Updated ye olde profile.

Now leave me alone, stupid alert thingie that's telling me to update my journal.

Sorry I've been away for a week (if, in fact, anyone has noticed); Windows Update installed SP2 on my machine, and immediately thereafter, I couldn't open IE, Norton, or Outlook. I was finally able to get Mozilla Firefox, so I at least have a browser now (and what a nice browser it is).

Things are decent. Had a good art class last night. Right now,...

On Idiots Who Pretend to Be Smart
A Dissection

I recently had the dubious (dis)pleasure of being roped into what some people might--and apparently would--term a "flamewar". Personally, I prefer "spirited debate," though I guess when it degraded into the Mom jokes, it became rather more inflammatory. I maintain, however, that on a sliding scale, it falls somewhere between "lit match" and "abnormally luminescent candle."...

Dear Fingertips,

Look.

I've invested a lot of time in this guitar. I am bound and determined to have relative proficiency with it by the time I graduate. It's really quite a nice guitar, and given my affinity for music--specifically, producing it--I would greatly appreciate it if you could get on board with me, since I really need your cooperation. I know it hurts right...

Today's Autumn is a stretch after a long sleep: crystalline and breezy, full of light and vitality. The leaves haven't really started to turn, but I can already hear them crackling and whispering amongst themselves, impatiently awaiting their impending metamorphoses. Everyone's excited to be wearing long sleeves and light jackets--I've seen scarves and sweatshirts and peacoats already--because there's something comforting in being bundled and layered,...

Anyone seen Rescue Me? I've seen a few episodes now, and I tuned in to the shiny new one just in time to see Denis Leary in one HOT fucking sex scene with this chick. And it follows Nip/Tuck on Tuesday! That's way too much back-to-back sex for my poor unfulfilled libido to take. And yet, here we are.

F/X is now officially...

New pictures! They're not provocative by any stretch of the imagination, I'm afraid, but I just went over to the Environmental Center to take a bunch of random pictures, and inside the building they've got lots and lots of tinted glass. Tinted glass is fun! I took pictures of other stuff besides myself, but I didn't figure you'd care too much about those, so, yeah....

Thinking about taking more pictures.

Have no idea what I want to do.

Conundrum!

I think I'm going to have to get my navel repierced. I took the ring out for like, two days a couple of weeks ago, and it started to heal up right away-- even though I've had the damn thing for three years and I barely ever take it out. So I tried to put the ring back in, and instead, I made a new...

Wow, it's been almost a week since I've written here. Sorry about that. And to those of you who have written comments and not gotten replies? Until recently, I did what is apparently a Typical Dumbass Newbie move and posted all my replies in MY journal instead of the respective commenters' journals. So, you know. Check the entry you posted to and see if there's...
