i have found god. not in the born-again judeo-christian sense, but in the culinary sense.
many times i have eaten malaysian food at a place called penang village in san jose, and it has always been a delight to my tongue.
i have finally found a place that trumps it.
welcome to the spice islands cafe, downtown mountain view.
aside from the awesome interior decor that crosses southeast asian and californian contemporary lines, the food is tremendously tasty, excitingly exotic, and disturbingly delicious.
malaysian style coconut scallops, beef rendang, nasi lemak, coconut rice, shrimp rolls, basil chicken and malaysian style spareribs.
mmm.

but isn't everyone doing a christmas post these days? you have the introspective ones, the shallow ones, the ones of limited intelligence (OMG I got my mom a vacuum for christmas and my brother got me a KYOOOT SHIRT!!! OMG!!!), the nasty ones, the depressed ones, the accounts of the holiday rush and of the emotions that follow, the happy ones and overjoyed ones.
this is pretty much all of those combined.
i always have mixed emotions this time of year. between the mother who hates my dad's side of the family for "stealing" my sister and i away every holiday leaving her alone and the great grandmother who is 95 and could kick the bucket any day now and work and the unappreciative and fake sister and the mom who is slowly becoming alcoholic i really have no idea what the hell i'm doing anymore.
i guess it all boils down to one thing- doing my best to make everyone happy, which is what i always try to do. i enjoy putting a smile on someone's face with the thoughtfulness of a gift or what have you but the bank account has been finding itself slim recently and my plans to slowly collect christmas gifts for people over the course of the year crashes and burns inevitably as usual.
but it's whatever.
so this year i'm done, and done quick. shopping wasn't bad and my procrastination didn't force me to endure too much pain, for which im thankful.
and on top of that i found out that i can legally administer weddings in california.
fucking awesome.
merry christmas to you, christians and non-christians alike. all i can ask of you is to smile at the guy or girl next to you when you're out there braving the world so they know that they are alive and real and that there are other people in the world they can connect with.
peace

hands shake, fingers twitch. don't know what's wrong but it's happened more and more recently. maybe it's too much stress, maybe it's too much worry. but i don't really do either enough to really do anything. eh. need release, need to clear my head. maybe visit my friend and bring a little more e so we can both enjoy a couple hours of sensory bliss and carnal pleasure. i want something new though, something different. its a lost cause, im stuck in a loop and can't get out. one to the next to the next, then back around again. i get bored too easy, tired of the same thing. i like exciting and new and i like to bring the new and exciting to others. weird headaches too, they come in spikes. a few seconds then gone, then fine for hours and hours and hours and hours. and no, its not the e or anything else because i dont take it, just the cute little fuckbunny i've been messing around with. packages have arrived, my stockpiling continues. paranoia isnt so bad now that i feel more prepared; i even have some documentation written. keep charcoal briquettes in the house, buy a bag and some decent outdoor clothes, you know the usual. too many projects to finish, too many tasks to do. quarterly tax returns for business, fixing the car, getting some fun stuff for a certain russian minx, partying and drinking, going to the shooting range, buying supplies, writing this crap up, downloading pictures, aaaagh. i cant say it more succinctly than i need something new to play with, another new body to plunder. blow me away and take my mind off of things, make me think of nothing but the moment so i can enjoy that temporary zen state i once felt like i had achieved. taking volunteers, send in resumes via email to themoment@gmail.com. i guarantee fun, no strings attached, party favors optional.

steal your election websitesso a few facts regarding the race. according to congress even a concession by one candidate does not mean that he has given up. only the electoral votes decide. so on december 13th the electoral college meets and casts their votes. congress is not legally allowed to open this vote until january 6th. the eff is helping to fight for your rights along with blackboxvoting.org and others help them in any way you can. please. even though it doesn't matter, this sets the stage for the future of the predictive timeline we're walking down right now. truth == anger == unrest == revolution you make the call. people don't get angry unless they know the truth. and when bush "wins" the election even if he didn't win according to the truth, you can figure out the rest. i am finishing my maps and my instructions for my friends and im buying more supplies and the like. thats all. peace. ps. most disturbing of all is this website showing the differences in exit polls vs. actual tabulation in states that had paper ballots vs. exit polls against actual tabulation in states that had machines. add in the fact that diebold is a heavy republican supporter and other controversies in the past and you get one big fat question mark. you have been robbed. learn. educate yourself. fight back. oh yeah. happy turkey day, eat lots of turkey or ham. i prefer ham but my great grandmother's turkey's dark meat is great and her bread and her green beans and her mashed potatoes are unrivaled this side of missouri
