• Warning! This is not the web page you know and love. This is not the civilized bastion of proofread paragraphs, good spelling and decent grammar anymore. This is not the progression of calm, reasonsed and properly ordered paragraphs of well transitioned and meaningful sentences. This is now a free flowing order of random thoughts and unrelated concepts string together in a bulleted list.
• Just thought I'd warn you.
• I'm not very good at this whole weblog thing.
• It's not that I don't know how to write good entries; I do perfectly well with pen and paper when I want to jot down private random thoughts to myself, but that journal isn't for you. Maybe it's for you sometimes, but the rest of you are better off not knowing what's in there.
• In the last week or so, I've discovered that nearly everyone I know has an account on the LiveJournal site. Even folks like Tim Farrell with weblogs I already know about have another side of them written out in diary form on these quietly linked pages.
• It's so cute to see Tim and Ann on the page where LiveJournal lists all the entries posted in date order from all his friends one after another.
• Not to mention that now that I realized what Dave Bell's icon was insinuating, it cracks me up every time I see it.
• I like to play my cards close to my chest, so I'd rather have all my content here where I could take the whole site down on a moment's notice, than have to log into someone else's website and issue a mass delete command.
• I thought about how with Suz using my code and database structure for her site, we could pretty easily do the same thing with a really simple set of JOIN and ORDER BY statements in MySQL.
• I realized it would be a pretty bland combination, tho.
• Seeing as I never write journals more than once every few weeks anymore.
• I had a hard time writing out my thoughts quickly, but in way where they could actually read with the proper pauses and breaks. A way that the reader couldn't run them together and get a different meaning out of them.
• Which is why I stole Tim's format.
• I can't decide which is scarier, the fact that Leah Marcus knows my boss or that my boss knows Leah Marcus.
• Maybe it's scary that most of her extended family has seen my site looking for her fire-spinning pictures.
• The majority of my family hasn't seen this site.
• Maybe because fire spinners are a bad influence.
• The hamfest is next weekend, and it's really drilling me a new asshole.
• On the down side, I didn't get in on the action or catch on to exactly what needed to be done well until it was too late to fill my building at the fairgrounds up. So now it looks like crap.
• On the up side, I've got a totally clear picture of how it works for next year, and since a number of big vendors have told me that they need a year's notice for particpation, I'm poised to make a big splash for BARC in 2003 if I start right away.
• Assuming they'll have me back.
• Going to Wisconsin this weekend to be a godless pagan.
• Well, okay, the pagan part is mostly a lie.
• There are too many gods in paganism to not find one you can relate too.
• I'm still a godless heathen, as usual.
• I'm just building stuff for them.
• That's one of those things I can't imagine ever having imagined doing just a few years ago. Even now I can imagine leaning on my shovel on Sunday, dusting the snowflakes from the brim of my hat and thinking "Damn, how the hell did I get here from where I was?"
• And how did I find such a wonderful girlfriend all the way out here?
• I should be okay at airport security since I'll only be carrying a bag of clothes, toiletries, a journal and a pen.
• One of these days I'll actually managed to get my "UPSTANDING TAXPAYING UNITED STATES CITIZEN" tee-shirt printed. That or "I AM NOT A TERRORIST", but with my luck I'd throw my packback strap over the NOT.
• Maybe just a picture of me making scary faces under a Christopher Wool painting. Yeah, that would get me thrown in jail forever.
• Haven't seen my sweetheart in over five days since she left from Double T. At this rate, we're going to go completely batty before the Passion party.
• That's not what I meant. Click the link, you perv.
• I hope I can make it the next 25 hours.
• Aren't we just awfully cute?
