Reminders of a friend lost to asia
Category: hardware
I think about (e:jesse) a lot. I don't know exactly what about him made me think about him but lots of little things remind me of him.

This product for example
. It looks like something I think he would design even the advertisement. Look at the etching on the connectors.

Also I bought the nokia n800 internet device. I have wanted one forever. Not because I don't have 15 other obile ways to connect to the net on the go but because this one runs linux and they give you the developent kit. Also it has the opera browser and flash 8.

Here is a pic from the net, I will put up my own pics when it arrives.

I should bring my Zaurus linux handheld w/ Wireless card to the party. Then we'll both really look like a bunch of dorks.

As it's my only mobile device with wi-fi connectivity since my laptp LCD got busted, it's my main tool for surfing e-strip when I'm not at my desktop.
lilho - 03/16/07 12:05
it is arrived
leetee - 03/16/07 10:58

Now Accepting Applications
Category: gay
Okay, so I was looking up fag hag on wikipedia (WIKIPEDIA - fag hag) to see if there were any tips about getting a new one and learned that there are also fag stags - straight guys that have an affinity toward hanging out with gay guys. This is new to me, but not so new for (e:flacidness) who seems to have a million fag stags. I just never had a name for the before.

Here is Margaret Cho's take on the term fag hag

I also learned the term fruit fly, which is similar to fag hag. I like it better.

So the point of this journal. The reason it is an advantage for a gay guy to have a most beautiful straight girl "fruit fly" instead of a haggish one is that other gay guys, might mistake you for a straight guy with a hot girlfriend - thus increasing your desirability.

In return you feed the beautiful fruit fly's ego and everyone wins. Its like a perfect symbiotic relationship. What the freakin' hell a I going to do with (e:lilho) leaves town.

I know it's early but I am just putting it out there. I am now accepting applications for a new fruit fly for Fall 2007. I have a lot to offer. Benefits depend on previous experience. Extreme physical beauty and comprehensive experience with gossiping are both required as is free time and close proximity. Damn, I guess I am demanding.

I think imk2 might be a good fit. I have only heard the Fag Hag tittle and not the other terms. I don't know if I understand the psychecology of all that. Hopefully you will get lots of aplications.
jenks - 03/15/07 18:56
wow I liked that article. I've been called a fag hag a few times (by my gay friends) but couldn't tell if it was derogatory or not.
mike - 03/15/07 18:52
isn't there a ho brother left? maybe he can be your stag. Why take the position out of the Ho family.
jenks - 03/15/07 18:49
I'm pretty good at gossiping! Not sure about extreme physical beauty, free time, or close proximity though....

Damn!
imk2 - 03/15/07 16:59
ohhh....pick me! pick me! what does the application process consist of???
leetee - 03/15/07 16:27
i think he replaced you with a younger model, (e:hodown). he will say it is because his fruit fly has to be in town, since that is why he is shopping around now.

i don't think there are any more Ho sisters, Paul...
joshua - 03/15/07 09:02
Fag stag? I've never heard that term before, lol. What do fag stags get in exchange for the extreme beauty and gossiping? I don't know if boosting the ego would do it for straight guys.
hodown - 03/15/07 09:01
youre replacing me? jerk.

Riding Sweaty
Category: health
(e:lilho) says it's like the gym equivalent of riding dirty. She is also guilty of riding glossy and riding sticky. At least she says so.

(e:lilho) and I saw probably the hottest guy I have ever seen besides matt and terry at the gym. I got to see much more of him than she did as turned out his locker was right behind mine.

It is pouring so much right now and we are trapped at spot downtown. I am drinking a meal in a glass.

Wandering Around
Category: downtown
The snow is finally melting at the 24. Everything is muddy and all the bulbs are blooming. Rumour has it there are lots of flowers planted at our house.
image

Last night (e:theecarey) made pizza.
image

She even made gluten free pizza for (e:matthew)
image

I love watching dirty snow melt. It's hard to imagine how much dirt can be collected in snow.

Went to Kunis To Go on lexington for lunch with (e:enknot). I ordered lots of tasty food. Tony got the Bento box, I will let him tell you how yummy it was. Next time I am getting one.

They had those amazing sour candies I bought in San Francisco when visiting (e:twisted)

What is up with the design of this house on North Pear. Do you think it looked better before it was super sided.

It is purple it is just weird lighting in the pic. You can;t eat at Kuni's To Go, it is just to go. We ate outside in the sun.
jenks - 03/13/07 23:58
wait- you can eat-in at kuni's-to-go?
twisted - 03/13/07 22:53
Nice Oven!

Didn't your kitchen used to be purple? It looks red now. I like it.
mike - 03/13/07 22:17
how does snow get so dirty?

Stardust returns to dust
Category: buildings
I thought this might mean something to (e:terry) - growing up in Vegas and all. Stardust is no more.


jenks - 03/13/07 21:37
ok I seriously have a problem. I don't even know what stardust is, but somehow that video almost made me cry. Seriously. WTF. i cry at freaking Budweiser commercials. i think I need help. :)
