the boss wishes you well on your holiday next week and a co-worker assumes she meant you were taking time after Haloween off for religious reasons and starts asking questions about Samhain.

Now Biomechanic can have that Fictional-themed bathroom he always wanted.

The Galactika toilet seat

The bad English translation is hilarious in its own right.

These are just fucked up. Especially the mouse finger-puppets and boots for chickens.

And now, a survey:

-- birthdate: November 29 1975
-- birthplace: Toronto
-- current location: Toronto
-- eye color: brown
-- hair color: Black - black stubble, anyway.
-- righty or lefty: righty
-- zodiac sign: Saggitarius
-- innie or outtie: innie

// series two - describe
-- your heritage: English, Scottish
-- the shoes you wore today: Clunky black things from Aldo
-- your hair: None - on my head, anyway - black and curly elsewhere. :-P
--your eyes: expressive, but near-blind without glasses
-- your weakness: Shyness. I'm bad at conversations sometimes.
-- your fears: The usual - ending up alone, death, big insects....
-- your perfect pizza: Extra cheese, onion, sausage, bacon, meat meat meat!
-- one thing you'd like to achieve: Raising a child (someday!) who is less screwed-up than I am.

// series three - what is
-- your most overused phrase on aol\aim: N/A - don't use them
-- your thoughts first waking up: Damn alarm!

The KMFDM concert last night was quite good, though it did suffer a little from the "we have to control our machines so we can't move" phenomenon that afflicts some shows. It suffered more from the opening act, but the less said about that, the better.

Later that night by sheer luck, I ended up drinking with Sascha K. You may all die of jealousy now. :-P
