http://arachnode.net/ This thing has been keeping up with my blog, maybe even more regularly than my normal stalkers do. It has been keeping up with my tags, categories and everything. Its a little bit odd. http://arachnode.net/blogs/disturbingthoughts_net/default.aspx
For the past 2 weeks I have been having popcorn as a late evening snack. I have discovered that 3.5 ounces of Pop Secret takes 15 seconds longer to pop than 3.5 ounces of Act II. I have confirmed that the weight is actually the same (using my handy kitchen gram scale), and they both […]
What is the point of fuzzy handcuffs? They are for “erotic” situations, but usually for domination and control play, which tends to go to any direction but “fuzzy”. I own 6 pair of handcuffs (2 chain, 2 hinged, 2 long chain) as well as other steel restraints, and I can’t imagine them being any fun […]
Finished my Art History assignment a few minutes ago. I am much happier with it than I was with literature. It took me 5 days to create 200 words about a few Frost poems, but only about an hour to create 700 words about some paintings by Raphael. Its interesting how I handle visual information […]
I am presently analyzing Robert Frost poems. I entered this process with a fairly high opinion of Frost, but I think he man spent too much time staring out into nature, or reflecting on nature after his experiences.

This semester I am noticing a horrible trend among instructors of web-based courses, they are abandoning the courses for days (or weeks in some cases) and being generally unresponsive when students attempt to communicate with them. For my self-paced C# course I expected that, but not in my Art History and Literature courses. Chris and […]
I planted this bush/tree in my yard about three years ago. I thought it was just a flowering tree, but now it is producing berries/fruit and I have no idea what it is. Does anyone recognize what type of plant this is? In the spring it did blossom, but they were short-lived, and […]
At some point near the end of this semester I am considering taking a correspondence course from UNC-Chapel Hill called “Advanced Poetry Writing”. It is a self-paced course that has a format allowing the student and instructor to develop the curriculum for the course. I have been wanting another Creative Writing course since Creative Writing […]
