Talk about figures of speech. ACTUAL furniture porn workshops are coming to Vancouver. Scroll down for the picture. It’s the third workshop down.

p.s. not a page for those who are not comfortable with bdsm.

here’s a closer view on the goth girl

There’s a local stencil artist who goes by the dark. I’ve started collecting some of his work.

This is my current favorite:

Does anyone know of anything else of his?

EDIT: some lovely LJr posted me the link to his on-line GALLERY!!

I saw this in a local candy store months ago, and it struck me as slightly ridiculous. How to state the obvious guys…

We folk who ate some of it were wired beyond all belief. I, having eaten half a bar, had my bodily chemistry altered enough for my head to feel filled with helium. DO NOT GIVE TO CHILDREN.

Also in the shop is a poster:

Beth played purple with my hair today.

This creeps me out even more than this, and

this is pretty bad too, but none is even a smidgen as utterly awful as

this.

“thanks” to   for the first one. My eyes, they’ve been poked out.

…some analysts say U.S. intelligence and law enforcement officials might be starting to track blogs for important bits of information.

This interest is a sign of how far Web media such as blogs have come in reshaping the data-collection habits of intelligence professionals and others, even with the knowledge that the accuracy of what’s reported in some blogs is questionable.

Still, a panel of folks who work in the U.S. intelligence field – some of them spies or former spies – discussed this month at a conference in Washington the idea of tracking blogs.

“News and intelligence is about listening with a critical ear, and blogs are just another conversation to listen to and evaluate. They also are closer to (some situations) and may serve as early alerts,” said Jock Gill, a former adviser on Internet media to President Clinton…

My autoresponces can be terrible terrible things. I know I must be up early so tha I can get to ‘s school on time. I know I have to wake up, I have to get up.  The alarm is set for five to eight, so when do I wake up? Irrevocably at six. Any time I truly impress upon my brain that I have to wake up early, this happens. I will wake up at two in the morning, four in the morning, six o’clock with a “oh gee – I should get ready now”. I invariably try to get back to sleep, only to wake as suddenly almost perfectly two hours later.

I’m tempted right now to go back to sleep, as I know what this will do to me later in the day, but then again, I’m deciding that perhaps I’ll try to stay up. Perhaps I’ll lie in bed reading for an hour, perhaps I’ll get ready then go back to bed, perhaps I’ll…

Being awake two extra hours is so very pointless. Does anyone else ever do this?
