And now for today's humor:
http://www.livejournal.com/users/wickedthought/389130.html Heeheehee. Imagine that, a woman politician, against her own rights.
There are few things more depressing than listening to The Real Folk Blues, for some reason. And this peach is decidedly unripe.
Finished Rose Red today; it was meh-ily creepy. Scary movies can't affect me too badly; it's books that do it. Lovecraft broke my sanity, finishing the work that Stephen King started. That damned clown has had me frightened of bath rooms most of my life now. I was such a sensitive child; I remember never moving into my toooootally sweet room, because I was convinced it was...cursed or something. Because a spider would perpetually manifest in one corner of the ceiling. Perfectly normal place for a spider, but try telling that to my skittish ass. And then turning on the light caused a fuse to blow or something, so I was having none of it.
Mom just pulled a Triforce off the dog's ear. I'm concerned. Actually it's just a little...green...triangle...jewel-thingy. Hmmm.
We're experiencing doggy discipline problems or something; I don't think the ebil demon recognizes his hierarchical place. He's plenty submissive, at least to me, but he snaps if I mess with his brother. I don't know if he's being protective or jealous; but he did it last night and I pushed him away, which made him snap harder. He was ignored and in-trouble for the rest of the night, and now he seems to be sulking. I'll walk them both tomorrow, that reinforces their place I think.
I was surfing around BMEzine and somehow made it over to a really nice body jewelery site; unfortunately it's UK, so all the measurements are in metric and the payment method's in pounds. They ship to the States for cheap, though, less than most Ebay things ship for, and their merchandise is very reasonably priced as well. Check this out:
My Dream Labret I'm not really good with metric, but I /think/ that 8mm would be the correct length. It's already the correct gauge, 14 or 1.6mm in metric, which is standard for labrets. The ball's a little small, but it can be changed out, albeit not with any that I currently have, since mine all have external treads. And then there's this option here:
A bio-compatible, non-irritating labret. I need that last one terribly; my current isn't uncomfortable per se, but I worry that it will damage my teeth accidentally someday. This PTFE one even comes internally threaded, though since they're flexible I suppose either type would work. Would rather not have to trim it though, so internal treads is probably best. I'm rather undecided on which I would prefer to have; probably the PTFE one, but since I have no money it's not terribly important.
Speaking of Ebay, I have found the joy that is surfing through sales of Stephen R. Donaldson books. It never occurred to me until now that they have newer books as well as old collectable ones, but they do. All five Gap books starting at five bucks, and the same books singly for cheap. I've never been able to find the last three in book stores, and had all but despaired of doing so. Still can't find an Atlas of the Land on there, though; that would be the kind of thing for which I sell my first-born children. I still lack a copy of Illearth War, too, as well as both books of short stories and all The Man Who books, but I don't really care about that series. Neeeeed an Illearth War though, and I think I saw a stand-alone Gilden Fire on there the other day...I should swing over to KW and see what's going on.
I desperately want to finish 1984, but I can't seem to get to the library...I hope I don't owe them money. I don't /think/ I do. But you never know. I could use a lot of other stuff to read, too. Too much intarweb is unhealthy.
Speaking of unhealthy, there are FIREANTS in the gods-forsaken sink. They come out with the cold water; I fail to see how this is possible, but it's nasty and creepy and...I don't want to think about taking a shower tomorrow. Thankfully our water heater is so pussified I could shower under straight hot water, thus eliminating the ants, but I would prefer a cool shower, what with the heat and living in a metal box and all. This place...just amazes me with its ability to fall apart and do weird shit. A mouse? In the OVEN? And we have how many cats? Well, none in the oven, but still. WTF? I never questioned the fact that our well-water is probably unpotable, but now I know it to be true. Here's some advice for everyone: Never. Move. Outside. City. Limits. Oh well...
*wanders off to surf random things some more*

Lips are turning blue
A kiss that can't renew
I only dream of you
my beautiful.
Tiptoe to your room
A starlight in the gloom
I only dream
And you never knew.
Sing for absolution,
I will be singing,
Falling from your grace
There's no-where left to hide
In no one to confide
The truth burns deep inside
And will never die
Lips are turning blue
A kiss that can't renew
I only dream of you
My beautiful.
Sing for absolution
I will be singing,
falling from your grace
Our wrongs remain unrectified
and our souls won't be exhumed
