As you guys know, i sell Mary Kay. Or rather i used to sell Mary Kay.

I have a lot of stuff leftover, and i don't want or can't really take it with me when i move.

so, i need to sell it. i am selling it at cost, 50% off.

the trick is that i have very little free time.

so, if anyone is interested, i would love to set up one day for people to come over and get whatever they want.

Anyone interested? remember guys these things do make good presents too.

i can be home and available (but in a state of packing and paper writing)

10/22 - after 7pm
10/23 - maybe
10/26 - unless there is hanging out with Mike Kun
10/29 - after 7pm


i'd prefer to do this all in one day... but i am sorta flexible.

it is almost that time. in MA the deadline is 10/16. I don't care who you vote for, i never have. but go, vote. THIS is your right, your responsibility, your show of patriotism. THIS is sacred. THIS is what people died for, died so you could have this privilidge, this right, this duty.

Vote.

Millions around the world are not as fortunate as you. They can't vote. THIS is the duty of the free world, the first word, of America. THIS is what it is ALL about.

Register to vote. Now. Today. Tonight. Now.

Vote. Vote with your heart, your mind, your logic, your party, your parents, your conscience. It doesn't matter who you vote for. And it doesn't matter why you picked them. It doesn't matter if in your state your vote is wasted. It doesn't matter if you hate the electoral college. That isn't what is important.

What is important is that you go, and you vote. For yourself. And for all those who can't. And for all those who sacrificed and died to give you the right. And for all those who will come after you. Vote.

i hate dating. so i have chosen not to. leading to the obvious consequence :) but i really do hate it. i managed to always avoid it, going straight to the "going out" phase.

however i am coming to the conclusion i really aught to get on with things. i mean really, it isn't like my requirements are that hard to meet... single, monogamous, jewish. can't be hard right?

oye.

We made it. It took us forever and a day because by the end there was a pulled muscle and an acting up hip joint and general omg tiredness, but we made it.

I do not remember what i thought from the top of the mountain last time. it was about 10 years ago.

this time... the usual thoughts of how insignificant we all are, how majestic nature is and so on filled my mind as usuals. and by the time we were at the actual summit, mostly i just wanted to get down off hte mountain and into some nice place for dinner.

But something like 0.12 miles from the summit, where i could see it just fine, and new that it was just one tiny push more, i turned around, as i had bee doing for a bit, to look down.

one Flicker posts this, i will go and change the default icon of this post to be the one that says "stand before god" because i was. it was one of those moments that people write about. i had it before, several times. a moment where with no doubt and no unsurety i know that not only does god exist but he is focusing attention on this mountain and on me right now, for a tiny brief part of a second, god was there.

so yes, it is a mountain. it is damned tall, and it was a relatively difficult hike. and we did it, with minimal whining, and minimal injuries and minimal drama. i am very very proud of ladysprite, this was her first real hike, and that is quite an accomplishment.

Intercon I, the largest all-LARP convention in New England needs your games! Now is the time to go to http://www.interactiveliterature.org/I/biddingAGame.php and bid that game you have been tossing around in your brain! Each accepted game gets 2 complimentary memberships and our undying gratitude. :)

i am done. yesterday was my Bat Mitzvah, and nothign blew up. i chanted, i led a bit of hte service, and it went reasonably well. i got all the right words anyway, and i dpn't much care about the melody.

my spectacularly awesome friends drove to CT to see me, and it was awesome.

was yesterday. it was ... odd... i knew vaguely where the building i
was in was located, but i had no idea where anything else was. i
don't think i was that lost or disoriented as a freshmen, they gave us
tours and stuff as freshmen. ah well. the class itself is 2.5 hours
long with a 10 min break. the proff, Bill, is cool. i am fucking
terrified of the papers. the first one is in 3 weeks and then 1 every
2 weeks thereafter. i haven't' done a paper in 10 years. i haven't
done a research paper in 14 years. not since the freshmen writing
seminar. eep. also eep. at least he said he reads drafts.

gonna go try to give blood soon

worked 4 hour troll shift yesterday

no chirurgeons working at all, just EMS at point

do you think the following song represents Jack?


STS-107
by Rand Bellavia and Adam English c2003 (BMI)


In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue
Searching for India which was in the other
Directionless he sailed the sea
Knowing all along that he was gonna make history

He didn't think the earth was flat
He didn't care what anybody said and that's pretty cool
They all thought that he was crazy, he disagreed
And now we get his birthday off from school

You'll never get to where you're going if you don't try
And he'd've had no way of knowing if he'd stopped to wonder why
The Hindus don't speak Hindi and there's Teepees everywhere
And all the Oriental merchants all wear feathers in their hair

Where are you going, my badly misguided friend?
You haven't started growing until you've reached
The end of everything you know
The end where everything below
Dissolves into a waterfall
That falls and falls and falls and falls

And falls into the sky's black sea
Now where else did you think I'd be?
For those who's tried to find me there
Beyond that canopy of air

You say to me there's got to be
More out there than your eye perceives
You say you want to be a pioneer
Well come here and I'll tell you
It's easy, it's the simplest thing:

Just spend your whole life traveling toward
The edge of what has been explored
And everyone will tell you you're crazy
Your friends will say you're out of your mind
But you've got to go, you've just got to know
So you leave them all behind
Cause once you've crossed that line
Then you're truly one of mine

Where are you going, my friend?

to myself, i have a few, including a cool blue one i want to wear and a
black one with a white stripe that i LOVE (
http://pics.livejournal.com/tpau/pic/0002z006) so being not dumb, i tried
them on. oops. i forgot i am not a size 18 anymore. apparently i haven't

УЕЗЖАЮТ РУССКИЕ ЕВРЕИ

Уезжают русские евреи,
покидают отчий небосвод.
И кому-то, видно, душу греет
апокалиптический исход.

Расстаются невозвратно с нами,
с той землей, где их любовь и пот.
Были узы, а теперь узлами
словно склад, забит аэропорт.

Что сказать, что к этому добавить?
Чья это победа, чья беда?
Что от них нам остается? Память?
Памятники духа и труда.

Удержать их, не пустить могли ли?
Дождь над Переделкиным дрожит.
А на указателе "К могиле
Пастернака" выведено - "жид"...

List the 3-5 biggest things going on in your life:

Adult Bat Mizvah - 9/6/08 i have been workign on it for 2 years.

Camelot Cohousing - i am having a house built, in a community of choice. w00t.

Parents: Both alive, married to each other, living in CT.

Who are some of your closest friends? i have a few. some of hte new one si made at Threads last year are startlingly close.

i really did hike up this thing...

went to a weather seminar. very intersting, lots of info on cloud
formation, hail formation, thunderstorms, and isobars and stuff. low/high
pressure areas, ridges/troths and so on. much usefulness.

learned that 95% of greenhouse gasses are not carbon dioxide, of the 55 that
are, 97% are naturally produced and 35 are human-made. was told by 4
meteorlogists that global warming is a bunch of crock and that climate jsut
cycles liek that. looked at charts of Atlantic temp 20 year cycle and
huracane strength cycle, learned how they rather coincide. apparently we
have to expect a fall in hurricane intensity in the next 10 years as we are
right on the crest of a high wave of that...

i want to jump out of a plane. with a parachute. anyone want to go with
me?

weather prognosticators say it is to be between 30 and 56 in DC the
days i will be there. am tryignto descide if i want my winter coat or
if i wnat my ski jacket... the winter coat is lognand warm, but long
and annoyign at times. the ski jacket is short and light but nto as
warm...

ok so southwest allows for 10x16x24 piece of luggage. um. what does
that look like roughly? i mean i can measure my luggage yeah but, in
general?

as usual packing list, what am i forgetting. this is for a 4ish day trip to DC

i am apparently moderating the knitty stitchy quilty panel at arisia.
keen. never moderated anythign before in my life.

it is getting bigger. here it is in all its sleeveless glory. this dummy has a 44 inch waist line so the sweater is on the tight side for it. but you can see that it is about waist long now. got a few more inches of boring plain knit and then the fun of the hem begins. i am trying a new variation on teh hem so we will see how many times i will have to frog it.

what is it about the discovery channel that i only see john edwards
commercials there? when i watch the price is right (abc? nbc?) i get
also gulianni and obama...

Your Kiss is Orange

For you, kissing is all about pushing the envelope. You're a wild kisser. And you don't have to know someone all that well to kiss them. (You figure that's how you'll get to know one another!) While you may be impulsive with who you kiss, there's nothing random about your kissing technique.
