The June Fortean Times is in - the usual entertaining miscellany
It's got Bishop Richard Williamson for a start. A prize bigot, chauvinist, anti-Semite and slimeball. He endorses The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, for a start. And condemns The Sound of Music as pornography. No, arsehole, *you're* the only one who thinks the Julie Andrews character was a pedophile.
There's also a round-up of copycat suicides; suicide-inducing music; and self-immolation in the 70s.
Also a truly scathing review of a book that claims humans were incapable of abstract thought before Socrates; Empathy before Jesus; and love at first sight before Dante - and much more. Johnathan Black = moron.
Plus the last time a woman, and an African-American, ran for the Presidency - 1872. Victoria Woodhull tried again in 1884 and 1892.
And La Smorfia, the Neopolitan numerology cult for finding lottery numbers in dreams. It's got a couple of cunning wys to explain why you just blew your savings for nothing, too. Including "If it didn't work this time, the numbers are still good for the next two draws"; and "If you tell anybody the numbers you won't win anything" - thus reinforcing the rare times someone actually does win.
They've got some odd number-dream symbols too - 40 = Hernia, for example. Or 30 = The Lieutenant's Balls. Do *you* ever dream of lieutenant's balls? Who ever came up with THAT link, and why were they dreaming of cheese, squids in guitars, and prostitutes?
But alas no Hunt Emerson & his Phenomenomix, or the Heirophant. Looks like he really is gone :( |

Weddings, or How Not to Annoy Your Local Judaica Store Clerk <note> This is probably the beginnings of a book proposal. One day I will write this book. You can trust that my own wedding plans will not be accompanied by any of this insanity. </note>
- If you want to have an art ketubah, please understand that it's going to take time. Once that level understanding has been reached, please remember to build in the necessary time - anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks (minimum). If the artist or store requires that your officiant (rabbi, cantor, best friend) approve the information before the order can be processed, please make sure they stay on top of it. "Hunting down your rabbi to get him to approve the information before it is too late to be submitted" was never in my job description.
- If you need modifications to a lithographed ketubah, please understand that they will be made at the artist's discretion. They know their design better than you do. If they tell you (through me) that a modification can't be made, please listen to them (and me). You went to them because you like their design. Please trust them.
- Corollary to #2 - At a certain point, the modifications you may want begin to infringe upon the actual design. If you want that much control, commission an original design. You'll get exactly what you want. However, you will pay for it.
- When ordering benchers from a brick and mortar store, please do not mention how it is "so much cheaper online." If it's that much cheaper, buy online. Please remember that you will get what you pay for.
- Feel free to order any personalized items (kippot, benchers, ketubah, etc.) well in advance. It's always nice to cross another item off of your list. However, please understand that any of these items are processed by date of affair, and not by date submitted. If you must have the items by a specific date that is more than 2 weeks before the affair, let me know. I will do my best.
- I told you they'd be in on time. Calling every day starting a month before the affair will NOT get them in any faster.
These are just a few pieces of advice I wish to pass along to those planning weddings. Be nice to your local Judaica Store clerk. She probably has at least 2 other weddings besides yours that she is worrying about. And when you thank her, it makes her day. Current Mood:  annoyedCurrent Music: Lirael |

I just noticed a teenaged guy standing outside my bedroom window, staring inside my room, eating an apple. I went to my front door, opened it, and had the following conversation with him: Me: Uh. Do you need something? Him: Oh. Uh. Is that American Idol? Me: ...Yeah... Him: What channel is it on? Me: 13? Him: Ohh. Okay. Uhm. Sorry. (He then walks off) Current Mood:  confused |

Student Housing
I am curious to find out more about the student housing procedures. The website doesn't talk about availability and whether or not certain buildings are harder to get into than others. I just submitted my application and I chose studios in five of the historic buildings.
Anyone able to provide insight regarding my chances of being assigned a building and room that I did not choose? |

Rearranging
I got home from work and I decided to rearrange my furniture. I wanted there to be a way to get more natural light in my apartment so I didn't have to have lights on more, now that it's going to be sunnier out. I have a large window facing the street so I thought I should take advantage of that. Plus I can see cyclists going down the street which is kind of cool. However, the noise factor increases with an open window; buses go down the street about every 15 minutes during the day, and large trucks are often downing down the road to the various warehouses around here. My other big window faces an alley so it doesn't help much in that department.
My table now is parallel with the kitchen area and my computer is still at one of the ends of the table, but facing the alley. I put my TV and Wii next to the alley window so I can watch TV without moving my chair (I'm lazy plus I can do other things during commercials). My main problem is currently I cannot watch TV since I don't have enough plugs over by it. None of the cords can reach the power strip that my computer is using. |

for the record...
I stopped by Marion Co. Elections office today and found out that if you are already a registered voter, you can update your information and still receive a ballot up until 8pm the day of the election. You just can't register for the first time that late, or change parties. So if any of you other locals out there did like I did and forgot to change your address or something, there's still time! |

drop a heart, break a name The Steps: 1) Put your iTunes or whatever on random. 2) Post the first stanza from the first 10 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing. Addendum: If the first stanza includes the song title in the words, skip the song. 3) Bold out the lyrics when someone (you guys) comments, guessing the song correctly. 4) Looking up lyrics on Google or similar is CHEATING and... I will smite you if you do this. Because somehow I will know. Obviously. And....Go! |

Lets hear it for My Space
My 15 year old daughter and a few friends (one in particular) got into some sort of arguement relating to a myspace comment. Now you mix hormone raging teens with myspace and you can sometimes get unpredicted results. They were practically inseperable this year, and now they treat each other like the devil. Of course, other friends get drug into this and are expected to "take sides". The whole thing is truly amazing. Of course if I pry a little and try to find out whats going on, I promptly get told that "its none of my business". Its probably just as well that I stay out of it. |

going mormon/scientologist
here is a question I know a lot of you will just love to answer.
i'd like to go mormon/scientologist. what is the difference between the two?
also, what is the best way to transition in a healthy way without completely shocking my system? what should I do about making sure I get all the proper stress tests and holy underwear etc?
books, websites, tabernacles in Portland (lolol)?

a light of some kind
I wake up starving for your touch, for the sensation of your body against mine. I wake up, hungering, not aware of time or light or space, just needing you on and in me. The yearning is a hot hot heat, seeping from my core to my tips. I feel my spine stretch and curve into the crescent of your belly. I feel my hips widen and push into your lap. My hands are seeking your hips, your arms, your shoulders. My tongue is wet inside my mouth and my breath comes deep, and slow, and deep again. I'm thick with desire and think of nothing but the dire need for you to slip inside and push me, and stroke me, and sip and sup of me. The light creeps in, your kiss is weightless and you smile - wide and clear. Sensibility brightens the room, my pupils shrink and tighten. Your up and slipping into jeans instead of slipping into me. I feel slighted. I feel short of breath. The heat dissipates. It cools and hardens. My stomach is tight and flat and solid. My hands press into the mattress, dig into thick cotton and grab hold. Your shirt is on, your shoes. Your telling me loving things, your caressing my hair and promising me affection. My retinas are pin pricks. I feel desolate. You're leaving, you've left. My breath draws even slower. The light is precise and fills my room. I crawl to stand. I rise and shower. I've grown cold. |

next: giving up brush clearing until Tibet is free From the Guardian UK's Sport page, dated Wednesday May 14 2008: WASHINGTON, May 13 (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush said on Tuesday he quit playing golf in 2003 out of respect for the families of Americans killed in the war in Iraq.
"I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the Commander-in-Chief playing golf," Bush said in an interview with Yahoo and Politico.com.
"I feel I owe it to the families to be as -- to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal," he said.
Bush said his last round of golf was in August 2003 when he was informed that a truck bomb had wrecked the U.N. headquarters in Baghdad, killing 22 people, including U.N. envoy Sergio Vieira de Mello.
"They pulled me off the golf course and I said, it's just not worth it anymore to do," Bush said. |
