“Have you ever had sex with a pharaoh? I put the pussy in a sarcophagus.”
– Kanye West, “Monster” (“A sarcophagus, you say?” thought Genine, as she drove through the suburbs in her mini-van. “Well, that is an attractive offer.” She made a mental note to have sex with this Kanye West person should the opportunity ever arise.)

essdogg asked: He's basically advocating the burning of the Library of Alexandria. It's nostalgia of the first degree, which I have trouble abiding, even tongue-in-cheek. I prefer to think of the Internet's impact on otaku as a million points of light connecting into a shimmering celestial map of our very modernity. Fantastic read, though.

Conversations with the dad, continued
Me: “So he’s taking her to this cabin up in the mountains for his birthday.” Dad: “Geeeez. Tell him to take lots of red wine and drugs with him.” Me: “I think that’s the plan, yeah. But listen, K - she’s a vegetarian.” Dad: “Oh man.” Me: “Yeah.” Dad: “Tell him it’s all going to be yoghurt and beans from now...

Dad: “So you have a girlfriend now?” Brother: “Yes.” D: “Listen, Daniel: have you kissed her?” B: “Yes, K, I’ve kissed her.” D: “You must kiss them. Hey? That’s the point.” B: “Yes, K.” D: “I don’t think they can say no if you’re their boyfriend.” B: “Yes, K.” D: “And...

It's like cabin fever in reverse.
Walking through the small English village, you smile at the farmers, you wave at the twee children, and you pat the cows. You think about attending the church fete. And all the while, a small voice in your head whispers, “You could run it. You could rule this whole damn place with a fist of iron.” And so, while you exchange pleasantries with the elderly couple next door, you begin...

Bizarre is
Reading a post by a Twitter Platform Engineer concerning changes to the GeoAPI and remembering that I used to lifeguard with him, and that he used to have a crush on my adopted kid-sister / family friend. Also, that I still remember the administrator password for his laptop.

In a series of exceptional photographs, Italian photographer Luca Locatelli spent a month documenting the lives of the Mosuo tribe, often described as one of the last matriarchal societies in the world. Locatelli travelled to Lugu Lake in southwest China, 2,700 metres above sea level, taking two days to reach his destination by road. There, in a valley on the border of the Yunnan and Sichuan...

So much stuff is due to happen when Hell freezes over that I think Hell freezing may itself be overshadowed by all the other stuff. Which would be a shame, as I imagine a frozen Hell would be quite pretty.

I like
The plinking sounds some lights make when they turn on and warm up.  That half-awake moment when you remember someone’s sleeping next to you. Cutlery with heavy handles, forks with thin tines. Good whiskey, a solid whiskey glass, clean ice. Quiet, empty, warm offices. Girls who read. The phrase ‘to turn a phrase’. Turning a phrase. The people you meet when you’re both...

Why don’t you believe in God? I get that question all the time. I always try to give a sensitive, reasoned answer. This is usually awkward, time consuming and pointless. People who believe in God don’t need proof of his existence, and they certainly don’t want evidence to the contrary. They are happy with their belief. They even say things like “it’s true to me” and “it’s faith.” I still give my...

One of the nicest features of Android 2.2 is the ability to broadcast a Wifi network from your phone, in essence making your phone a Wifi hotspot with a 3G internet connection. I’ve already found it incredibly useful, especially when I want to connect a number of devices, like an iPad and a laptop. More importantly though - so much more importantly - you get to name your personal hotspot....

I don’t know, man. I think I’d be in favour of the Mutant Registration Act. Does that make me a bad person? I’m a bad person, aren’t I.
