Apparently this woman has some disorder where she has no protuding portion of her nose, just two holes.

wait there may be some non-white bread reason for her attractiveness.

Must be the status-grabbing effect of being able to brag at a bar to your friends, "Did I tell you I nailed this chick last night who had NO NOSE? It was freaky, man!"

P(didn't MJ's nose disintegrate off and now he has the same problem? so she's got someone to emulate)J

This morning, I awoke and tried to unravel the disturbing dream I had last night that I had cheated on the OddMan with a member of the New Jersey Nets.

Inside the dream, I kept wondering why was I having an affair, and why with Richard Jefferson, since he is a child.

Fully awake, I realized it was from watching Unfaithful last night, and then falling asleep to sports center while waiting for the OddMan to call from Canada.

Unfaithful is an interesting movie that could have been great had it been directed by anyone other than Adrian Lyne. Diane Lane is extraordinary and fully deserved all of the accolades bestowed upon her for that performance.

Just don't watch it too close to bedtime . . .


Edited to specify which Net, at the suggestion of one of our more perverse members (Leagl) who assumed I had an affair with the entire team.

I had two disturbing dreams last night... The first one was that my mom died while visiting some Eastern European country but that I couldn't get confirmation of her death because of some weird bureaucracy. Not likely to happen since my mom never travels out of the country, but still quite odd. The other one involved me having to climb out on a really unstable cliff/ledge to hit my golf ball that was perched up there. Once I got up there I realized that a golf game was really not worth dying over, so I starting trying to climb back down and was mid-descent when I woke up.

perhaps I should e-mail her and ask her why she is using copyrighted material (my post) without my permission in a publication designed to turn a profit?

I'll have to think about the first one if I have time. But as for the second one ... have you reached any big understandings or got new insight into something big or made a big decision lately (or is one hanging over your head)? Usually climbing up a cliff or reaching the top of a cliff and gaining a new insight means that you have had gained heightened awareness or understanding in your own life (whether good or bad), or you are about to. The fact it was golf that got you there in the dream is pretty irrelevant - it was just a vehicle.

The insight that you experienced in your dream (i.e. that golf is not worth risking your life), is probably similar to that which you have or will experience - e.g. you understand that something may not be worth what you initially think it is - or something like that.

The fact that you woke up while climbing down probably means that you are still trying to digest this understanding - if you are on the brink of this understanding - you will take a while to digest it. Expect to have more climbing/trekking/heights dreams in the future for a while. It looks as if it is something big you are thinking about.

That would be fair use.

Now this is interesting. I think your two dreams are tied together. This is what I think:

You are pissed off about something or other - you are having a hard time communicating to someone why you are pissed off - or someone doesn't seem to be understanding you lately, so you are frustrated. The first dream is all about this frustration. Death of a parent usually means that you fear some sort of loss, but I think in this case it is an outlet you are using to express some sort of anger.

So you're not mad at your mother - you're mad because of something going on in your life that (I think) involves some inability to communicate or reach understanding with someone. You dream that your mother dies so that you can have an acceptable outlet to express this anger. But it doesn't work because you get all snagged up in red tape. (I think actually that this red tape is your own invention - that you are scared of expressing this anger and so you are deliberately thwarting yourself).

So that dream gets you nowhere but makes you realize that you have to make a decision about what has got you angry (or your subconscious has made the decision already - it just has to tell your conscious mind about it), hence the next dream.

Wow, nice job there Heather. Not only did she not bother to report any of the items she got from me when she apparently wasted my time on an interview, she took a quote from Mr from the board, out of context.

I sent her an email asking her (a) why she bothered to interview me and (b) why she used MR's quote from the board out of context.


I know she interviewed Slave, Less and lord knows how many others. I have no problem with her story in and of itself, I just have to wonder why she bothered with all the research, and why she wasted all of our time.

That eight paragraph piece was touted as an in depth piece on the GA Findlaw debacle? That piece barely even gives a factual background on the history of the GA Boards. If I was virgin to the subject, I'd have learned absolutely nothing from that piece.

The brilliance of the piece is that it is so void of facts that it defies substance-based critique. Heather ought to write blurbs on new television shows for People Magazine because that's exactly what she wrote about Law Talkers.

Smith leaned over and spread them as wide as a desperate Tijuana hooker about to take it from a horse in front of a pack of drunken Americans for $500. Casting one's journalistic integrity to the wind for a miniscule bonus seems an awfully bad bargain... She probably could have kept more respect and wasted less effort for the check by just sucking off her supervisor.

Then again, what more can be expected in this economy? Everybody's a whore these days.

Interesting thoughts, gwincky. Thanks. I do have some communication issues, but if there is a momentous decision relating to that stuff it hasn't made it into my consciousness yet...

Here was my reaction - it'll be interesting to see how long it takes for SFTM to delete it. (Misspellings were required to get past West's filter.)
----------------------------------

SFTM: if I were you, I'd be pretty embarrassed by this article. If West is too pure of heart to be associated with GA's, it shouldn't have bought the site in the first place.

You were afraid you'd get sued, so you started deleting posts with content that you were afraid was too specific, defeating the purpose of the boards. You also deleted some smut. However, as I recall, some of the "potty mouth" words you deleted were "P@t@r Th@tt@m" and "www.l@wt@lkers.com".

Some folks decided that an alternative site would be more useful, and put a lot of hard work into setting it up. You plant an article smearing them, engaging in the very behavior you were afraid might happen here. You then accuse THEM of failing to "grow up." Here's a hint - your strategy for improving your corporate image is backfiring.

I just read Positively Fifth Street, by James McManus, and liked it. He went to the World Series of Poker (not sure I have the title right -- there are others) in Las Vegas to cover it, and used his advance to enter the tournament. Not worth reading if you don't want to read about poker. If you do, you might also pick up The Biggest Game In Town, by A. Alvarez, an account of the 1981 World Series.



Positively Fifth Street is just out, so you have to buy it in hardcover, but stores like Cody's are selling it for 30% off, and Amazon is selling it for 40% off.
