We finally got our DSL from verizon today. Got us a fancy-pants DSL modem/wireless access point. That’s aboutall I have to say. I am giddy. Ok, bye.

I seem to be the only one posting off-colour things on the blog, but I overheard this in conversation…

There’s a ladder of attractiveness…
from the bottom
1) repulsive
2) normal
3) huggably cute
4) kissably sweet
5) ****ably sexy (you know what the stars stand for)
6) lickably hot

ie, so much so that you’re more concerned about the other person’s pleasure than you are you own.

Ok, so don’t read the previous post if you’re easily offended.

I’m back to posting/linking to a NYTimes column… this once is quality. the first part funny, and the last bit about Carter is surprisingly insightful. anyway, it’s here, and i’ll throw it all into a comment too.
