Thinky thoughts re capitalizm

Thursday, January 5th, 2012

The problem with having had a sociopath for a CEO is that years after his departure, he’s still coming up behind you and snapping your mental bra strap. And further comment about how my day is going would be unwise, so I’ll just leave it there.

I loathe apple juice with a passion

Capitalizm’s finest ****ing hour

Oh Art & Science, give me strength!   http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-60734/Workers-baked-alive-bread-factory-horror.html

Jeff tries to get some tech support

Oh HP you suck.

John gets a parting shot

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

From his close friend and landpeer, the incomparable Juliana, comes an email I simply must share in its entirety: Allegra, as an anarchist I thought you would appreciate this.   In 2007, John took to me a movie to celebrate my birthday.  It was at University of Victoria, where he had a film membership.  He carefully [...]

Raccoon locomotion study

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

Uh, not exactly sure what to call this gait, but it’s remarkable. Remind me not to do business with these Bozos. Bizarre story from India. A little more backstory on the deep water drilling moratorium in the Gulf.

Chevy no va

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

What the hell is wrong with people?  Chevy is no longer an acceptable nickname for a product? Who writes this shiz? I went on a coffee date last night.  You know, you try to let guys know that you aren’t up for a booty call, and they just run away.  Not much of an advertisement [...]

Short thought on the Fraser Institute

Monday, May 31st, 2010

You know, if the Yellowstone supervolcano let go tomorrow, the first statement out of the Fraser Institute would be that the market will take care of the problem.

Sunday Sundries

Sunday, April 11th, 2010

I saw one of these in knife edge flight over Lake Ontario in the first month after I met Paul.  So you know, it was a long time ago. I saw this movie and loved it, I want to immediately see it again.  RIP. Saw the girls yesterday and agreed to buy Kat’s vehicle.  I [...]

And every word of it is true

I am Allegra Sloman, and I subscribe to this management decision. An extremely rare kitty photo for Jeff. Glenn Close has her genome mapped. Snails are gonna eat Florida.  Here’s a pic of and article about the critter in question. When is a species extinct?  You’d think it’s a dopey question, but apparently it is [...]

Maybe I just pick on Catholics because I’m escairt to pick on Muslims

But, Jeez Louise.

Ludicrous and unChristian

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

The Catholics in DC are convinced that teh gay sex is SO BAD that they don’t want to follow rules regarding discrimination against gay people.  Nobody is asking them to either marry or provide function space for gays and their marriages.   But that doesn’t stop them from being jerks.

I bailed on Microsoft when Vista came out

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Nothing that’s happened since has made me change my mind.

Before 7:15 this morning I had written out two songs

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

So now I can go about the domestic portion of my life with a clear conscience. Arr, maties, ’tis talk like a pirate day! Find and listen to Tom Smith’s song on the subject if you can. Check this out as well.
