More Important Things I've Just Now Realized

I've read more books than I have friends ... by several orders of magnitude.

I MUST HAVE SILENCE!!!

So here's something weird that I just realized is a tic of mine. I just paused the music playing in the background to reply to a text message. And then I did it again to write this post. It's as though I treat music as a form of communication. Kind of makes sense, now that I think about it.

Yeah! I'm not the weird one! It's everyone else.

You Heard It Here First ...

Gvangelist: N. One who consistently and completely unsolicited, proclaims the greatness and overall superiority of all Google software products and insists on your switching everything over to them immediately, ad nauseum.

Full disclosure: I am, in fact, one such Gvangelist. Seriously, Gmail! What are you using? It's better than that! Hotmail? Well, maybe if Hotmail came with unicorns and rainbows. Yahoo Mail? Does anyone still actually use that? Honestly? Horde? Well, OK ... But ... built in chat!

What's that?

AOL? ...

I don't ...

I ...

You ... should go now.

Art Things

This is my latest freelance creation, a found-object, slightly steampunk inspired necklace. It actually ended up looking vaguely scarab-ish. Click the pic for more of the rest of the process and one of the completed, framed piece.

Another Word That I've Been Looking For

Vegangelical

As in, "You know I'm never going to give up bacon, so don't get all vegangelical on me."

To No One in Particular

Cheap Trick had it right, you know. I do want you to want me.

It'd just make everything so much easier on everybody. I'm not sure how the onus ever became solely on me in the first place. How fair is that? Not at all. So get wantin'.

Hypothetically speaking, of course ....

It bothers me a little that your smoking habit is perfectly socially acceptable, but I can't pick my nose in public.

Just a little.

Rhetorically speaking ...

Is it bad that I want a cat (even though I'm allergic to them) just so that I have more fodder for creating lolcats?

Ha! Those things are soooo funny.

Also ...

I saw Stardust recently, from the the novel of the same name by the esteemed Neil Gaiman. In an effort to bolster my unfortunately sagging rate of posting to this blog, I'll attempt a full review ... er ... later.

Sometime this weekend, maybe.

At My Discretion ...

Is it wrong that I completely write off anyone who chews with their mouth hanging open? Or should the question be: Is it right that such people even exist?

The latter, I think.

Speeching

Sometimes, I stutter.
I don't have a speech impediment, or anything.
No, what happens is that I edit all the time, even when I'm speaking. Sometimes when I'm in the middle of a sentence, I realize that it doesn't express quite the right sentiment, or there's another way to say the same thing, just slightly better.
And then I stutter, until the new, better words find their way out.

Also ...

I have a great idea for collection and recycling of valuable space junk that could make someone a mint. Anyone wanna spot me a few mil for research?

Um...

Please ... ?
