Went to this funny rave-thingie sat. night with (e:paul) and jesse f. [inlink]paul,2438[/inlink] Danced my heart out. Yes, and if you look at those pics you will notice that we were on average 5-10 years older than just about everyone there. But, I say let the kids have their fun. And I'm still a kid right? Well I danced and danced and danced some more (decided that I really do like to dance, though I try to pretend I don't). It really is tremendous exercize if you really do it for a while (especially the type of freako-rave dancing that we were doing (ask (e:lilho) to demonstrate some time)).

Alas, it seemed to work backwards. I came back and noticed I had gained about 50 pounds. Not sure how it happened. Maybe the strange thing that was slipped into my drink had something to do with it... maybe not eating at McKeyD's...maybe not doing those handstand push-ups...who knows. So if you see me rolling through town, take it as a word of caution against extreme exercize. And get yo fat ass some double arch surprises.

by empty ice cream
left upon the chair
melting as are we

coops still a coop
made from lively fowl
chicken little runs
and republicans beware

three toilets to choose from
beeboppin on the roof

buddha does as buddha is
lies atop his bosom buddy
sleepy stroking
halfelt tickles

remember the jazz
forget your friends
remeber the friends
forget the jazz

someone is watching over
maybe with a microphone
watchout don't eat those brains
stewarts here, look what i can do

I am so louche today! (said with the voice from that funny WTF movie, or Ali G's Borat or Brüno. It has suddendly become chorenight at 567. Got (e:matthew) and (e:lilho) gettin' jiggy wid da dishes and vaccuum respectively ((e:paul) is here too, doing the difficult task of drying the dishes). I am trying to not be drawn in. I took up a broom for a bit, watered the plants, and rearranged things slightly. Now I am hoping no one notices me here in the corner typing away. Thank you elmwoodstrip, take me away <zooooooom>.

Anyone else in da' house mucho impressed by (e:paul) and his awesome spellcheck?!? Over time it has been perfected until it is quite possibly the most user-friendly and least inconvenient spellcheckers I have ever used. It lets you see the misspelled words and then simply click on the correct suggestion to have it automatically replaced in your entry. No typing on your part... a handy list of suggestions if the closest one just isn't it... and a nice colorful interface to boot.

I told (e:paul) maybe it's time to market this baby. I decided to look around for other comparable services to see what was to offer. Hotmail didn't even offer spellcheck (unless it's something you have to pay for). Livejournal has one, but it sucks muchissimo. Take a look:



Crappy, eh? They highlight the misspelled in red and then give you a list containing the words and suggestions. No handy little interface. No clickable suggestions. You actually have to type your own words in, how uncivilized... So if anyone else has praise feel free to share. And, of course, (e:paul) is always available to hear concerns/bugs/suggestions from any of you lovely peeps or peeps-to-be.

sidenote: I just wrote a rant about an hour ago, so take a looksee...
