transform my deep, abiding wasp fear into deep, abiding hate, with bonus killing action. And I have three cans of wasp spray near the front door.

Happy birthday, Calli! I admire you for turning fear into hate with regards to wasps. I'd like to do that with spiders. As yet, it has not happened. Possibly because I almost always have a potential spider-rescuer on hand. If I ever live alone again, I'm getting a cat. One that's fond of hunting spiders.

I'm googling for a very tiny hamster ball - this is turning out to be quite hard to find. My dwarf hamster is doing a lot of refusing to come out of her little house. We've tried lots of things to coax her out, but I reckon she just needs regular exposure to the world and people. She's too tiny for the big hamster balls, though.

Happy Birthday, Calli!

Surgery ~ma for Connie's DH. May the surgeon be having a particularly skillful day.

Health ~ma for Kristin and for Frank's landlord.

Why is it already Monday morning? Those of you that got the day first should have held on to it a little longer.

Happy Birthday to Burrell!

Happy Birthday Calli! Happy Birthday Burrell!
