1. That was the wrong candleholder.
2. Hot wax all over my arm barely hurt at all!
I’m all lemony fresh now.

The ANOINTED WARRIOR wants to be my FRIEND.
He’d also like me to view his VIDEO CHALLENGES if I’m a satanist or have an extensive porn collection (Admiral Kragg).
I think God told him to skin me alive. He has glowing eyes and a sword. The churches I’ve visited have waged spiritual warfare with bible studies that included cookies, which always seemed more effective than the whole glowing-eyes-and-sword thing, but maybe this works for him.
The shtick would work better if all this guy’s friends weren’t heavy metal musicians, dominatrices, art atheists and media Jews. But it’s still funny.
FOLKS I’M SHOWING MY SUPPORT FOR THE OCEAN AND THE BEACH AND THE FISH AND THE WHALES AND THE SEA ANEMONES AND THE SURFERS AND THE LAUGHING, RUNNING CHILDREN IN THE WAVES AND OUR FUTURE ON THE PLANET BY PUTTING THIS ORNAMENTAL LICENSE PLATE ON MY PIECE OF SHIT TRUCK THAT GETS 14 MILES PER GALLON AND IS ENTIRELY EMPTY BUT EXTREMELY SHINY BECAUSE THAT’S HOW I ROLL!!!
Orange alert, Red from the U.K. Hairspray and lotion involved. The last five years has been a freakin’ 80s revival already.
Do I even need to spell this out?

The whole FAQ is great.

SOMEONE GET ME OUT OF THIS EVELYN WAUGH NOVEL
I just ordered The Logic Of Failure ( at amazon ) ( at isbn.nu )
I like Amazon’s SIPs, and I particularly like the ones for this book:
Statistically Improbable Phrases (SIPs):
storeroom experiment, bad participants, predator variable, reductive hypothesis, reverse planning, elaboration index, ballistic behavior, experiment director, good participants, moth population, problem sector, partial goals, regulator settings, watch factory, temporal configurations, experiment participants, planning game
The huge restaurant chain that owns Outback, Fleming’s, and various other Tchotchke’s/Flingers type places has brought their expensive seafood joint here, “”Blue Coral.” Best quote from the Register article is:
That was evident Tuesday night, as diners such as Stafford – clad in khaki shorts, an Oxford shirt and a Crevier BMW cap – admired Blue Coral’s high-back booth seats, iridescent-blue mosaic tiles and teak floors. The Fleming’s regular said he plans to cruise among Roy’s, Fleming’s and Blue Coral on a weekly basis.
“This is what Newport Beach is all about,” Stafford said.
Um. No. Newport beach is all about the Crab Cooker, the Villa Nova, Dad’s Donuts, the Blue Beet, and Original Pizza. Among others. There’s an actual town here and we don’t need any more chain restaurants for the guys in polo shirts and pressed khaki shorts and pressed executive hair.
I bet he has a Duffy electric boat, too. Snark. 😀
The full article is interesting, especially in the detail that America’s shitty chain restaurants are getting their profits ground to bits by high energy costs.
Getting popped for DUI is bad. It’s unpleasant and irresponsible to drive drunk. But if you pay the penalty and deal with your shit and don’t do it again, that’s good.
Being racially abusive is really bad too, drunk or not. But there are some people who say and do things drunk they don’t believe sober. And when they apologize (and stop getting drunk), it’s only fair to take them at their word.
But if someone is taken in for DUI, and in the process blasts out a tirade of anti-Semitic slurs and threats at the officers, and that someone is a prominent filmmaker whose father is a Holocaust-denying anti-Semite, and that person has not repudiated his father’s views, and that person is a member and supporter of his father’s crazy church, and that person has made a passion play film of just the kind used to launch pogroms and massacres, it’s time for more than just a public apology.
Hey Mel? It’s time for a complete turnaround. Stop drinking, stop being racist, repudiate your bigoted family and friends, and spend a decade or so making amends. Or just toss the citizenship and leave, because you’re not wanted.
Custom Friends Groups I Inhabit (known): Well at least the ones that stood out as interesting. People who list me but don’t show up as reading me at all either have me in a “never again goddamnit” group or block referers or web bugs, which is fine. I prefer mystery to rejection. 🙂

It was good to see zebulon_y, and twice! Plus, I ate Mexican pork tonight. Mmmm. Playing phone tag with others, hope this pays off.
I am still sleeping outside at least half the night. What the fuck is this, Mississippi?
The engine of communication with others isn’t working well. There are some obvious current reasons for problems, but in general it needs overhauling. I have parts all over the garage floor and I’m looking at the schematic thinking: what needs changing? This thing doesn’t work for shit.
You know how you get little medical problems that pile up? The ones that aren’t going to kill you, and you can live with them basically, but they’re annoying. An itchy spot, a recurring cough, an oof or a twinge or an oolph my stomach. All of those hit me at once this week. It’s what my Dad called “being pecked to death by ducks.” I blame the heat, double extra neurofeedback, going off two antidepressants at once starting with a 50% reduction, and the Demiurge.
Tomorrow’s plan: as little as possible, unless it’s reading or meeting up with nice people who like me.
I’m warming up to Ruba. There’s no where else to go that late, so this is a good thing. This evening’s entertainment included some personal history about being a Marine and a felon simultaneously and how that worked out, someone’s idiotic $500 plastic sunglasses, and a guy named Bilbo who wore too much fringed stuff and a mullet.
Now here’s the good news: Panera’s putting in a location on 17th, apparently in the former Rite-Aid. Hurray for the imminent arrival of good free wifi, lots of power plugs, decent coffee, and food.
I was listening to “Sultans of Swing” on the radio in my car and realizing that what I like about that song is the bassline, although it’s supposed to be a Guitar Asshole Song.
Finally, the National Weather Service agrees that our weather has been all fucked-up:
The heat that scorched Southern California this past weekend was not only record breaking…but largely unprecedented in recorded history. Strong high pressure centered over the southwest United States sent easterly flow and strong sinking and compressing motion into Southern California that maximized the heating. Monsoon moisture also contributed to the heat by keeping the minimum temperatures up…and numerous daily high minimum temperature records were also broken for much of the last week.
Several high temperature records on Saturday were the all-time highest for the entire period of record (see details below). This is particularly remarkable in Escondido since the record dates back to 1900. At San Diego Lindbergh Field the temperature peaked at 99 degrees…becoming the hottest day since September 25 1989…which is still the last 100-degree day on record.
Also remarkable for areas near the coast was the time of year for this extreme heat since several daily records were not just broken…but shattered (by 16 degrees in Escondido!). normally onshore flow with a marine air presence dominates the weather near the coast at this time of year…so record high temperatures are not as high as they are during the late Summer and early fall…when Santa Ana conditions are usually the cause of high temperature records and are more likely to occur.
