In keeping with our eugenics programme, zombiena took
some more of the Hatch mollies to the fish store for
fishbucks, trading all the roundtail females, all three
males who weren't doing anything...procreative, and
"that weird fish", leaving only the black and Dalmatian
females with lyretail tendencies.
She brought back, without spending an actual dollar,
a couple of algae eaters: a Siamese Algae Eater
(Crossocheilus siamensis) and a Otocinclus Cat / Dwarf
Sucking Catfish (Otocinclus affinis). She also brought
a gorgeous pair of Green Sailfin Lyretail Mollies, be-
cause she is a magpie.
After all *that* excitement (and I only joke a little;
I once pooped my pants as a kid because I was so ex-
cited about the new fish we were putting in the aquar-
ium), I took a nap for a couple of hours. When I woke
a while later, this is what I heard:
"So I'm naming the male fish [after you]. Because
he's running around the tank having sex with all the
females."
Indeed, this guy wasted no time, ignoring the female
with whom he arrived, and nuzzling his face into the
other females' cloacae, and swinging his prehensile
gonopodium to bear for quick and decisive intromission
before moving on to the next. He's the man.

"And I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free.
And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.
And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land God bless the U.S.A." (vid)
A friend of mine recently got Citizenship in the
United States of America after many years of res-
idency. That song played at her inculcation cere-
mony. I foolishly, foolishy suggested she have a
white trash party to celebrate her Americanization.
The "white trash" party became a more politically
correct "trailer trash" 4th of July party. Thus, a
day that will live in gothic infamy transpired.
I sacrificed my vanity and beard to the cause, ex-
posing my tender chin to the elements for the first
time in a decade (the last time was for an 80s party),
and went with a sleazy handlebar moustache. I added
a baseball cap and an old Ugly Kid Joe tshirt to the
ensemble, and brought a sixpack of pint-(American-)
sized cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon.
(zombiena wanted me to wear a bandana on my head
along with my Ugly Kid Joe tshirt, but I had to stop
her and remind her that this was a trailer trash
party, and not a what-zombie-wore-in-the-90s-party.)
zombiena and I ate tofu dogs and veggiechili, washed
down with Mojito-flavoured malt beverage coolers, and
later with watermelon soaked in Everclear. Incidentally,
I only got to drink one of my PBRs; apparently the
other five were quite a hit with the crowd.
The neighbours drove their vehicles onto the lawn,
and most everyone who attended the party looked
either downright repulsive or trashy. American
songs from Robert Johnson to Bon Jovi played on the
stereo, and everyone sang along and drank when God
Bless the U.S.A. made its random recurrences on
the playlist.
Of particular note was the host's black t-shirt, which
featured the Statue of Liberty riding an American-flag-
painted Harley Davidson, with the slogan "RIDE ON
FREEDOM" (Made in China of course). Also of note was
THE WORLD'S FIRST SELF-WAVING FLAG WITH
THREE PATRIOTIC SONGS, "because what's more
American than PUSHING A BUTTON TO WAVE THE
FLAG." Also, the host drank a KFC gravy and Wild
Turkey bourbon shot, because she...I don't know why
she swallowed that. Because she loves America?
I stayed way longer than I had planned, and I had
a great time from my spot ensonced on the couch.

Let them eat dragons!
This is the cake zombiena made for Chavez and me for
That Most Blessed of Days. It's got marzipan spines,
and it's a little melty from the car ride to Hatch's.
It was chocolate on the inside.
Usually, the cake is intended to have Fruit Roll-Up
wings, but zombiena wanted to go with a healthier fruit
leather alternative. Unfortunately, the fruit leather
was too thick to wrap around the toothpicks, so she and
I ate it in the kitchen while she was making the cake.

Happy Birthday to me.
El Día de Nuestros Cumpleaños was celebrated in
a laid back and communal manner this year, quite
unlike the epic expencive Medieval adventure of
last year. My buddy Chavez came to Austin with
his wife to celebrate Our Blessed Event, and we
spent Saturday with wretch, Doggieboy, and the
Hatchlings, ending the night with a few games of
Zombie Fluxx. zombiena made us a dragon cake
(pictures to follow), and we ate home-cooked tofu
a la king for dinner, then met back at the house
for brunch on Sunday, eating omelettes with garden
herbs and French toast casserole before Chavez,
wife, and puppy headed back to their home city.
Chavez and I also got the "Happy Birthday" song
sung to us in English and in Mandarin.
I received:
- Orgazmo
- a gift card to Barnes & Noble of an undisclosed amount
- a book called Lonely Werewolf Girl
- a black sake set decorated with fornicating skeletons
- a five year old's artful renditions of me and my cats
My mother sent me:
zombiena gave me a huge bundle of discs including:

*Finally* got the testicular fortitude to attend
another Wino Wednesday at Spec's, and even then,
I almost didn't think I'd make it. I did much bet-
ter this time, staminawise, rushing through 15
wine tastings in half an hour, but suddenly I was
hungry, sober, sweating, limping, and ready to
return home and recline.
Before leaving, though, I bought, in drunken frenzy:
- Herrgårdsost and the infamous and hard-to-procure Prima Donna cheeses
- Canadian Maudite ale
- Canadian Coffee Crisp and British Lion chocolate bars
- Two jars of D.L. Jardine's salsa, one Pomegranate, and one Mango Mariachi. I think the pomegranate one could almost be eaten on biscuits/scones.
- For dinner that night, a delectable brie and caramelised onion dip, and a salty salmon and Wisconsin cheddar quiche
- A Louis Martini Nappa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon2004, a wine we sampled and liked
Then I went home, collapsed in agony and exhaustion,
and laid awake all night, unable to fall asleep until
about 930am.
Sometime in the last four years or so, the Soup Peddler
expanded his operations and his empire (using, now,
dedicated facilities, other people, and a delivery
van instead of just borrowed kitchen space, himself,
and his bike), and his prices got more reasonable. In
an effort to help alleviate some of zombiena's burden
of making healthy meals for us all of the time, which
often keeps her in the kitchen at least 4 hours of the
week just making soups, I have started ordering from
them. I am quite pleased so far. I've really enjoyed
the veggie enchilada casserole; an Armenian apricot,
lentil, and carrot soup that was sort of a life-saver
during the great AC outage of nought-eight; a rich and
reeking tomato ginger soup, a hearty samosa pie, and
some absolutely heavenly brownies with chai icing.
All the foods feel pretty light and healthy, while being
satisfying. I hope to have a long and lasting relation-
ship with this company.

With no notice whatsoever, TimeWarner/RoadRunner
has discontinued my newsgroups services. I had
thought they'd at least give a month's notice.
At their help page, they give the reason as, "Due
to low subscriber usage". No mention whatsoever of
their collaboration with government officials to
help protect us all from the ubiquitous threat of
child porn (as linked in my post of 17 June). Looks
like they've got almost 800 people who rated that
FAQ page as not helpful.
If I'd been more awake/braincapable over the last
couple of weeks, I'd have already made the switch
to Grande.
True, I don't use USENET for any *legitimate* pur-
pose. I haven't even used it to incite girls to
squabbling over my turgid membranes in over ten
years. But I don't want to pay an entity *the same
amount* in return for a suddenly lower level of
service. Nor do I wish to do business with an en-
tity who won't even give me a month's notice re-
garding said lowering of service.
This just kind of sucks because I only *recently*,
after a few years, got TimeWarner to come look at
my connexion issues and give me a new cablemodem.
I'm not looking forward to going through that crap
again.

After some burning, splitting, itching problems of the
past week, and rationing an expired tube of magical ass
cream during that time, I had my first eruption of anal
stigmata in a couple of years. I went to the doctor, be-
cause his people told me I had to come in person since
they'd not seen me in over a year.
The doctor didn't ask I how I'm doing; he stopped doing
that a while back. But he filled my prescription, and
that's why I pay him (even if the bastard won't give me
lovely, lovely Soma). Unfortunately, my insurance does
not cover this stuff, so I am unprotected from Jesus
being all up inside me for at least another day while I
try to find something generic.
I also got him to remove a "skin tag" that's been stead-
ily growing larger on my hip since this whole ordeal be-
gan. Now it stings, but I am smoother than I once was,
and that is what matters. If only he could surgically
remove all my bodyhair.
On the lighter side of things, I apparently weigh 10 pounds
less than I did a year ago. 216. Also, I don't think my
blood pressure has been this low since 2003, although it's
by no means as good as it got back then. 118/88. And this
was *with* the surging heart rate I got as soon as I saw
the doctor's office from the parking lot. (In fact, I'm
going to have to call and double-check this; I can't
*believe* it's that much lower, as it was 142/92 just a
year ago.)
Now if only I could find a cause for the numbness I've
been feeling in my legs and arms all week...

Home again. Cool air flowing. Hurrah for Home Shield
reducing a $500 part and two service calls to a $55
dollar flat fee.
Thanks very much to the friends who offered cool haven,
fraternity, and feeding.
I didn't sleep much. Strange places and snarling cats
at 5am tend to have that effect. Add to that my natural
insomnia, which I counted as a *blessing* for many
years, meaning I got more *done*, but could *now* be
counted as a sleep disorder, I guess, when every minute
under 7 hours is an incremental increase in pain.
I can't imagine what torture it must be to be a guy,
not unlike Santa Claus delivering presents to children,
who goes around repairing other people's air condition-
ing, all the while spending your time outside or in
attics or in garages sweating your balls off in swelter-
ing summer air.
Happy Equinox.

One of the several issues with Netflix is that my tele-
vision watching occurs six months or more behind the
rest of the television watching world. And that's only
if I *remember* to search for the show six months after
it's aired, and to add it to my queue -- provided I have
space in my queue -- and manage to see it the moment it
is released on DVD.
So I finally remembered that I had wanted to watch Texas
Ranch House a year ago. I just finished both discs. I was
pretty disappointed. Of all the PBS "House" series I've
seen, this one taught me the least factual information.
Instead of being an exploration of historical recreation,
it instead mostly dealt with human drama of Survivoresque
proportions. I know that's what most people want, and I
know that's what the makers of the series think is the
actual focus of the programme (putting 21st century people
into historical environments), but it's not what I want.
I don't need reminders of the retarded human condition.
What I want to see is something that makes me learn. That
was the reason for PBS decades ago, anyway.
Then again, maybe this show, along with Frontier House,
and Colonial House (and probably Manor House, which is
next on my list) is a good reminder that people given a
little bit of advantage over the other people around
them will *always* abuse that power.
Dragon Wars sucked about as much as America's 1998 God-
zilla, except that it was made a decade later and had
worse actors. D-War, as it is sometimes called, centred
around an ancient Korean legend, and was made by an ap-
parently extremely patriotic Korean man using American
actors and set in America. (This is the way of the future,
just like how America used to make movies from ground-up
Canadians.) The plot was largely nonexistent and full of
inexplicable or improbable holes. The acting was awful,
in a way strangely reminiscent of Asian cinema. The ed-
iting was terrible, like they'd filmed three sort of
vaguely related movies and cut-n-pasted chunks of them
into one ridiculous movie called Dragon Wars. The CGI
wasn't all that great, either, and the physics were
as bad as they get in CGI, but if you like seeing dragons
fighting helicopters, and have watched Reign of Fire until
you can actually believe that *is* Matthew McConaughey on
the screen, then maybe you could take a break with Dragon
Wars.
I will admit that there are a *couple* of cool scenes,
but don't watch this movie without a room full of people
and maybe some mind-altering substances. Also, the main
dragon? Not a dragon. He's a serpent who's trying to get
his wings.
Speaking of movies that need a room full of people, I
watched The Machine Girl (YouTube trailer) this weekend.
Luckily, I had a room full of people, so I enjoyed it.
It wasn't as good as Versus, but it was in a similar
vein, only with a lower budget and what seemed like a
lot of highschool and college students (though who can
accurately guess the age of a lot of Japanese women,
really?) The gore was amazing (and low budget), and I
could not help but think of the many GWAR shows I've
attended. There were several continuity flaws, too.
There were lots of inexplicable character choices and
plot holes. There were ninja and yakuza and at least
one Asian girl in a short skirt. The movie vacillated
wildly between comedy and drama and adventure. But I
really quite enjoyed watching it.

La Vie en Rose/La Môme was really disappointing.
Again, perhaps it was because I have no emotional
connexion to the music, as I'd never heard of Édith
Piaf before the Oscars.
However, when I watch a "biopic", I expect to learn a
little something about the subject of the film, and to
perhaps learn a little something about the events that
took place around their life.
This movie did none of that for me.
It jumped back and forth in time so often, rarely
introducing supporting characters, that zombiena and
I spent a lot of time discussing what was happening,
and when, and with whom, instead of paying attention
to the movie.
Marion Cotillard's portrayal of Piaf across time was
amazing, and the makeup work was incredible, but the
director utterly failed to keep me interested in the
movie, to lead me through the life of Édith Piaf, or
to teach me anything about the singer.
One of the most annoying things about the movie was
the lack of subtitled songs. There were minutes at a
time of Piaf singing, or her songs playing over other
scenes, where I had no clue what was being sung. Due to
my small knowledge of French, I *believe* that a lot of
the songs resonated with the scenes during which they
played or sang them, but that's really just a guess on
my part.
The final failure of this movie was that they entirely
skipped Piaf's career and work during WWII in Nazi-
occupied France, and spent about two minutes at the
end of the movie on the death of Piaf's child (taking
away attention from Piaf's death scene and making me
wonder if these were true events or hallucinations),
which I would *guess* would have had a much bigger
impact on her life than those couple of minutes im-
plied.
I don't recommend this movie to anyone who wants to
learn about the life of the songstress or the time
period, but it *might* stir you to read more about
her life if you manage to make it through this long
and unfocused movie still giving a shit about the
real woman. Other than that, La Môme is worth watch-
ing for Cotillard's ability, and for the music.

Sunshine, despite the bad, action-oriented trailers,
was overall a pretty decent movie, of the sort I've
come to expect from Danny Boyle. I had some issues
with plausibility, personalities, science, and the
crew's chain of command, though. The end got a little
freaky and artsy, but I suspect some of that was an
homage to The Black Hole, what with time and space
distorting that close to the Sun. I like the fact that
only the essentials of the story were revealed, and
the audience was spared a lot of exposition and un-
necessary Earth-based montages. Overall, I think the
movie handled the immensity of Space, and the pyscho-
logical impact of isolation and longterm space travel
pretty well. The horror element, while not too probable
to my mind, was also pretty good. The special effects
were beautiful and understated. My biggest beef was
probably that most of the actors didn't really strike
me as astronauts; they all seemed a bit too brooding
and undisciplined. But who knows how anyone would react
on a risky mission after 16 months of being in a tin
can, after several years of living on a frosty planet?
If nothing else, Cillian Murphy apparently converted
from agnosticism to atheism due to studying some physics
for the movie.
I watched What's Eating Gilbert Grape? for the first
time ever. Overall, it was a fantastic movie, although
I didn't find much about it uplifting or worth watching
again. The only time I felt the movie fell short was
when Juliette Lewis was on the screen. I'll never under-
stand what some people see in her, but at times I felt
like she was the retarded bridge to DiCaprio's charac-
ter. Around the time I was 19 or so, I once saw a two-
page diagram in one of my girlfriend's girlie magazines
detailing every guy in Hollywood whom Lewis had fucked
or dated. It took *two* pages! I'll never understand.
For the record, Gilbert Grape is another movie filmed
near Austin.
For the past several years, I felt like the Grapes'
mother, too ashamed of my bulk to want to be seen out-
side the house.
I expected a supernatural gorefest from Stuart Gordon's
King of the Ants, but instead I got a low-budget psycho-
thriller that was pretty good. I think with a better
budget and better dialogue, the movie would have been
something outstanding. Some of the acting felt fairly
amateurish, but the lead character did an excellent
job of being a likeable, every-day kind of psychopath,
and the gore and violence was of course well done,
though understated for Stuart Gordon. Notable actors
in the film are Norm from Cheers and Wez from The
Road Warrior.

A while back, zombiena got a cat tree via Craigslist
for $10. It sat in quarantine in the garage for a while,
then zombiena re-carpted the bits that were torn, and
vaccuumed it. The cats all three seemed to immediately
know it was theirs, and for scratching.
Delirium & Dream settle in the same space of the tree.
This is a rare occurence, and did not last too long.
( All three kitties and a junebug behind the cut! )
I was glad I was watching Leeloo this afternoon. She
was playing with the laundry hamper, which is a collapse-
able mesh affair with soft, fabric handles. She actually
got one of the handles wrapped around her neck and was
jumping back and forth, caught. I grabbed her, held her
down, and pulled the strap off her, and she promptly ran
and hid from me. Of course, about five minutes later, she
was diving through the strap again, and pawing at Delirium
with the strap pressed against her throat. *sigh* I cut
the straps. Looks like it's time to buy a plastic hamper.
We've heard no more from the black kitten on the patio.
The night I took that picture, zombro scaled the wall
and left some wet food in a dish on the deck, then
left to go camping for the weekend. There's no more to
report.
We're guessing/hoping the mother moved the kitten due
