Update and More
Quick Updates
As most of you know, my laptop was stolen on my birthday. Despite having other access to the Web, I've been slow in updating because I no longer have an AIM profile in which to advertise this. But I've ordered a new computer, so all should be back to normal soon. Meanwhile, I am in California visiting my dad, and I will return to Baltimore on the 7th. I hope everyone had a good Xmas, and Happy New Year!
Kiefer Gets Bumped Off...
Kiefer Sutherland, AKA Jack Bauer of 24, clearly enjoyed a better New Years' celebration than most of us. And I hope it was worth it, because that embarrassing display just cost him his space in my heart.
uvexpressionx7: are you utterly disappointed at your man right now?
o0 freelancer 0o: yeah
o0 freelancer 0o: i mean, that's kind of a turn-off
o0 freelancer 0o: this is akin to peeing your pants in public
I'm sure there are those of you out there who will dismiss Kiefer's antics as carefree and badass, to which I have this to say: Yes, there are worse things than body slamming a Christmas tree in a hotel lobby, but Kiefer - you are a grown man with a successful career and a teenage daughter, not a meathead frat boy who has had one - no, make that more like five - too many drinks. You are about a cheap penile-enlargement away from being the middle-aged male equivalent of Tara Reid. Don't do that to yourself. Don't do that to us.
...And is Replaced By Fragmaster
Kevin "Fragmaster" Bowen of Doom House fame (and writer for Something Awful, site director for Planet Stacked, and former writer for various gaming websites that are nerdy beyond even what I can handle) has taken time out of his busy schedule being an Internet god (or something like it) to acknowledge the existence of mere mortals like myself. And for that he totally rocks! Kevin writes:
Dearest Stalker,
I don't get a whole lot of marriage proposals, so thanks a lot! Unfortunately, I live on the West Coast... so I don't think we can get hitched. Shucks. It's a shame because I can cook and if you were nice I would cook for you sometimes :(
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
-Kevin
Kevin is a sweetheart to offer and I am not deserving of the genius that birthed something as great as Doom House. Along those lines, Lowtax Kyanka has my props too, but there's just something about the blank-eyed sexiness of "Reginald P. Linux? I heard you needed a cop" that can't be matched.

Random Poking Fun
Before we jump into the chapter of my life called "Thanksgiving Recovery: The Day After," I must share something that I found while surfing the 'net. It takes itself so seriously that it well crosses the boundary into the kingdom of cute absurdity, where "cute" is taken in the most condescending and demeaning manner possible. The following is from ConservativeMatch.com, an online dating service for conservatives seeking conservatives. (I'm not predicting a lot of "BiDBM seeking same" on this particular dating service...) Anyway, here is the introduction to the site.
So far, so good. I can't say I'm thrilled about the prospect of Republicans reproducing, but that's well within their right, and personal ads with political bents are nothing new. However, I did do a double-take when I saw the following:
Now to be completely fair, the word "exciting" does mean "to elicit an emotional response," and I suppose if you're living the lifestyle of a 70-year-old man on dialysis, things such as the daily arrival of the mailman and dressing yourself could count as "exciting." Hearing about Paris Hilton acting like a vacuous ninny can be considered "exciting" as well, in that the emotional response elicited is constant seething rage. So yes, the English language is a diverse and colorful tongue, but even that still doesn't explain why anyone would call a pro-life prayer group an exciting conservative event, much less attend one on a date. I think your chances of getting on base are pretty much shot when the majority of the night is spent talking to God about fetuses.
So ConservativeMatch.com may be for you if you're into really fun stuff like guilt-ridden sex, followed by "Breakfast with the GOP" the awkward morning after. Good luck with finding that special someone!
