Happy New Year's everyone! I will be forgoing the bottled table service to play mah jong. I just learned! It's crazy fun and I like saying stuff like PONG whenever I slap down tiles. Here's to a fat huge enormous gigantic laden (chock full

Ah. Texas. Sweet Texas. And Houston. Sweet Houston. My hometown. For shits and giggles, read this CNN story. It's just been picked up by the national media but locally it's been on air for a while. A local man decides to have pig races and a

I don't get the whole brouhaha about Saddam Hussein's verdict and impending execution. I take that back. I don't get the decision behind all these pronouncements that the dude's gonna kick it. First it was oooh, he's guilty. Then it

Did anyone participate in the Orgasm for Peace on December 22nd? I didn't (I was at home with the parents, no hanky panky here.) But I'm interested to see how the results play out!

New clothes. Total overhaul. Why? 'Before I was sort of the alt-yuppie, except my stuff was done on the cheap. Maybe I'll go for full yuppie-flava or something different (Bay area geek? Northwest outdoors?). Ink and I had a recent conversation where we agreed that we in

News & Politics
Woohoo -- I come home to Texas and guess what is the big news on TV? A serial rapist of young men is on the loose in Houston. Makes me wish I was still on the road. Third world countries are so much safer. Interesting stat: 1 in 33 men

The MPAA strikes again. I get most of my guitar tabs from http://www.guitartabs.cc. And guess what? They've had to pull their collection down because the MPAA is using their lawyers to scare the site into submission. Copyright infringement indeed. When was it illegal to share

AUUUUUGH! I hate film. Dad said he knew a good place for film processing nearby. I told him, "Look, use Ritz Camera." He says, "No, that's too far -- I know a great place." Ok, Dad, here ya go. Six months worth of pictures.
Travels
I am seriously f.r.e.a.k.i.n.g out in Texas surburbia. Really. Cut lawns. Christmas lights. Gated communities. MALLS. The whole shebang. Fish. You're out of the water.

I'm going crazy (in a good way). Back in Istanbul and it's gorgeous here in December. All the lights are out.. really cool cause with all the old castles and mosques and acqueducts here, the lights (different colors, mind you) really make an impression. Kind of
