Woodbury Crossing Community - D.R.Horton - America’s Builder

I filled out a “more info” form tonight from DR Horton. They’ve been building like crazy in our community, and I’d like to see what happens if I try and contact them about a home in this “community.” I’ve had a hunch for as long as I’ve known this was a DR Horton site, that it just wasn’t moving forward very fast. Today I drove by it, and it made me really wonder. What with all the housing market news I read, I’m curious whether I’ll hear back from them. I’m also going to start a search in local records and news to see if I can find anything of interest.

From The Young Mans Book of Amusement - The Electric Kite

As with all the content of “The Young Man`s Book of Amusement“, this is presented on-line for information only. Please don`t attept to fly a kite during a storm. Lightning is extremely dangerous, see “A large globe of bluish fire struck Professor Richman on the head, and he instantly expired”

Headache

…is arguably the commonest of the human ills, and perhaps, in proportion to its impact, one of the least well understood.

With respect to the cause of the pain the mechanisms are much less well understood for the primary than for the secondary headaches. Whereas the pain due to injury to the skin, for example, is well understood as being due to stimulation of specific nerve endings in conjunction with local inflammatory events, it is not clear in primary head pain whether the nerves are firing normally or abnormally in response to various stimuli. Much work is to be to done, especially in regard to understanding tension-type headache.

Savage Love Web Extra : Fucked in the head, I guess it’s called, is a collection of reader-submitted wacky childhood perceptions about how sexy stuff works. It’s delightful and scary and comforting.

I can’t waste time figuring out how to link to a specific entry on here. But I have a friend who’s moving into a house they purchased on Beacon Hill in Seattle, so hopefully, you all can zoom in to find the item that’s right next to Beacon Hill on the map, and find out what’s UP with people.

Also, there are other parts of the West Coast that have some odd problems too:

BRADY BUNCH - BRADY BUNCH STAR REVEALS ALL ABOUT LESBIAN FLING WITH TV SISTER

Just keep reading this couple lines over and over again until you explode or fall down:

“The most explosive comments will be how the then-blonde, blue-eyed cutie [Marcia] developed a crush on [Jan] Eve Plumb, which led to some sexual play. “This book will certainly come as a shocker. While Maureen is not a lesbian, she reveals there were some sexual hijinks going on behind the scenes.

I’m sorry, but your “reasoning” is unreasonable and childish. And this is not bullshit Hollywood propaganda. I got these facts from talking to combat veterans, and hearing first-hand their stories of being screwed over.

Rigid Scholarship on Male Sexuality - Chronicle.com is a kind of three-way book report from Camille Paglia who I guess has been actively writing things in the ten or whatever years since I last even wondered what she was up to. But wait! it’s a book report about scholarly books about male sexuality. Well, I’m not even really going to allow that the book report concerns male sexuality and here’s why: Paglia mainly focuses on ejaculation:

• “It has been called sperm, semen, ejaculate, seed, man fluid, baby gravy, jizz, cum, pearl necklace, gentleman’s relish, wad, pimp juice, number 3, load, spew, donut glaze, spunk, gizzum, cream, hot man mustard, squirt, goo, spunk, splooge, love juice, man cream, and la leche.”
• A scientist of the 1930s cataloged “50 variations in sperm morphology with names such as micro-sperm, megalo-sperm, puff-ball, and double neck.”
• hilarious illustrations of a “romantic and irresistible sperm” sporting a top hat and gift rose
• murky waters of infinite subjectivity
• Leonardo is reductively discussed in terms of penises:
• McLaren kneads Greece and Rome together like one big honey cake.
• In the 1950s, virility was heralded as the way “to beat back the perversions of communism and homosexuality”

Of course it’s not fair, what I said about focusing on the jizz. The third book in the report is about impotence, I just wasn’t able to pay attention that long. Here’s a pull-quote from that part and you’ll see what I mean: “missing the fertility symbolism in the ithyphallic Athenian herms, for example, which were apotropaic vestiges of the agrarian past (rather than a sexist parading of male power)”

I really miss seeing 2008 presidential candidates in the “Cool New People” box when I go MySpace. I wonder why they’ve stopped showing up in there of late? I guess it could be due to the fact that all the hip and with-it presidential candidates are already in MySpace, so then they don’t show up in the Cool New box, because they’re not new anymore. Or maybe it’s because the coolnewness of MySpace just doesn’t matter anymore, so nobody bothers to sign up at all. I couldn’t tell you, it’s hard to mark whether or not the Cool New box even changes anymore, because all the meathead douchebag pictures that show up in there are basically the same backwards visor polo shirt guy anyway. Maybe that’s why the Pres.Cands aren’t in there. I guess, if you’re a Presidential Candidate for 2008 and you’ve not made the jump to MySpace, you’ve missed the boat. Maybe all the REALLY cool Presidential Candidates are on Facebook now? Or in Second Life! I want to see Dennis Kucinich[’s wife’s] Second Life Avatar!! MEOW!!!!

Anyway, *I* think the following photographs illustrate why being a Presidential Candidate on MySpace is a teensy bit risky.

Because, he’s so cool, he’s incomprehensible.

This is neat! Images of “the future” as posited by The French in 1900 or so.

I think this particular print seems quite romantic.

BEEZZZZZT! CLACK CLACK CLACK!!!
