Pierced Guy

Obviously a badass.

Cutie

Hey… how you doin’?

Yeah, she knows she's a looker.

How you doin’ take two.

They really should have gone for makeup...

HERPES!

Please don't eat me...

ZOMBIES!

Hi.

Token minority!

What's worse, not enough makeup or bad makeup?

What the fuck is up with her eye shadow?

The winner is: not enough.

HERPES take two!

Twitter Tools is pretty slick.  Right now I have it set-up to post a daily digest of my Tweets (see default version here) and also allow me to update Twitter when I make a new blog post.   I’m not so sure how I feel on that feature, I have it enabled (but off by default) now.   I mean, it makes sense to answer “What are you doing?” with “Writing a blog post, here it is!”  Especially considering how intermittent these posts are and all.

WordPress Mobile Edition… I need to test out and my BlackJack just isn’t cooperating at the moment.  There’s another plugin that apparently does something similar, but this is the newer one so I went with this one first.

I just find it hilarious that people fail to understand that a falling dollar makes our exports more attractive.  That of course helps close our insanely-high trade defecit and guess what, helps the economy.

It’s just like China… except without the artificial undervaluing… and less widespread human rights abuses (hopefully).

I liked it quite a bit though, I must say.

I still need to find a way to hack up the bottom to not look retarded (my links sort of break the format), but that’s a decent enough project to undertake.

Enjoy the new shiny.

When it’s something personal though, I ask myself the same sort of question (I’m lame like that)… and usually arrive at the former.

Peer pressure’s a bitch, ain’t it?

(While I’d love to end which such a concise phrase, I really don’t mean anything negative by that statement.  Just… I sorta do some (very) crude utilitarian analysis and personal stuff usually comes up short.  Well, that’s not entirely true either, since I can sit and play EVE all day and that doesn’t benefit anyone, but it also doesn’t require much work.  So it’s not strict utilitarianism relative to absolute actions, but more towards unit effort.

I guess…

Yeah, that’s some crude intellectual masturbation there.  This is why I don’t post to this thing much, Twitter’s 140 characters keeps me from the above quite well.)

Wheeeeee.

Also that I’ll be making mildly angry calls for like the rest of the week.

In other news, bacon.
