Seeking Gothic Wiccan

Having a scanner is fantastic. I think everyone should have scanners and websites. I really hope this guy finds the witch that makes this wand swish.

I like how he tries to increase his odds with a massive age range.

I'm pulling for you bud.

The acronyms people use in their ads are insane. I had to look up some because I couldn't even guess what they were trying to say.

SWPF - Single White Professional Female
HWP - Height Weight Proportional
WiWM - Widowed White Male
Wild Music - Although not an acronym I am still not sure what wild music is.

Island Grove circa 1940

I was linked to this set of images of the 1930s and 40s uploaded by the Library of Congress and the first dozen or so photos are of Brockton and surrounding areas.

Then I came to this photo marked as Skating, vicinity of Brockton, Mass.

And I knew it was of Island Grove almost immediately so I went ahead and took a picture from a similar location.

And to top it off I downloaded GIMP, which is like the poor man's photoshop and put my picture in place of the old one.

I thought it was pretty neat, but I'm easily amused. I got the idea because on a different photo a woman posts a current day image in the comments and the Library of Congress updated the image's information based on her photograph.

Library of Congress rules.

Well, this is new.

Sometimes I start tweaking a website, and then I go a little nuts.

This isn't what I intended the site to look like when I started, but I get to deleting things and there's no going back.

Is it vain to have a picture of yourself on your website like that ^

I don't have a huge selection of pics to choose from. All the pictures of me in China were taken by Steve's mom and she never sent me copies. So that one will have to do for now.

Edit: Replaced the pic with my ugly mug for random pictures I've taken. I have about 8 in cycle right now I think. At the time I write this all the images are of China, but I'll keep adding them until there is no possible way you can ever see them all.

Direct all complaints about the new look to someone@else.com.

Sort out your map

I was perusing the government's travel website because I like to see where in the world they consider unsafe to travel to. But check out their map.

Basically screw continents, we're going to chop this bitch up properly.

North and South America are "The West."
Europe is Europe.
Asia is, well, Asia is a bitch to categorize and group.
But how are you going to tell me Egypt is not in Africa.
What happened to the Middle East? Are we not calling it that anymore?
NESCA is lame.

Don't change my maps.
