I just got a toaster. Haven't had one in years. Also found out I'm probably allergic to wheat. Not sure how allergic yet. But I found these AWESOME waffles which are flavored with berries and they taste sooooooooo good. They are made with buckwheat instead of wheat. Apparently buckwheat...

I went to see A Perfect Circle last night. Usually, when people invite me to go to shows in big venues, I pass. But I'd seen Smashing Pumpkins at the same venue and the show was good, so I figured it would not hurt to venture away from the computer and I had a really good time once again. ...

I've lived in the American South, so California fireworks strike me as kinda pussy. On the other hand, I'm such a wuss myself that I've never personally set off anything but sparklers and those little caps you throw at the ground. Should there be limitations on what fireworks an individual can...

I used to go to a whole lot of shows every month. It seems like it is not as many now. I used to go to arena shows, but, once I'd seen a few really good shows in small rock clubs, I was sort of forever spoiled. A really good band in a small packed club of people who are into it is one of the...

There is a saying, "you can't make any new friends once you get your first real piece of furniture." It is certainly harder to really connect with people once you are out of school, but I hope the furniture thing is not true. Although I'm pretty furniture-challenged, so I'm probably okay.

I once got a B on a term paper I thought was damn good on the topic of therapeutic impact of self-mutilation. It was for an upper level seminar on abnormal psychology. Recently the topic has come up over and over again. I think some new service did a story on some "goth" girl who cut herself or...

Do you think someone who wants to kill him or herself should be stopped? If so, under what conditions?

Just watched one of those poker shows on TiVo. A construction worker from the Pacific NW won over $400,000. Anyone here play poker? Anyone here any good?

Do you think online blogging is a passing fad? People have kept some sort of diary since man started scratching on cave walls, but the character of online journals seems to have moved away from the usual intent of a journal and into a weird land that has an entirely different feel and I think does...

So apparently Howard Stern got his fines paid for him by Viacom and is back on the air in a number of areas. What do people think about it?

What payment methods do you like to use online when paying for auctions, site memberships, publications, clothing, toys, etc.?

Does everyone understand how to post the smilies? Which one is your favorite? Instructions are here

So, for our USA members, what are you doing for the Fourth of July?

You can get Kir Royales in a sports bar. Even if you look like me. Apparently I am also excellent at food trivia. I never played the food trivia machine before, but this cool guy Jessie I never met before invited me to play. Apparently I am excellent at knowing about weird food until it comes...

What is your favorite stuff to eat off the barbeque? Steak, baby back, spare ribs, hamburger, tofu patties, hot dogs, tofu dogs, corn on the cob, chicken wings . . .

So a total stranger just asked me to buy them a livejournal account. They intimated that they were using a spoofed untraceable IP and that I could have my studio firebombed or be personally assaulted if I didn't. What the hell is wrong with people? So far the IPs they have posted with are: ...

This is my 666th post :clapping: :beermug: :the_finge :coffee2: and my favorite evil emoticon :bath:

If you could only eat one food for a whole month, what would you choose? Let's make our own fad diets! PS I've been eating low carb for waaaaaaaaaaaaay longer than it has been in style. So there.

I've got work to do and I'm definitely not going out on the town. I'm thinking about delivery Indian or delivery Chinese or delivery Brazilian. I suppose it is also possible I could leave the house.

I just saw an episode of that show The Casino and they were shooting machine guns from helicopters. I gotta find out about doing that. I think I'd like it much. Do you like to go shooting?

I don't think this was always the case. In the early days of punk, I think Vivian Westwood and Johnny Rotten were both viewed as deserving creative people. But I swear if I had a nickel for every band that wants free work from everyone around them but wants to get paid for what they do . . ....

Szandora did a show with Thee Swank Bastards at The House of Brews and they'll be there again on the 11th and the 18th. Forrest and I came and hung out. We got to meet charming Jay Goldstein who is shooting a bunch of Szandora's performances and such for Szandora.com and who has the coolest cell...

Do you wear eyeshadow? If not, do you wear other eyemakeup? What colors, styles, and brands do you like for eye makeup?

Okay, I am going to take a bath and get some work done. I am signing off for the night. Be excellent to one another. Or I will start picking people to moderate when I am offline and they might not be as sweet as I am. ;)

Was just participating in a convo about this and was surprised and some of other people's answers. Do you feel sorry for people who commit suicide?

Do you tend to be early, on time for things, or late? Does it bother you when other people get some place earlier or later than you do?

Do people ever tell you you suck and then hit you up for a favor, acting like you have to do them the favor to disprove the notion that you suck? Does this ever work?

If you are one of the six or seven people who have not seen any of Jon Stewart's appearance on Crossfire, you should click here now. I think it is most entertaining that Jon Stewart is actually becoming an important voice in American politics. His lead-in show right now might be puppets making...

How do you feel about digital technology for photos and movies vs. traditional film technologies?

Do you think you could ever be driven into such a frenzy by someone that you just lost control and murdered them, because you were enraged and not because you planned to or wanted to?

I responded to corporategoth's creativity thread with my thoughts on the definition of art, but I am interested in other people's opinions. How do you define art?

Do you drink bottled water? What brands are your favorites? Perrier, Pelligrino, Evian, Tynant, Arrowhead, Dasani, Castiloga, Crystal Geyser, Fiji, Dannon, Naya, Sparkletts, Vittel, Apollinaris . . .

When the US Government first started putting fluoride in the water supply, many people feared a communist plot was behind it. That seems sort of quaint now, I think. Do you have any concerns about that being in the tap water? Do you think it is enough or not enough? Do you get supplemental...

If you say you will go to a party, how likely are you to go? I am planning my time in Vegas now and I know I'm probably getting set up for a bunch of parties I won't end up being able to attend. I would never skip meeting up with one person, but I often end up skipping meeting up with one...

Okay, the election dateline is special, but... I am apparently Azathoth Known as the "Blind Idiot God", the center of all cycles known as Azathoth is the great void itself, infinite creation and inescapable oblivion made one. The Great God is without ego, as it has been embodied in a seperate...

It seems like a lot of people take it as a given that everyone hates Fred Durst. But that is kind of ridiculous. I mean, someone must be buying his records, so obviously not everyone hates him all that much. I have no strong opinions on Fred Durst. I've never met him. I think I've been...

There are certain topics which old time etiquette manuals would suggest one not discuss. Personally I think not being able to talk about anything important is an unnecessary obstacle to figuring out how you feel about complex and difficult issues. I want to foster the open exchange of varied...

Everyone congratulate Kellie on her appearance this month gracing the pages of issue #51 of The Horse. Head down to your local newsstand to pick up a copy. http://www.blueblood.net/_post/thehorsecover51.jpg http://www.blueblood.net/_post/themillsarrowkellie.jpg

I had TiVo record it for me as part of my free month of HBO/Showtime and it was soooooooooo my kind of movie that I was sort of surprised I had only heard of it in passing before and never seen it.

Okay, everyone, in your fantasy wishlist, what features or functionality would you like to see added to this site, either in the forums or elsewhere? (Besides direct personal messages. Forrest knows that one.)

So funkatron and I were talking about comfort foods and it got me thinking I should ask everyone. What sorts of comfort foods do you enjoy best i.e. what do you like to eat to make yourself feel good? Chocolate, chicken soup, grits, ice cream, etc.? Specific brands or cooks i.e. Haagen Daz or...

Post a favorite pirate phrase or quote in this thread.

Once you have caught someone in a lie, how likely are you to believe other things they say?

Blue Blood got a press mention in a publication written in Hebrew. Anyone here fluent in written Hebrew?

I really want to call in sick for the next month. Or at least this week. And then I want a vacation. I've never been to Hawaii.

For American Independence Day, I finished up the last things for the launch of BlueBlood.com. Yeah, you all have been in the know about it for a while, but now it is all official and stuff. I also watched fireworks from the roof and ate hot dogs.

I really love beverages with ground up ice and ground up bananas. The liquid holding it together can be orange juice or pineapple juice or lactose free milk or yogurt, whatever, I just love the icy banana. (Fire up the double entendres.) I can't generally eat stuff which is that high carb, but that...

I'm going to post an actual feature about this later, but I just wanted to let everyone know that Blue Blood will once again this year be exhibiting in Booth #433 at the Comic Con sponsored by the nice folks from X-Sanguin. We'll be promoting the now officially launched BlueBlood.com megasite...

Has everyone here every played I Never? Have you played the drinking or non-drinking version? Got any tasty confessions?

I have a splitting headache and my ankle is just throbbing. I really hope some kind of storm is coming, as I'd hate for this much pain to be caused by something internal.
