“Meat From Accused Killer’s Farm May Have Contained Human Remains”
Life sure is stranger than fiction at times. The horror film fan in me just couldn’t resist grinning at this news story. Yeah, I’m a sick person. “Motel Hell” anyone?

I have been letting my hair grow back out. Alas, I keep forgetting how unkind heredity has been to me. Grrr. I may just shave it again.

Since it’s the new craze (and tests are sorta fun) …

Favorite Qualities
– A man over 35 is probably getting a little old for your tastes
– Very handsome men
– So-called “Ecto-Mesomorphs,” with narrow chins and nicely angular faces
– Dark brown hair
– Wavy hair

Favorite Looks
There’s something about “Outdoorsmen” that obviously appeals to you. These guys have a tanned, weathered look, along with ruggedly handsome features. You don’t need them to be “pretty” or even “very handsome,” but you are drawn by the masculinity and free-spirit they convey. These are not your “button down,” “don’t get your hands dirty” sort of men. Another of the “looks” that you consistently noticed has been described as “The Boy Next Door.”

What Is Your Approach to Judging Which Men Are Handsome or Very Attractive?
Very Picky: It’s official: You’re “picky.” The fact is you are drawn to the most handsome of the handsome. You know what you like in men and are more selective than most men your age. Your tastes seem instinctual. You’d make a great casting agent, because you have a good eye for men who have “star quality.” In real life, your high standards may be an obstacle for you. It’s hard to find a man with the strong features you like, who’s also well-rounded in other ways. Still, you know the importance of a real physical “spark” in a relationship, and aren’t willing (or able) to settle for less. The challenge is finding a man who really wows you physically, even if he’s not the most handsome man in the room.

I’m going to gone to Atlanta this coming Saturday/Sunday for the 2004 Sunbelt Graphics Show. The bad news about all this is that I’m gonna be stuck with the boss … so, there will be no fun with any wild Atlanta night life (or maybe an escort for some … er, well you know). Grrr. The good news is that I will get to be a big nerd on my way back Sunday and stop at the Apple store in Lenox Square. Whee!

Much to the disappointment of the school children (and teachers) of Haywood County, no snow has fallen yet … though the forecasters are still saying we’re gonna get it.

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG HAS ISSUED A WINTER STORM WARNING FOR SWAIN… HAYWOOD… MADISON… YANCEY… MITCHELL… AND AVERY COUNTIES IN NORTH CAROLINA. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT WILL MOVE ACROSS WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA TUESDAY. SNOW IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN AROUND DAYBREAK… WITH SNOWFALL BECOMING HEAVY DURING THE MORNING. SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE 4 TO 6 INCH RANGE… WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS… ESPECIALLY IN HIGHEST ELEVATIONS NEAR THE TENNESSEE LINE. HEAVY SHOWERS… EVEN SOME THUNDERSTORMS… COULD OCCUR CAUSING VERY HEAVY SNOWFALL RATES. THIS COULD CAUSE LOCALIZED ACCUMULATIONS OF SEVERAL INCHES IN A SHORT TIME.

They’re calling for snow after we’ve had “short sleeve weather” for the past few days. Grrr.

Material Goods = Happiness

In other gay news:
You would think that a certain 23-year-old straight fella would have better things to do than spend Friday night and Saturday night with the gay friend that is “certifiable” over him.

Yeah. There was a rally in support of the “Sanctity of Marriage” in Asheville on Saturday. Of course, gay rights supporters showed up in protest of the rally and eleven were arrested. The reasoning being that the gay rights folks didn’t have a permit to assemble. Good grief. Last week, flyers promoting the damn thing started showing up here in Waynesville. I had thought about going and didn’t. Napping on the couch was more important.

Grrrr. Been a really crazy week on this end. Maybe you could tell by the lack of posts or exciting porn/horror stuff. My day job has been nutty with work and new duties piling up quicker than George Bush’s lies. Freelance has been busy as well with four (a large number for me) that need to be done by the end of the weekend.

It’s also not been a good mental health week. You might have been able to tell that as well. Grrr. But, then again, when has it ever been a good mental health week. My cousin is back on to advocating “happy pills.” Bah on being medicated.

So, here are some more hiking photos to bore you …
