Someone just randomly called supposedly long distance from San Diego for the purpose of spewing a bunch of really random hate speech and that they were calling from a cancer research center for a survey about the election of something.
Priceless: They claimed they found the number on Craigslist in a personals ad.
I can just picture someone placing an advert: Lonely and bigoted? Looking for something to run up your phone bill on a Friday night?
WTF?
Before they really got going, I thought they might actually be calling from the stupidest survey ever and I asked them if they really thought two in the morning was a good time to be taking a survey. I just got in and was focused primarily on eating something delicious and picking something to watch on TiVo; I know a real survey was implausible. I had also heard of the political trick where one party would call at inopportune times and claim to be supportive of what was actually their opponent. I also thought it could be that. But no.
One really has to stay up a lot later than 2am to prank anyone gothic though. LOL
Back to Tofutti Cutie, crab cakes, and apple now.

Torchwood season two came out on DVD last week. A lot of you have probably been watching it on BBC America, but, if youâve missed this Doctor Who spin-off for adult fen, I definitely recommend picking up the DVDs. You can watch seasons one and two straight through in an orgy of science fiction consumption now.
If you are not familiar with Doctor Who, allow me to give you the basic overview. The Doctor is a regenerating, very long-lived, highly-curious, extremely intelligent womanizer from outer space. Gallifrey in the something or other nebula, if memory serves. The Doctor Who SF serial has been around for ages and gone through many iterations with different actors playing the man who invites strange women to come for a ride in his penis car TARDIS and see the world. And other worlds. In the past, present, and future. When they start to age, the dashing Time Lord ditches them. If guys sometimes being a little piggy towards their lady friends troubles you too much, you may want to go re-read some Ursula LeGuin instead of watching, but these BBC shows really are fun.
In the Christopher Eccleston Doctor and Billie Piper companion iteration of the show, the character of Captain Jack Harkness was introduced. Jack is a 51st century kinda guy, omnisexual and happy to make sexual conquests of men and women. For a while, Jack, the Doctor, and Rose travel together in the TARDIS on Doctor Who and, although it is never explicitly stated, the implication is that they are having hot three-way space-faring sex.
Although many of the earlier incarnations of Doctor Who were pretty cheesy in the effects department, the Russell T. Davies version is more pleasing to the eye and more convincing. He . . .

In this original Blue Blood interview, Forrest Black and Rachel Kramer Bussel have just eaten a whole lot of delicious cupcakes. Forrest Black interviews the writer/editor about her Cupcakes Take the Cake blog. They also discuss her naughty themed anthologies which include Spanked: Red-Cheeked Erotica. Writer/editor Clint Catalyst has a cameo appearance. And I helped eat . . .

Lakeshore Entertainment, the creators of Crank, are bringing us Pathology, now out on DVD. Crank is the sort of quality enjoyable-but-wonât-change-your-life movie that Iâd expect Hollywood to put out tons of, but which actually rarely gets produced. The movie banked largely on the appeal of Jason Stathamâs ability to project manly manliness and a simple but tight script. And it worked.
Pathology stars Milo Ventimiglia, best known for playing the intelligent and sensitive, yet brooding and multi-powered Peter on NBCâs Heroes. In Pathology, Milo Ventimiglia plays a brilliant med student who others are trying to lure into a deadly game of murder as only medical lab experts could commit it. I havenât seen the flick yet, but, from what I hear, I expect that it is a good solid watch. And, with the world going to Hell in a hand-basket at the moment, we can all use all the pleasantly engrossing diversion we can get.
Check out our Pathology gallery courtesy of Fox, if you just think Milo Ventimiglia is cute. Watch the trailers to get more of a feel for the movie, but be forewarned they are redband trailers and contain some gorey R-rated material. In all fairness, I canât personally decide if I think Milo Ventimiglia is a hottie and a half or I just have a thing for . . .

So the deities of irony are basically mocking me with the computer problems I just started having.
My FireFox will crash itself when I am not even in the room.
Pages will take forever to load. Saving a Photoshop JPEG will take like ten minutes when it should be pretty much instant.
Everything I type lags way behind how fast I am typing it and sometimes drops letters or portions of sentences.
All MicroSoft Office products flicker unbearbably whenever I use them.
I prefer to write in Word, so this sucks a lot.
Task Manager does not appear to be working when I call it up. It just displays all funky and won’t let me use it to close much.
I keep having to hard boot and, when I do, on restart, SpyBot Search and Destroy keeps trying to delete a MicroSoft Office file called ctfmon.exe
Yes, I am fully aware or the irony in this happening right after I wrote an article praising MicroSoft.
Anyone have any ideas of what is wrong or how I can fix it?
So far, SpyBot, AdAware, Panda, and Malwarebytes have been unable to deal with it and Housecall refuses to load for some reason, claiming it does not work with my OS, when it has cleaned this specific machine with the same setup in the past. My computer is also claiming to feel MicroSoft support is a security risk.

I wondered about this while reading a thread on a LARP site where people were discussing whether the economic downturn would decrease GWCs or give them an edge.
I think it is frustrating for any artist trying to get by to offer someone a totally fair and commercially viable rate and have them come back with the rate a GWC gave them. The whole point is that a GWC is not basing their rates or policies on being a professional artist, so, when paying a model a gajillion dollars an hour or whatever, a GWC does not have to factor in how little they will actually make from wherever the work is likely to be published. I do not think of GWC as meaning someone who is untalented or a beginner necessarily, just someone who is holding the camera for reasons which have little to do with the final image.
How do you define GWC?
