about me
I don't drink enough water every day. Except when I am at Burningman.
I ride alone on my motorcycle. And usually in an unspecified direction for thousands of miles.
I am good at voices and characterizations. I am bad at remembering good jokes.
I can affect people deeply with my writing. But I am afraid to write my best stuff down.
I am a championship snuggler. And yet I am consistently single.
Only Happy gives better hugs than I do.
My dog has a truly wonderful life. I am proud of that.
I have a large selection of coats. But only three pairs of underwear.
Alternative Fuels = more of the wrong way of thinking
(blog entry)
I had a realization the other day: ANY alternative fuel to fossil fuels is no better than the fossil fuel.
Here is why...
1. There is no natural material you can drop in the tank of your vehicle (or power plant, or lawnmower, or whatever). E...

Seamster?

So the female is a "seamstress", so I am going to call myself a "Seamster"!
For the first time since I graduated from Fashion Design school (hah! didn't know I had a degree in Fashion Design now, didja?), I am using the skills I learned in scho...

Thanks, Federal Gummint!
(blog entry)
Jeez... sitting here with a head cold all weekend... so I figure I'll do my taxes. I have lotsa spare time, and need a little cheering up. My taxes are easy and I always get a refund, so this seems promising.
So I go through filing and I get a ...

It never stops, never relents, never pauses... does it?

If I believed in a god, then I would know why life is like this right now. He/she/it is testing me.
However, since I do not believe in any sort of god, then I am forced to accept that I have brought this all on myself, and I am entirely respons...

Let's review:
1. New York City
2. Some recent memorable terrorist experiences
3. Bomb

I had a realization the other day: ANY alternative fuel to fossil fuels is no better than the fossil fuel.
Here is why...
1. There is no natural material you can drop in the tank of your vehicle (or power plant, or lawnmower, or whatever). Every single thing out there - oil, switch grass, or any of the so-called "bio fuels" - must be refined.
2. Refining means stripping the energy-rich parts out, and leaving behind the bits with little or no potential energy. That means the result of...

For the first time since I graduated from Fashion Design school (hah! didn't know I had a degree in Fashion Design now, didja?), I am using the skills I learned in school to make clothing.
For the past week I have been working every night under the Circus Contraption big top, making costumes. I brought in my sewing machine, all my tools, and I have been making garments. An Evel Kenievel suit.... a seal costume.....

So I go through filing and I get a whopping: $74.
Fuck you, Government.
My first job outta high school I was making the same amount of money ($16/hr in 1987, vs $20/hr now), and I got $1300 back!
Oh... and ooooooh! Economic Stimulus Package... $600!! Wow. That'll pay half ...

However, since I do not believe in any sort of god, then I am forced to accept that I have brought this all on myself, and I am entirely responsible for the current state of my life.
Oh right... THAT makes me feel better...

New York's reaction? "It's an isolated event, not terrorist related."
Now here in Seattle, some loonies burned down some McMansions that were being built out in a rural area.
Let's review:
1. 4 McMansions get burned down
2. Unfinished construction
