    Ohayo gozaimasu, my little punishers! I hope all is well with everyone. We got a good soaking overnight in the Philly area, and we figure to see more rain from Thursday night through the weekend as Tropical Storm Joaquin comes calling. That forecast came after I heard a weatherguesser say yesterday afternoon that we can use the rain. Maybe I'm being irrational, but it seems to me that every time a forecaster says "We can use the rain", the end result is almost always a deluge, then we have to worry about flooding, especially down at the Jersey Shore which had already been battered. Most annoying!

    I saw this loud american guy today who kind of rubbed me the wrong way, buying Magic the Gathering packs in a bookshop here in the UK. He was just kind of barking orders at the woman employee helping him saying "yeah get that one" , not explicitly rude, but kind of smug and demanding. He had an expensive snowboarding ish outfit on, and this self satisfied,sure of himself, look...he just looked like the kind of person who never wonders about life or thinks about anything, just happy his role in life is to wear expensive clothes and buy expensive "Magic" packs.

    Ohayo gozaimasu, my little punishers. I hope all is well with everyone. Well, for folks who live on the east coast like me, I'm sure stomachs are just a little tighter than normal this morning as Joaquin is now a category 3 hurricane with no certain forecast as to what sort of track it will take, especially with forecasts having it making landfall anywhere between the Carolinas and Chesapeake Bay. For certain the New Jersey shore will probably face some trouble from Joaquin, and they've already had problems from a recent storm having caused beach erosion. Ahh, hurricane season, I hate it.

    Mine, as well (Eleven days until I hit the AARP number). And, yeah, September seemed to zip right by. I keep asking myself why it's so cold at night and then think "because it's October you idiot, not August".

    Thought I'd share this having just watched Bulowski: Born Into This again. I didn't censor it. Hopefully that's not gonna catch any bad publicity.

    The Crutch
    By Charles Bukowski
    Love Is A Dog From Hell

    Too much
    too little
    or not enough

    too fat
    too thin
    or nobody

    laughter or
    tears
    or immaculate
    non-concern

    haters
    lovers

    armies running through streets of blood
    waving winebottles
    bayoneting and fucking virgins

    or an old guy in a cheap room
    with a photograph of Marilyn Monroe

    many old guys in cheap rooms without
    any photographs at all

    many old women rubbing rosaries
    when they'd prefer to be rubbing cocks

    there is a loneliness in this world so great
    that you can see it in the slow movements of
    the hands of a clock

    there is a loneliness in this world so great
    that you can see it blinking in neon signs
    in Vegas, in Baltimore, in Munich

    there are people so tired
    so strafed
    so mutilated by love or no
    love
    that buying a bargain can of tuna
    in a supermarket
    is their greatest moment
    their greatest victory

    we don't need new governments
    new revolutions
    we don't need new men
    new women
    we don't need new ways
    wife-swaps
    waterbeds
    good Columbian
    coke
    water pipes
    dildoes
    rubbers with corkscrew stems
    watches that give you the date

    people are not good to each other
    one on one.
    Marx be damned
    the sin is not the totality of certain systems.
    Christianity be damned
    the sin is not the killing of a God.

    people are just not good to each other.

    we are afraid
    we think that hatred means strength
    we think that New York City is the greatest
    city in America.

    what we need is less brilliance
    what we need is less instruction

    what we need are less poets
    what we need are less Bukowskies
    what we need are less Billy Grahams

    what we need is more
    beer
    a typist
    more finches
    more green-eyed whores who don't eat your heart
    like a vitamin pill

    we don't think about the terror of one person
    aching in one place

    alone
    untouched
    unspoken to
    watering a plant
    being without a telephone that will never
    ring
    because there isn't one.

    more haters than lovers

    slices of doom like taffeta

    people are not good to each other
    people are not good to each other
    people are not good to each other

    and the beads swing and the clouds cloud
    and the dogs piss upon the roses
    and the killer beheads the child like taking a bite
    out of an ice cream cone
    and the ocean comes in and out
    in and out
    under the direction of a senseless moon

    and people are not good to each other.

    Ok, I just got back from the festival. Last year it was awesome, this year it SUCKED. There was only like 5 vendors there and 4 of them were tiny booths in nearly vacant classrooms. There was half the people there than the number of people there last time, barely any interesting panels, overly priced stuff, it was a mess. I didn't like it at all.

    I had a nice funny proposed thread made. But I sorta thought....I better hold off awhile on it. I started to call it , "I'm Losing Interest In Eyeing Women as Sex Objects" . Where I discuss being a teenager and checking out naked women online. And how my life has changed and It no longer drives me. I thought....I'm sure a Mod will see that headline and delete it without a second thought.
