To celebrate.
To celebrate here is a video of a demonic possessed little girl wrestling Japanese men.
I can't think of a more appropriate way to remember him. Other than a giant, wet shit.

A question for your sporting types
I am walking the dog and the (e:Jim) (I finally can trust him off the leash) around 6 today and I notice every other person out and about is wearing a Sabers jersey. From this I have gleaned that there is a game tonight, probably in an hour or so: enough time to get drunk at the bar so you feel comfortable shaking your tits every time we score a goal.
But, my question, is wearing a jersey to a game or game related event equivalent to wearing a t-shirt of the band that you are going to see. So, for example, if one were to wear a GWAR shirt to a GWAR show you would become "that person". Does it stand to reason that someone wearing a Sabers jersey to a Sabers sporting event also becomes "that person"?
Certainly, it feels that way. By wearing said band shirt to show you are saying "Hey, not only do I like the band so much I would see them play but I would also wear their shirt. I am a bigger fan than you." The Jersey says the same thing, a nice trump card/marketing-gimick when you are in a town who chears with one mind, one voice, one car horn rhythm.
So, does it work, or are the fields of music and sports too different to have such similarities (with the obvious exception of Eye of the Tiger, which can be played at any sporting event according to Emily Post)
kisses,
-James

School is fucking out
This summer I have no classes to take or school reading to get ahead with. With only work planned I have so much free time.
So what have I done so far?
Since the week started I have had a lot of wine, several martinis and a beer.
This does not bode well.
Last night I took it easy. I sat at my computer. With no paper to write, no information to look up, no school's library website to curse at like a wounded sailor I just... stared...at...the...screen...*drool*
I researched video games I could play.
Is that it for me?
Come home from work, stir a martini up, and rot my brains into consumer submission?
If you don't hear from me it is because I am in some alcoholic stupor near an overheated Wii.

Bubble Mother Fucking Tea, mother fucker
The sort of punch distilled from a child's smile ground of their face and mixed with scotch. Oh yes, it was indeed a happy moment.
I had heard of bubble tea a few years ago, and it sounded bizarrely exotic. Buffalo seems to culinary be insular. We have great food here. But I the thai places are blah, I have yet to have good Chinese food, and most good restaurants seem to work on that American/French fusion formula "Large piece of meat and braised veggies". That is great and all but not the best place to expand your palate.
But while waiting for photos to be developed at Color tech Jim and I had a snack/dinner at Bao Bakery and Teahouse. Holy crap it was wonderful. It is a little Chinese bakery and offers a huge list of bubble teas and other drinks. I have been looking for a chinese bakery since I moved here. Even in tiny little Albany there was one filled with amazing baked goods.
If you don't know what is up with Chinese baking, it works like this. You take this croissant like crumbly pastry and fill it with anything, teriyaki chicken, BBQ pork, tofu and veggies. And oh man, these were do good and only 85 cents a bun. Two buns will satisfy anyone when hungry.
The bubble tea was so much better/weirder than I thought it would be. I had lychee flavor. 12 oz of lychee tea was so much more than I could drink. Gnawing on black pearls of tapioca is magically weird. It is, like Guinness, a meal in a can/cup.
So, if you are ever near Thunderdome/The Boulevard Mall please stop by and drink/eat until you are giddy from all the super tasty treats.
love

For U Buffalo H8tahs
Here is an excerpt:
There is a fine line between something and nothing and Buffalo manages to walk it straight despite the large quantities of alcohol it consumed in hopes of blurring that line just a little wider. Unlike other cities, where it's easy to sink into the flow of everything's fine, in Buffalo, you must be a prophet or drown in utter mediocrity. Buffalo demands existential authenticity, and the rock we push up the hill (only to have it roll back down over us time and time again) is our only salvation. Like Rimbaud in the gutters and back-alleys of Paris, in Buffalo, you have no choice but to remake life; there's no bullshit left to buy, no palace gates to hide behind (I endure Siddhartha Gautama's 4 passing sights whenever I walk out my front door). Buffalo is the most advanced city in America; we progressed beyond progress.
And the full deal is here
enjoy kittens

Saving a dead whale for supper.
I don't say this to pat myself on the back. For I am pliable enough to do that myself and I am sitting down now anyway and the patting would be uncomfortable for the both of us.
But we are moving in a month, and over the two years we have lived here I have become my mother. This is not to say I have at any point lactated or made someone believe baby Jesus cries when you touch yourself; rather I have collected enough food to stock a bomb shelter for however long the half-life of Plutonium is.
I have no intention of moving several thousand pounds of adzuki beans, a metric ton of brown rice, an drum of olive oil, and enough canned tomatoes to bomb Drezden to the ground. So, it is up to me to use this cyclopian collection of foods up.
It was easy enough at first, there were palatable connections to make among the items. But over the last few weeks the options have become less enjoyable. Tonight I had a 28oz can of crushed tomatoes, some half and half about to expire, stale abarito rice, and various fresh foods. I should mention that out of concern for using all these staples, I have been ignoring all the veggies which are in various stages of rotting.
Well, creamy tomato risotto with chicken sausage and crimany mushrooms actually came out well. But I am affraid i am running out of possibilities. What do you do with a pound of freeze dried shitaki mushrooms, cannelloni beans and lasagna noodles? And if you say shitaki bean lasagna I wont hear of it. I wont make another culinary abortion like that.
But, just three more weeks until the moving van is here and life can resume to normal. And I can begin creating another future crisis of too much food that doesn't go together.

My Silly Phobia
If anyone is planning on using this information to torture/murder me I must warn you, it wont be easy.
I have a phobia, and it is really weird. Do you know anyone else that has this, because it is starting to make me think I am too weird for my own good; moving from charmingly eccentric to fucking psychotic.
I get really freaked out by gas giant planets. Jupiter is alright, but Neptune and Uranus boarder on bowel loosening terror. Recently, the discovery of this earth like planet were cause of panic. The planet itself is sufficiently earth like to be fine, but it's sun is much smaller and cooler than ours and looms 5x larger in the sky than our sun does. That was close enough to a gas giant to really let me get nervous. Imagine, the very life giving sun above your head is the source of your terror? What a hellish planet. I nearly spent the remander of the day under the bed sheets, shivering.
So, does anyone else suffer from this malady? Know anyone? Or am I stranded in this neurosis alone?
help.

My hangup with organized religion is that its about being convinced that you are right and everyone else is wrong. I don't believe that Buddhists, or people otherwise unexposed to christianity, are condemned to hell by default. When Mr. Falwell met is maker, I seriously doubt the big man said, "Way to stick it to them gays, Jerry!"
Jason: No, it isn't an end to bigotry, but is the end of a force which organized and normalized that bigotry.
And Kerry sucked. Bush was riding high on a number of issues and Kerry's middle of the road crap didn't work. Kerry just didn't have an edge on a number of issues which were Bush's babies. It wasn't the policies. THe people who voted for Bush aren't typically people who benefit from his policies. But man, do they hate the gays and do they hate abortion. And that is how he won. Kerry certainly wasn't two term material anyway, so I am glad the Dems can clean house in '08 and the Republicans can take Jesus out of their ass and become a party with meaningful policy again.
Phelps is of note to nobody except for people in the media who have designs of accusing every last Christian of being exactly like him, which perfectly explains why people like Michael Moore even bring it up. Nobody gives a shit. The guy's "church" consists of his family, and a couple of close friends. He is not as dangerous as Falwell because Falwell actually had a significant following, and a financially successful operation.
Now - as far as the political stuff is concerned - how shitty and unpalatable must the Democrats really be, if they can barely scrape by a majority going against one of the most unpopular Administrations and Congresses in recent memory? If everybody so loved the far-left agenda of John Kerry he's be in the office instead of Dub. The whole situation is a mess because the parties feel like they HAVE TO be extremists. That's where the money comes from.
I'm not particularly happy or sad that he's dead, although its particularly disturbing to find glee in someone elses passing. He was an asshole, but he wasn't Hitler or Mao. He was a radical in the same vein as many other radicals in our history, from both sides of the political spectrum. The dark side of the 1st Amendment is in our Jerry Falwells, and on the flipside, absolute fucking morons like Ward Churchill. Not many (perhaps none at all) were as influential as him. He was the first to take an unorganized segment of our culture and turn it into a dominant voting block - that in and of itself is a lesson in political organization that people are going to copy for a long time.
and i do have to say that sometimes violence against uppity women is neccessary... (KIDDING!)
Well, there are many, many ass holes to fill in for Falwell and Phelps and others. The largest church in washington state is run by a 30 something who preaches about the use of violence against fags, pro-choice folk, and uppity women.
such fun
I also just realized that I have lumped Falwell and Fred Phelps into one big asshole of a person. interesting. Hopefully Phelps will kick the ol bucket too...
that being said... you should check out this
:::link:::
wherein Michael Moore goes after Fred Phelps and it is hilarious.
Jerry has made a long career out of being an asshole.
Remember the tellatubies? Those giant puppets that danced or something in a kids TV program. Jerry called one of them the agent of the homosexual agenda to recrtuit god fearing children into a life of sodomy.
Jerry blamed 9/11 on feminists and homosexuals
Jerry called Hurricane Katrina god's judgment on a vice ridden city.
It is unclear why anyone would give this bloated fat carcass air time, as some exotic medical condition makes his mouth unable to spew anything but vile shit.
Jerry helped form "The moral majority" a group who wanted to put people in high ranking political jobs who would hate women, minorities, the homos, etc. And they were instrumental in getting Ronald Reagan elected.
So, I will take your warning about demon possession to heart. I am already lining my apartment with a ring of sage and salt.
Only in Japan would they have a demon in WWF, or whatever their acronym is. Sweet vids.
