(a penny for your thoughts) [24 Jul 2008|01:41am] oatmeal just talked to Cozeth on the phone for a while. Talking about Portland and the people there still feels like talking about home. One of my friends is dating a lady I used to have a crush on; my ex-girlfriend is dating some guy on the other side of the country; so-and-so and so-and-so are working here, or there, and getting along, or not, and do you remember that place at that corner? It hurts, a little. I miss the people, and the city; but also it's nice just to know that they're still there. I'm very lonely here, is what I'm trying to say.

(a penny for your thoughts) twits [22 Jul 2008|11:08pm] phinnia ( all back here. )

(9 pay a penny for your thoughts) ... oh my. [22 Jul 2008|08:16pm] phinnia [ mood | astonished ] [ music | raindrops keep falling on my head - ben folds five cover (in capita) ] It will be like the movie Groundhogs(sic) Day starring Bill Murray. ... WHAT THE WHAT NOW OKAY. NOT SAFE FOR LIFE. From the lovely adularia, who thought of me when she read it. <3

(9 pay a penny for your thoughts) two things [22 Jul 2008|03:17pm] phinnia [ music | nightswimming - r.e.m ] Undoubtedly a response to the Recent Contest Drama, but a good one: this House fanfiction contest looks like it'll be fun. <3 Nifty art sculpture: Numbskull. So, so tired. Despite that fact, things appear to be almost clean. Other parents are PISSING ME OFF by whining about their Special Snowflakes over email using 'reply all', as though we all give a damn (or more likely because they are inept). Cute little girl with Downs' Syndrome on Seaners' bus seems to like him, and me. <3 Carrying on. Happy Tuesday, y'all.

(3 pay a penny for your thoughts) science is hot [22 Jul 2008|09:07am] phinnia [ mood | curious ] [ music | aircooler go whoosh ] From the most excellent geekchick, The Particle Zoo.

(15 pay a penny for your thoughts) ... um. [21 Jul 2008|08:24pm] phinnia [ mood | confused ] [ music | our retired explorer! - the weakerthans ] This hurts my brain: octopus sex man avoids jail. Seriously, octopus?

(6 pay a penny for your thoughts) cleaning out teh bpal box [21 Jul 2008|04:41pm] phinnia Sales list here! Includes lots of LE and GC imps plus mostly full bottles of Bakeneko, Tamano-No-Me and Love's Philosophy! I will ship overseas: let me know and we can figure out shipping. Paypal only please. Prices are somewhat flexible - make me an offer! If you want to swap, my wishlist is here.

(1 pay a penny for your thoughts) They didn't want the toner to get smudged in shipment [21 Jul 2008|01:57pm] cluebyfour Epic packaging fail from HP.  Just imagine if they shipped, you know, actual hardware.  Would a single 1U blade be delivered via forklift and armed escort?

(5 pay a penny for your thoughts) talk about inspiring [20 Jul 2008|06:14pm] phinnia [ mood | charmed ] [ music | surfing on a rocket - air ] From my amazing girl machineplay: Alabama man turns 112, still spends days drawing. Just - astounding. I want to be writing when i'm that old.

(2 pay a penny for your thoughts) YE OLDE BUCKET LIST [20 Jul 2008|10:34am] alternativeware [ mood | energetic ] [ music | Artista: The Offspring Canción: The O.C. Life ] Por una excelente recomendación de mi amiga star_of_freedom decidí bajar todo el material a disposición del grupo Avantasia por Torrent y me lleve una muy agradable sorpresa con el material que encontré y que ahora es el deleite de mis oidos. Los discos elegidos para las adquisiciones de la semana en consecuencia fueron: Empezando desde el material primigenio como es debido en el análisis musical que refiere al grupo del vocalista de Edguy (banda conocida solo de nombre por algunas referencias musicales más no por conocer su material), debo decir que va más allá de lo que esperaba, realmente tiene todos los elementos de grupos como Dream Theater o H.I.M. que me gustan tanto añidiendole el toque a la Andrew Lloyd Weber y un poquito de las operas clásicas. Toda una puesta de escena auditivamente hablando que merece la atención de todo el que ama el metal tanto como yo. La segunda parte es mejor con más experimentación y los riesgos que esto conlleva, pero sin perder el toque característico. Realmente hay piezas como "No Return" que me dieron reminiscencias al sonido de Iron Maiden y otras que simplemente me trajeron a la mente a Sonata Artica. En fin, aunque soy partidario de la frase de Spielberg: "Segundas partes nunca fueron buenas", debo decir que este disco es la excepción a la regla. Proximamente haré reseña a The Scarecrow y Lost In Space de los mismos, solo es cuestión de quemarlos y oirlos con calma.

(3 pay a penny for your thoughts) saturday saturday [19 Jul 2008|02:51pm] phinnia [ mood | groggy ] [ music | new pornographers ] Slow day today; I slept nearly ten hours and still took a nap mid-morning. But after some coffee and a bowl of strawberries and ice cream my head is finally clear again. Clicky of the day: New England soccer (or 'football', as you prefer) team subdues unruly nude passenger mid-flight. No, really.

(7 pay a penny for your thoughts) still more clickies [18 Jul 2008|10:48am] phinnia [ mood | exhausted ] [ music | i have the ricearoni theme in my head. really. ] Courtesy my most awesome, amazing girlfriend: Measure to name sewage treatment plant after President Bush is on the California ballot for November. WIN. This is very nifty: how to reduce packaging: ideas from Japan. SERIOUSLY cool. God, my brain is oatmeal, I swear. ETA: I just recieved the little box of socks which is all sock knitting patterns! Very, very cute. And a nice form factor (they're all on laminated cards, very handy.) Mmmm, nomnom socks.

(13 pay a penny for your thoughts) important stuff for writertype peoples, which I know a whole heck of a lot of [18 Jul 2008|10:03am] phinnia [ mood | chipper ] [ music | air cooler go whoosh ] Found in the comments elsejournal: If you go to Giveaway of the Day today you can download Liquid Story Binder, which looks to be a handy type organizational program for writertype people. You have to download and install it today - it'll give you an activation code - but it's free. PC-only I am reasonably sure; it claims XP and Vista. *passing on the love*

(3 pay a penny for your thoughts) clickies for friday [18 Jul 2008|08:59am] phinnia [ mood | high ] [ music | weakerthans ] Proving starsong's theory that cephalopods are probably out to rule us all: Monster octopi with scores of extra tentacles. Ten most disturbing spa treatments. Seriously, wtf? Pardon any typos in this. Will fix later after morning hot-flash-and-woozy-o-rama-fest.

(12 pay a penny for your thoughts) still moar clickies [17 Jul 2008|05:08pm] phinnia [ mood | exhausted ] [ music | stand - r.e.m ] guy pierces his goldfish. Here 'goldfish' is a euphemism for 'goldfish'. No really. odd looking marine animals you never knew existed. Achieved today: drugstore run, picked up methadone 'scrip, got pedicure. (I don't know what it's called when your podiatrist does it, but it's basically a pedicure in my brain.) Movies picked up at video store: 'Double Happiness', 'Mongolian Ping Pong' and the first season of 'This Hour Has 22 Minutes'. Rockin'.
