#6223 50 icons! Pellucidar. City of Dead girls

26.1-80.1
Um, holy cow, I now have 50 images available as icons. I can’t even think of what to use them all for. Maybe every “current mood?” as it stands, I think I’ve resent every icon I’ve *ever* used for more than 2 entries back into storage now.

Very cool that they mentioned Pellucidar on the Tarzan cartoon tonight. Someone has been doing genre homework. (At the Earth’s Core is where I cribbed most of my info for Doc Firestone and the Gusano)


Ciudad Juarez is known as ‘the city of the dead girls’. In 10 years almost 400 women have been murdered in this city on the border between Mexico and El Paso, Texas, and the killings continue. Now a courageous Mexican-American journalist is alleging a group of six businessmen is behind the slaughter. Described as ‘untouchables’, their wealth puts them above the law. Their motive is said to be blood sport. Continue reading #6223 50 icons! Pellucidar. City of Dead girls

They brought a 3-step commode over today.. um.. I’m using the regular john, just fine, and you’re only a week late, guys. I accepted it, but am not sure about where I’ll put the thing.

Hair-nurse still hasn’t arrived, was supposed to come by this morning.

I swear, this insurance company will deliver a coffin a month after a scheduled burial… It’s all been too little, too late. Liberty Mutual, I weep for your clients. I cannot advise strongly enough about leaving that group, if they’re your provider.

I’ve been getting calls today from a “Sapphire Group” in Tampa that found my resume (from February-ish) and is wanting to interview me. Very interesting. I’ll talk with them on the phone more later, out of courtesy, but I suspect odds to be slim on my wanting to head up there right now. It’d take a really powerful offer to lure me from ACIM and Ft Laud… plus, I’m still in mending mode.


Blotter Acid Art


Two Zombies Later – Strange and Unusual Music form the Exotica Mailing list Very cool stuff. I’m going to grab it all. Bongo Avenger is pretty darn groovy. (CD 1, Track 2)


Eye placement in 500 years of portraits.


Time Tales –is a collection of found photographs. found at flea-markets, thrift-shops, some are scooped up from streets and alleyways, fallen from an overstuffed bag or torn pocket. others turn up in a cabinet’s hidden compartment, found while wandering the rooms of an abandoned house. now the photos exist by themselves, lost in time. time tales does not want to reveal their mysteries. time tales asks to be the new home for lost photos, a resting place, for the nameless and the lost.


Lombergar – Some very good, bizarre digital art.


Ambient Orb slowly transitions between thousands of colors to show changes in the weather, the health of your stock portfolio, or if your boss or kid is on instant messenger FAQ


Bitrex! The Bitterest substance known. “The first use of Bitrex simply as a taste aversive was in a cream to prevent tail-biting in pigs.”


Nicole Tran Ba Vang – pseudo-skin art, nsfw, but very interesting. nomi‘s icon is this one. (check out her latest travelogue!)

Finally got a good night’s rest…In conjunction with a 2 hour power nap midday.

Wowie Zowie! Permanent Accounts have 20 icons, now! (and paid accounts can also buy up to 20 for $10 a year.. seems steep, but I know a lot of people that’ll go for it.) Why, I remember, back in the day,when people had no icons and by cracky, they liked it just fine! The addition of userpics was a good idea, though. I’m itchin’ to know what the up-and-coming fun stuff is, too. (I really don’t use more than four or five icons, generally, but it’s nice to have the option for variety. I didn’t have a user icon for about a month or two into having my journal.

Apparently rumor has it that audio posts are coming soon.

Weird. I wonder why they changed my LJ clustermap‘s colors.. and why the color borders are wrong on some parts. I suspect the parsing of friend’s lists is off. I do like that the search feature is active, now. I can look at the City of Baghdad, for example, and spot journals to peek at there. (I’m really not interested in the “questionnaire search” but I could see where it’d be handy to locate like-minded people to gather in meatspace.


Trans-gender star trek spider-man is just wrong, but a bunch of guys dressed up as AIM agents is dang cool.


Meow Memory, the kitten Memory Game.


Cool Mathematical Sculptures.
