Serpent Mother Buy-In

6/29/2006, 10:24 am, Art, General

I haven’t told my readers (ie: you) enough about what’s been going on. Here’s a little personal bit about the Serpent Mother project that you won’t fully understand because I haven’t given you context.

I wrote some stuff to a guy interested in our project and then another guy on our project paraphrased what I wrote with…

Low Key Peep Flambe Camp

6/27/2006, 5:48 pm, General

This was our camp at Burning Man in 2006 and 2007. The info below is just about the 2006 camp. I’ve got lots more pix but… phew, there’s not enough time in a day to post them. And you you really want to see them?

 

Low Key Peep Flambe Camp is a… well, it’s a pretty low key camp. The assumed group responsibilities are pretty minimal. We’re not nessesarily dining together, or showering together or building a giant humongus camp focal point together. Instead,  maybe  we’ll dine together if we’re ‘home’ at the same time. We certainly won’t be washing one another’s dishes! Maybe we’ll hang out under our (not so very large but quite homey and pleasant) shade structure together. We’ll certainly watch out for one another, keeping the dust madness away.

And of course, there will be Peeps. And they will be lit on fire and consumed with glee.

A Burning Man Thought… audio recording

6/21/2006, 4:46 pm, General

Hmm, I could make an audio recording of the entire 7 days. At 1 MB a minute, the whole thing, 24 x 7 would only be 10 gigabytes.

Hmm.

But I’d want some video as well. Recording video the whole time would be a big bother though.

Hmmm…

Overheard in my email inbox

6/21/2006, 10:21 am, General, Rants

Me at work:
>> Do you know how I can allow my Windows and Exchange passwords can be
>> different? If not, say so and I’ll go googling for info.

Him:
>I do not know off hand, I would need to research it.

So does that mean he -will- research it or he -could- research it? And why didn’t he take me up on my offer? Maybe he didn’t read my whole (2 sentence long) email.

Overheard in the lunch room

“What is it?”
“It’s an herbal mixture made up by a school teacher who got tired of being sick all the time.”

And yes, that was the full weight of the explanation.

Facts about Jack Bauer

6/18/2006, 11:10 pm, Other Sources

This list of facts about Jack Bauer is terrific. There’s hundreds of ’em…

If everyone on “24” followed Jack Bauer’s instructions, it would be called “12”.

If Jack Bauer’s gun jams, it’s because he wanted to beat you with it.

The truth may hurt, but it doesn’t hurt as much as Jack Bauer.

Upon hearing that he was played by Kiefer Sutherland, Jack Bauer killed Sutherland. Jack Bauer gets played by no man.

When someone asks him how his day is going, Jack replies, “Previously, on 24…”

Superman wears Jack Bauer pajamas.

Jack Bauer sleeps with a pillow under his gun.

Lets get one thing straight, the only reason you are conscious right now is because Jack Bauer does not feel like carrying you.
