I like to read a murder mystery; I like to know the killer isn't me.

Random notes on a life:

Discussion about a thread on rasfc (all newsgroups are one newsgroup) about the mechanics of rape managed to wander off into an analysis of what in particular it is about roller coasters that induces physical arousal in me.

This conversation was interrupted in the grocery store when keshwyn called to ask us to get two cans of black beans. As we were standing right next to a Giant Display Of Canned Beans, this was fairly straightforward to handle.

Went to games night. Watched a couple of games, too. (I tend not to like playing games I haven't observed. Neophobia, y'know.) autumnesquirrel and I had a brief discussion about the theory that I look like Alice Cooper. I tested the Deranged Grin on her; it worked all right for the topic. I borrowed a spoon and made dip, because I craved sour cream. Mm, sour cream. I reserve the right to be Eastern European at least a quarter of the time.

teinedreugan: not cute. Thpbt. Even with the heights thing.

Discussion back was on the much more prosaic subject of whether or not the artistic school that I wanted to claim described the type of imagery in Erasure's "Am I Right?" is impressionistic. Art history is one of my anti-strong points.

Congratulations to wiredferret and silmarian on the birth of their son, Sebastian!

And once again you prove to me I'm not the only one.

The title of this post feels like a reference I really should get, and am not. Enlighten me ?

[ I'm already getting ready for Minicon. I may not have found that which I was looking for when I took the bedroom apart Tuesday night, but I did find my asterisk. And my super-ultra-legible Ploktacon badge. ]

It's a lyric from the Erasure song "Love to Hate You", which is on the same album as "Am I Right?" Hence its dubious relevance to at least some of the post content.

Do you experience it as a sort of . . . fluttery, tickly feeling? (That's wrong, it's too tenuous for adequate descriptor, but I can't get better language.)

Kevin just looks at me funny. . . .
