Seems Ran got mad at my posts about my feelings toward homosexuals.

He must really, really hate me...

Poor guy. *snerk*

You know, if you have a problem with what I say, you're not at all forced to come here... but since I know people just don't seem to understand that, if you have a problem with what I say, and you keep coming back to read anyway, I'll be happy to help you not come back. (In fact, I already have a healthy list of people I'm actively banning from my blog.)

Keeping things civilized really helps. Cursing your mouth off at me isn't civilized, kthxbye.

Latest Stargate SG-1...

Reminds me of earlier seasons that kept you glued to the seats.

This one was... wow. "Emotional" doesn't do justice.

Once again, as seen on Slashdot, someone posted an article about some funky wasp (beware: Slashdotted server) that turns cockroaches into zombies, so they can be used for food for their young. Of course, everyone's going "wow! what an evolutionary achievement! how many evolutionary failures must there have been before the first momma wasp hit those particular neurons?" and I'm like....... "uh, what? that's just rediculous"

Apparently, people use parastites as a base to prove evolution, for some odd reason. The prevalent phrase they use is "how could such a wuving god ever cweate so much suffering?" It just shows their ignorance.

God didn't create them that way to begin with, sillies. Way back (you know, only 6000 years) when He created the universe, everything was... well... literally perfect. No death, unnatural or otherwise. (Including parasitical.) Some even casually think that some, if not all, animals talked. Eve sure didn't seem freaked out when a (then-legged) snake started trying to convince her to eat off that tree. But that's another topic...

The point is, the universe was perfect. Up until the point where human-kind sinned. Then everything pretty much completely and totally changed. Death was introduced into the world as a punishment for that sin, along with various other punishments that are obviously still around today.

Since there was no death before, being carnivorous was impossible. The only way to eat meat was to kill something! Everything was designed to live off plants. Heck, they even say the roots of the T-Rex's teeth were too shallow to eat anything BUT plants. So think "gigantic giraffe with scales". Mosquitos probably drank fruit juice, too. Bees still eat nectar, so I think it's safe to say that wasps did, too.

So there you go. ...and some people say that scientists aren't prejudiced. Seems they study things with the sole purpose of trying to see how it can fit into their preconceived ideas. Pssh.

Okay, so I was bored and decided to play with the camera again. I'm getting more and more of a hang of it! My first photos turned how horrifically blurry and overall messed up. But I've started to be able to read and understand shutter speed and aperture size, so my pictures are looking more and more competent, hah.

It's snowing right now... thank goodness for heaters.

...the aforementioned heater! My grandma (the one who passed away) gave it to me.
I latch onto any gift that anyone gives me, even if it's just a rock.

Pong! Awesome. Nintendo awesome, too.

My beautiful lappy, named Teyla. Screen's kinda blurry and I dunno how to fix.

I learned yesterday, while editing a CSS file, that IE doesn't treat commented lines as... comments. It blasts right through a double-slash comment and obeys whatever's behind it. Not sure how it treats the standard star-slash/slash-star (or whatever), but now at least I know the cause of some weird anomalies when I'm testing the layout in flawless Firefox or braindead Internet Explorer.

We got a new digital camera to replace Mom's broken 35mm. I should post pictures sometime... Nobody's used it for real photos, yet, and we're trying to figure out if it's best/cheaper to send the memory card off like a roll of film, or going to someplace like Walmart and either letting them handle it, or use one of them kiosk dealies. Anyway, it's an Olympus Stylus 800... veeeery niiiifty.

...and I'm sick. I was planning on having a fun-filled weekend helping my friend move in to his new house in Kentucky, and stopping by Fry's Electronics on the way, and attending a LAN party the day after, but noooo... we all had to get sick. It ain't some nice little cold that makes you feel icky enough to get out of work, it's a really bad one that makes you hurt all the time.

...and did you know the Russian Stock Exchange crashed because of a computer virus? Heheh, that's amusing. That'll teach them to have a proving-grounds test-machine attached to the internet AND the real RSE network. Can you say "duh"?

...and if I hear one more "In Soviet Russia" joke, I'm gonna break something!! Seriously you guys, the joke's not funny anymore. Same with "I for one welcome our new *random descriptive word* overlords", and the four-point Profit!! list:

1. Do this.
2. Do that.
3. ???
4. Profit!!!

Nope, not funny anymore. So stop using it. You don't sound cool using over-used buzz words. (Or phrases?)

Oh! I finally got the replacement headphones parts from Sennheiser! Happy-happy... no more stupid earbuds.
