I'm going to a con in Seattle on the 24th and 25th.
It's a wind project siting workshop the AWEA is hosting, not a real "con".
Nice of you to come to town for my birthday! I planned it like that. Which one is your b-day? I'm meeting a friend for drinks on the evening of the 23rd, taking the train back home on the 25th. Also, it's a work thing so I may end up being on a leash (at least until the co-drones go to bed). Also, @apocrypha - sorry for your loss. My grandma was my favorite relative.  |

Thanks folks, but please, don't be sorry, everyone is just incredibly relieved. We all loved her dearly but she had stopped being her a long time ago.

Bolded the important date  Logistics probably won't work to meet up during the week anyway, especially with Kieran involved. Come up on a weekend soon! |

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

My last remaining grandmother just died a few hours ago. Kind of a relief really, she'd had a really crappy last couple of years, zero quality of life and had been open about just wanting to die for about 18 months now. For her sake, and the sake of those who were looking after her in the last years, I'm glad she's finally out of her pain.
Something really wrong about laws that stop doctors from helping someone die with dignity and without pain.
Condolences. Your final statement, I could help you start a thread on that. |

Today I was looking for a magazine in my mother's bedside cabinet and I came across some daft test about sex. So: my mother likes anal, oral, and my dad's cock is bent. Nauseous. FML |

Random now has one of those cone-head things after ripping out two of the stitches in his ear. It's pathetic, sad, and uproariously funny all at the same time. And Oscar (the big cat) keeps sneaking up behind him and smacking the top/back of the cone.

Wow, that FML site has some real gems. Good thing I cannot access it at work.
EDIT: Also, actually got up off the butt and joined a gym today. Hopefully the join fee/monthly fee keeps me honest and going.
At the very least, attractive women walking about every now and then is surely better scenery than the white wall in front of our treadmill in the basement.
And I hate myself for even considering this a plus.

You hate yourself for preferring the sight of women rather than a white wall? I won't be an asshole like I've been before, but sometimes you say the oddest things. |

He enjoys the scenery. He dislikes objectifying women to do so.

Enjoying the sight of an attractive woman is objectifying her? Damn, I guess I've been doing it wrong then.

Well, it has been implied that enjoying is objectifying. I don't think one automatically means the other.

There are some misconceptions about how men stare at women. Its not 'objectification' in the same way one would admire a car or a vase. Its all about context, body language, atmosphere, etc. A super model dripping sweat on a treadmill while her breasts gently sway is omgwtfhot. Same woman, dead on a morgue slab, not so much (for most I hasten to add). In this way men are more similar to women than is commonly believed, but we are just far less discrete about it, because we're randy bozos.

No one who is in a gym minds being objectified. Half of being fit is wanting to look good. Few people like overt ogling (hell, even when it happens to men, that can be weird), but there's nothing wrong with a little "objectification".

Well, a real plus, for me, is that every cardio machine is lined up in front of banks of TVs, and each unit has a device you can plug earphones into in order to tune into the audio from the channel of your choice. Now, I can get my workout and my MSNBC on at the same time

I'm afraid that my cynicism has reached new heights. Approaching severe territory. I can't trust fucking anyone to do the right thing. [edit] Also, money pisses me off. |

So anyways, I could have gone out with 4 strippers last night to celebrate V-Day, and at least got laid by one of them.. But I'm so fucking screwed I can't even buy a drink right now. For them. Or for me to cry my tears away. FML. [edit] V meaning Venereal. |
