The only thing I have to say about Obama
I’m not sure this country is ready for a president that I want to have sex with.
Making friends in Seattle hasn’t been easy. I’d like to find at least one person that: isn’t male doesn’t want to go dancing doesn’t question why I might occasionally listen to metal doesn’t question why I would want to read a nonfiction physics book for pleasure is okay with the fact that most of my friends come from IRC or fazed.org is even more okay with me...

Apple - Set To Screen →
“Great movies are full of adventure, and Australia, the next film from Oscar-nominated director Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge!, William Shakespeare’s Romeo+Juliet), is no exception. But making a movie is an even bigger adventure—an adventure in creativity—and with the Apple Set to Screen Series, you can be a part of it. Every few weeks through October, a new podcast episode from Baz and his...
It is with much shame that I’m going to try to use twitter again. I started my account about a year ago when Jason was going on an extended vacation to try and keep myself busy. My posts were horrible and even I wasn’t interested in what I was saying. I recently noticed friends I never expected to have twitter accounts sitting around dashing off texts left and right to the service (I...

fuckinnerd: courtneyj: Village Inn at 2am is something I lack in Seattle. I don’t know what Village Inn is, but the other person mentioned 13 coins. Meaning late night food. How about Beth’s Cafe? Or anywhere in China Town… I am still new to this town, and have no friends that like to stay out late here. I have so much learn! I don’t know anything but Denny’s or IHOP for late...

A beer in the hand is worth a bag of dicks in the bush.
I’m flying to Tulsa tomorrow, and I leave Seattle at 12:40 and finally arrive there at 8:10. I’m thinking of taking “Hiding in the Mirror: The Quest for Alternate Realities, from Plato to String Theory (by way of Alicein Wonderland, Einstein, and The Twilight Zone)” by Lawrence Krauss with me to fill some of that ridiculous amount of time. I tried to start it right after...
I Hit Caps Lock For Every Single Capital I Type.
thewordunheard: fatmanatee: HEY! All you women that say you want geeks: where were you in high school, when I was wearing t-shirts that were two sizes too large, mastering my craft at Mario Kart 64, and getting into wrestling matches in school, complete with finishers? You weren’t throwing yourselves at me then, and, well, you still aren’t throwing yourselves at me. SO THERE. where was i in...
Olly olly oxen free - Wikipedia →
“The exact origin of the phrase is unknown, but etymologists suspect it is a childish corruption of the German “Alle, alle auch sind frei!”, (literally, “Everyone, everyone also is free!”), which is purported to have been a cruel joke often played upon Holocaust victims by their jailers. At any particular time, a prisoner might be released, immediately upon which the...

topherchris: Wow. People are setting up entire Wikis devoted to themselves now? When did this start?I decided back in December to set one up for myself and to branch out from it to cover not only my family genealogy but also the events in my life, a living memoir of sorts. I haven’t opened it up for public viewing yet, but as soon as there’s enough content I don’t mind people...

How does one really go about getting jewelry custom made?
I’ve wanted to tattoo the insides of my wrists for quite awhile, but older wiser is getting the best of me.
One of the ideas comes from a bracelet in a book, so maybe my urge could be resolved with a recreation. As for the other wrist, I’d like to try a word necklace, but instead of “sexy” or...
