Every year on this weekend, I stop and give thanks that I quit going to #pantheacon

I used to suck at everything I'm great at and love. I still suck at many things I love, but I love them more than I loathe sucking. But the point is we all start out sucking at everything we love.

Just finished up a visit to my birth family. No real conflict and people kept their drinking under control, but it's still like visiting Mars. Everything there is consistent and proper for those living with in it, even if I can't fully breathe.

I have no idea where this beat's been all my life.

Shaky on my skates or not, I still did a thing today.

"They Live" is all fun and games until you realize it's satirizing the world in which you've lived your entire life and that your frame of reference for "normal" is something other than that satire presumes. #toodamnyoungforthis

Now you, too, can have Body By Kafka!

I guess I'm technically a #rollerderby referee now.

I have never wanted to write #fanfic until now. Why did that change? Because I just dreamed up a Punisher & Gritty team-up. #wtf

That moment when the head officials at the #derby league inform you you will be reffing on skates this year...

We have a new coffee mug in the shape of a cat head. The tea ceremony student in me reflexively cringes at drinking from the side with the face.

I put my headphones cable in the same drawer as my pipe tobacco, and now when I put my headphones on, I smell vanilla, cherry, and tea.

"When Mu-chou was asked 'We dress and eat every day, and how do we escape from having to put on clothes and eat food?' he answered, 'We dress, we eat.' 'I don’t understand.' 'If you don’t understand, put on your clothes and eat your food.'" --Alan Watts, "The Way Of Zen"

Hey there, Theresa May! Might I interest you in a Hertz Donut?

@epilanthanomai More linkies...the two essays from Clay Shirky on Semantic Web that I mentioned. I haven't really revisited them in a while, nor met anyone who had worked in Semantic Web and found good success in it, so I can't say I "stand behind" them.
