i'm not anti-vegetarian, just anti-manufactured-foods. i think if someone wants to/needs to not eat meat, that's a choice that each person makes for himself/herself. But eating food that's mostly 'binder' and 'filler' -- whether meat based or vegetable based isn't a good idea. that's my $0.02

Journal Journal: Writing: Lyanissa and Lyriin

Context: I woke up from a dream on Monday morning and wrote this. Warning: Rough draft. Warning: minimally edited.

There is morre to the story that follows, I can feel it. I just need to get my fingers on the keyboard for an hour or two in a quiet time.

Her name was Lya, she came from the desert, as they all had, to find a trade to support herself.

Journal Journal: A slight misunderstanding... 4

So Ben & I were out to dinner last night, and he asked the waitress "What three cheeses are in the three cheese lasagna?"

The waitress says "Um... Mozzarella, American, and ... ummm... I can't think of the third one."

She goes wandering off and asks another member of the waitstaff about 10 feet away, who says "Mozzarella and Parmesan on top, ricotta in the lasagna."

Journal Journal: Good news, everyone! 10

Well, good news for me, at least. We set a "you have to get out of our house" date for my sister-in-law. 5 months is a bit long to expect someone to feed & house you for free, and it will be 6 months by the time she leaves. It's probably 2 months too late for us to part amicably, but at this point, the goal is to get her the hell out of my house. It was this IM conversation that made me realize how annoyed Ben was with her, and he's her brother.

"Wind it up", Barenaked Ladies

Ah, the double entendre from the 'Ladies. I've been listening to them on the commute.

The first week of the new shift has been awesome. I do less. I get paid more. And the crew I work with is insane. Tonight's score: me 2, rich 1, stu 0, scoot 1.

Journal Journal: Movie: Little Miss Sunshine 9

We don't generally go to movies. We've got other things going on, for the most part, and for the rest of it, dropping $20 to see parts of a movie (with children shrieking, people yakking through the film, cellphones ringing, etc.) that may or may not be worth seeing doesn't really appeal.

That aside, GO SEE LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE. GO NOW. Stop reading this JE and go.

Still alive.

Work: changing shifts to gain the 15% shift diff mid-october. 15% more for doing 40% less... ok. can do. Lappy comes along for the ride.

Birthday: last wednesday. really good. new camera. See it on dA if you're interested. It rocks. The tea rocks as well. And the new sunglasses, well, they rock, too. Oh, and the new BNL album... doesn't rock, it's more mellow.

Journal Journal: Argh. Hacked. 7

Archive.org to the rescue. Stupid script kiddies hit my crazymonkeycreations site, and a friend's site, too. replaced all our index.php's.

Dumbasses.

It does little to improve my mood today.

I spent an hour or so working on my knitblog; changing the 'look', writing a shortened version of how i feel about the explosion. I'm tired now.

Today, I've taken my vitamin, my st johns wort, and a claritin. Something's gotta give.

Off to zap my leftovers.

War Declared on Caps Lock Key 1230

pieterh writes "I've launched a campaign to rid the world of the caps lock key. Sure, there are more serious problems to solve but please, think of the children! How am I going to explain to my kids why some of the most valuable keyboard real estate is squatted by a large, useless key that above all you must not press! Our campaign mission is simple: to send a message to the computer industry to force it (by any means necessary) to retire the CAPS key. It's going to be a hard, long, and possibly very embarassing war on uppercase, but some things just need to be done. "

Obviously no one else can do the work.

So, if you fail something over, you create a ticket. Nice, shiny, happy, ok. The ticket gets closed after the fail back, right? You know, at night, right after you have all the customers online. No? Well, just leave it for days.

Journal Journal: Bummed... (Mostly a rant) 4

My knitting group self-destructed sometime Friday night.

We had a yahoo group, and recently, the missing moderator/owner appeared with a new list of "THIS IS WHERE WE MEET, NO CHANGES!" and "THESE ARE THE RULES! NO TALKING ABOUT ANYTHING BUT KNITTING!" Hardly the group I joined, where we all had a hand in deciding where to meet, and could talk about anything, but I thought, "whatever".

Journal Journal: So, where the hell have I been? 14

I'm sure y'all were all wondering, and worried. NOT. :D

Well, I got back from vacation, slogged through 7 grueling days of work, and promptly got sick. WHEE. I'm feeling better today than I've felt in a week, and I'm still sounding like a freight train's rumble when I talk. BUT. We're going camping tonight with some friends from dA, and going for a hike tomorrow.
