Well, I know what kim-chee tastes like, and I know what fired rice tastes like. Pass. I'm not really a kim-chee fan. To each their own...

TPBM is getting ready to shift their paradigm.

Kinda sorta,,,, yeah. My interest in golf is waning whilst I pursue getting this place next door up and running. Bringing the Burn Home is not necessarily a new paradigm, but has become more of a priority!

TPBM finds themselves searching for purpose since TTITD took place and are no longer satisfied with day-to-day routines of defaultia.

I was barely satisfied before the event, and somehow I did not get renewed there.

Maybe. But not when Isreal is getting a pass on its assholism. Among other instances.
TPBM is planning a special on-playa adventure for a special eplayan next year.

Sending Simon on an easter egg hunt for eggs filled with unmentionables should be interesting, no? I could think of a few motivational rewards..

TPBM has a not-so-secret affection for popping packing material bubbles..

What else?

TPBM really needs to quit biting their nails, but after 20+ years of doing so it's pretty much a lost cause.

Ughhhhh.. that's the last societal trend besides Google+ that I'm resisting!

My art is performance, not visual. I'd be a great worker bee on a large scale art project (I'm good at manual labor), but a lousy designer of said project.

Yup. All we have to do is get the marriage thing sewed up and then go to work on making flaming personalities broadly accepted and admired and continue the sexual revolution so we are all healthier, and allow the gay games to be called the gay olympics, and d289 more things.

TPBM is very glad I put that "d" in there, because she/he recognizes it as a very queer constant.

Yes... I kinda do. Throwing a bachelorette party for a close friend. I'm sure it will be good, clean fun. :twisted:

TPBM has no plans for the weekend.

My weekend plans sadly include only sleep and a couple of third shifts in the ER....

TPBM avoided eplaya for the last few weeks as it only reminded them of what they missed out on...which will NOT be the case in 2012! ;)

True, mum's the word.

TPBM knows that even if the findings of the Opera researchers can be independently verified failing someone from the future tapping them on the shoulder and offering them sage advice it's unlikely they'll see any benefit.

Yep, the fractured rib that Just Won't Heal and the passing of my beloved fur-baby. One on-playa, one after returning. Apparently I need to build internal fortitude or something...
