Outer Beauty, Inner Beauty
Thinking of doing some self-renovations? Here are a couple of sites to help you out.
Kim from the G-Spot is using this Virtual Model site to help her visualize her weight loss goals. You can use it for that or any number of fun games. Here's my model:
Accordian Guy linked to this life coaching assessment that's supposed to help you "clean up your life". I scored 33/100 and no wonder, the assessment has a startling bias against introverts, process-oriented people and anyone who is remotely intuitive. It's amazing that I scored as high as I did. But, you might find it useful, so enjoy!
Also:
Speaking of Mr. Accordion, he's also canvassing to find accomodations for Chris Turner who wrote that idiotic feature that appeared in Shift magazine when it was alive. You may recall that that I mentioned the article on the old blog:
REAL MEN DON'T EAT PASTICHE
Shift magazine is offering free copies again, this time to celebrate their tenth year of existence. A good thing, the free copies remind me why I'd never pay for the rag with hard cash. It's the writing, stupid! And the writing in Shift is as bad as it gets. Take this month's feature about "The Simpsons Generation" by Chris Turner as an example. It's a rambling, incoherent, muddled mess. Not so much an article as a collection of unformed thoughts and impressions. The author would probably argue that it's 'postmodern' (Postmodernism? That's the early 80s, right? Portland Building and all that hullabaloo???) but it's really just plain lazy. One third of the way through the article, he even drops the whole Simpsons angle and blathers on about Radiohead, the Internet, and a bunch of other stuff and tries to wrap it up at the end with some nonsense about the MAI and WTO. Any potential nuggets of wisdom and insight are buried under such a stinking load of self-indulgent slop, it's not worth the read ... but the clay sculptures of Simpsons characters are nice.
Somehow, Turner managed to expand the article into an entire freaking book.
... holy crap, I'M BACK!
