Only Sunday, 8:30am here. Staggered out of bed, reading WGB, eating a banana and drinking caffeinated water. Will air up mtn bike and go for a ride in a few minutes.

Did a ton of shopping yesterday, washed the car and then watched about half of The Wire Season 3. Damn that show is good!

Yesterday, at 7pm, I parked my truck with a for sale sign on it, at a lot on I400. Last night at 8opm I got a call about it. Today, at 830am, I sold it! I sold it for more than I paid for it!

Buy low, sell high.

Aw, c'mon! Mine was so long I posted it elsewhere and put a link up on Personal Canon. Don't let wordiness hold you back.

C'mon!

Quote" buy low, sell high". -Dawntreader...Congrats and good work. Almost unloaded an old clunker today. Postponed until tomorrow. .......Quote " I realised I'd never post it".- Misty...c'mon confession is good for the soul..........Hey, sloane635, are you still into jazz? If so I'll post a link to my former father-inlaw, a jazz pianist.

Well Noir, drooling won by a hair. If we had of stayed another half hour it would have been complete bastard. Spending a day with my parents is trying stuff.

I went on a bit of a google this morning to see which libraries around the world might have picked up my Undead Theories book. Heaps bought the earlier book (Weaving Narrative Nets), but probably as much because it was part of a series as on its own merits.

In the process I found this reference, in a place I wouldn't really expect to find myself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photomontage

Turns out I'm being used on Wikipedia as a source for the term 'photoshopping': http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoshopping

It ain't 'cyberspace', but it's cool in a sideways way.

A couple of things I love about this post. You "discovered" something in your own house and that a few years back the women in my family discovered so called "edible" flower pots. Sugar flowers with dirt made of crushed oreo.

Yummy, and I would totally be all about edible cookie dirt.

Congrats! but I am curious, "might've"????

Have you met 'dirt desert'? Chocolate mousse with crumbled chocolate biscuit (cookie) on top and candy worms

'candied worms' is something different entirely

I wrote an article for a Geek forum I habituate about a computer I built.

C'mon!

yours is great, sloane!

i.. i think just the writing of mine (well a quarter of it anyway if that's where i leave it) is what i needed from the exercise. and in some ways, perhaps because of the way i've lived my life (not too heavy on achievement and involvement in much other than relationships and emotion) i'm not sure whether it suits a cribbs note style format. maybe it's also a power play on my part that i only really want people to get me if they can nut it out themselves.

i cut and pasted and emailed it to myself instead.

Loved it! While reading your bio I saw a few things we have in common. I hated Dune Messiah, I am half mexican american and half scotch irish . Lab work can suck. Love dogs too. That is about it. Thanks for the link..... Oh, and my american boxer rules.

Tonight, while driving on a dark road, a lightning bug hit the winshield. It was beautiful and kinda tragic.

i just read the email i sent myself and was surprised to find how rich the vein of shame is.

something I would not have guessed about you... guess my nutting out remains a work in progress

you and me both!

i reckon it's all because i was potty trained by 11 months. (kidding!)(i was though.)

I was going to attempt that bio thing but I don't think I have the time now

what with all that mind uploading!

sounds so exciting, TM.

Haha yeah, I haven't got enough bandwidth in my Ono-Sendai Cerebyte 4000 mind-link to upload All Purpose Acting V3.0, the Best of Ethan Hawke add-on, and download my pop cultural history from those old cobwebby IBM mainframes. My tubes are tied!

was at a gig last night. the loudest i've been to in a long time. DJ before the band was playing noise, and it was louder than most bands. so the band were just about this wall of guitar noise. i feel so deaf today. normally i hear the first bleeps of my alarm, which starts quiet and get louder, instead this morning i heard the first vibration of my phone alarm. but i guess at least it means i was too deaf to be woken by the birds this morning. though given i scraped ice from the car window as i left this morning, maybe it was too damn cold for them - and this is summer!
