Suddenly I don't understand anything anymore. Not that I really did before, but the confusion has gotten worse. Other than that, I'm fine. |

Die Antwoord. I don't even...
Goblins, phallic bulges, (so, kind of like Labyrinth) and an anti-circumcision message from a South African (?) band. Weirdest thing I've seen all day (and I've been listening to steampunk rap.) Warning for sexual explicitness suggestiveness. And bulges. ( Read more... ) |

Yes, weather is exciting.
It was really pretty outside today. Just October- bright blue sky. (Er, or there was a bright blue sky yesterday. It was kind of overcast today.) I'm typing this to prove that I'm not really constantly ranting and or whining in my real life. Just in case it came across like that. Driving along today, I was looking up at the gray sky and there were two vultures perched on a tall dead tree. They were huddled together like they were cold. It's an appropriate day to read From the Dust Returned by Ray Bradbury. I'm not quite sure about it yet. |

Definition problems
If you like art, occasionally like obscure bands, and dress a little funny, does that make you a hipster? ( Read more... ) Current Mood: tongue in cheek |

Details
I have goggles. A Party Universe store recently opened not too far away. And I found old-fashioned goggles which are sunglasses. They have UV protection and everything. They're not the highest quality, but they aren't cheap-looking either. I won't be driving with them, because they do affect my peripheral vision more than I like, but I've wanted these ever since I was fifteen. And then there was the Steampunk thing and then goggles became an overused cliche, but I don't care. I have goggles! The place also has little plastic things. I have some goldfish and insects. Oh the jewelery I will make. Yes, children, Halloween comes early this year. |

Things I did not know: Vol. 1
“Lignin, the stuff that prevents all trees from adopting the weeping habit, is a polymer made up of units that are closely related to vanillin. When made into paper and stored for years, it breaks down and smells good. Which is how divine providence has arranged for secondhand bookstores to smell like good quality vanilla absolute, subliminally stoking a hunger for knowledge in all of us.” —From Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez’s Perfumes: the guide |

Amendment 26- Personhood MS
http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2011/06/03/235552/personhood-bills-attack-contraception/Site is biased but there are some very good points. Amendment 26 has no provision for ectopic pregnancy- for fetuses that won't live and will severely impact the health of the mother. Also, it defines the fertilized egg as a person- not an implanted fertilized egg. So, there's a chance that birth control pills could end up outlawed because of this amendment. (I've searched the "Bioethics and Birth Control" site as well as the main personhood.net and turned up zip about birth control. I know many people here are pro-life. I don't think anyone's suggesting abortion is fun, but if you want an anti-abortion amendment, please consider that the lack of provision for ectopic pregnancy in this one is a severe flaw. If I've read it correctly. (I also notice that Liberty Counsel, one of those backing Personhood got very upset about Harry potter. Which has nothing to do with anything in the Amendment, but it's a little fun fact.) |

Things that go bang.
Last year I put up a few bottles of fizzy elderflower wine and completely forgot about them. It only keeps for a few months, so the bottles had to be emptied out. The first went okay, but the cap exploded on the next one. Really exploded. I was cleaning the stuff off the ceiling. Clearly, it was smarter to move the stuff outdoors. Except, in moving two of the bottles accidentally clinked together. A few seconds later, explosion. I mean, the entire bottle exploded, sending shrapnel everywhere. Luckily, they were under a table so none of the glass flew up. So, the remaining bottle of fizzy, alcoholic nitroglycerin (as well as three bottles of muscadine wine that didn't turn out too well) got put out in the 103 degree heat with a plastic box over them to contain the glass. I checked it a while ago and one entire side of the box was blown open. tl;dr Winemaking abilities: poor. Bomb making abilities: excellent |

Apparently, raspberries grow well in the deep south. I'm growing a yellow variety as well as the regular raspberry colored variety. And the blueberries are coming into season. Current Mood:  cheerful |

Metaquotes on LJ
They hail you as their morning star Because you are the way you are. If you return the sentiment, They'll try to make you different; And once they have you, safe and sound, They want to change you all around. Your moods and ways they put a curse on; They'd make of you another person. They cannot let you go your gait; They influence and educate. They'd alter all that they admired. They make me sick, they make me tired. (Dorothy Parker) |
