Achieving Zen at the Five & Ten
I'm not one to do product placements or advertising (unless, of course, it'll only be seen in Japan)- but I have 3 words for you:Mirado Black Warrior.
We're talking pencils.
The greatest #2 pencils in the world.
A few months back I needed some pencils- so I popped into my local Five & Dime here in the Inner Sunset. I bought them because the name sounded cool.
The picture above does not do justice to the sensual pleasure one gets from using it- the sleek black finish- the real-lookin gold lettering- the cute lil Pink Pearl eraser- the firm, bold graphite line it produces. It's hella sweet.
And you hardly ever have to sharpen the bastards- ensuring weeks & weeks of use. Sure, you pay a little more upfront- but you save money in the long run.
It says on the box: "The World's Smoothest Writing Pencil- Guaranteed!" (the "guaranteed" is in italics) and they ain't kiddin', kiddo.
In this age of modern technology- I'd like to pause a moment and salute the long-overlooked advances in wood pencil technology.
God bless you, Sanford office supply makers. (sniff) God bless you.
Damn, I'm glad it's Friday....
What *Would* Jesus Do? Laugh Out Loud, probably...
Dear Blog,Sorry I haven't written in awhile. The times? They are meshugana. But, it's also been pretty sweet (you know who you are). So, no complaints.
Anyway, I was wondering if you've noticed all those "Jesus LOL" pics floating around the internets?
www.google.com/search
They're pretty funny. All you have to do is find a piece of Christian ephemera (either digital or, y'know, paper that's been scanned), add some word ballons, use a buncha internet slang and there you are. There's some animated gifs out there, too. Those kids keep me young, y'know?
And I think Jesus would approve- since he gets the punchline every time. And his timing's pretty good.
Anyway, gotta run. Hope you're well. See ya later!
Your pal,
Beej
Mmm, pie!
Dammit, dammit, dammit!
So, I'm looking over the "Culture Blog" over at the SF Chronicle's www.sfgate.com when I learn that yesterday was not only Beejmas- but National Pie Day!
www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/bl...gate/indexn
GAAAH! Why did this item get posted at 4:30pm in the afternoon instead of, like, earlier in the day so I could eat more pie?!
I mean, there's even an American Pie Council! Look!!

Well, next year, my friends- next year? I'll be ready. Oh, yes.

Geez, I didn't realize I was so submissive.
Oh, who am I kidding? Of course I am. And it *is* a fun song to dance to....

"There's a new game
We like to play you see
A game with added reality
You treat me like a dog
Get me down on my knees"
Yawn, dancing is so boring without a little spice. >>

Astrology Hates Me (sequel to 'Perchance To Dream')
OK, so today (1/12/06) Christopher Renstrom in the SF Chronicle says:AQUARIUS January 19-February 17
It’s time to use those vacation days before it’s too late. Besides not being around so much makes colleagues appreciate you all the more.
www.sfgate.com/eguide/hor...e/#AQUARIUS
So, what does he mean by "before it's too late"? See, in *my* job? We don't lose vacation time. It just keeps building (there's a cap on it at some point, I guess). But, like, I'm not gonna lose it.
Which brings me back to the question: what does he mean by "before it's too late"?
I hate astrology. Well, except for Minerva. She loves me:
AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18): For a brainy visionary like you, this message hits close to home. The right decision now can morph a ho-hum job into a full-fledged career. The trump card is detail. Not exactly your long suit, but try anyway. In the meantime, there's still a bit of Ho! Ho! Hoing! to be done. For the last time: Happy New Year!
www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi
See? She's telling me to get out there and buy a prostitute! Yeeeesssss, ma'am! If the stars say 'hos' then 'hos' it shall be! Who am I to argue?
Thanks, Minerva! FINALLY! Some news I can use!
Perchance To Dream...
Rob Brezney's 'Free Will Astrology' Aquarius horoscope for this week....www.freewillastrology.com/horos...s.html
After listing a buncha terrible things that can go wrong with a person from lack of sleep- he says: "All of these consequences would be major problems for you in the next two weeks, Aquarius".
a) Well, "duh".
b) Apparently, my health is so fragile that the consequences brought on by lack of sleep will be enough to, like, kill me or something. How can I *possibly* relax now? I'll be up all night worrying about this.
c) I don't remember my dreams. And the dreams I *do* remember? I wanna forget. Like the one with the beach covered in tomato bugs and I have to get across and (shudder). Hate fucking tomato bugs.
d) Sleep is seriously going to cut into my drinking time. Which, come to think of it, may be the point.
I still hate tomato bugs, though.
