Every time I see Aerosmith, I’m obsessed for a week.
Pic pinched from Cristoffer’s Aerosmith Page.
If I was a mere 16 years older, I would have been the biggest fuckin’ groupie.
Today’s shopping explosion:

I am ordering the “I Love My Geek” and caffeine molecule babydolls today. The latter makes loads of sense to people that know me well.
I think I need to buy some jeans and another pair of platforms, too. EBay time.
Heavy Red is currently my favorite clothing company.
Formula 54 is being held up by my inability to procure a tobacco flower oil that isn’t wretched.
I never get starstruck, but I am in lust with Joe Perry.
One of these days, I really will finish my post re: last weekend.
Jesus, we’re having another fucking meeting. Back later.
Today sucks.
You are Form 7, Gryphon: The Wyrm.
“And The Gryphon displaced the balance of
the world in his favor. With grace and
control, Gryphon deceived mankind and ruled
over civillization. But even he realized that
all good things must come to an end.”
Some examples of the Gryphon Form are Satan
(Christian) and Baphomet (Assyrian).
The Gryphon is associated with the concept of
control, the number 7, and the element of wind.
His sign is the gibbous moon.
As a member of Form 7, you are a very in control
individual. You maintain your coolness in most
situations and always seem to be prepared.
Though some may say you are a bit of a control
freak, you know that you really do make the
best leader even if others can’t see it.
Gryphons are the best friends to have because
they have a positive influence on people.
Which Mythological Form Are You?

A quick note to everyone that has emailed us at Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab within the last 10 (or so) days:
(Apologies for the cross-post!)
We have been having severe email problems this week, and it has gotten to the point where I am finally changing service providers. I feel a fair amount of remorse, as our relationship with our ISP was flawless for years, but this has become intolerable. I have been as patient as any person can be expected to be, but I am finally fed up beyond endurance.
Today is the first time in 10-12 days that I have been able to email anyone successfully for longer than half an hour at a time… if that. If you have not received a reply from me, Ted or Brian by this evening, and have emailed us within that time frame, please resend. Gods willing, I’ll actually receive it.
Hell, call me at home. It’s the least I could do.
Thanks, and sorry for blabbing this publicly, but I just want to ensure that all of our clients receive the best possible service, despite this idiotic hindrance.

It’s upsetting that I can’t pick up Ted’s birthday present because some bastard cloned my fucking ATM card.
I just want to know who did this to me. That’s all. Until Hermesiel started doing RC and Reiki work on my behalf, I really felt like the rings of Saturn were getting a chokehold on me. It’s so easy for me to feel malicious, especially when I get fucked.
Righty.
Onto a more pleasant stream of thought…
Why are the only pics I like of myself ones from my adolescence? It seems like I turned 25 and suddenly lost any photogenic qualities I ever possessed.
Random photo time:
At ten and fifteen, respectively. I love the foofy hair in the second pic. T’was windy in my back yard that day.
I wonder if I look the same still.
If you don’t care, you’re tacitly consenting:

Supreme Court Reviewing Suspects’ Rights Cases
By Dean Schabner
Oct. 15 — In a police practice some say is increasingly common, a St. Louis officer held off reading a suspect her Miranda rights until he got her to admit she played a role in setting a fire that killed a young boy. Then he read her her rights, and convinced her to confess again.
Why? Because he thought, correctly as it turned out, that suspect Patrice Seibert would be more likely to make incriminating statements before she knew of her rights, and then it would be easy enough to get her to repeat the confession after she’d been “Mirandized,” as the law requires.
Seibert’s first confession in the 1997 fire that killed Donald Rector was not admissible as evidence. But her taped reiteration of the confession was used in her trial to help convict her of second-degree murder and get her a life sentence.
The St. Louis County police officer who interrogated Seibert testified he intentionally did not tell her of her rights, and said he had been told not to in order to get a confession that could be used to get her to talk even after she knew she had the right to remain silent.
Some lawyers say the practice is growing in popularity among police, and the courts are taking a closer look.
The Missouri Supreme Court, for instance, threw out Seibert’s conviction in December 2002, ruling in a 4-3 decision the taped confession, which was played for the jury, was inadmissible. The state has since asked the U.S. Supreme Court to take up the issue.
The case, Missouri v. Seibert, is just one of eight the Supreme Court is hearing this term that look at police proceedings in criminal investigations.
The high court is seeking either to make a mark on how law enforcement operates when it comes to Miranda and Fourth Amendment rights, say legal experts, or as preparation for cases arising from the war on terror expected to begin making their way through the courts in the coming years.
“That [the war on terror issue] is definitely the ghost at the banquet in all this,” said Kermit Hall, president of Utah State University and a professor of history there.
Either way, though, lawyers and legal scholars say the cases should have meaning not just to criminals but…
