Dusty Chalk

I say an abstraction of a Gordian knot.

That is a thing of beauty.

I guess it depends on how faithful it is to the original story... I remain untethered to my cellphone (much to the chagrin of anyone trying to get in touch with me right then and there).

Get a kitten. Bobby is wonderfully low-maintenance -- even manages to amuse himself most of the day. And he's too young to know any other way of life than the one I provide him. (So, for example, he doesn't know that many cats don't like their bellies rubbed.) Oh, and it will help with the roach problem. It will play with them to death. The senior citizen is high-maintenance and spoiled, so just a warning -- they do get that way when they get older. But you will love them so much by then it won't matter, you'll be more than happy to continue to spoil them. And get a rescue. Just 'cause they're so many of them in the world.

If you haven't moved in yet, now's the time to do it. Just bomb the place (and I don't mean explosive bomb ... just call an exterminator, they'll know what to do).

Epica, Design Your Universe -- just received the vinyl and the mailorder edition today.

It was still a very pleasant way to start the day.

Man, that's a small country.

No worries, man, we'll figure each other out eventually.

Oh. No, less sarcastic, more self-deprecating court-jester kind of thing. (But it's an understandable mistake, considering how often I am sarcastic.)

Whut? You were helpful. I don't know what you're talking about, re: attitude.

So far: I got woken up with a head massage. It was very pleasant.

(looks up 'bezel') Oh, really, that's the bezel? I didn't know that. Yes, the bezel. I like the black bezel. Pretty much all the black watches that I'm going to keep are going to be the ones with the black bezels. Black bezels be berry berry good to me.

They've actually taken over the entire forum. Unlike head-fi, they feel comfortable posting in threads other than THE Stax Thread.

It certainly is black enough -- I like how even the ...whatever it's called, the frame part...the part around the face -- the crown? -- is black enough.

WTF is that? (wanders off to google "gscreen spvcebook")

I must have enough watches because I'm finally beginning to get pickier. The only thing wrong with that one is how "busy" the face is. I wouldn't know what to do with all that information -- so if you're into that -- or if you want to appear to be into that -- then Dusty approves, otherwise he doesn't.

That's exactly what I want.

Mmm...Paganini. You know about this? ECM New Series 2124

What sort of standard deviation do you get?[/me-being-funny] My sister is in textiles, but I don't think she'd get that.

There are times when I want real estate, and there are times when I want extreme compactness -- I have no idea which I'd prefer. I'd have to try something and get an idea first.

Congrats, all-brick is awesome. 5 minute commute doesn't suck, neither. All reports that I've been hearing is that 7 fixes most everything that was wrong with Vista -- so it'd be a step in the right direction. I remain optimistic.

Oingo Boingo picks me up, too. Also: Kraftwerk -- especially the bouncier tracks, like Autobahn.

That's a smart-looking fez.
