Interesting... my journal is in the lj top 40. (according to Google's page-ranking methods) found here. I don't know if that's good, bad, or neither.

a few neat things on lately.

Can't seem to get to sleep... things weighing on my mind, both good and bad. ah well, I guess that's what my books are for.. Escape, and a natural tranquilizer.

Positives, The There-crew, esp. DN. The Golden Egg trophy by the way is very pretty, and will look stunning on the mantle at the lighthouse.

The B-Movie That Suits Me Is: Robot Monster: Although Blood Feast might deserve this title better, Robot Monster is known as the king of crappy movies. Unlike Blood Feast, this movie played in major theatres. One of the writers took it so seriously that when the movie got much deserved bad reviews, he attempted suicide. In his mind it was art. Find out which b-movie suits you.

I Am The 3rd Party: The Natural Law Party: You're a strange one, that’s for sure. Calling yourself the party based on science, your most interesting claim to fame is a heavy reliance on yoga in your national policy. Ignoring your kooky side, you sometimes make a lot of sense. And your leader is probably the smartest candidate out there. Too bad he's crazy. Find out what 3rd party you are!

By the way, book burning doesn't bother me, as long as the book is still in print, available elsewhere, and the ones aflame were purchased properly. Bad attitude? Maybe. I chalk it up with flag burning... freedom of expression, though incredibly stupid.

I Am The Sex Toy: Hi-Tech Masterpiece: Some say that I was developed in a top secret lab while others say I was developed by aliens for my probing capabilities, but only I know the truth! My mission here on earth is to launch a full out assault on your genitals with my spinning beads, vibrations, and clitoris teaser.

ad my entry hit with a spambot, so I've edited it and am posting the information here for future reference. I'm also reporting it to abuse at the ISP level. 5.5 megs of spam in 3 minutes warrants that.

As a result, I'll screenning any anonymous comments now, at least for a bit.

From the site -

This site is intended to allow science fiction fans to get an impression of the true scale of their favorite science fiction spacecraft by being able to compare ships across genres, as well as being able to compare them with contemporary objects with which they are probably familiar. The scales are based on meter-to-pixel ratios so that they are accurate on any platform. The background grid is divided into groups of ten, and larger groups of one hundred pixels, to allow for easy measurement. This site is only intended to compare the actual physical dimensions of the starships herein, and makes no claims as to any other aspect of these ships (firepower, speed, etc). Each of these genres is worthy of respect in its own right and no preference is given to any one genre. If you are interested in a certain vessel/being, I encourage you to view to film or read the books in which they originally appeared in all their glory. In time, I will provide the source information with each vessel to make it easier to find these sources.

The charts are intended to be interactive such that Internet explorer users may click and drag the starships within the charts to arrange them in whichever way they please. I am working on incorporating the same feature for Netscape and other web browser users. The site is very Graphics intensive by nature and therefore is targeted towards a higher bandwidth connection (DSL, etc). It will likely bog down dialup connections
