No time for a big post, so here are a few diversions.
Choose your life. I’ll warn you up front, it’s not going to be good.
From the same source, Become Republican. Yes, it’s tounge-in-cheek.
How to make pop-art portraits. This is #237 on my list of things to do, but it is on the list.
Exactitudes. I’ve been stumbling across this page for years so you’ve probably already seen it, but it always seems to merit another look.
On a personal note I quit smoking a little earlier than my plan called for, so I am now on day 7. It is easier than attempts in the past but still, at times, pretty damn unpleasant. I am prepared for that, and just keep reminding myself that it’s also pretty unpleasant to spend $200 a month on a habit that, at best, makes you weak and smelly.
