These things are why I start drinking heavily during the holidays and wake up in March.

Well, Markitect and I started off with a bang, posting a little, commenting, thinking.
Then M. Peror and Evil Sol did some more stuff with pics and videos which is nearly beyond my ability. Just saying I'll hopefully write something soon.

And to make the most common theme on here be Pet Death, I announce that my dog of 16 and a half years is being put down tomorrow. She is more important to me than a lot of people in my life. I'd write more about it, but I can't.

Some of you may be aware that my brother and his girlfriend had me take care of their rabbit since neither of them are living in their own place right now.

Some of you may also be aware that since then, the rabbit has died. It was on November 4.

I haven't told my brother yet. Other key family members, i.e. my parents know about this.

I don't really know what I am waiting for. My brother hasn't mentioned the rabbit to me once probably because he's afraid I'll ask for money to keep it fed and in clean bedding, maybe a new bigger cage.

Recently, I started telling more people about my predicament and their reaction tells me one thing.... I need to do something. I can't put this off forever.

So as I was breaking the bad news to my brother in an email, a link to a craig's list page came up, advertising a black/brown dwarf rabbit (one year old) for sale for 15 bucks.

I recognize fate when I see it!

Does anyone else remember this song?

The future is now!

We've been promised ancient frozen extinct beasts before ( Jurassic park series, Encino Man, et.all), but I have a feeling they( science) mean it this time. So this is going to happen in what, 2o years? From what I've heard, the world will be on fire by then, the question is, do we really want to bring an innocent and naive creature into that world? Where will we keep it? I mean I suspect all the climates of the woolly mammoth will be melted and tropical by then. And who would raise the little guy? It would be an orphan- left to the cruel plots of zoolgists who might dress up as a pair of mom and pop woolly mammoths to recreate some normalcy ( see captive bred california condors....)

As much as I would like to see these species in the here and now, I'm not sure if I support this effort. Can't we focus on...taking care of the awesome things that are on the verge of extinction? Maybe we can do both.

question: If the opportunity to carry a Neanderthal embryo came along, would you take it?

Road Warrior

I put 17.78 gallons of gas in my car this afternoon.  Its an 18 gallon tank.

Talk about living dangerously.

I've had like three ideas of things to write about.

But I hate typing on a laptop. So when my puter gets here, I should be able to dish some stuff out. If I'm not to busy playing the new expansion for LORD OF THE RINGS ONLINE. Just got a gameboner looking at that site.

Ideas I had:
It took Beyonce for me to watch SNL. I was not disappointed. Gist was, if I could have her body as my own, I think I might take it. And be a lesbian.

Trying not to smoke as much, but it makes me hungry all the time, nearly insatiable. I'm really trying not to get fat.

Hearing Christmas music bothers me when it's 80 degrees out.

I am the only man with a real beard where I live.

Probably had more, but this typing is killing me.

Security Cameras

make me feel less secure. I just saw, on one of 4 screens, a ghostly image of a possum running up the driveway .
