Blackbird singing in the dead of night

The things people think up...

aviationwolf: Did you ever think that if people really had wings (like fairies or something) that they would be made out of flesh? Sort of like birds wings are made out of feathers?
tmhsiao: you mean like bat's wings?
tmhsiao: it would follow, yes...
aviationwolf: yeah...so all these fairy pictures? Wouldn't be so attractive, would they....
tmhsiao: then there would be the possibility that they'd grow hair.
aviationwolf: or costumes...
tmhsiao: and make the whole "back hair" phenomenon even more gross.
tmhsiao: well, sheer fairy wings can be flesh, they'd just be sheer flesh.
aviationwolf: so how do you make flesh wings for a Dragoncon costume?
tmhsiao: leather?
aviationwolf: Then it's leather
tmhsiao: still fleshy.
tmhsiao: gotta find a soft leather.
aviationwolf: Skin harvesting for fabric is probably illegal
tmhsiao: yes.
aviationwolf: and thin I think
aviationwolf: it was just a stray idea and I thought I would share
tmhsiao: makes sense.
tmhsiao: you should make them hairy wings.
aviationwolf: oh, I'm not making wings...
aviationwolf: idea was the wrong word
aviationwolf: stray thought
tmhsiao: well, I'm just saying
tmhsiao: if you ever get the urge to make wings for a costume.
tmhsiao: make them hairy flesh wings.
aviationwolf: but what about winged cats....shouldn't their wings be hairy? Instead, I always see them with feathers
tmhsiao: preferably oddly curled hair.
tmhsiao: so it looks all kinked and everything.
tmhsiao: winged cats = bats.

I'm pretty sure "make them hairy flesh wings" is a sentence that has never been uttered in the long, gruesome history of human civilization, but I may be wrong.

Wood Monkey

In anticipation for the upcoming New Year, I finally posted the pictures from the China trip. Yes, that trip was in the beginning of November. I am a lazy, complacent git.

In other news, there's a new service called Dude, Check this out--it's a combination Blog/Social Network. Unfortunately, it works primarily on Internet Explorer, but my own page lists something I threw together for Mozilla. Now I just gotta get something going for Opera...

Gong Xi! Gong Xi!

May everyone have a lucky and prosperous Year of the Wood Monkey.
