p.s.: I'm not going to forget to pick you up, Alura!?! Good luck with the tennis elbow. Hope the surgery doesn't leave you el-bow-legged, yuk yuk yuk.

Trish, that was SICK. :p That line will stay with me forever, said in that fly voice.
We got things ready for the party last night. I've decided that I want to leave the disco ball up permanently, I love having little stars everywhere. The light-up gnome, however, is just too surreal.
Anyway, me and my postmodern elbow are off to the hospital, where I suppose I shall be unconscious until this afternoon. Unlike Sleeping Beauty, I shall wake up self-pitying with a scar on my peachy skin and pins in my currently fault-lined elbow. Maybe there will be a handsome prince waiting for me. That is, if His Flakiness doesn't forget to come pick me up. ; )

The Griddler and Col.Knowledge operative liked Max Headroom's advice for starting a band. Max also has some, uh, opinions on women.
And, my favorite e-mail of the day, because one cannot kiss one's own elbow:
Subject: elbow kisses

Prepare to be disturbed. Courtney sent me this, with the tag of "it looks like we're one step closer to the Stepford Wives." Don't look from work, though, because it's dirty. Dirty dirty dirty.

Butch Kawasiki and family wish to thank Kevin Seal for his plug for her recently released collector mp3, a cover of "Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others."
The entire congregation would like to offer their condolences to Ms. Laura, the girl with the postmodern elbow.

anyone looking for their dream job?
on a more serious note, NAFTA says that corporations can sue governments, so UPS is suing Canada for unfair competition because their postal service is subsidized. Gak. What are we living in, a corporatocracy?
the cover story on Brill's Content this month is on human portals. Blog more, guys!

What is with all the online dance lessons these days?
An interesting presidential trend:
"What happens when a president gets elected in a year with a "0" at the end? Also notice it goes in increments of 20 years.

Butch Kawasiki frickin' rocks my frickin' world. I have an MP3 of her doing "Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others" that is outfrickinstanding.
In the meantime, can I whine a little more about PG&E declaring bankruptcy? Thank you for indulging me. Maybe we can just burn nine billion one-dollar bills... It would cost the same, and it least it would keep my roommate's cat from shivering all the time.

I bet our blogger's Kinkynatty-born resident did this while at Indian Hill. That also explains the 50 cents I found on my nightstand this weekend... 
Just tweezing...actually, the visual thesaurus kinda relates to what we were talking about this weekend, about word-associations...you just keep touching on words to see them expand and make new connections.

My fellow media whore re-introduced me to the retro-future world of Max Headroom on Friday. Ah-ha, a sci-fi show about activist journalism and corporate ownership of the media! Obviously overwhelmed, I then fell asleep during the movie version of The Phantom Tollbooth, required reading for lovers of language.

IF only they would have had paper dolls like her when i was growing up...maybe i would have spent less time playing basketball and star wars, etc etc, and spent more time developing my princessy femme side.

I prefer George Carlin's take on the FCC, the notorious "Seven Filthy Words." Laura, you say it would be funny if it weren't true? To (mis)quote the Simpsons, "it's funny because it's true." (I think Nelson said that -- Nelson the Simpsons character, not Nelson the 80s hair-metal band.)

Thanks for those tasty links, Le Phoque. Alas, I missed most of the conference, having been nauseatingly overwhelmed by the need to sleep (lack of which was caused by Romi's...uh...gathering of freaks the previous night. YOU try sleeping when there's people being spanked in your living room at 4 a.m. Oh, wait -- someone on this blog managed to...), which makes me sad, as the topics were interesting to me.
Anyway, found the FCC's latest examples of what it considers decent and indecent radio material linked to from the metafilter page. It would be funny if it weren't true.
Was supposed to go to the Bunny Jam tonight. (Did you go, Zarbet Rabbit?) Alas, the girls managed to be two and a half hours later than expected, completely throwing off the night's plans. At least we got to hang out in a bookstore, where I found a postcard for Romi with two 1950s-style women on it...one is saying "Everywhere I go I'm faced with illegal drugs, sodomy, bestiality and sadomasochism!" and the other woman is saying "What was that address again?" She said it would be good to use as a party invitation. I am off to read some science fiction and escape the world now.
