Still looking

I could have sworn that I linked to this before (it’s been on the ‘net for months), but I can’t find it now, and it’s bouncing around the ‘net again. So…

  1. Go to Google.
  2. Type in “weapons of mass destruction” (without the quotes) as your search phrase.
  3. Click the “I’m feeling lucky” button.

Or, just click here. ;)

Yummy!

I just looked at the label on the soda machine here and could have sworn that rather than Cherry Coke, it read Chewey Coke.

Eeeeeewwwww.

Bring 'em on!

Someone needs to shut Bush up — now.

President Bush vowed today to pursue and prosecute Iraqis who attack American troops, saying: \”Bring `em on! We’ve got the force necessary to deal with the security situation.

“Anybody who wants to harm American troops,” Mr. Bush said, “will be found and brought to justice.”

Most people grow out of this schoolyard bully bravado once they leave elementary school. Can we get away with starting a ‘Ball Gags for Bush’ fundraiser drive?

The hat?!?

No one wants to put words in J. K. Rowling’s mouth, but it’s safe to assume that when she hails her readers’ creativity, she has in mind something other than tales wherein Professor Snape is fellated by the Sorting Hat.

Old School

by

Went out to the Vogue last night for an old-school techno night. Only there for a bit (I’m not at my most energetic on Tuesday nights), but much fun. Any night that I get to hear Psychic TV’s ‘I C Water’, Underworld’s ‘Dirty Epic’, and Die Warzau’s ‘All Good Girls’ is a good one for me. :)

Ogre (the doorman for the Vogue, who Chad introduced me to shortly after I got to Seattle) has been doing Tuesday night shindigs for a couple months now, with different themes each week. I’m going to have to start hitting them a bit more often for some mid-week “get out of the damn apartment” evenings.

Next week is a ska night. :) Maybe he’ll play Mu 330’s ‘Stuff’. I’d be happy with that.

Angels or Devils

You ever read Eckhart? Eckhart saw it all too. You know what he said? He said the only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won’t let go of your life. Your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away. But they’re not punishing you, he said. They’re freeing your soul. So…if you’re frightened of dying, and you’re holding on, you’ll see devils tearing your life away. But, if you’ve made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth. It’s just a matter of how you look at it, that’s all.
