...actually, I don't think the picture came out that bad! The haircut looks kind of guidous, though...

• 13:04 Going walkabout in Almaden County Park. Kinda hot today! #
• 14:10 You know, this would've been a good day to bring water along! Think this may be a shorter hike. #
• 22:10 Didn't go to any Pride things today. (As usual, it was Humility Day at my church.) However, got sunburned out of solidarity. #
• 22:40 Decided to sing a song or two. Did pretty well trying out Evanescence's "Bring me to life" for the first time. #
• 23:23 @redofthedead: Let the record reflect that Jell-o shots made with Tequila are, in fact, made of *awesome*. Thanks! #
• 23:26 @dahveed76: Really good (re-?) meeting you! And I love the ink. Did you have it done around here? #

• 16:17 Time to frost the cupcakes. If you know what I mean. #

• 01:30 @teawiththecheat: Likewise! Wait, what? #
• 02:31 Struck by how *young* Achilles seems to be. Surrounded by elders he respects/admires--Nestor, Phoenix, even Patroclus is older. #iliad #
• 02:34 Something œdipal in his rage at Agamemnon? Betrayal by a father-figure? Displaced by rage at Hector for killing another 'father'? #iliad #
• 09:55 @dans51: I hadn't even known there was another #iliad until I started using the hashtag! I've got the Fagels too--@nullalux recommended it. #
• 09:57 @dans51: I'd read the #Iliad on my #Kindle, but the Fagles isn't available. Just as well, I might cause some kind of e-singularity. #
• 10:14 @BrodyQat: Actually, looking at MJ's last couple of decades, I'm getting convinced that Quincy Jones was the genius, & MJ was the dancer... #
• 11:36 For the record, Stevie Wonder is a good guy: wcollier.blogspot.com/2009/06/overjoyed.html #
• 19:17 Gotta get cupcake fixings! I'm set for most of my ingredients, but I need some fake milk and fake butter. #
• 20:58 @juverna twitpic.com/8j9ta - Quite sensible. After one mojito, it's time to switch to bourbon. #
• 20:59 @redofthedead: Yep, for veglegon cupcakes. It's a recipe book @juverna gave me. #
• 21:56 Batch 1 is baking! ...licking the bowl is less fun somehow if there are no raw eggs involved. The risk of salmonella made it more exciting. #
• 21:59 @karenbynight: So Calvin didn't cop this kind of bathtime 'tude? bit.ly/aG6iM #
• 22:12 Batch #1! twitpic.com/8jk6g #
• 22:24 @deus_pater: Hope you have a great run tomorrow! Can't wait to hear about it. #
• 22:25 @juverna: Barack Obama is a bad influence on him. #

• 09:19 @soof: You can put tequila in your coffee, then! #
• 09:53 From @theonion: [video] Congressman Offers Preemptive Apology For Extramarital Affair bit.ly/vM0hz (Not 100% w/s) #
• 10:37 A tech transition: George Will's column contains tinyurl links--so people reading on paper can easily type links into their browser. #
• 10:38 It's that narrow window when *some* people are still reading on paper, but might easily decide to follow a link online. #
• 12:25 Earworms are dangerous. Hope nobody in the lunchroom heard me singing "grab your dick and double-click for porn, porn, porn!" Um... oops. #
• 14:07 At the DMV. My joy abounds! #
• 14:09 @juverna: Want to see the new 'Terminator' flick with me? It's about robots fighting humans and... um, that's just about it. #
• 14:20 It pains me as a Republican to admit it, but everyone at the DMV was friendly, courteous, and efficient. Bah. #
• 14:39 #Gilad may be going home: snipurl.com/kvjke Huh. I guess @elgecko gets results. #
• 14:41 I looked up and away right as DL picture was being taken. I blame the tech's long pause between saying "3" and hitting the button... #
• 14:42 Face was still forward (and smiling), but eyes were looking off. I hope it looks charmingly nonchalant. #
• 14:46 @dorfird: Re that earworm, here's a music video someone put together: bit.ly/q8lqF Images are worksafe, words kinda aren't. #
• 15:00 @juverna: How about "Wolverine"? See, there's this guy, and knives come out of his hands, and he fights other guys. #
• 15:01 @juverna: And hey, we agreed about "Music and Lyrics" and "Pulp Fiction"... #
• 15:28 Rest in peace, Michael Jackson. bit.ly/SxL7k ...no jokes here. Kyrie eleison. #
• 17:27 Just wrote to my senators about the proposed health care reforms. (I might not have written the email you want sent. So write your own!) #
• 17:28 @redofthedead: Way to go! Orange cheese is a vital nutrient. #

• 09:46 @redofthedead: Oh dear! Hope you're doing okay. Let us know how it turns out? #
• 10:34 @juverna: Gorgeous! Can't wait to see it live. #
• 14:46 @SVMBLLS: If we sign up to make recurring donations, can we have them credited to TNT sponsorships? (For ourselves? For others?) Thanks! #
• 16:22 I kind of sympathize with Sam here: bit.ly/15tgcf
  Doesn't stop me from playing warlocks, though. #
• 16:35 Woo-hoo! We beat Spain at football, 2-0: bit.ly/nIR0b (Why the low score? Apparently it's some kind of "metric football".) #
• 18:27 @jimgeraghty: Funny, you don't look neo! #
• 19:46 @redofthedead: Yes, with most kinds of liquor. Not sure about Jell-o shots with tequila, f'r'ex. But it might be worth a try! #
• 20:03 @redofthedead: You figure J&A will mind my sleeping on their couch? ;-) #
• 21:42 I really want to know what I'm singing in this one: m.flickr.com/#/photos/7213412@N04/3646315358/ #

• 13:31 @juverna: You know I'm a big fan of you, short hair, and you with short hair. But I'm not one of the top three voters, I know... ;-) #
• 17:25 Temperature is down to 81F! I guess I can hardly fail to go running now that it's so cool. #
• 19:34 Resting heart rate before the run was 43 BPM. Why? Because I am MOTHERFUCKING SERENE. Boo-yah. #
• 19:36 @juverna: Um... Jon Stewart and Kate Capshaw? No? Then I got nuthin'. #
• 22:35 @soof: So sorry to hear it! Very glad I'll be able to see you tomorrow. If it'll help, I'll dedicate "Skullcrusher Mountain" to you. #
• 22:41 @feebeeglee: I think of myself as being somewhere between Stewball and Meatwad. #
• 23:09 Facebook, Aptly Summarized: bit.ly/1amthR
  (w/s, PAINFNIA) #
• 23:37 Just read something extremely silly someone wrote on FB. Correcting him would be pointless and would cause mutual stress. So. Shan't! #
• 23:38 But for the record: You're thinking of Latin, not German. Easy to mix those languages up, aside from the "nothing like each other" part. #
• 00:17 Huh--I'd missed that Patroclus is older than Achilles. That changes things somehow. #iliad #

• 13:13 @girlpurple: I'm "shoutingboy" on Dreamwidth, as I am in most of the newfangled social-interweb. #
• 13:13 @girlpurple: Not that I ever actually *use* Dreamwidth, mind you. But I'm there. #
• 17:18 Hm. 84F and sunny in Mountain View. Good weather for a *very very slow* run. #
• 21:39 @spaghettisquash: Nah, steam power is decadent. The Amish are mulepunk. #
• 21:43 @teawiththecheat: I'm thinking I may make you pay me for the MS w4r3z with sangria... #
• 23:55 Finally watched "Dr. Horrible". It starts out kind of Joss Whedony, and it ends up really Joss Whedony. #
• 00:18 Huh! There were three dudes named "Thoon" fighting for Troy. Odysseus just killed Thoon # 2. Tough times for the Thoonoi. #iliad #
• 00:19 @stinson: No indeed! I was hoping for Whedonosity. But it still kind of took me by surprise. #

...for no particular reason. Taken at the (Rancho San Antonio) Deer Hollow Farm this past Saturday.

...and, yeah, eating less meat. And now I'm feeling guilty about milk, too. How'd that happen? (I followed the wrong link is how it happened. I'd managed to go 41 years without realizing that, um, cows only make milk if they've had a calf recently. So the milk industry--even at its best, non-factory-farm, cozy little red barn, mythical ideal--still involves getting the cows preggers every year, then dealing with the calf--the unwanted milk-production by-product--in ways that make me a sad panda. Dammit.)

NO, I haven't made any commitments. And this week is another one of those obscure fasts of the Orthodox Church, so I wouldn't be eating meat anyway. But, well, dang.

• 23:02 Baby goats! I tell you. *Not* fair. flic.kr/p/6yw8QA #
• 23:28 Man, Agamemnon is kicking ass! How long is the #Iliad, anyway? Only needs 12 books, from the way things are going. Go long-haired Argives! #
• 00:01 Umm... never mind. Hector kinda turned things around, didn't he? I don't think we're half done yet. #iliad #

• 12:40 Visited the Deer Hollow Farm. Was confronted by baby goats and a *most* impertinent hen. Went for a hike to shake off the trauma. #
• 12:42 Aaah! Quaillets! #
• 15:48 @magna_maxima: With, I trust, a clarification in Appendix A: "Painting the Laundry Room". #
• 15:50 Nice sevenish mile hike in Rancho San Antonio. The ~ 13-year-old barely-used hiking boots seem just fine, they should be good for the trip. #
• 15:53 But dammit, the chickens and baby goats at Deer Hollow Farm are seriously stressing my omnivory. (bit.ly/DeerHollowFarm) #
