4:41 pm - Dumbledore = Gay; Me = not surprised
|
Hell, I'm waiting for Chris Carter to announce Mulder's bisexuality.
Somewhere on my hard drive is an unfinished fanfic story about Argus Filch, with a brief, incidental BDSM moment involving him, Dumbledore and Snape. The story actually features Mrs. Norris prominently. But no feline BDSM. Yet.
And now for something completely different...
George W. Bush is stalking me. He's visited both my old hometown (Enterprise, Alabama) AND my current hometown (San Diego) in the past 8 months. His excuse? Tornado and wildfire. As if.
current mood: hungry

11:10 am - The chink in Smaug's armor
|
I wore a sleeveless shirt to the Pride parade on Saturday, making sure to apply a second coat of sunscreen halfway thru.
Alas, my left arm must not reach as well as my right, because I have a 2-inch wide sunburn on the back of my right shoulder where I missed rubbing sunscreen BOTH times! I am teh lame.
I'm also enjoying reading Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows spoilers on Wikipedia AND my flist's LJ entries. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Potter_and_the_Deathly_Hallows

8:56 am - A Lesson from Clyde Bruckman
|
http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,21587991-661,00.html From the Herald Sun in Australia, on the Virginia Tech massacre and the killer's post-mortem media package:
"...Cho's seething profanity and rantings provided little explanation of a motive behind his attacks."
Little explanation of a motive??!!!!!! What reason do you need to be shown?
In the immortal writing of Saint Darin Morgan, author of The X-Files scripture "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose":
"Don't you get it? You do the things you do because you're a homicidal maniac!"

10:28 am - a tornado ate my home town
|
Even a pathogen such as I came from somewhere, or what's left of it.
I'm 2000 miles away from my home town, and I had to weed through noise about Britney's rehab or Anna Nicole's probate to find out the day after it happened. The local newspapers with the most immediate news don't have RSS feeds, which is my preferred choice for receiving current event news.
Enterprise [Alabama] Tornado News (aggregated feeds set up by one of my friends) http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/GlFigXTI2xGFp4rKJZhxuA/
My folks are fine. My high school alma mater and many old stomping grounds, however, are not. Although I don't know any of the 9 people who died, I'm connected through their friends and kin.

8:02 pm - Toddler in Champagne Stupor
|
"Mulder and Scully had a private party while their son was already asleep in his toddler bed. He looked at the empty champagne bottle while looking at his beloved wife and life long partner." I give you ONE guess as to who wrote this. For what it's worth, I always hit the Recommend link several dozen times just to boost her ego.

3:17 am - The spammer next door
|
My LJ allows anonymous comments, but lately, it's been abused by comment spam.
Makes me wonder if I know spammers in the meat world. I mean, have I waited at a traffic light with a spammer in the next car?
Have I browsed the computer book section and said "pardon me" to a spammer as I'm reaching for a Peachpit book?
Have I bumped into a spammer as I'm scanning the Ethernet connectors at Fry's?
What do spammers look like? Are they rich? Poor? Nerdy? Male? Female? Foreign? Domestic?
Is there some sort of spammer profiling I can do the next time I'm out and about so that I can kick the ass of the next spammer I encounter?
current mood: angry

8:18 pm - Send me SPAM!!!!!!
|
|
In a fit of violent altruism (OK, boredom) before dumping my spambox, sometimes I take the time to report the easy ones, especially the "foreign" email scams that want to send me huge Lottery winnings or to help some rich person move millions through my bank account. These parasites ALWAYS include a valid email in the message body, so that I can contact them to give them my bank's routing numbers. I enjoy reporting these idiots to their webmail providers, and occasionally the sysadmins slip me a thank you note: WINNING NOTIFICATION Sun, Sep 10, 2006 at 7:52 AM FROM: abuse@walla.net.il TO: camps@likeigiveafuck.com
Dear sir or madam, Thank you for informing us of this matter. This account is terminated. Best Regards, Guy Oren-Walla Abuse Team
If you'd like to join in the fun, do this: - Select "View header" or "View Source" or "View Original" from your email menu
- Select and Copy the entire message with header
- Hit FORWARD to open your email composing window and Paste that entire message into your email
- Locate the contact email in the message body, for example: spammersname@webmail.com
- Type "abuse@webmail.com" -- or whatever the webmail account was, such as Yahoo or Hotmail -- into the address field
- Hit SEND
Normally, you never get a thank you note (criminal law legal reasons). But sometimes you do. It's a little more complicated to report spammers to the ISPs or hosting server where they want you to buy penis enlargement drugs, but I do that sometimes, too.

5:52 am - porn shack back online
|
campylobacter's X-Files porn shack is now again online: http://campylobacter.memebot.com/
I was considering not uploading it until I had converted it to a positional CSS - XHTML - RSS combo, but I don't have the time yet. So its rickety, retarded old-skool table-layout HTML with Dreamweaver templates will menace the WWW a little while longer.

3:11 am - I have a new hosting server
|
I changed my ISP from Earthlink to a cheaper dial-up plan, for those of you who were wondering why the Porn Shack has been 404 for four months. I've not only been too lazy to get around to re-uploading the site, but I've been slow in finding the time to develop a pure CSS layout to separate display from content. (Not that the Porn Shack has what you could call "content" by any stretch of the imagination.)
I'm so devastated that the .xxx TLD failed to get approved. I had such wondrous, amazing plans for www.campylobacter.xxx
On the brighter side, I and the spouse have emptied and vacated a storage unit that has wasted $8400 over the last 5 years to store $200 worth of junk that cost $75 to haul to the dump. We also cancelled the delivery of bottled water to our home (those of you who have tasted SoCal tap water will understand). We now get decent drinking water from those pay-per-gallon dispenser filter units.
All that money we're not paying for storage, water delivery, and DSL will now help to offset the increase in our rent. We live in the real estate suckfest that is Southern California. We'd move to Canada if we had equity in anything.

11:48 am - I had a friend in Metairie, Louisiana.
|
Metairie, Louisiana lies at the south end of the Lake Pontchartrain (former) bridge.
My friend has 3 German shepherds and an adorable little house. He operates the website http://www.Silly-Monkey.com/
I hope to hear from him the next time he checks his email. I feel certain he's OK. But I have no way of knowing until he gets back in touch.
Hurricanes suck.
