One of our fellow LJ’ers has taken this past week’s Doonesbury and Get Fuzzy comic strip arc, and the photos of coffins coming back from Iraq, and combined them awfully effectively with some very old songs indeed.

Being recognized has never been easier for VIP patrons of the Baja Beach Club in Barcelona, Spain.

Like a scene out of a science-fiction movie, all it takes is a syringe-injected microchip implant for the beautiful men and women of the nightclub scene to breeze past a “reader” that recognizes their identity, credit balance and even automatically opens doors to exclusive areas of the club for them.

They can buy drinks and food with a wave of their hand and don’t need to worry about losing a credit card or wallet.

“By simply passing by our reader, the Baja Beach Club will know who you are and what your credit balance is,” Conrad K. Chase explains. Chase is director of the Baja Beach Club in Barcelona. “From the moment of their implantation they will also have free entry and access to the VIP area…”

BEREN: Ooo! Pretty elf lady!

THINGOL: You can have her if you … BRING ME A SHINY!

The Free Thinkers Social went all night until morning. It was lovely fun and certainly amusing.  When I arrived, instead of bothering with such things as doors, it made far more sense to just lcimb the balcony, so I did to a chorus of “Jhayne!!” from inside. I was surprised. I hadn’t expected to know anyone, but Alex and Nereid were there as well as Derrick. After Wag the Dog, people started leaving, but I’ve really missed such things. As everyone wafted away into the dawn, Adrian and I caught a ride with Evan(?) which then got sidetracked into playing Scrabble as the sun came up at the top of a hill in a National Park. Adrian won by a single point, the smiling shining devil he. Breakfast was suggested and in our futile quest to find somewhere to go, we came upon a moth of gray & violet doom. It was very very angry and at least two inches wingspan. I now understand why some people are frightened of such flufy harmless things.

After a short rest, we were awoken by Michelles welcome surprise arrival. The heat was destructive to soul and body. Thankfully, Ruth had invited us swimming in the evening and so off we went. *swim swim* There were pool noodles, and new people. *splash*

I would be writing with a bit more eloquence, but afterwards we played Munchkin at Denny’s and I stupidly ordered food, so now I’m not doing too well.

Spent my last night with . He’s discovered a delicious anime called The Millenium Actress. We can’t think as to why we’ve never heard of it before. I strongly urge everyone to find it. It’s a rare bit of  imaginative phantasmagorical romance.

I think I need to work on my vocabulary a bit. Bring it down a wee bit, perhaps. The Zim Marathon has reduced many of us to funny voices and random outpourings of TacoDoom, but to use a word like phantasmagorical without thinking about it? That’s a bit much. Tonight is the free-thinkers party hosted by . That should likely help.  The Lord    calls them The Raving Atheists. I don’t know what I’m walking into, but I’m sure it will be fun. Sweet arguing among relative intellignce about boys and taste undestined. Should be nice.

Found out today as well that my hopeful job at Storyeum allows dyed hair as long as it’s neat and not anything seriously flamboyant. This news brings me joy. I’m looking forward to getting the job so as to I almost wish I had something to pray to.

Hallo the World. Jeff has joined us as the . Let’s all go pressure him to make art.
