My brother came up from Corvallis last night so we could go to the Soap Box Derby this morning on Mt. Taber. It was an exciting event with lots of fabulous vehicles.
I just love the terrified expression on her face.

According to an online dating website this is my ideal man:
Favorite Qualities
*Your choices suggest a man over 40 may be a little old for you
*You seemed interested in dating a man at least 25 or older
*Very handsome men
*Sharp, narrow chins
*Wide and square-shaped faces
*So-called "Ecto-Mesomorphs," with narrow chins and nicely angular faces
Favorite Looks
Some may call one of your types "Pretty Boys," but all you know is that they're gorgeous. The combination of classic good looks with small noses, beautiful eyes, and full lips is hard to resist. These guys tend to be clean shaven, have clear skin, and get good hair cuts. They're taking good care of themselves so they can be "pretty" just for you! (Well, you and the 1 in 3 women (33%) that are also after them!)
Another of the "looks" that you consistently noticed has been described as "Ruggedly Handsome." These men usually have strong, angular faces and "chiseled" features. Forget small button noses! You like men with strong, manly noses, balanced with an equally prominent chin. A tan and weathered look further adds to their overall impression of masculinity. Only 1 in 10 women (9%) are uniquely drawn to this type of man over a more traditional mainstream type.
Favorite Face Type
Faces known scientifically as "Ecto-Mesomorphs" repeatedly caught your eye. Men express this type in two ways. One version has a rectangular face shape that is long and narrow. The other type's face shape is often compared to a diamond, because it is wide at the cheeks and then has a sharply angled jaw. All Ecto-Mesomorph men have striking chins that are prominent and squared-off with a crisp line at the base. This is one of the most idealized male face types and can be found on most movie and music idols. It can hold either bold masculine features or more delicate handsome features, or some sexy combination of both. These men also tend to have lean and muscular builds when they're young. About 78% of other women especially prefer men with this face type.

I've been playing with digital and scanned pictures all evening. I've updated the picture page again.
Boy, it's hot here in Portland. I need to put some ice packs on me and quit playing around on the computer. It's just so addictive with the new DSL.
And, Hey, Who drank all the shiraz?!

Another couple calls to my buddy Serge in Qwest tech support and I finally have DSL. After a quick trip to the iCrack store (had to test it out and make sure it worked) I'm ready for a nap. My allergies have turned into a sucky sinus infection. I feel really old today. But at least my legs are in one piece, unlike some of my friends.
The vote from my friends is for blatant lies in the dramatis personae section. Yay! I'll let you know when I'm done slandering everyone.

"With typical installation, you should be able to set up and launch your service withint a half hour." -Qwest Welcome Letter
I've spend over five fricking hours trying to get my DSL line up and running. As far as I can tell, the modem is working, I just can't configure it for the ISP. The CD they sent keeps getting stuck at the same place and of course they don't give my any information to configure it myself. Qwest tech support is useless when it comes to macs.
I'm about ready to claw my own eyes out.

"Oh well, whatever, nevermind." - Nirvana
I woke up with a pounding sinus headache and called in sick to work. I wandered down to the Kaiser pharmacy and they hooked me up with migraine med refills and got me some Claritin D and some eye drops. I'm already feeling 80% better. I never really thought I had allergies until today.
Today at 5:00pm my DSL will be activated. I didn't want to pay the $99 installation fee so I'm installing it myself. I have an alarm system so I'm trying to figure out how to filter that line without setting off the alarm and having the police show up to my house. If all goes well I'll be online and downloading and uploading like a fiend by sun down.
There will be some minor renovations at KFK central over the next couple of weeks. Last night I updated the pictures page. Next will be dramatis personae. I'd like to have pictures of my friends who I talk about on the site. Would you guys like to write your own profiles or should I just make up some blatant lies?

"Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together." --Anais Nin
While perusing the iCrack store last night I stumbled across one of my favorite songs. "Sister Moon" by Sting. When I was younger "Nothing Like the Sun" was my consummate seduction CD. It�s what I�d play quietly in the background whenever that cute boy was over. The phrase "I�d go out of my mind, but for you" was a secret code, subliminally filling their head with my adoration for them. I�ve had other seduction music such as The Cowboy Junkies and David Sylvian. The most recent of course has been Diana Krall. If you�re ever over at my house and I put on Diana Krall�s "When I Look in Your Eyes" on and offer you a glass a wine, you'll know you�re in trouble. What is your seduction CD?
