Respite

Taking a break from blogging for awhile. Nothing new to say, tired of bitching about the same old shit.

Talk amongst yourselves.

me again... ok... so you wanna hear a funny story?? Too bad, I'm telling anyway! So I was looking at the title of this post, 'respite', and I'm thinking 'yikes, i hope James isn't angry about something'... since 'respite' sounds a whole lot like 'despite', and I'd never heard the word before... sooooo... i went to webster's and found that

res·pite ( P ) 1. A usually short interval of rest or relief. See Synonyms at pause.
2. Law. Temporary suspension of a death sentence; a reprieve.

So of course I am relieved... and now I just want to say, James, i hope your 'usually short interval of rest or relief' is both restful as well as relieving, and I hope to see you back real soon!

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...
