Spam attack
Ever since my post about Jesus, I’ve been inundated with comment and trackback spam. I’d think of it as nasty stuff if I weren’t so used to getting such spam in emails for years. I guess terms that I was 25 before I knew what they meant are now familiar [Read More]
James Cameron’s startling claim: Jesus wasn’t resurrected
In a new documentary, Producer Cameron and his director, Simcha Jacobovici, make the starting claim that Jesus wasn’t resurrected –the cornerstone of Christian faith– and that his burial cave was discovered near Jerusalem. And, get this, Jesus sired a son [Read More]
Quintessential belly shot (June 2005)
Quintessential belly shot (June 2005) Originally uploaded by toastiest. I’ve got a billion more pressing things to do, but I took a break to go through some photos on an old SD card. I uploaded about a dozen pics of Zellouisa from 2005. [Read More]
I found my glasses
After a month-and-a-half, my glasses have finally turned up, and they were precisely where I thought they were, in a small compartment of a small piece of luggage. Somehow, this small piece of luggage evaded my several frantic searches. A couple of weeks ago, a doctor told [Read More]
Making — my own
Finally put up the nickel-plated digits by my front door, along with a brand-new mailbox. As far as necessities go, I certainly didn’t need new address markers and a new mailbox. I don’t even own this house. But the [Read More]
Why I don’t throw stuff out

Cassettes
For the first time in years, I unpacked my collection of audio cassettes. Why do I still have a collection of audio cassettes? They’re representative of who I’ve been and who I still am. I probably have about 40 or 50 cassette singles! My car does have a tape [Read More]
Venting about Hillary
I was just listening to Ed Schultz on the radio, as his show has taken Al Franken’s slot on WCHL. Generally, it’s a better program, but Ed has been pissing me off defending Hillary Clinton the past couple of days. Her 2002 vote on the Iraq resolution should cost [Read More]
Pork chops, fried chicken, and tacos! Mmmmm…all at the Texas Death Chamber Cafe
For his last meal, Anderson requested pork chops, fried chicken, tacos, baked potatoes, potato salad and french fries. Source: news.yahoo.com If the worst punishment you can dole out to a criminal is death, if capital punishment is supposed to be a deterrent to crime, why [Read More]
Livejournal account lives
I renamed my account account. Someone already had toastiest, so I just grabbed toastie_st. For the record, this is meant to be pronounced as “toastiest” and not “toastie S T” and not “toastie street”. So, all public posts will be posted [Read More]
