As if it wasn’t hard enough to come across as a normal person when you’re vegan, there are now proclaimed vegansexuals. Read and weep: news.independent.co.uk
To cheer you up, here’s a very pretty way to navigate photo albums:

Recently, i’ve been enlarging the font size on webpages because my eyes seem tired and can’t focus. My eyesight might be going down or I’m drinking too much coffee.
The only contact I have with women is giving them price information while at work. All the bathing is for nothing.
The homepage that I’ve been sketching at is still not done, and the more I think about it the less content there is that I actually want to put online – if a tree falls in the forest and you’re too uninterested to take it’s picture, are you still a photographer?
My social life revolves around playing chess at Kellys every thursday.
Fuck-fuckity-fuck. I’m bored, and 2007 was supposed to be the year I would not be bored. I’ll just write the year off, shall I?
On my way to work I saw this ad for an online dating service.
The copy for the ad seems poorly thought through: “Too late! He’s already taken” (“Försent! Han är redan upptagen”). I guess that the reaction they are looking for is -Oh noes, I have to get someone while I can!, but if you’re feeling lonely and therefore might be looking for someone to date, the slogan is more a taunt and a slap in the face; -Yes you are alone, and this guy I found online is taken as well, so you better get used to being a lonely loser, you loser.
Uno: The chess tournaments have started up for reals at kellys pub. Nice ambiance when you’re drunk and playing rabid timed chess against people who kick your ass. I finished third out of seven, and my nerves were on the ouside of my body much of the time.
I missed last thursday,and today there were five of us, and again I finished third. the good part is that I won against the guy who came first last time. fun fun.
Intermission: Women who use condoms are more depressed than those that don’t – apparently seamen is a mood stimulating drug.
Due: My cousin found a cheapo ticket from dublin to stockholm a week ago and I visited over the weekend. Lots of train-car-boat-ing, leaving me groggy because of locomotive sensitivity on my part. My brother is working on an old steamboat that tours the archipelago, and it seemed to be a stressful but fun job. I’m imagining all the scheming and intrigues going on on such a small vessel with a staff of 10-15. Who’s slept with whom, etc. I’m very predictable that way.
Intermission: The other day I woke up to find a sleeping bumblebee on my floor. I gently tossed it the hell out through the window.
Also, powernapping at work I dreamed about walnuts, prompting a co-worker to buy said nuts. An extract from walnuts can be used in lieu of viagra. What importance that has I don’t know.
a short video from iraq, published by the guardian. i’ve been out of adjectives to use when linking to iraqi stories (such as “sobering”, “gripping” etc) but watching the video is worth the five minutes.

i’m going to stockholm tomorrow because a cousin decided to show up on a surprise visit.
i just looked out the window, wondering at what seemed to be something shining red light in my face, and outside there are the most amazing pink clouds i’ve seen in a good while. considering that i’ve had a most boring and unproductive day, this actually made me happy. also, i’m listening to fight club, and it does get you going with all the back-handed carpe diem.
as a kid i never followed any tv-shows except mccall (known as the equalizer in english speaking countries), which became a family tradition friday evenings. i still remember me and my brother bickering over who got the most potato crisp.
once on a family trip to poland my cousin introduced me to northern exposure (last stop alaska in poland). apparently it was so celebrated there that poland became one of the biggest markets for the show, with fan clubs sprouting all over the place. i never saw it here in sweden.
anywho, i’m getting my grubby hands on the episodes thanks to the miracle of the internets, and when i watched the first two episodes i realised that i might have had a crush on the character played by janine turner, a very tom-boyish and strong willed character.
once i saw her in northern exposure again, i realised that i might have always been attracted to stubborn androgynous women. and this harks back to when i’m ten years old or something.
i recommend you all to get at least the first season and watch it. it’s reminiscent of twin peaks.
also, as a public service announcement, i would like to repeat my advice to you from a couple of weeks ago: floss regurarly, lest you want to choke on blood:
a couple of years ago i tried to talk my friends into either participating in or supporting a one-off issue of intergalactic porn. hardcore porn from all over the universe! a star trek bang-bus of sorts.
the support was mediocre; i got a few volunteers for camera and light-grip. no-one was interested in being in front of the camera or a fluffer. no imagination, some people.
i had tried to find some alien themed porn, but had drawn blanks except some exceptionally crappy photoshop jobs. today, curtesy of metafilter.com i got my grubby hands on some gray-on-woman action. not all that hot, but some of them are well done.
here’s the page: http://lerchbase.blogspot.com/2007/06/alien-sex.html
and from that page there are a few more racy pictures here:

(as you should know by now, don’t visit those pages with internet explorer. chances are that the alien porn will infest your computer with galactic sperm)
mom ended up throwing away all the glorious apple stuff that i had. no-one wanted to buy it, and she can’t really keep it. thanks to all that have written kind emails with your own geek-ass comments and nostalgia. it’s much appreciated.
the ad that i put up at 99.mac was well received, as illustrated by the screengrab below:
the only two things that i kept were an old apple plus mouse (the big boxy one) and an apple mousepad with the colourful apple logo. i shall cherish them.
