Die Telemarketer Scum, Or Just Don't Call Me Anymore
From Jay comes an excellent spot for Californians to get an early stop call order in, Do Not Call Pre-Registration. From the email "Attorney General Bill Lockyer announced Monday that Californians can begin to pre-register their home and cell phone numbers on a 'do not
call' list. The list will feed into a national, no-cost registry that takes effect in October." Sure, you could wait until October to register but then you'll get a seat way in the back where the gangstas are.

An Old New Word
Erika was cleaning her hard drive at work and wanted to make sure I'd gotten three words she'd come up with before they were defragged into oblivion. Two were already in the Intellectual Poison New Word Hall of Fame already, psychopornolistic and fortituous. But one is new, circumlick - During foreplay the act of licking around the perimeter of your partner's genitals before going in for the kill.

A side note to Erika's new word. I got one of those random calls from someone you've not heard from in x number of years or, in this case, xx number of years. One of the first pals I made when I moved to Tempe, Arizona waaaaay back in 1989. It was cool to hear her voice, still as distinctive as ever, and to hear that she's doing well. It was also great to hear updates on some of my other friends from back then who I've also lost touch with. Erika had been my sole contact with that period of my life. Now it would appear that I'll have access to maybe some more.

The Ominous Post from Sunday Morning
No resolutions, no updates today. I got up, went to work, found out there was no chance of any work being done until our office had been moved, no chance of anything happening really. I came back home for a few hours until Brian was going to call me. I opted to end up taking the day off as my body has been breaking down on several levels lately due to the high stress. My eyes are a wreck right now, sunlight is a dagger into my optical nerve center, my shoulders are bunched up tight, my insides are roiling with moments of terrible upset. I needed a day off to recuperate. And plan.
