I have to say when it comes to Super Stupors I love Rumble Bee. It's like Kara Kent and the Wasp had a illicit affair when she was a student at cross-faction Middle School. Though I wonder if anyone else has found any favorites for themselves yet?

Also, before the flames: Yes, I realize the Wasp is a female. Said for irony and, let's be honest... Kara Kent and a woman capable of manipulating her size? Oh the possibilities.

	Subject:	Recipe Help
	Security:	Public

I had my wisdom teeth removed to day, about 12 hours ago in fact) I'm happy that I feel as well as I do. But at least until tomorrow I'm on an all liquids diet and then an all softy diet for four days, which means that my favorite foods (The kind you chew) are out of the question. Does anyone have any ideas about what I could fix, or ways to modify recipes to make them more friendly to my hurt mouth?

Just as a not I have a ton of soup, mashed potatoes (from a box only because the consistency is perfect from the start) pudding, jello, broth, boxed mac & cheese and of course meal replacement drinks. It all sounds good, right? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

PS: For the details, You can go here, complete with xrays!!!!!

Was browsing through some old stuff and found a wonderful bit of fan mail from my reviewers remorse entry about Lost in Translation.

Hi, I came across your blog because I was trying to find some evidence to support or disprove the theory that marriage is a cliche. I don’t think your post helped but I like your writing. Thanks.

The phrasing of this makes me laugh so hard. “You were of no real help to me, but thanks anyway.”

	Security:	Public

I will be in Los Angeles May 27-31, San Francisco June 1-2, and in Los Angeles again June 3rd - 9th and am accepting sessions in Hollywood during my stay. If you're interested in scheduling with me, drop me a line at Miss@JulieSimone.com (writing me here on LJ only proves you are not capable of following simple instructions, thus are not anyone with whom I would want to play)

I'm skilled in all areas of BDSM play except piercing. My favourite things to do in session are ball busting, CBT, OTK spanking, forced smoking/breathplay and corporal punishment.

	Security:	Public

I'm not convinced of the continued value of a commercial service that I have to pay for when politics have to be introduced into it in order for it not to absolutely suck balls.

	Subject:	What should an open protocol look like?
	Security:	Public

Since this conversation has gone kinda dead (and even the wiki, supposedly the center of attention, hasn't been updated recently), let's see about trying to foment some useful, if slightly tangential, conversation.

As I've previously said, I'm the loyal opposition here. I'm not doing Elsejournal per se -- that is, I'm not trying to build an alternate/distributed version of LJ. Rather, I'm building CommYou, which is a new service that is rather similar to LJ, but with more focus on the conversations rather than just the posts themselves. It's not currently open-source, and it's not likely to become so: it's a serious commercial venture, not a hobby thing.

That said, I do think open protocols are a genuinely good thing for everyone, and it's in my interest to try to help them come into being. I don't intend CommYou to be a walled garden -- my users *should* be able to get at their own conversation data from outside, and I should be able to import from other sources. Indeed, I think even LJ, despite being open-source, does a pretty crappy job of this: even backing up your journal is far more work than it should be, and god forbid you want to actually *read* your journal through other means. I want CommYou, at least in the long run, to do *much* better, with open APIs and open protocols -- a major piece, but only a piece, of a true conversation ecology.

So here's the question: what should a putative open protocol for such sites look like? What are the authentication requirements? What kind of data gets pushed around, and how does that happen? (Pushing? Polling? Both?) I think that's the first and most important question we have to answer if we're going to have sharing between conversation sites, whether they are micro-blogging/distributed style like Elsejournal or monolithic like CommYou or LJ. If we can figure out how we're sharing the conversations, we have a crucial first step towards figuring out how our sites work.

(Yes, this is a very technical question. But at least half the question is simply what should be shared, by whom, when, with what proofs -- much more about the high-level intents and designs, not just the nuts and bolts.)

Just added to the members' section : 57 pics shot by Lori Mann that have me in a latex open bra, latex gloves and a pair of thigh hi boots. Latex and boots are two of my favourite things.


       

In these pics I lounge, suck on my latex-covered fingers, do some self boot worship, masturbate, then smoke a cigarette :)




The video clip goes with last week's photo set and has me balancing on one leg precariously while a red ball gag forces me to drool and drool.

       

There's also a photo set I shot and rigged of NYC model Adena back in December of 2002. It was snowing outside and freezing, yet she looks so cute and cozy tucked away in the closet blindfolded and waiting like a good little sub.

       

More ropes were added to restrict her breathing, and anchor the ropes on her arms and thigh. Ropes over the blindfold add to the feeling of helplessness.

New Canadian Victoria Cross unveiled

I'm pleased to see they're going to be using the bronze from the Russian cannon captured during the Crimean war, mixed with Canadian metals, to make these. Hopefully not many will be awarded, or need to be awarded.

I'm kinda wanting to make pot roast this weekend, and I find AB doesn't have one listed on Good Eats Fan Page. There's a beef stew, but that's not quite what I'm looking for.

Any suggestions?
