Nuuuuu, I can't find anywhere good to preorder Ziltoid 2. What other CD can I get to be eligible for free shipping from Utopia Records? I need at least $35 worth of stuff.

a nit (to wit),
was evicted from my head!!
and it complained to the "nit" tribunal,
and then i pumped it full of lead.

the only problem that occurred,
was the shrapnel on that day,
it hit all the walls and bounced off the streets
and it blew all my thoughts away..hey hey hey hey!! !! !...



(that is not true. it is just a rhyme)

I wonder if older people have always been badly dressed or if they suddenly got to a point and stopped caring.

Dill's experiment #443

Superglue does indeed close up wounds. The blood doesn't overtake the glue itself, and after about 60 seconds, you have a seal. You then cover with a bandage so the edges don't start to peel/flake from rubbing against things.

I can see it as a better substitute for sutures in emergencies.

I was just talking about this yesterday in a way. I said that Flea, the bass player from the Red Hot Chili Peppers used to hit his bass so hard with his thumb that a chunk of flesh was missing, so he filled the gap with superglue.

my room has no room.

i know, it used to have washing machine, a dryer and that was it. also it has some sort of structure right above the threshold leading to the kitchen (there used to be a door), it looks like an old wall alarm bell that you see in schools, but encrusted in white paint. the thick cord that powered it is cut short, also encrusted in paint and it sticks out at a swird angle. when i was a lad i usd to ask my mom if this house was a schoolhouse.

a schoolhouse? in southern california? in the 30s?

anyway, i decided to finally get organized for once and put all my crap in one place and in order. the pocket in my binder was overflowing with papers and crap, so today at 2PM i did that in the room commonly regarded as the "gopher hole", because it's so tiny and stuffy. it has its own bathroom though, that's unique, just like the teacher there. he makes very convincing cat meows and an amazing donald duck impression. nice.

i got a brochure...booklet...thingy from OTIS in the mail last friday, my 5th brochure booklet, thingy from an art college. they, and all my other interesting books, i put them in one of my plastic drawers. i took out the hats and i put them in the trunk in the living room. i don;t really wear them, plus it's rather warm for them even now, i have two "russian" (aviator) fur caps and two thinner earflap caps...those latter ones are..i wore them regularly two years ago and those times were pretty strange, plus they look horrible n me i now realize. and in my evaluations they said i dressed normally for someone my age!! wut?

the booklet thing from LCAD was a little big for the drawer-it wouldn't close properly when i put it in so i just put it in bent. paperback.

i took all my random assorted sketches and sketchbooks, i tossed the unwanted and useless ones (there were a lot), put the loose wanted ones in plastic sleeves in a binder and i put all my other books in my drawer, above the light box, in between the "piggy" bank (it's Lion King themed) and the gamecube games. haven't played THOSE in a while...

i also put the spanish autism evaluation related papers my mom got when i was four in that binder too, along with my chronology of my fictional town i made back in 6th grade, compete with map and bibliography: My, Myself and I. it was excruciating to read that now, it reads like it was written like a faux-intellectual 6th grader! oh well, nostalgia/reflection factor i guess.

the back of my chair in that room needs seious repair, it;s like a stadium chair with two vertical rods and cloth back, the cloth part on top of the rods ruptured some time ago and now it just slides up and down and provides the worst back support, i pulled it up and stuck a wooden stick acros the top. it works for now, until i get a new one. with padding too, this one is made tolerable thanks to leather padding i salvaged sticking out of a trash can.

the bathroom faucet i replaced works fine, it;s just the stopper/pin mechanism that gets on my nerves sometimes. the clevis rod likes to pop right out of the pivot rod, and the stopper itself is worryingly loose. that area under the sink is just so cluttered i almost have to switch off the water and remove the pipes just to bet to the damn clevis screw.

but still, it's an ingenious design.

the pivot rod is delightfully firm.

Someone at work said something a bit scary. Her family friend didn't have any symptoms of cancer until one week before he died from it. So you could be looking healthy now and die from cancer in a week's time.

If stuff like that scares you, I recommend checking out a book called Final Exits: The Illustrated Encyclopedia of How We Die. (Don't be put off; it's more humorous than gruesome.) When you're aware of all the stupid crap that can kill you at any moment, and does kill thousands every year, it's impossible to fear death.

I don?t fit the template of what you call autism
It?s a spectrum after all
It sure ain?t no secret
I?ve got Asperger?s Syndrome
I do not regret it at all

It became official in ?94
To HFA it seems related
But that?s still on the debate floor
As all the research gets updated

It?s running in the family
And that?s what made the doctors say
Its gotta be hereditary
So they looked at the DNA

Some said it?s hypochondria
Some said that it?s an epidemic
Some blame the mitochondria
Some say we just ain?t empathetic

Some blame a virus in the sperm
Some blame the missing RORA gene
Some said that I require a cure?
I much prefer AANE

Some think that I can go no further
Than what the IEP provides
So how do they explain people with Asperger?s
Winning themselves a Nobel prize

I don?t fit the template of what you call autism
It?s a spectrum after all
It sure ain?t no secret
I?ve got Asperger?s Syndrome
I do not regret it at all

Its prevalence is sketchy at most
00.2% is what they say
But people get misdiagnosed
Or they fly under the radar totally.

Some say I ain?t got no emotions
That I'm a mule who?s good at math
And I might not know how to show it
But that don?t make me a sociopath

Some folks hold me in disfavor
Cause I can be inflexible
So I get punished for behavior
Over which I have no control

So ya, I stand out from the natives
But that don?t mean I can't survive
Give me a chance to be creative
And on this planet I will thrive!

Some think that I can go no further
Than what the IEP provides
So how do they explain people with Asperger?s
Winning themselves a Nobel prize

I don?t fit the template of what you call autism

Yeah!

In the famous words of Dr. Stephen Shore
?If you?ve met one person with Asperger?s, then you?ve met ONE person with Asperger?s.?

I don?t fit the template of what you call autism
It?s a spectrum after all
It sure ain?t no secret
I?ve got Asperger?s Syndrome
I do not regret it at all

My brain is idiosyncratic
Translation: I?m not ordinary
I still got problems with pragmatics
Despite my big vocabulary
My day is run by my routine:
Repetition is marvelous
I can test software like a machine
A lot of people think that stuff is tedious
I'm also very good at logic,
And that?s a skill I love to foster
Maybe if more people had got it,
Then we would all ?Live long and prosper.?

I got a subject of fascination
?Bout which I know almost everything,
And if I could make it my vocation,
Then Ima be living like a king!

Some think that I can go no further
Than what the IEP provides
So how do they explain people with Asperger?s
Winning themselves a Nobel prize

I don?t fit the template of what you call autism
It?s a spectrum after all
It sure ain?t no secret
I?ve got Asperger?s Syndrome
I do not regret it at all
