millenium n. 1. A span of a thousand years. 2. A thousand year period of holiness during which Christ is to rule on earth. 3. A hoped-for period of joy, serenity, prosperity, and justice.

I vote for door number 3. To quote the pre-med dropout, Bill Murray, “It’s Miller time.”

And no, I do not drink that pisswater.

There’s something about the old Star Trek series that I still love. It’s funny, it’s campy and they had great characters and stories.
I also find myself really enjoying Farscape when I get the chance to catch it.

The documentary Diet for a New America is what pushed me over the edge into a vegetarian/vegan lifestyle. I also have the book but never made it through the entire thing. It’s by John Robbins of the Baskin Robbins family. I lasted as a vegan for all of three months and then as a vegetarian for about 2-2 1/2 years. I rebounded out of the lifestyle after I moved back to NY. And now I think it’s time to get back to it.

Isn’t there anyone that thinks the Dermal Tone Facial Exerciser is a ridiculous idea? Ever see the infomercial for this tazer-like contraption? I laugh hysterically every time I see them sitting round the table shocking this poor girls face while she winces and says, “Oh it feels so good.”. I know people have been using electronic muscle stimulators for years, but please, gimme a break. One of the women on this infomercial actually said, “It’s nice to know there is something you can do as you get older.” Yep, now you can shock your body into submission until you think you look 21 again. And as long as you continue to do it at least weekly for the rest of your life, you’ll be able to keep that lovely twinkle in your eye. Or was that a muscle spasm? I don’t want anyone to think I’m just picking on this company, it’s the idea in general that makes me laugh. Did somebody get this idea from watching the Bride of Frankenstein or what?

Well, my plan is for this to be a place to spew all the garbage in my head as well as play with my web design ideas. This will also be a daily/weekly diary of what’s happening with tree|trybe.

Not that much is happening with it at the moment. I’m still working on the design and interface. For some reason, I am making things hard on myself when it comes to Flash. I want something interesting and at the same time something that doesn’t look like all the other Flash sites I’ve seen. Plus I’m finally reaching a point of trying not to make it all perfect before I let it loose. I don’t think I can do everything that I want for the site, so maybe I can get some help from people who know more about the side of things that I don’t. I’m thinking of setting up the HTML side of it using chromeless windows from the microbians. I think it’s such a cool addition, and I really like the way it looks. I don’t think I’ll initially be able to take full advantage of it, but we’ll see.
