aloha!

fret not dear blog readers! i have yet to be swallowed up by a black hole, although i was feeling fairly interdimensional there for a few days, time loops and all. lets hope it stays that way.

i've had a couple beers and have forgotten, only temporarily i hope, my blogworthy material. it'll come back to me, unless...

the end?

my home internet is on the outs in an attempt to upgrade thats left me with below passing.

first excuse, done.
secondly i feel rushed to blog in the off chance that the universe ceases to exist today, or within the next segment of time if cern does something to the space-time-continuum. i'm keeping my fingers crossed for success versus extinction, although a parallel universe could be quite interesting if we were privy to it.

i don't really think that i'm getting old but my junk mail seems to suggest otherwise. apparently i've gotten on some cremation mass mailing list, which i didn't even think existed. i've begun receiving prepaid cremation offers and even the chance to win a free prepaid cremation. weird. its definitely the oddest thing i've ever gotten in the mail.

some words of wisdom. if you are buying a bedframe from ikea make sure you buy the midbeam separately. it is quite frustrating when your bed is contructed yet useless in function.

i've also been wondering what the criteria is for joining a-space, is it an invite only thing like gmail? i'm hoping my lack of federal affiliation won't count against me.

phew. i'm glad i finally got all that out. if cern fails and my blogging ceases too, at least you were forwarned.

take that you ridiculous genotyping platform!

i love that i found this on cnn. i mean who cares about the democratic national convention, right?

sometimes i wonder what the world would be like if dogs were more evolved, like in jonathan lethem's gun with occasional music. would they go to dnn to read about what the crazy humans were up to?

yes i might probably have too much time on my hands and/or an overactive imagination. what can i say, i was an only child.

today my boss told me i was right, it was glorious.

happy tuesday

just so you know, the 26th of august is one of my favorite days. it happens to be the birthday of a very good friend of mine which also happens to fall on the anniversary of the day women were granted the right to vote. every year i visualize alice paul, as hilary swank from iron-jawed angels, grasping victory at last, except sometimes i put alissa's face on her instead, just for birthday kicks all the while playing suffragette city in the back of my mind. so thanks to all those strong women who fought so brilliantly for the rest of us.

maybe next year i'll organize a flash mob to celebrate.

lastly, if i'm unhappy in my job in first life, will a more fulfilling job in second life make first life better too? do people have jobs in second life?

thank you

dear mazatlan,

i got the parasites you sent me. you shouldn't have.

don't worry, i still love you and the extra vacation.

best,
plentiful sunshine

jumping ship

in old mazatlan the trash cans look like postal boxes. this was very confusing as i walked around with sunscreen in my eyes and dirty tissues in my hands for three blocks. i hope i'm not the only person affected.

also, i will gladly not drink pacificos for at least two weeks.

mazatlan, i miss you.

take that!

i will not be blogging this week, i will be in mexico. suckers.
