“pornography/prostitution and the left”

Monday, November 29th, 2004

I recently was forwarded this fascinating essay by Stan Goff. it connected a lot of things for me, and i’m still planning to reread it some more to try and squeeze every last drop of insight out of it. i think it’s got a lot of incredibly interesting stuff in it on a [...]

custom tattoo ideas

Friday, November 26th, 2004

i’ve been pondering tattoo ideas lately. originally i was just gonna get a little red-and-black star, probably with some japanese characters for “anarchist” or “empathy” overlaid…but i’m unsure of the quality and translation. i’m pretty sure i’ve got the right translation for anarchist, because it’s a historical term i’ve read about. but [...]

“crank”iness & ramblings

Thursday, November 25th, 2004

getting quite annoyed at my bike. the left crank arm (that attaches the pedal to the axle) keeps working itself loose. it started several weeks ago, but i used to be able to tighten it up and it’d be fine for a while. Now i barely get 1 km before i have [...]

red food

Wednesday, November 24th, 2004

I’m feeling pretty curious about food colours today. i’m thinking about making a bright meal, with at least bright red and bright green in it. the source of this is all the red food i’ve been eating lately. yesterday i had some delicious borscht and some merlot wine, and i realized this [...]

By facilitating so-called “Free-Trade”, it helps rich countries (which just so happen [...]

Friday, November 19th, 2004

i’ve been doing some thinking about my job lately…there are various annoying aspects of it, but i’m thinking more and more that i should try to keep it a while longer. Earlier this week i was pretty convinced that i should quit at the end of the year, but now i think i’m gonna [...]

thoughts on the Red Green movie

Wednesday, November 17th, 2004

i watched a movie last night called “Duct Tape Forever”, which is the Red Green movie. Basically, it’s a movie about a bunch of men who spend their time in a men’s club talking about cars, fixing things, and doing other manly things. the plot is just an excuse to make all the [...]

fuckin mondays

Monday, November 15th, 2004

what is it with mondays lately? i just got an email from the sales guy that works from Connecticut, and it’s entitled “pictures you’ll never see on the news”….but they’re all from AP and Reuters. it’s a bunch of pictures of soldiers being all nice and happy; i’ve posted one here.
fuck. it [...]

Tuesday, November 9th, 2004

i finally got a few minutes last night to fix up my site a bit. for some time now, i’ve wanted to make this WordPress blog software have one category that would signal which articles go on the front page. i tried various small hacks, but they did messed up things like ignoring [...]
