I just have to draw attention to Doxy’s breasts. Ok, not her actual breasts. But these: About which a man can only say yum or possibly, Wubba-Wubba. And then there’s this: I never before thought you could put the words Pussy and Bug together and have it turn out yummy. I wish Dox would update […]

I just have to draw attention to Doxy’s breasts.

Ok, not her actual breasts.

But these:

About which a man can only say yum or possibly, Wubba-Wubba.

And then there’s this:

Pussy Bug

I never before thought you could put the words Pussy and Bug together and have it turn out yummy.

I wish Dox would update more often. Her blog is always a delight.

Tag, I’m it

I’m just reading up on how to use Technorati tags. It’s an interesting idea. The two main uses I’ve seen in MT blogs is to convert either keywords or categories into tags.

It’s an interesting idea. The two main uses I’ve seen in MT blogs is to convert either keywords or categories into tags. I’ve got a cool plugin for MT that automatically converts keywords, only, I don’t use keywords.

I’ve also got an applescript in ecto that converts my categories into tags. You’ll see what it does at the bottom of this entry.

What I really want, though, is a plugin that does this automatically in MT; I choose categories or keywords as usual, and then the MT plugin automagically makes them tags when I post. I don’t know if this exists yet, but either I’ll write it or someone else will. I’ll have to study up on how to write MT plugins, I guess.

Edit:

Ah, now that I re-read the tags spec, I see technorati are already honoring MT categories so I don’t need to do anything to make this work. It’s only useful if you use keywords and want them honored.

Teach me to read the spec…

Tattooists are Pirates

“Tattooists are Pirates” — Klem The above quote was part of a conversation about japanese tattooing traditions and tattooists names; the “Hori” prefix in names like Horiyoshi, Horikoi, Horitaka, etc, which I understand means, literally, to poke.

The above quote was part of a conversation about japanese tattooing traditions and tattooists names; the “Hori” prefix in names like Horiyoshi, Horikoi, Horitaka, etc, which I understand means, literally, to poke.

We progressed on to the way American tattooing picked up, used, and altered the best of other traditions.

We’re not afraid to steal shit and make it our own, Klem said. Basically, Tattooists are pirates.

And I said amen.

Hi I’m Karl Elvis, and I’m a Java Junkie.

It’s true.

I love coffee. The smell. The taste. That buzz from the first sip of the morning. It’ll never feel that good again the rest of the day.

I wake up craving it. The thought makes me salivate.

I’m talking coffee; black and hot, with sugar and no other flavor. No nuts no vanilla. No milk. No syrups, no cinnamon, no chocolate. Just coffee. Strong and black, black black.

I make espresso. I make french press so heavy it’s hard to lift. My friend Amie Sue describes it as chewy.

I don’t fuck around with coffee. If it’s not strong, if it doesn’t roar coffee at you, I don’t want it.

When I go to a coffee bar, I usually drink espresso if they’re really good at it, or a multi-shot short (or tall at that place but we’ll make that a tirade for later). No lattes, no fuss. Once in a while a macchiato if they do it right, espresso with a little dab of foam.

The modern trend of kiddee-coffee that tastes like soda pop disgusts me.

But I am a junkie.

This is one of those tiny things that can make a day better. I do a lot of weird tool support at work. I’m the guy who gets the weird problems when the other support people can’t figure something out. So I’ve got one now with Adobe FrameMaker on Unix. The problem’s irrelevant, but I […]

This is one of those tiny things that can make a day better.

I do a lot of weird tool support at work. I’m the guy who gets the weird problems when the other support people can’t figure something out.

So I’ve got one now with Adobe FrameMaker on Unix.

The problem’s irrelevant, but I called Adobe support. And got put on hold.

…And there’s some of the best goddamned jazz I’ve heard in days. Bass that simply has to be Paul Chambers – I’d know that bowing style anywhere.

I didn’t know the song. It might be Miles Davis, or it might be someone earlier. Even Dizzy or someone like that; but some blistering trumpet.

Put me back on hold I wanted to say. Please.

Damn. That’s some good fucking jazz. I need to get my jazz CD’s organized (this will help, it should get delivered monday or tuesday. It’s currently in Fort Worth, TX according to the fed ex tracking site. I like the fed ex tracking site way too much). I’ve not been listening to jazz enough lately because my CDs are outta control and I can’t find anything.

Jazz makes my day better.

He’s not my president. He stole one election by fraud, and then another by a combination of fraud and the advantage of holding an office, which he does not legally hold.

George Bush is not the president of the united states. I don’t care what lies we’re being told; the united states has been without a president for four years now, and will continue to be without a president for four more.

I’d like that to be the issue we’re flogging.

But I like the idea of a gesture tomorrow to un-commemorate this fraudulent inauguration.

I of course have my own counter-culture gesture to make tomorrow. I’m getting tattooed.

Ya’ do what ‘ya gotta do, right?

…and they use too much vermouth.
