15 Cataloguing Oddities

Tonight I'm cataloguing oddities, including some of my comics. I realise that I have neither listened to nor read any J Kochalka since moving to San Diego, and also how incredibly wrong that is. Monkey v. Robot, for example, should be read as frequently as possible.

I don't have the audio CD for it, unfortunately. I should find some aminal and machine noises online and put together a reading companion: think Bj�rk's mind-melting [selmasongs] with industrial noises mixed with monkey cries. Maybe howler monkeys and birds?

I watched the first episode of this season's [enterprise]. If possible, our little Vulcan chiquita has become even more droolworthy than ever. I honestly think she is a sex object to me in the way almost no one else is. There are those whom I really wish I could date, but rarely if ever does a character make me get shiny-eyed and flushed.

I can think of another fictional moment that does that, and it's the explicit, raw, brutal sex scene between the two women protagonists of the film noir makeover [bound] that is the staple of every dyke's film library.

But that's only one scene. Our little Vulcan is one once a week with a new episode and even a new pink velour uniform can't slow down her unmitigated sex appeal.

Honestly, she shows her belly and it's the only public persona's belly that makes me groan and slide under the table. I see bellies all over the place and she's got the only one that does it for me like that. The rest ain't bad, they just don't trip the trigger.

I always did like the nerdy types. Think of my Tara crush - stuttering, nervous, with a well-wrapped body to cover nearly every inch of skin, but you know she's a love machine underneath. Think of poor Oz: "Do... do you know you smell like Willow? She's all OVER you!"

Yes, it is late at night. Yes, I need to go to bed. Just got to finish updating the books I imported first so it's all fresh in the morning.

Also I just gutted my friend's iMac G4 tonight. He hasn't reinstalled the software in years and is almost elderly, meaning that he has made it into a gigantic mess. I was overwhelmed with actual pleasure to burn a CD of his Word files and mail and then wipe the drive clean, set up a partition for future use as a storage space for files separate from the OS, and then to install OS X.

He has difficulty seeing and OSX is clean, smooth, sweet, and a thousand times more legible and user-friendly for him, especially since it has great support for the disabled. I might have to go back and install the 'Classic' mode, though; I think he needs it available to use his burner.

He won't be back for a week, so I've got time to fool around, update his software, firewire some freeware programs I've got in my partitioned backup over to him, tweak it all into shape just perfect for him. I have also fixed the complete disaster that was his OS by deleting and reformatting the hard drive; now it works just fine, just like it was supposed to.

Can't wait to work on it; I like having projects.

I need to investigate information management systems because I'm working on a database of Buddhist scholars and schools so I can keep flashcards and learn them. It's hard to keep the teachers in your head; I'll have the information I find all in one place, indexed using the TBRC system, for printing for resource and studying information, everything from texts to places to famous personages and their antecessors and predecessors.

Lineage data is hard to keep connected to teachers; they are not usually discussed in the same sources, making learning this stuff hard. I do want to go to school one day!
