A haunted local would be much more fun, I think. I already requested the holiday off, so I'm game for Samhain fun.

I would have a very hard time walking, esp. in heels. Do you like wearing heels?

Chase rainbows and kidnap a leprechaun.

I'm amused. Yay!

2 1/2 more hours before I get home to watch Star Trek Next Gen. and sew.

Baklava, dude you rock! I'll make saganaki! (Opa!)

+20 You're better off without her. But, have you ever tried to get back in touch with highschool girl?

I'm considering another roommate. It's possible, since right now it's only me and Val.

Wishing I was sleeping.

Drag the goodie posters to Eastern Market for yummy fresh fruits to add.

I didn't know you were gone... I was gone too. I'm making an interestingly minimal attempt at weight loss and starting up sewing again. What fun did you cause this week?

I'm not a sheep. Baaaa...

If you wear kakhi anything or look like a tourist, smart goths ignore tourists. I'm game for a space theme.

You had to wait. They'll have to wait. Go enjoy the throne!

Gives a lovely selection of Godiva's peanut butter chocolate cups and the cute litte fruit cups.

Joke's on me. I encouraged a guy that came in to look at a banquet room to have lunch with his large group at my hotel. Now my lunch is almost an hour late. I'm not feeling the love.

You two need to start planning to see each other soon. It'll help.

Trying to remember what I ordered for lunch... Where is lunch. I like lunch. Soooooo bored.

I didn't like the Jukebox! I hated it! Miserable thing really, and they didn't have good music in it! If they had things that weren't country, etc. I would be perfectly happy to see it back. I've bitched at Larry and Garfield when people attempt to play rap at the bar. Seriously, WTF? I come for the atmosphere, really- not kidding, and to meet new people, but playing music that doesn't fit fucks the whole vibe over. I've also balked about the friggin goofy skeletons, and lamely offered to paint something new. I will, if given the oppertunity. It would take me a while to figure out what I feel would set the appropriate mood. Now, the tourists.... If you talk to the tourists- they'll come back. I generally ignore them, and I have personally dressed every new person I bring, so they don't come up to the club wearing inappropriate things. I've bitch slapped tourist that tried to flirt unsuccessfully with me. No self respecting goth girl would bother with a bloody tourist. Fun? How the heck do you not have fun at city? I hear people say they don't have fun all the time. I haven't figured that one out, but I am my own personal party while at city. Go say hi to some new people. Hell, find me- I'll just randomly start introducing you to people. You'll have fun, but I'm hard to follow around- I am randomly inspired to lunge myself at the dancefloor and jump around like a deranged monkey on speed. Truly, that's amusing... People watching has always been fun... Like an outfit- gosh darn it- tell the person, they spend lots of time and energy and money on these things. (unless you're me, I'm cheap) I friggin love City! It's my favorite little shithole!

Goat's crowning as king of Ireland in doubt DUBLIN (Reuters) – The annual crowning of a goat as king of Ireland at one of the country's oldest fairs is in doubt after organizers said the heir to the throne may be stopped from traveling to the festival. Traditionally a male goat is caught in the mountains of Kerry in southern Ireland and paraded through the town of Killorglin where he reigns for the three days of Puck Fair, a centuries-old festival of drinking, music and dancing. Locals may have to desperately trek the nearby hills after this year's chosen animal from the Northern Ireland town of Ballycastle could only get a four-day license for the trip south of the border. "It takes at least a day to bring a goat from Ballycastle to Killorglan and the goat is on the stand for three days. It's not possible to do that within the four days," Puck Fair chairman Declan Mangan told state radio station RTE. "The people in Ballycastle are looking for another goat who would be able to come for an extended trip to Kerry. In the meantime we have to look around the mountains here just incase." Mangan said time is already running out for the local goat catcher to find a replacement for the fair which always falls on August 10-12, despite having origins that are not totally known. "Our problem is if we don't get a goat from the north pretty quick, our goat catch Frank Joy will have to go out onto the mountains and usually he is out for two or three weeks looking for a suitable goat," Mangan said. However the panic could be good news for one lucky goat. "If you are a goat here in the mountains of Kerry, you could well end up being the King Of Ireland for the three days of Puck," Mangan added. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090722/od_nm/us_ireland_goat_odd;_ylt=AtyuwmGKxgy.a01G_SLOR07tiBIF;_ylu=X3oDMTJvZmRpOW9kBGFzc2V0A25tLzIwMDkwNzIyL3VzX2lyZWxhbmRfZ29hdF9vZGQEcG9zAzMEc2VjA3luX2FydGljbGVfc3VtbWFyeV9saXN0BHNsawNnb2F0MzlzY3Jvd24-

Bored at work.

Strange! Humans Glow in Visible Light The human body literally glows, emitting a visible light in extremely small quantities at levels that rise and fall with the day, scientists now reveal. Past research has shown that the body emits visible light, 1,000 times less intense than the levels to which our naked eyes are sensitive. In fact, virtually all living creatures emit very weak light, which is thought to be a byproduct of biochemical reactions involving free radicals. (This visible light differs from the infrared radiation - an invisible form of light - that comes from body heat.) To learn more about this faint visible light, scientists in Japan employed extraordinarily sensitive cameras capable of detecting single photons. Five healthy male volunteers in their 20s were placed bare-chested in front of the cameras in complete darkness in light-tight rooms for 20 minutes every three hours from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. for three days. The researchers found the body glow rose and fell over the day, with its lowest point at 10 a.m. and its peak at 4 p.m., dropping gradually after that. These findings suggest there is light emission linked to our body clocks, most likely due to how our metabolic rhythms fluctuate over the course of the day. Faces glowed more than the rest of the body. This might be because faces are more tanned than the rest of the body, since they get more exposure to sunlight - the pigment behind skin color, melanin, has fluorescent components that could enhance the body's miniscule light production. Since this faint light is linked with the body's metabolism, this finding suggests cameras that can spot the weak emissions could help spot medical conditions, said researcher Hitoshi Okamura, a circadian biologist at Kyoto University in Japan. "If you can see the glimmer from the body's surface, you could see the whole body condition," said researcher Masaki Kobayashi, a biomedical photonics specialist at the Tohoku Institute of Technology in Sendai, Japan. The scientists detailed their findings online July 16 in the journal PLoS ONE. http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20090722/sc_livescience/strangehumansglowinvisiblelight;_ylt=Arz7.IgYoU7GdHyNseMvDHiCfNdF

The other big bang? The theory about space rocks wiping out Ice Age species just got another boost: It turns out the first human inhabitants may have also been hit. Rare "nano-sized diamonds" that form under extremely hot fires are evidence that space rocks hit the North American continent about 13,000 years ago. Unfortunately, some pygmy mammoth (a smaller version of the woolly mammoth) and a group called the Clovis people happened to be in the line of fire. The galactic slam, plus "overhunting and climate change," created what one researcher called a "perfect storm" that wiped out the Ice Age population. The findings swelled searches on Yahoo! for the prehistoric "clovis people," so named because of artifacts first found in Clovis, New Mexico.

You Love Being Single In general, you're very happy being single. You like doing your own thing, and you're happy not to have to compromise. You're not opposed to being attached, but you're not going to settle. Someone else should your enhance your life, and you're happy to wait for that person. I agree to an extent. It's far easier to be single, but even I get boring by myself at times.
