So at the moment I can’t sleep (stilla bit ill) and I figured I’d go haunt the only good feminist insanity message board left. I couldn’t remember the link so I did a google search and found myself via some clicks to a new place. Now, I haven’t been through it all yet, but one section [...]
An open letter about my health :)
ed note: This post replaces a much more “ranting” entry. It was the fever talking, I promise :) ed note 2: maybe its the Christmas season, I was sick this time last year too :) I just got off the phone with Tatsumi and we decided reluctantly that I would not be seeing her this [...]
“Getting over it”
In essence, this article discusses that under serious analysis it turns out that past abuse may not make one more likely to have problems in later life – that humans may be stronger than we think. Or we were until we embraced our victimization. Obviously even suggesting that people might not fall apart under trauma [...]
Turning Japanese…
So Cute I put up a whole new little gallery of images called “Asian Obsession”. Not only are these images pretty hot in their own way, but the represent some of the things I love about Japanese glamour photography. No fear of experimentation A “lovers eye”… not cold and sterile but somewhat surreal in its [...]

Like a lot of people, I recited the litany of “stupid American” stories and jokes. In those days, I regarded America as [...]
Shameless promotion…
Well, it happened. At around 21:30 EST I was promoted to [[wp:Sensei]] at my [[wp:dojo]]. This is one more step on a long road, but a critical one. This feels really really good. ed. note: I did a rare thing and “back dated” this post till before midnight on the 23rd to keep it on [...]
Some cool stuff to read…
A few windows I have open at the moment… The more complicated discussion of why wings work – and why your 6th grade textbook lied to you Camo Specs Online - “official” registry of ‘Mech paint schemes Some guy built his kids a BattleMech treehouse. Another guy is building a ‘Mech of his own, outside in [...]
We lost on purpose, really….
You know, the elections have been a funny and informative time. I am, obviously, happy that the president was re-elected and I have been enjoying some of the resultant thrashing about greatly. You might remember that “screw ‘em” Kos was a huge supporter of Kerry, raising money and promising all and sundry that mana woudl [...]
