It's funny when people stumble across BME and then get so freaked out that they feel the need to send me hatemail… It happens every time BME gets linked from some mainstream site — I forget sometimes that there are still people out there that are deeply upset when exposed to body modification (to say nothing of the trauma of Brokeback Mountain).

Charlie then browses the site for another three minutes before sending another message:

I like eating pussy
Yeah, ok Charlie, I get it — you're no “fag it”.
After eight more minutes of viewing:

After that Charlie kept sending messages for a while but they were blank; one nineteen minutes after the last one, and then another eight minutes after that. I presume that after that one, his head exploded and his ability to communicate was terminated.

I mentioned my wall of postcards a few days ago, and it got me a few more to add. I generally only add ones that have a location on the back because it's like a world map of BME readers (so while I appreciate all cards and letters, I only generally add the ones that have the location they were sent from on them)… But I like reading the little notes on the back so I was quite tickled at these little drawings:
Other than that we went to the park today.

These fat rodents didn't seem to mind the cold. |
The geese on the other hand? Not happy about it. |
Toward the Emerald City to see the wizard. |
Err, is that an angry sun and a forest fire? |
On the bridge. |
You may have noticed that the
BME (as in the main site) stability problems are getting worse (as I write this it's in a reboot cycle). Yeah, I'm not thrilled about it either… The new machine is being ordered today (since
the car was sold there's finally a little money), so some time next week the problem will be solved… Fingers crossed that it manages to stay mostly online until then — we'll try and mount the filesystem via NFS later today to keep it more stable.

Today was a lazy day spent building castles and towers out of blocks, doing a little image processing, writing for modblog (the biggest reason why I don't post here that much I suspect), and an assortment of little tasks including prepping a new article titled “What's so special about New Jersey?”
I also picked up some clay to start finally making the bucks* for BME's line of “modified dildos” — the first two products are a bisected and a subincised dildo… They're cast in multi-shore silicone and their goal is not to look realistic but to feel realistic. A little later I'm going to need dildo testers so if you feel you're qualified — I'm looking for people who enjoy using sex toys and are fairly aware of what's going on in their ass and/or genitals (I need both male and female testers) so they can give me useful feedback as to what works and what doesn't. There's no pay involved but you do get a bunch of neat custom sex toys that I hope you will enjoy.
Other than that, Rachel and Emrys are coming to visit soon, both of which I'm looking forward to quite a bit, although in very different ways that will be commented on here using very different sorts of innuendo. Finally, since it makes me very uncomfortable posting entries without pictures, here are a few old ones:

The vacation where I stopped by in Phoenix to visit Steve Haworth (August 2000 I think) was one of my favorite road trips… and the only one on which I shot anything in a .50cal.
|
Rachel has always been great with dimwitted animals, be they kittens or be they me… Here's a kitten she cared for not long after we met (I've got to find the photos of her feeding hot dogs to the raccoons that lived on our roof).

I've thought about making a shirt based on this photo of my old friend Dan (who is still doing fine here in Toronto) suspending about five years ago.

What better to fill it with than people I care about?

1: congratulations to Clive and Gillian!
And now on to my far less exciting day. We went and checked out some graverobbed corpses and people killed in Chinese prisons to amuse Germany with Eric and Andy (and then enjoyed some of their cuisine). Jordan is on his way over now and of course my sister is hanging out also.
Oh, and I finished the painting for Nefarious's room…. While I appreciate the very generous notes telling me how nice it is, honestly, if you think this (or most of what I do) is a painting that needs talent, then you need to pick up some paint and start throwing it at a canvas. Anyone can do it.
I like high gloss modelling gels

As I mentioned in my previous entry, Nefarious asked me to paint her something with an alligator in it for her room, so I worked on that today (breakfast took way too long to hit the park this morning). What you see here is just the undercoat; it's about 35% done as you see it here.
“Yeah, but you're both still reptiles”
I make no claims to be particularly talented — my theory of painting is draw something and then throw a ton of paint at it… Either way, hopefully that's art that's appreciated by three year olds? I don't want it to cause nightmares!
