Okay, so, yay…it’s the New Year. It’s 2003 now.
I’m thinking about moving the site to its own domain. I should have done
this a long time ago but keeping up with that crap is just a pain in the
ass. The site is so small, it hardly justifies its own domain—unless I start
putting up a lot of pictures…or a blog. I could do that. Maybe I’ll
do a domain. I can get hosting for $12 a year. That would work. Misanthropic Bitch got her
own domain. But I really don’t have that kind of following.
Thinking about putting up a CafePress store. Maybe some T-shirts with clever
little witticisms like:
“People like you let cheaters win”
“You will not impede my progress”
“Your SUV supports more terrorism than my bong”
Or maybe I should do bumper stickers. I’ve been talking about doing that.
I should do that.
I’ve also been considering some sort of diary thingie—maybe a blog. After
reading over some of the blogs out there, though…it seams no one needs that
much whining. I mean, I’m terrible at keeping a diary. I’ve been trying
with these little calendar/diary things—you know, the kind that devotes an
inch by four-inch space to whatever is supposed to happen that day. I find
I’ve been using it for notes.
Case in point:

Mansfield Nuthouse Grill. Home of the BAD BOY BURGER.
Was that a plan to go there? Did we go there? What’s so special about that
burger?

“Affordances”. Donald Norman The Design of Everyday Things
Was I supposed to read this book? Why is the concept of “affordances” important?

All hail seaweed. Praise the meat.
I mean, what the fuck does that even mean?
It would appear I’m just using the diary for a fun place to keep definitions.

Anakastic. Reality becomes obsession
Putsch. Sudden attempt to overthrow
Pedagogy. Art and profession of teaching
Primogeniture. The tradition that first born gets everything
This makes me wonder what I was reading at the time. Something on philosophy?
Some history thing? Huh?

Uxorious. Unduly fond or submissive to one’s wife
Not sure where I found that or even how it came up. I think I was reading
The Trouble with Litchien at the time.

Phlogiston. Active principle of fire. Must be present in a substance for
it to burn.
And what’s really great, and I only now found this out, is phlogiston
is actually in the Microsoft Word dictionary. I mean, I didn’t add it
and it’s not appearing with a red line underneath.

Prosopagnosia. Face blind
Looks like something I might have found through Cruel
Site of the Day.
Friday, May 24, 2002
Revanchist. Political agenda to regain lost power
Again. Cruel Site. Something about Mexico, if I recall.
Sunday, July 7, 2002
Agnoiology. The philosophy of ignorance
Not a fucking clue. I have no idea how I found that one.
I keep other notes in there. Stuff like:
Saturday, April 27, 2002.
Everyone is at Denny’s.

Watch Dr. Who with Dave and Matt. Ha-Ha.

Kristin calls. I’m not coherent enough for a decent conversation.

Can’t sleep. Too itchy.
And that’s about how good I am with a diary. Really. Look at this site. I
so rarely update it. I don’t think I have the stick-to-it-ness to log on
every day and update something. I mean, I still have a life.
