I am in love with www.answerology.com.

I'm feeling a little overwhelmed and claustrophobic at the number of things Sascha and I own. I think it's because we've been trying to clean the house for nearly a week now, and there hasn't been much visible improvement. And we've been spending a lot of time with Jamie who owns only a stick and a bowl.

At the same time I want to buy more things. For example, I would like to have 8 sets of matching dishes to serve butternut squash soup, cornbread and spinach salad on at a small dinner party I'm hoping to have next month. And I would like to own this book, and this collection of Wallace Shawn's plays. And I want to buy sexy yet manly pyjamas for Sascha and some nice blinds for the living room window.

I recently discovered a very nice illustrated blog by someone named (I assume) Danny Gregory, which contains the following excellent and intriguing idea:

... a journal diet. Draw everything you own. Everything. Every single book, every stick of butter and shoelace. Now that would be a humbling experience. Or just draw everything you eat for a week. You'll be thinner, calmer and happier.

I don't know if I have the attention span for this little project, but I am very taken by the idea. I mean, if I can't be bothered to draw it, how much do I really need it?

Sascha and I are very taken by this new spammer-trend of including certain words and phrases that it is hoped will elude the spam filters on our email accounts.

For example, the email I just received from "Typhoid V. Socialistic". At first I thought that "Typhoid V. Socialistic" was a person's name. And I spent some time building up an image of Typhoid; that big, blonde, middle aged private detective with his poorly fitted suit and bad case of adult acne.

I then realized that I could be completely mistaken, and Typhoid V. Socialistic could in fact be a court case. And if it is, I'd like very much to know what it is all about.

Here are some spam-excerpts from Sascha:

lost some of her fierce expression. footing of mere friendship. but

And another one from the same people:

""friend," said muldev, "how came this youth thus to fall senseless

and the best one of all:

"served his master faithfully, not sparing himself in any way. then
let us homeward wend, songs of the birds overhead. 'what material!
what colours! it is a gorgeous suit!'"

I hate when people write in their blogs about how sorry they are that they haven't written in their blogs. However, I do deeply regret not having written for the last two weeks, and I'd like to extend my most sincere apologies. I've been very distracted.

All I can offer my devoted readers is this. A few of the amusing search engine results which led people to my blog over the last few days.

1. alexis bledel is hot in "she's gonna Break soon"

2. I feel very sorry for many times disturbing

3. And of course the immortal girls naked in public.
