New Lifestyle, New "Lives"

In renewing my posting efforts on my blog, I noticed it was a bit outdated on links and decor. I began an attempt to clean it up, and in so doing, decided a fresh start was the most efficient way in which to accomplish this. So here it is. I will continue to add relevant links, graphics, etc, as I go. Please, let me know what you think of my blog's new, fresh look.

Now on to other topics. In local news, Leeann's Birthday/Karaoke Party was a smash hit that saw almost everyone who attended smashed within the first couple of hours. Bad singing, reunions with old friends and acquaintances, and a few new faces made for a nice mix and the crowd was just the right size overall for mingling. Tim and I had a blast to the tune of a 5 AM departure for home. So Kudos to Leeann for a party that has sufficiently replaced the blight of the last party disaster (Halloween) in our periodically-inebriated collective memory.

In national news, as if you hadn't already been pounded in the face until your nose and ears bleed from the redundancy and repetitiveness, the pope kicked on Saturday. Maybe now the Catholic Church can shake loose the chains of its modern dark-age mantra in favor of a more progressive, humanist approach. Or not. The Penguins don't like change for the better.

Finally, roosters and alarm clocks everywhere somehow misplaced 2:00 AM on Saturday night, so they instead skipped directly on to 3:00 AM hoping that no one would notice. Needless to say, due to rampant oversleeping and snooze-buttoning, today is also known as the unofficial national holiday of Calling-in Late for employees and employers alike.

I like the look of the place, nice refurbishing job. It looked good before too though. Anyway, I agree that Sat. was fun, though I may have slightly different memories since I was not drinking, but total fun none the less.

Kat, the link to Tim's blog is there. In fact, it's at the top of the list.

Tim, I'm glad you like the place. :D

Aha! A New Nine Inch Nails Video . . .

OK, I know I complained about the blog videos in the past, but I got curious and clicked over to check out the website that hosts them . . . you know, to see what was there. Well, I came across the new Nine Inch Nails video for the song "Only." After watching it, I decided I had to share it with everyone because it reminded me of a music video from the '80s by Aha (sp.?). You know the one I'm talking about--unless you're too young to have seen it, let alone remember it.--it was "Take on Me." Obviously the music and sentiment share nothing in common, but the style and medium of the video have an interesting parallel. Both depict being trapped in an alternate plain of existence visible to and of physical reality, but seperated and sharply divided from it--the inner fantasy world juxtaposed and competing with reality. Anyway, enjoy! (Video No Longer Available) Cheers-Thanksalot!

Penguins Are People, too

Just got the latest issue of Out magazine and while thumbing through the usual spread of young and impossibly fit models hawking ridiculously priced fashion, gadgets, and the latest and trendiest in "must-haves", I came across a story that was (pull out the puke bucket) actually heart-warming. Ironically, the story takes place in the refrigerated section of New York's Central Zoo, where a pair of special penguins have proven that being gay really is going to the birds. Meet Roy and Silo, a pair of chinstrap penguins. Roy and Silo met during the 1998 breeding season and paired off for life as many species of penguin are wont to do. Nothing unusual here, save one small detail: both are male penguins. Gay penguins are nothing new. The are several paired same sex penguins at the Berlin Zoo in Germany. The Gay penguins there have gotten so famous in their homeland that there were protests when zoo keepers attempted ways of making the homo-ice-birds go for members of the oppos...
