the nice thing about budweiser is it's cheap (real cheap) and it works. we just completed a massive program-folding-and stapling effort for APAture and my hands are like jello. 1,000 booklets later, i'm beat, but ecstatic -- and proud -- we got it done. in true asian fashion, we toiled as Yum Yum House food (seriously tasty) stewed in Claire's kitchen, and every member of the team had a Bud to call their own. oh yeah, we watched the premiere of Enterprise, too. nice shower scene. many a joke flew over my head, and the trekkies (en masse) made fun of us non-trekkies.

"boy, those klingons sure are *gronk gronk fizash oodah* (mimicking klingon-ese)."

"ha ha! they could *gronk* some *oot oot grr tacks* that would calm 'em down!"

(laughter erupts. scott and david look at each other in bewiderment.)

for some reason, the combination of Mac OS 9 (or OS X) and IE5 prevents images from loading. other platform/browser combos don't seem to have this bug, but who knows. the only workaround i can muster is quit IE5 and start it up again. the solution is, how do you say, inelegant. (inside simpsons joke. sorry.)

the new guestbook is up. fire away! the old guestbook was -- how do i put this delicately -- butt ugly. certainly beneath you, the readers. this one is prettier and doesn't have ads to contend with. ads are bad. they make me sad.

funny though, people actually signed the old guestbook in scottyob's four-month absence. most notably, miss kristin. it's so wonderful, like finding money in your pocket you didn't know was there.

i'm DYING to get these rolls developed! my logic: amateur photography is most exciting right before the first roll goes in the envelope, followed by the most depressing part when you actually see the final prints and all the ways you (i, really) screwed up perfectly good shots. cross my fingers, there's bound to be at least three or four keepers...i'll keep you posted as we await the lomos with bated breath. god help anyone within my camera's range. i'm snapping off pics like a fool.

Trouble seems to follow Outlook Express (can anyone say I LOVE YOU?), so I’ve picked Eudora as my primary e-mail client. One of Eudora’s more interesting features is something called MoodWatch (aka Chili Peppers aka Whoops). In an effort to maintain dignity and composure in e-mail correspondence, the computer alerts you, the sender, whenever something possibly offensive is about to be sent. Some phrases are obvious, some are a little out there. Here today, I offer some examples of chili-inducing, inflammatory words guaranteed to get you flamed, fired, or both. They appeared in e-mails I either sent or received, and there's logical explanations for each and every one of them. I swear. To wit:

fuck
fuck off
fucks up
fucked up
fucking up
to fuck with
to fuck on
is fucking
fucked
fuckin’
fucking
am fucking
was fucking
what the fuck
shit
fucking goddamn shit
the shit
you do shit

porn
porno
gangbang
suck
sucks
licks
cock
cunts
boobs
prick

his tongue
your tongue
his ass
her ass
their ass

devil
horny
flamed
mass murder

i hate you
if you ever
i’ll kick
kill you
off you
are you trying to tell me...??

...I'm so naughty.
