Benception art by Mike Soule
Benception art by Mike Soule, originally uploaded by benchilada.Mike was one of the only people who drew something a week or two ago when I demanded that people draw something.
He went meta, dog love him. Maybe I look a smidge like Robert Downey, Jr., but since when was that a bad thing?

Tourette's Thundershits
Fast art about the perils of hip-twitching from Tourette's making food processing rather aggravating.
lemniscate (<3 + Nadja) = Life 2.0
Tonight I get to see Nadja Robot {aka
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
fairyarmadillo ) and then I never have to be away from her again. Massive thanks to everybody who's been supportive of the two of us through both the easy and the hard times. We couldn't have done it without you. Well, maybe we could have, but you made it a metric fuckton easier. :)
Do me a favor, my monkeys: love each other.
Love,
benjamin and Nadja
Wait, what KIND of news?
THINGS TO REMEMBER:
1) Tell everybody that Nadja "
fairyarmadillo" Robot is going to be moving in with me on the 2nd of January, after I spend my Christmas break from work with her in Oakland,2) Tell the aforementioned people, "Of COURSE we're engaged,"
3) Tell them same folks that my Ladybee and I will get married exactly when the mood hits us; the celebration with friends will be after,
4) This list.
Love,
benjamin
Jump on in, the electrical impulses are fine...
So far, over 55 people have participated in the latest
MONKEY ROLL CALL!
I highly encourage you to click on that link and go over to that entry not only if you haven't posted yet, but also if you haven't looked at it in a while.
These are some of the faces of your social network.
Scroll through the comments. Look at the faces and associate them with the usernames you've always seen.
Read who they are, what they do, what they're going to do, where else they live online...
Do this in your Facebook, Flickr, et cetera. Find faces for the names. See the people behind the phosphor dots. Talk to 'em.
I know for a fact that at least a dozen of my readers have met in real life after meeting on my LJ and then arranging to hang out with each other and that's FANTASTIC.
And I've met...over thirty? Forty? of the people from here and Flickr and Orkut, all of them amazing.
I feel like I finally have some plans for my online presence again, from writing to art to...a few new features and some I abandoned.
Help me make it stick this time, after so many months of fail.
And you know what? The future, for all of its bad shit, really kicks ass sometimes.
Go internet.

PS - Since I forgot to add this last time: Last.fm / Flickr / YouTube / Delicious (still have some to add) / Twitter / LibraryThing / Facebook

I don't remember what I was supposed to forget
Anybody who knows me even vaguely knows that I'm forgetful, to an almost preposterous degree. Seriously, we're talking somebody who can't remember even the
Sara chafes in her regrettable position as "Person Who Has To Remind benjamin To Do Things Like Wipe" and so last night I drew this for her.
I then scanned it in on a public terminal at a library, on a scanner that apparently decided that white paper is gray.
I also penciled it too darkly, resulting in...
WHY AM I APOLOGIZING TO YOU?!

It's been at least 8 months, so I'm allowing myself one stupid meme:
Take a picture of yourself right now
Don’t change your clothes, don’t fix your hair… Just take the picture
Post the picture with no editing
Post these instructions with your picture
IF YOU FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS LIKE A SHEEP, YOU BETTER POST A COPY OF THE PHOTO IN THE COMMENTS HERE, TOO.

I love my wife, even when she's mean to me.
REGARDING THIS PHOTO:
"Gee, I didn't know that your cheekbones had visual impairments as well. I suppose that cheeks need to see, too."
God I love her.
Even when she's being a rabid buttpirate.

THERE ARE FUCKING HUNDREDS OF YOU.
You know what I look like, so I think it's only fair that you gizzus a photo of you.
Lurkers, this means you, too.
EDIT: I'd love to see photos of the geek in you, no matter what brand.
Also, tell me something that you love doing, or something that you think really makes you who you are.
Make it interesting, like you.
I strongly encourage discussion amongst each other based on photos / comments that will be appearing.
Hell, convince your friends to leave photos and comments, too.
I am not responsible for any NSFW photos that anybody leaves.
I also neither encourage nor discourage these photos.
Read the comments section at your own risk.
Post tits and/or cock at your own risk.
If you must, then only show yours.
As a bonus / punishment, here's another photo of me, one so strange we just had to call it...
SEXING THE X-WING!
Once your blindness wears off, go ahead and show us you.

Okay, I've got a stack of content for you and was gonna have some this morning but was a little beat after spending three-and-a-half hours at El Toro Restaurant last night.
As such, we're turning to![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
fixer for today's moral dilemna:
---------
"So if I were to waterboard someone...would it be simply assault/battery? I mean it can't be considered attempted murder cause that would infer torture.
Unless we have fallen so far as a country that some laws are only active when the citizens act as opposed to those employed by the government. Wait, we have. But would that apply here?
What charges would be filed against me if I decided consciously to waterboard someone I caught breaking into my home, to find out why they were there, and who sent them?"
---------
I encourage you to read the cultural history of waterboarding, too.
As always when we discuss things like this, insulting or degrading comments will be frozen or deleted.

We had The Boys--icayrus and porpentine_4 and city_of_dis--over for pot roast with carrots and onions, mashed potatoes, Mirabelle bread, ice cream, homemade snicker doodles, and various intoxicants.
We also played a mind-numbingly hilarious game of Beyond Balderdash.
Much fun was had and the following was said:
--------
benchilada: Jeez, have you not had enough to drink yet?
icayrus: Apparently not, since I'm still bitchy.
He speaks only The Truth.
What a great night.
I'm drunk.

First of all, a hearty welcome to the...good lord, over forty new people who came here from my post over in ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
food_porn. I hope I can keep you entertained! You came at a good time, as it's time for another of my semi-regular features, this one about my myriad of neurological disorders. So...
Hey kids! Fuckbrain Comix!

Well, being sick for a week-and-a-half prior to Halloween really kinda crushed most of my costuming hopes (as did the prices of items I needed to do my primary costume idea), so I ended up with more props than I did actual costume.
It wasn't HORRIBLE, for having been cobbled together on such short notice and with no money and after/while being sick.
It was still one of my weakest costumes ever. Still, at least I did something.
You may be asking yourself what's going on here. I mean, it's clear that I has a bucket, but...
Well, you see...
It was funny / sad how few adults got any of this, and how many young people got the stuff without me saying a word.
