Nothing new has been posted here in a while, and I don't think anything will be posted here anytime soon either. It remains as an archive of love, experiences, and memory. For now, at least.

Love always.

In the most recent dictionary being produced right now, there is a new entry for the term 'instant message', also IM. One of the sections contains 'slang' like brb lol and even haha.

In the last section of the entry, there is an example of 'accent' in an IM conversation. This is the example sentence:

'Spencer: yall move or something and really?'

I'm on a fish diet now.

Today I read that since Tuna are being fished out a lot these days, a good alternative are sardines. They're not bad for you, have less Mercury than Tuna, and no carbs.

Hmm, worth a try!

Does anyone know of a way to broadly search for specific library books to see which libraries (if any) have them?

I'm looking for two things:

'Sound, Light, and Heat' by Mark Robinson Wright (1896)

'Les Mystères de la Science' Louis Figuier (1887)

Date: 2008-11-14 00:02 Subject: Iron Chef Security: Public

So I've been wondering about this for quite some time. This is definitely a frequently-watched tv show in our house, so I decided to do some research to find out exactly who the 'chairman' is. Didn't take long.

His name is Mark Dacascos. Apparently he's an actor who has been in movies such as Brotherhood of the Wolf, Crying Freeman and Cradle 2 the Grave. Apparently he really is a martial arts expert, though I couldn't find out what level (I guess those flips are real?). Also, it seems he's the nephew of Takeshi Kaga, the original host of the Japanese Iron Chef. Though, upon further investigation, this is only an 'in-show relationship'.

ALLEZ CUISINE!




Ahh ha ha.

Date: 2008-08-08 02:43 Subject: Nacreous Clouds Security: Public

Available VERY SOON from www.and-oar.org

Polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs), also known as "nacreous
clouds", are found in the winter polar stratosphere at altitudes
of 15,000–25,000 metres (50,000–80,000 ft). Due to their high
altitude and the curvature of the surface of the Earth, these
clouds will receive sunlight from below the horizon and reflect it
to the ground, shining brightly well before dawn or after dusk.
PSCs form at very low temperatures, below −78 °C. These
temperatures can occur in the lower stratosphere in polar
winter. In the Antarctic, temperatures below −88 °C frequently
cause type II PSCs. Such low temperatures are rarer in the
Arctic. Apart from arctic regions, PSCs have also been known
to be seen in Scandinavia, Iceland, Alaska and Northern
Canada. Sometimes, however, they occur as far south as
England.

This beautiful release features 37 short tracks of raw
iridescent ambience (total time exceeding 78 minutes)
reflecting the hyper-temporal nature of what are known as
"nacreous clouds". And like the clouds, the tracks are quick to
appear and disappear. Playback using the random shuffle
mode of your CD player is highly recommended.

While this is undoubtedly an ambient release, it is unusual in
that there are many short tracks instead of one or two long
ones, and each of the tracks is notably "raw" in that they do not
use additional processing like reverb to enhance the initial
processed sound sources further. This might prove to be a
challenge for those who prefer their ambience buried under a
thousand pounds of reverb, but it is not the intent of the artists
or and/OAR to release "just another ambient CD". Instead, we
invite you to explore an alternative method of rendering
ambience in a way that is more immediate, therefore effecting
the listener's mind in a more personal and powerful way.

"We originally recorded ourselves playing instruments such as
cello, violin, piano and bells. We also made recordings of
household sounds (such as showers, running water in the
sink, and television static), plus the wind outside, beaches
cars passing, walking on gravel streets, etc. Afterward we went
through everything, choosing specific parts in lengths ranging
from 3 seconds to 3 minutes, and made tape loops of
everything. At this point, we arranged the different tape loops
into patterns and speeds meant to resemble the clouds and
their actions as much as possible. When mixing the loops, we
played three to six of them at a time, on different reel-to-reel
tape players connected to both of our laptops and channeled
back out into a Kaiser filter." (Celer)

Celer are the wife and husband duo of Dani Baquet-Long and
Will Long. After releasing a rather prolific series of handcrafted
self-released CDRs, 2008 has seen a sudden flurry of CD
releases on recording labels such as Spekk (with Matthieu
Ruhlmann), two releases on Infraction (with a possible third to
come?), plus and/OAR.

Danielle Baquet-Long is a teacher of special education and
music therapy, a seasoned and published writer of poetry and
prose, a painter, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, also
recording under the project name of Chubby Wolf. She has an
extensive background in Gender Studies, Education, Basque
History, Photography, and Tibetan Studies, as well as having
lived in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and the United States.

Will Long also works in education, and is a published writer of
fiction, non-fiction, and poetry, with degrees from two
universities in English and History, and with a background in
Creative Writing, Philosophy, and Literature. He is also an
instrumentalist, interested in finding a meeting place through
music between the analog and digital world, through field
recordings, custom software, arrangements, and concepts.

During Will and Dani's time together, they have produced
numerous custom, handmade self-releases, sound for
installations and art exhibitions, as well as creating works for
independent labels in North America, Japan, and Europe.
Their intent is producing works that reflect the nature of love,
family, and their concerns and interests, through a relative and
absolute symposium of expression. They currently reside on
the coast of Southern California.

I know that many other people have been thinking this lately, but how many others are sick to death of scripted and set-up 'reality shows' that endure season after season, always continuing to another season because of something that happens in either the final episode, or the reunion? It is obvious that they're just capitalizing on people's ignorance, and overexposure, because they're everywhere. Especially these 'finding love' shows.. how many of them have lasted one season?

Tila Tequila is done with a second, and expect a third. (this also yielded a rampant Italian spinoff)
Flavor of Love went through how many? I can't even remember..
Washed-up Poison singer's show went two rounds, and always has the possibility to return..
Oh, I can't even say anything about the hedonism in the Hills.

Just a few examples!

Crap, I'm going to go watch some tennis, at who knows what time it is in the morning, while I put together CDs.

Good grief Charlie Brown!

Hello everyone. Tonight, while looking through Myspace profiles, I came upon this comment. I can't say exactly where this comment was, but it was an odd place. Actually, this comment would be odd in just about any profile. Am I right? Pretty hilarious, regardless.

" Feb 7 2008 2:28 PM
I am having Computer problems and it sucks. I just want to thank you for not thinking bad of me for not being able to comment back very much right now. I am lucky if regular comments go through for now. If I open more than one window it locks up on me. So I can't send pictures with my comments to you for now. :( I hope to have this fixed soon. Thank you so much for all the cool comments you send. They mean alot to me. I am able to see them sometimes before it locks up on me. And I am always so happy to get them. Thanks so much for being such a good friend. And as soon as I get these computers fixed I will send you lots of cool pics with my comments. But for now I am lucky to just get regular comments through to you. So thanks again for sticking with me. Your friendship means alot to me. ttyl. Luv Ya! xoxo"

The window is a foggy,

thin tin valley.

I can't see the bottom,

but when I can't see the moss that’s growing in valley,

I look over, and everything hums.


Everything stays still.


They could use some fans in these triangles.


Outside on the bottom, I can't see the apples, they’re Fuji apples.


The window at the bottom;

The window at the room;

slanted somewhat like the far wall of the apples, Fuji apples.


The window is an angled drop-off through bushes and     ceilings, mostly made of large wood beams,             full walls and several strangers.


For some reason I'm transparent to a foggy, tin valley. I can't see the apples, the Fuji apples.


The window is in an ice cream cone with surrounding coffee cups,

 and trees leading into a foggy, tin valley.

The window at the end has moss growing in here, or it may even be inside a foggy, tin valley.
