...an overplayed meme, but I was amused by this particular iteration. (Click through to the one-blog/commenting view to see what I'm talkin' about.)

August got me hooked on it, and now it's gone.

It was just over a year ago, during the last weekend of January, that I went to my first play party, thereby entering into the public "scene" and discovering a whole new world of friendship and love and support. To everyone that embraced me so completely that first night at the Citadel, and to everyone it's been my supreme honor and pleasure to meet in the days and weeks following: Thank you.

'Zombies' arrested in downtown Minneapolis

soulcookie — Tue, 25 Jul 2006 18:54:47 GMT

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Six friends spruced up in fake blood and tattered clothing were arrested in downtown Minneapolis on suspicion of toting "simulated weapons of mass destruction." Police said the group were allegedly carrying bags with wires sticking out, making it look like a bomb, while meandering and dancing to music as part of a "zombie dance party" Saturday night. "They were arrested for behavior that was suspicious and disturbing," said Lt. Gregory Reinhardt, a police spokesman. Police also said the group was uncooperative and intimidated people with their "ghoulish" makeup. ______ Article continues (with zombie mug shots!) at http://www.kstp.com/article/stories/S17817.html?cat=1

Thickheaded, brash, and overzealous, Zim has been banished into food service for wrecking the Irken home planet. He begs the Almight Tallest for a second chance to reclaim his honor. Zim is sent on a 'secret' mission to a planet far away on the edge of the universe - Earth. Now Earth's only hope rests with a young UFO-hunting paranormal enthusiast named Dib.

Best cell company in SF?

I'd like to hear anybody's opinion on which cell company in the Bay Area is the best overall. I have an old piece of crap, and I think it's finally time I look at joining this century's tech.

Nicked from D. What Color Is Your Aura? http://web.tickle.com/tests/standard/aura.jsp --------------------------------------- Kevin, you're a Gold! We don't need a psychic to tell us that you're giving off a Gold vibe. You couldn't ask for a better color - a glistening gold aura is as good as it gets. A lively blend of yellow and orange, gold people are happy, playful, energetic, sensitive, and generous. Always up for adventure, you'd give a friend in need the shirt off your back. You're spiritual, too - all those halos in old paintings aren't colored gold by coincidence. Almost childlike in the carefree, joyful way you live your life, you're popular and outgoing with your large circle of friends. Chances are you're so full of light and energy that you sometimes find it hard to sit still and chill out. Instead, you're constantly looking for excitement, no matter how risky or impulsive the occasion. Happy-go-lucky and always laughing, you truly are as good as gold.

Tonight at work we launch our redesigned website, http://www.insidebayarea.com, thus concluding (I hope) the several-months-long process that has been the source of too many headaches and the root of my getting too little sleep for too long. To those with whom I've been mildly incoherent, or to those owed an email response, please know that the long, long struggle is nearing its end, and I shall soon be able to poke my head out more fully than I have been for some time now.
