Everybody must get stoned
I'll get back to tieblogging soon -- the wounds are too raw right now. (Just kidding! I just don't have time. I think I might wear a sweater today.) If you'd like to read about what I've been up to this weekend, you can catch up with Rose's medical saga here.
While briefly stopping in a Barnes & Noble between bedside vigils -- and, honestly, "vigils" seems like too dramatic a word for "chatting and solving nurikabe", but I got nothin' else -- I saw a game that struck me as somewhat risible: Goth: The Game of Horror Trivia.
The cata-GORIES (sic) (and Lorinne points out that just because one is making a crappy pun, that does not excuse one from having to spell "categories" correctly, so, double sic) include "Movie Mayhem, Music Macabre, Bloody Tales & Poetry, Alchemy, and Stiffs". This game strikes me as slightly sad, somehow -- I picture a bunch of grown-up goths being all, "I know that! The Cure's 'Killing an Arab' is based on The Stranger, by Camus! Wow, I remember I traded my copy of the first Flock of Seagulls album for that single. (Long pause.) Sigh. (Long pause.) Well, can we finish this game later? I need to go to bed -- early day at the accounting firm tomorrow!"
Posted by Francis at 11:18 AMI follow your blog from the LJ syndication, and so I can skip the ties on days that my eyes aren't up for that much stimulation. (And I can defer Six Things until my kids aren't hanging around the computer :-)
Don't let the idiots get you down.

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds- and/or Fuck the hatas!
Best wishes to Rose-
Posted by: samalee at December 4, 2006 01:52 PMPlease tell Rose people are keeping her in their thoughts, and remind her what a blessing it is to actually KNOW what is the matter and that help is coming, even when the pain is still there.
Posted by: Ruby at December 4, 2006 02:26 PMI love the ties. I sometimes wish I'd thought of your shirt-tie harmony concept myself. Except I don't like wearing ties. Still, it's quite challenging for a gent to establish a "look" that's original, fairly low-maintenance, and not too outlandish to wear everywhere. I salute you.
Posted by: Rubrick at December 4, 2006 04:13 PMAnother shirt/tie blogging fan chirping up here. I feel like it helps expand my color/pattern horizons. :)
Best wishes to Rose for feeling LOTS better soon!
Posted by: Janice in GA at December 4, 2006 04:36 PMIt baffles me that people treat bloggers as though they are forcing them to read (or even check!) their sites. "How dare you post that, what a waste of my time"? Excuse me? If you don't have time to check a blog because you run the risk of seeing something that doesn't interest you, don't "quit" and leave bitchy comments. Get an RSS reader.
Posted by: kostia at December 4, 2006 04:54 PMI think that people who feel the need to comment on people's blogs are all pathetic losers.
.....Wait a minute.....
Posted by: Dianna at December 5, 2006 03:43 PMI actually have the Goth game, which my in-laws gave me for Christmas a few years ago because I like horror movies and H.P. Lovecraft. It's so-so bordering on lame.
