As with a low sucking sound it slowly disappeared again, Starbuck still gazing at the agitated waters where it had sunk, with a wild voice exclaimed—“Almost rather I had seen Moby Dick and fought him, than to have seen thee, thou white ghost!”
      “What was it, Sir?” said Flask.
      “The great live squid, which, they say, few whale-ships ever beheld and returned to their ports to tell of it.”

Moby-Dick, 1851

Guys, FURL sucks. It has sucked for years, and I'm sorry I've been using it. I have switched over to delicious; I would have done this much sooner, but they made it really difficult the last time I tried.


4-21-08  Archives
Uhmm, apparently archives haven't really been working since late 2006. THANX for the heads up guys! They are temporarily fixed, and will stay temporarily fixed until I migrate to new software/layout. I have said some hilarious things in the last 7 years, that future generations will feel lucky I preserved. Go check them out.

Woah, it's been 3 years since the last news update! Fuzzysquid now has a webclips icon for your iPhone! It'll automagically show up when you add FS to your home screen. Atom and RSS feeds have been available for a few years now, but I never made special mention of it.


1-14-05  LJ images
Since it seems to be popular, and it's been linked in a lot of different places besides here, I've decided to post the LJ Images page. At least in the news, at least for now. It's also getting some Google ads because you LiveJournal people are sucking up all my bandwidth (35% for that one page!)

Check out what I've been browsing: FURL.net bookmark archive. Not much commentary, relevance, or sequitur—but it's what's keeping this blog from turning into a meme dumpster.

My family loves buffets. I mean they really love buffets. All of them. My grandparents, all my various aunts and uncles, my parents. Every single time we get together, we have to go. They have no idea how much this kills me on the inside. On my personal scale of things that can be ingested (and kept down), I'm not sure there's a whole lot to the left of 'buffet food'. The entire concept of The Buffet is antithetical to the kind of life I labor to live. Troughs of lukewarm, overseasoned, glassy food, prepared by the gallon. And the people, milling about like livestock until the few high-ticket items get replenished. All you can eat, all you can waste.

Yesterday, after the cremation ceremony, we went to what had been my grandfather's favorite buffet. Sigh. The death of a family member should hurt, and this lunch certainly lived up to expectations. Family IS food, and I'm glad I have memories of my family cooking—simple meals that I'd take over any $300 celebrity-chef dinner.
