PinPalsCategory: internets
I started a blog about a technical topic, and I tried googling the name of it to check my search rankings. That lead me to a site for finding gay prison pen pals (I swear accidentally!).
But the site is full of homo-erotic imagery and is sort of bizarre, especially this page: in which a gay man with a nipple ring is in prison reading the Turner Diaries.
Now, I am not sure if you are familiar with the Turner Diaries, but it is basically a white power manifesto.
Something strange is happening here.

The only part of the house that's done... the rest is still a mess.
Moving all our stuff makes me realize how cheap (e:james) and I are. We got all our furniture at thrift stores or used. It doesn't look too bad... a little threadbare maybe, but we spent less on all of our furniture in the whole house then some people spend on a couch.
It does take a while to look around and find just the right things though, so that you don't look too much like poor college kid ;)

Thank you, Felly, MrMike, Leetee :)
I was a bit unsure about the 'orange and blue' thing but it seems to work OK.

Looks good! Don't say you're cheap with your thrift store stuff -- tell people you are into shabby chic eclectic!

Granted i can't tell how those white walls look but other then those the place looks great. I have to disagree on the carpet though. Yeah wood floors (if they are in great shape) assuming that is what is under the carpet is great. But soft rugs (assuming again in good shape) are better. Yes they are hard to clean. But in winter they are warmer. Also if they are soft people can lay on them and be comfy and not cold. But that is just my preferance. Rugs are also a good way to help protect the floors. Some home owners will belive it or not tear up the rugs and switch them after every long term tenent.

I really wish we could tear up the carpet.
Jenks: hello!
Felly: Thanks :)
Museumchick: Fireplace doesn't work - we'll put candles in it or something
JSL: yeah, we don't have to replaster - you should have just moved instead of remodeling :)

Before the couple we rent from bought the house it was owned by an ancient Italian grandmother who was seemingly blind and into LSD. Note the pasely wall paper in the entry room. The back stare well looks like Charlie Brown's shirt mutated in a Burrough's novel.
Wallpaper aside the place is awesome.

The panelling of the house looks nice. Plus, it's great you'll have a fireplace.

Looks great! Seems from the pictures that it will require less work than my house which I just blogged about on this site! If you need a sledgehammer, though, let me know. ;)

theecarey - there was a great version of this image, but instead of a girl and a pony, it was john kerry and the presidency. But I can't quit seem to find it now.
I figured I'd start off with that to make it clear I don't expect anything.
- snickers*
LOVE that picture. "not yours"; keeps me giggling..Paul - don't know if you are still paying attention to this post, but what about allowing users to mark their (e:strip) account private, which would mean that all their journal pages would include a no-index meta tag to keep private stuff off of Google/Yahoo?
Sorry Mike!
did anyone else get excited by the title of this post cuz they thought it was about a great sale?
It's OK :)
I doubt I will switch to use another markup system as I have used this one in many systems and my users are generally familiar with it.
Gosh, I hate to be such a downer on change but I have used this system for years and have added lots of new options, but the chances of switching to another system is very low. I could add other specific options if you want.
The newer version of my textBling code (what estrip uses) has support for tables and lists. I could opensource that instead!?
