12:45 pm	MEEEEEME Got tagged for this by mooncalfe aka Comic Book Pimp Ross Campbell. Who sleeps in bed next to you? The haunting specter of loneliness. What did you last eat? My roommate woke me up by putting hot, fresh bacon in my mouth. It is THE BEST way to wake up, barring perhaps waking up to sex. What kind of books do you read? All kinds, but lately I've been reading a lot of nonfiction books about weird stuff, like The Cosmic Serpent, Zero, A Life Inspired, Brief History of Time, You Are Being Lied To, etc. If you could be anywhere right now, where would it be? An awesome, impeccably decorated, repurposed warehouse in the industrial district of East L.A., living with my sister and having a shit ton of fun. What's really creepy? Spiders and centipedes! And the scene in Quarantine where they encounter their first zombie, and it's the old lady who's sobbing and freaking out because she wants nothing more than to eat the flesh of the living, but still has enough humanity and understanding to know how wrong and alien that desire is. Name one odd item within five feet of you. A life-sized plastic skull with maggots on it. It's on top of the TV as a Halloween party decoration, which we have been to lazy to remove any of, even though the party was like at least a week ago. What's your current fandom / obsession / addiction? The Protomen, Ross Campbell's Shadoweyes, Scott Pilgrim, Life cereal, etc. What did you really want to do today that you didn't? Don't know! I haven't been up that long yet. I guess let's go with "have gotten more sleep." My own fault for going to bed at like 4:30 am. What are you most excited for? The new netbook I am currently on! Thanks, belated birthday gift from mom. Oh, and the Kick-Ass movie! What are you least excited for? Figuring out what my living situation is going to be soon. What websites do you always visit when you go online? Gmail, hotmail, the SomethingAwful forums, arXiv blog, deviantart, LJ, Facebook What was the last thing you bought? Dinner at BJs for my friend and I. If you could have any pet, what would it be? Chocobo. What do you want right this minute, off the top of your head? A third job, or one full time job. Where is the place you like to return to in order to calm down / relax / etc.? Jenn's room, but I don't get to go there anymore really. Plus, it sort of lacks the effect when she's not in it. :/ How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop? Ewww, everything Tootsie is gross. Who is your fictional crush? Oh god, so many. Umm, let's go with... Zoe from Left4Dead. Are there any bits of childhood that you miss? I miss the ability to be entirely in the moment. To never feel like what you're doing is a waste of time. Say something to the person who tagged you. Hi! I'm honored to be one of the first 8 people you think of when it comes to the internet, I guess? tag 8 people: No one I tag will probably do this, but here goes. conformer elegantmess gaffeizil xellyfer whatever Tam's current name is violetonyx zsander kick_em_out (Comment on this)

12:56 pm	Tougher spider silk Scientists have found that impregnating  biomaterials such as spider silk with small amounts of metal at the nanomolecular level can greatly increase their strength. They theorize that the process could be used for many other kinds of biomaterial. http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/editors/23426/ Of course my first thought is "aren't human bones a biomaterial?"

12:21 pm	I miss Michael Jackson :'C I'm reading his Wiki page and he had a much, much harder and sadder life than I realized. He got a pretty bad wrap for a while there, and he didn't deserve any of it. Oddly enough, it reminds me of what they said in The Dark Knight. "You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain." Michael lived long enough to see himself become the villain, but judging by his memorial, he at least got to die a hero as well. I just wish we hadn't been so terrible to him in his life. I guess when the population of an entire planet is obsessed with you, they'll use you up in any way you let them. I hope he's at peace. Current Mood: sad (2 Comments |Comment on this)

11:02 pm	So... I pretty much made Jenn eat a huge chunk of Kryptonite this evening, and by way of making good, I am coming here to admit this humiliating tidbit to the world: The first thing I ever jerked off to was an instructional leaflet that came with a pack of tampons. That is all. Current Mood: hrrm (7 Comments |Comment on this)

12:46 pm	Celebrating in a dying world. On this Christmas Eve, millions (not to mention the untold others who make merry in the name of numerous other year-end ceremonies) will be gathering with their loved ones to enjoy each other's company and celebrate making it through another year. Before we abandon ourselves to drunken revelry and poorly conceived holiday sweaters, let us stop for a moment and think about why we do this; why we've done this since the beginning of time. Christmas, Hannukah, these and others are just the latest incarnation of the age-old tradition of celebration of the winter solstice. Think back to early man. He toiled constantly to survive, and understood little. Every year, the skies would grow cloudy and dark, the earth would become hard and fruitless, the air cold and rainy. He didn't understand why this happened, so all across the world he came up with various reasons. Gods. Spirits. The stars. Regardless the explanation, the reaction tended to be similar; find your loved ones, come together, hunker down and share what you have. Tell and hear stories. Ask how they're doing out in wherever they live. Smile as you hold the tiny new life they brought into the world. Every year, celebrate what life you've earned even as the Earth grows cold and dies. And that, I think, is the point. We don't always think of it this way, but winter is the death of the world we know. Plants drop their leaves, animals hide away for months, the very sun seems miserly with its precious warmth even on the days you can still see it. The world dies, and man, early or modern, understands that he truly has no idea or control over when he will follow suit. Remember this. Even as you celebrate the joy and life of yourself and your loved ones, nothing ever stops dying. Keep that desperation in your heart as you embrace distant family and welcome visiting friends. Remember it as you enjoy your feasts and share your gifts. If hunger is the best of spices, that knowledge will be the clearest lense though which you will remember this time, for one day you will be in the winter of your life, and all you will have or want will be to hold on to those memories. In the end, those are all that will matter. So please, be safe, have a warm and loving holiday, and remember that one day soon or far, you'll be growing cold as well, and I hope that knowledge makes you insatiably hungry to savor the time you have now.

12:31 am	On the trendiness of poverty. So I've been seeing and hearing a new word that absolutely fucking galls me. You may have noticed it too. It's one of those new terms that marketers, newsmakers, and PR departments come out with every once in a while, presumably to manufacture a demographic; the tail wagging the dog, or by my reckoning, the turd finding a dog to have been shit from. This magical new piece of language? Recessionista. Mull that one over for just a second longer. Recessionista. God forbid we allow people to fully understand the magnitude of what is happening in our economy. God forbid we call it something other than a credit "crunch" or a "squeeze." God forbid we treat a serious situation with any kind of gravity. Just because you lost all your savings for the future and/or the kids' college education doesn't mean you have to stop being fabulous! Just because your house is being foreclosed doesn't mean you should stop looking for cheaper ways to keep up with the Joneses or thrifty ways to look like you're not the dreaded "p" word. Poor. You've seen it before. You've worked at a place that habitually could not give you a raise, instead giving you ever-grander bullshit titles. This is essentially the same. "If we don't come up with something for people to call themselves other than 'poor,' they might actually start to think about all the things that are wrong with the status quo," the decision makers worriedly ponder. "We can't have them realize that there's barely such a thing as the 'middle class' anymore! We can't have them hop off the hamster wheel for one fucking second! Somebody get me public relations." Well I got news for you, bossman. There's nothing "fun" or "cool" about poverty, though you're about to see it get a hell of a lot trendier. Besides. Everyone knows it stops being cool when everyone does it, and I've been living hand to mouth since way before it was popular. Fucking posers. Current Mood: hungry (2 Comments |Comment on this)
