Happy weekend all.

If you're looking for a cool way to find new music, try musicplasma. It's an weblike zoomable map of related musicians. Enter a band or artist name, and you'll see a web of similar music. Pretty cool, IMHO.

I find it hard to understand because I don't really know men that are threatened by it. I imagine three categories of man-opinion on SATC:

1) like it, like the flashy lifestyle, also spend too much money on shoes, love that Samantha is a big slut (This is mostly one guy, but I'm sure that there are more like him.)

2) think the show was kind of interesting and amusing on occasion, and had a few insights, but think that it was completely played out by the end, think that it displayed well stereotypical behaviour of the kind of women I often dislike (Charlotte and Carrie were the ones playing into these stereotypes in the show sometimes) and it got really annoying when every show was "[insert concept here] is like dating and living in New York. (This is me, and most of the men that I know.)

3) didn't like it, because they were threatened by it, didn't like the idea that women were powerful and talked about small dicks and bad sex and things like that...

I guess you're talking about category three, but I don't really see the "threatened" angle. The women on SATC were often really kind of pathetic and sad, as would be any character emulating a stereotype. It's not like any of the characters really had redeeming qualities or much character development; I was amazed how fluffy the show still was after 5 or 6 seasons. Things happened to them, but the characters were still just cardboard cut-outs of people. There certainly are men who are threatened by strong, powerful man-emasculating women, but I just don't see those kind of men being threatened by the women portrayed in this show. Maybe I just didn't watch it enough, but when I watched it, I saw four women just fawning over male relationships and making bad decisions. Furthermore, I don't really know women like that in real life. The ones that are kind of superficially like that (like to go to openings, have drinks with their friends, wear nice shoes, etc.) aren't nearly as neurotic or as obsessed with being loved by a man as those women are. I guess the whole point of the show was that they were still single in their mid-thirties, and that dating was tough for single women in their mid-thirties in NY. But from what I've seen, attractive, successful women who want to define themselves in terms of their relationships can get into long term relationships with men whenever they want, even if they're kind of neurotic and hard to deal with.

If you manage to make your posts just a little longer and a little more bring, Ty will start quoting you on politics. Nice work.

Maybe, but I find Ty goes for things that include a nice conspiracy hook, maybe mmm could brainstorm- it doesn't need to be rational.

It works for us, like you and Fluffy.

Humiliating? you ain't got room to bitch. consider Ty's life. At the end of the year he has to read sidd's review of whether Ty's work is up to snuff. I'd be ready to do some snuffing, no offense, pretty quick.

I know a thing or two about conspiracies, Hank, and it's all about connecting the dots. Learn to read between the lines. Subtext much?

I would normally say ix-nay on the outing-ay, but that's fucking funny. You have redeemed yourself for the week.

I have been traveling a good deal recently and my gf recently accepted a job in a different city. I'm tired of boring hotel porn, I don't feel like cougar hunting at Sullivans, inflatable Tina is gone, and my attempts to woo fb lovelies are always rebuffed when I reveal that in my current form I'm a junior high kid in Manitoba rather than the fabulously successful Texas attorney I appear to be. In short, I'm horny and I'm looking to expand available options.

Has anybody tried the Sapphire Seductress?



The review in GQ was positive overall and said it feels a little like having sex with an alien (presumably without the anal probing part, nttawwt), a prospect not altogether unappealing to me. Any other thoughts?

Seems it should be longer and clean up is a drag. Perhaps S2v.2 is not far off?

edited again to add non-PLF disclousre - this is a site for sex toys. Duh.

I'm selling the other one. Once fringe and I decided we wouldn't tie the knot, the whole distribution of assets made from plaster casts came up. i was able to keep man'f rights to the fringe 2004



I would feel wierd if some of you guys buy one, but the $$ would help me get over it.

Doesn't it use batteries? If not, that would seem to be an area ripe for improvement.

On yet another night my SO is traveling, I am just thankful that I have my rabbit.

Nope. No batteries. You still have to do the work. It looks kinda like jacking off with a sock, something I am sure you've never done.
