Actually, most of the REAL goths I know in Huntsville are totally evil, have no respect for human life, and own veritable arsenals of weapons.

And none of them wear overalls, Nascar or otherwise.

All of the guys do wear skirts, though…and look prettier in them than I do…

Now this is just NEAT.
I bet Lucasarts is just WAITING to wave a lawsuit in this young genius’ face, so they can steal his idea.

Now if they can make a “Force” simulator, allowing me to choke my compatriots..

This Russian News Site eurasia.org.ru, is devoted to reporting scarce Central Asian news, and also features an open (unmoderated) forum.

While this sounds like a great idea, some people don’t think so.

BAHAHA! The Offspring is offering unauthorized Napster merchandise, and is keeping the profits!
This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in at least 3 hours.

Now lest you get the wrong idea about The Offspring (who IMNSHO are talentless prettyboys), here’s a link to a Rolling Stone writeup describing their support for Napster and Internet-distributed music in general.

For those of you interested in webdesign-type stuff, and (more to the point) to keep me from forgetting this link, here’s a nice HowTo on image splicing.

Cool! This site is 370% bullshit!

A few months ago I ordered a monitor from GoGo City.com. I won’t begin to tell you how bad this company sucks; you’ll just have to read the ratings yourself.

Even better, it appears that shortly after my debacle,

“one or more employees of this company have created several fraudulent ResellerRatings accounts and have been submitting positive votes for their company, while submitting negative votes for competitors to falsely bash their scores. These evaluations were submitted from several gogocity.com IP’s,”
states Scott Wainner, Admin of ResellerRatings.com.

I’m watching the X-Files, and I just don’t get it. I think maybe it’s because I watch the X-Files stroboscopically, a show here, a show there. It could also be because this projector unit is too dim.

Thanks again to the hundreds (okay, okay, dozens) who have sent me cheer-up emails, icqs, cards, flowers, and dancing girls. I’ll be sure to remember you all when your current love interest copulates with a guy named Rupert.

I’m really feeling a lot better. I did the ritual Reclaiming-of-Stuff on Friday, dumping off three years’ worth of stuff, and getting my answering machine and the little computer I’d loaned her. Some of my friends had urged me to get the VCR and Playstation, but no, those were gifts I’d given her; I just wanted what was rightfully mine.

Many thanks to all of you who sent me cheer-up emails (or bought me dinner, Rod). I really appreciate your support.

I’m feeling a lot better. I think typing all of this has helped a lot; rather like a mental ablution.
