Live Nudes

Live Nudes

The term Live Nudes confuses me. Do Xombie Nudes actually exist? Can’t one enjoy also Dead Nudes?
I’ve never seen a neon sign for Artistic Nudes, which is a shame; I’d definitely stop to see that.
Did you know the first Olympic Games were done in the nude? I wonder if the Greeks put Live Nude signs outside of their arenas and coliseums?
Mayhaps we should compromise and display signs for Live & Fully Clothed at, say, coffee houses, warehouse clubs and sporting events, to give context to the term Live Nudes. Just to be clear.

I love to swim in the nude and roam around the house in the nude. You’re just as free as a bird!
Quotation from Bettie Page

Full nakedness! All my joys are due to thee,
As souls unbodied, bodies unclothed must be,
To taste whole joys.
Poem by John Donne, To His Mistress Going to Bed

Ugly Hair Day

Ugly Hair Day

When you have an ugly hair day, conventional wisdom says to put your hair into a ponytail or wear a hair accessory. The other option is to wear an invisibility cloak.

Scientists at UC Berkeley have taken a major step toward making Harry Potter’s disguise of choice a reality. They’ve engineered two new materials — one using a fishnet of metal layers, the other using tiny silver wires — that neither absorb nor reflect light, causing it instead to bend backward.
Quotation from Time Magazine

I’m fine but you’re obviously having a bad hair day.
Quotation from Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992 movie)

Know Thyself

Know Thyself

Everyone thinks they know themselves. After all, we live in the back alleys of our minds smelling the same soup every day. But how self-aware are we really? Are we like my Uncle Clem who seems mindless that his house smells like dog urine? Do we get so used to ourselves that we can’t smell what is obvious to everyone else?

While Washington poured billions into propping up the banks and financial institutions that brought our economy to its knees, the Chinese spent their stimulus billions on an epic 19,000 miles of new railroad track. Nearly half of that total will go towards completing a web of more than 42 inter-province hyperspeed rail lines that will link almost every major city in the country. The fastest of the new trains travel at 229 miles per hour. So China comes out of the economic crisis with a rail system that will be the envy of the world.
Quotation from Graydon Carter, Wild on the Street, Vanity Fair

On Being Boiled Alive

On Being Boiled Alive

I’m trying to be sensible, but going to work after being told I am going to be laid off is weird. They want me to be committed, but how can you commit when you can’t trust your employer any longer? For another thing, I feel rejected, vulnerable and powerless. I’m being dumped. I want to get angry, but I can’t because I’m suddenly walking on thin ice. I want to grieve, but I can’t do that either. I have to go to work tomorrow; I’ll go to work until they tell me not to come in again.

Are you being given impossible jobs with no chance of success? This one is underhanded, which is why it’s so popular. The company may need a big reason to give you the boot, especially if you’ve done everything right and are the life and soul of your department. Enter the impossible task. “Ahh Wilkins, we need you to expand our new line of warm, alcohol-free beers to construction workers.”

Guardian Angels

Do you have a Guardian Angel?

If you want a clear and concise message from your angel, you must ask a direct question. Your angel will always answer your questions. You must ask your question out loud.
Quotation from Robert Graham

The universe will match your level of sincerity.
Another quotation from Robert Graham

My Fascination with Xombies

My Fascination with Xombies

Since Xombies are “born” mindless, one must assume their hunger for brains translates into a thirst for Knowledge; and that’s why Xombies will one day take over the world. They are unlike most Humans, who seem unwilling to learn– once they have already formed an opinion.

With the rest I dispense— I sever from what I thought would suffice me, for it does not— it is now empty and tasteless to me.
I heed knowledge, and the grandeur of The States, and the example of heroes, no more.
I am indifferent to my own songs—I will go with him I love.
It is to be enough for us that we are together— We never separate again.
Poem from Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass

Beware of the Conficker Worm

Beware of the Conficker Worm

Twelve million computers are estimated to be infected with the Conficker Worm. Once it’s on your computer, it disables antivirus software and opens it to further infection. And it’s set to ACTIVATE TODAY!

Conficker Worm: Hoax or Criminally Genius Scheme? (OSnews.com) “The most horrifying scheme of all is that it may be used to create what researchers call a “Dark Google,” a network of infected computers searchable for information at the whim of the criminal underground.”

According to tradition, people can pull pranks before noon today in the name of April Fools’ Day but become the fool if they do it in the afternoon.
Quotation from Australia’s largest-selling daily, the Herald Sun
