Happy birthday, James. My gift to you is a box of HTML anchors, for you to use freely on your site. Of course, it would help if you abandoned the evils of frames as well, so people could link to your content without losing all means of navigation. Perhaps the key to Babajaga's and Sleipnir's reunion is their love of frames? Oh, and if you're 87, I'm from Mars. Have a happy one anyway, you coot. Oh, and I think a person can play a character that is not like them. Generally people don't, but it can be done. No universal rules to be had there. The bad news, of course, is this doesn't rule out the chance of being pathetic if you play a pathetic character.

For those thinking I'm updating the page while I have my head in an oven, you'd not be too far from the truth. Luckily, I have one of those high-tech ovens, and I'd basically end up cooking my head long before dying from gas inhalation. And, I hate cooking.

In a nutshell, besides the over-all it-just-sucks-to-get-divorced theme, things are compounded by my general financial ineptitude encountering outrageous circumstance. For those who need a more concrete, visual metaphor, try this: remember the scene in the Matrix where Agent Smith has Neo down on the train tracks? Well, change Neo to me, Agent Smith to my broker. "Hear that, Mr. Shaffer? That's the sound of inevitiability. That's the sound of your margin call." Tune in tomorrow to see if I can do an amazing kung-fu move and kick my broker in the 'nads and make a run for it.


Time for another poll. I'm considering starting another blog, but maybe that's just silly. But, there are thing I want to write about of a mature nature, and maybe the masses of people who come browsing around here because of Clan Lord don't want to be confronted with anything like that. I'm not talking about writing smut, or posting dirty pictures, I'm talking about writing about "mature themes." And, yeah yeah, I'd put up some sort of warning at the top of the page if I did it.
