Terminals

I know that terminals have tabs now in leopard but most of the time I am watching log files as they fill up and need to compare so I just keep making separate windows. Plus with tabs you have to keep flipping through em. Its like looking at 15 different papers on you desk and putting 14 of them back in a manilla folder everytime you switch papers.

Mac OS makes this so easy to switch between open windows/application using expose. With a key press it or mouse gesture it basically takes all the windows you have stacked up everywhere and makes them tiny so you an select the one you want to focus on. I like this better than any ther solution.

Anyways, this morning I so many terminal windows open it was crazy.

Having fun in the sun

These are the crazy kind of friends I want to have. I feel like this year we barely got to have sunny, crazy drunk days by water. Everything is entirely too serious.

Or maybe I am just too old to be spontaneous. Everything seems very planned and organized now.

I will be 160lbs

I am trying this milk shake a day extra diet that (e:boxerboi) suggested. I think it is finally working as I have broken the 150lb ceiling and am working toward 160lbs.

The Elmwood Village Kitchen Tour 2008

Today I went on the Elmwood Village Kitchen Tour with my mother and (e:matthew). I liked seeing people's kitchens - it gave me a bunch of ideas. I don't usually get to see many people's kitchens because of my animal allergies. The theme this year was green kitchens.

I would say maybe like 10% of the kitchen's mentioned anything that had to do with green. One lady had bamboo floors and recycled glass counter tops. Another one used a certain kind of tree that grew faster than usual trees. The rest pretty much did not mention anything. Oh accept the one kitchen that had all reused stuff (green) left their shower on during the whole thing to show how awesome it was. It was awesome but serioulsy we could just trust you dude.

I saw some really nice woodwork.

Including this turtle at the Elmwood Village Inn

at which (e:drew) was a tour guide.

Sorry the picture sucks, stupid iphone is really bad with snap shots.

We saw (e:janelle) along the way and ate some Italian Nougat at Delish which was in fact super delish.

In the end we toured the Gilda Radner house which was cool.

WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE
I really thought showing the two empty houses with half done kitchens that were both for rent on Bryant was tacky. I mean I just paid $18 per person to see kitchens. I don't need your lame ass advertsiement pushed in my face. Especially not if your kitchen isn't even all that. Is there no oversight committee of these kind of things. I felt the same way on the Linwood home tour four years ago when an apartment building showed an empty apartment for rent.

Unrelated but along the way:

I also saw these panties outside Delish and wonder what the story behind that is.

Sex in the snow?

Some random stranger who signed up for estrip messaged me today saying its tragic that I am bald now as I would be cold outside if I were naked in the winter.

I tried to explain to him how that would be not fun and that I really don't think there are winter nudists. He probably could only imagine the hot extreme of weather which isn't so bad in short doses.

Apparently, some people have thought about his though because I decided to type "snow fetish" into google which lead me to chillygirls.com. I am not even making a link, type it in and visit if your want - IT IS NOT WORK SAFE and sadly chillyguys.com just redirects back to chillygirls.com

Whats absolutely so crazy is - I could not find one sngle mention of gay snow fetishes and lets be honest - gay people can fetishize anything. It makes me think that man parts and snow don't mix. I mean mine definately don't.

Does anyone have sex in the snow? Have any of you had sex in snow?

tinypliny writes at 07:21:23 10/01/08 - Comment #39450: Contrary to what that stranger who mailed you thinks, I think having shorter hair or being bald in the winter is actually a good idea. First, your short short hair dries faster and if you are bald, you would not hesitate to wear a close fitting cap on your head for the fear of getting cap/hat hair. So the end result is you are more likely to take protective measures against the snow when you are bald rather than when you have a lot of hair that is notoriously hard to keep in check.

metalpeter writes at 07:02:34 09/29/08 - Comment #39355: I didn't sign up for the site but there is something kinda hot about the site. Or maybe it is just the tied up pictures of girls. Snow isn't a fetish of mine at all. Yes the snow is very nice but not the cold aspect. I have heard of things like girls skiing or snowboarding topless but that is different. I myself have not been lucky enough or maybe that is unlucky enough to have sex in the snow. Not that sex in the snow sounds bad but I don't know as I would want to whip it out and try to stay hard as the blood wants to go the other way but it could be fun. In terms of Snowballing I have never tried it, the 1st defination I could never do but the 2nd one sounds hot kinda. I mean at first it sounds gross but there is also that thing that you love someone so much that you would kiss them after they just got you off.

james writes at 11:45:10 09/28/08 - Comment #39331: ya, I have seen gay snow porn. Doesn't turn my crank but can see the appeal.

gardenmama writes at 09:27:06 09/28/08 - Comment #39330: Wow - I'm really out of touch - I didn't even know there was an "urban dictionary" - I could probably learn some new terminology.

paul writes at 09:21:17 09/28/08 - Comment #39329: But whats funnier is that according tot he same urban dictionary a "snow frog" is a french canadian and a snow mexican is a candian living/working illegally in the US.

paul writes at 09:15:11 09/28/08 - Comment #39328: According to the urban dictionary... :::link:::

gardenmama writes at 09:11:03 09/28/08 - Comment #39327: Would that be considered being snow-balled?

tiburon1724 writes at 08:38:07 09/28/08 - Comment #39323: that site's great! thanks! :)

paul writes at 08:15:58 09/28/08 - Comment #39322: I remember and that doesn't count because you were not in the snow.

matthew writes at 07:27:23 09/28/08 - Comment #39320: I've had sex WITH snow.

Typing on a non-networked machine

So this getting in touch with Danielle (e:paul,45806) reminded me of one of the most fun nights of my high school years. It was before the internet touched my life. She had this word processor. Not the computer type, but the kind you type into and can edit and print. Like a hybrid mini terminal/typerwiter. I think it looked something like this.

We spent the evening typing one sentence after another into the machine creating a story of sorts. I wonder what it said. I serioulsy, can't remember a thing about it - maybe she can. I do remember wandering around afterwards and imagining that everytime we stepped on a sewer cover that we were transported into another universe. I started to belive it after a while because everytime we would step on one, no more cars or anyone went by and it snowed and snowed.

Its crazy how much time I spent just wandering around in the snow in my youth. I do just about everything to avoid it now.

Shaved My Head Again

I tried to give myself a haircut again but just trimming the sides. Unfortunately, that left me with a mullet. So then I tried to cut it shorter in the back too which gave me this really bad guido haircut. Then I trimmed the top to, not bald just short and it looked too military. Then I decided to turn it into a mohawk but when it was done I decided I was too old for that which took me to the next step - buzz cut.

Somehow this happens everytime. It makes showering really convenient.

tinypliny writes at 07:27:11 10/01/08 - Comment #39452: I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU SHAVED THAT GORGEOUSLY HANDSOME MOUSTACHE. :/

I am very displeased in a New-Delhi-nasty-kind-of-way. I don't have anyone to mob now. :/

tiburon1724 writes at 08:39:44 09/28/08 - Comment #39324: I like rockin' the buzzcut in the summer, I've grown my hair back in for the colder weather though. I'm too scared to try doing anything to my hair by myself, so I go to Supercuts even for a buzz!

iriesara writes at 07:26:13 09/28/08 - Comment #39319: thank god the mustache is gone, that's all I have to say, even considering my fine intrigue for the shaved head business, which is none

paul writes at 12:20:15 09/28/08 - Comment #39312: I just look younger. You are getting it confused.

hodown writes at 12:06:05 09/28/08 - Comment #39310: You look kinda hot in those pictures!

metalpeter writes at 10:36:09 09/28/08 - Comment #39306: You so should have kept the mohawk that would have been interesting. I tried to cut my hair once, that is why my hair is different lengths. I was shaving and was going up towards my ear and my hand sliped and I took a chunk out of the hair on the side so it was time to shave all the hair on the side. My hair was long enough that mos of the time you couldn't tell how short the stuff on the sides and in the back was. I'm sure the back wasn't exactly even but again you couldn't tell from the hair on top of it.

gardenmama writes at 10:21:06 09/28/08 - Comment #39304: My son ends up doing that everytime he tries to cut his own hair. One of his friends gave him a buzz cut once when there was something wrong with the clippers. He ended up with these completely down to the skin bare spots on his head (sort of a leopardy pattern, though more sporatic). I, of course, had to make fun of him and call him spot. It took forever for the hair to grow back on those spots too - it was wierd. Anyway, it's a nice look on you - you look very handsome (and serious).
