so I told my girlfirend i took this test that said im 4% hippie. i musta got teh four points for likin my meat raw. but anyhoow i caled her a hipie just to piss her off an she sais 'yeah wel im moare of a hippy then you because im intersted in off-the-grid selfsufficient living an your not'.

whcih she damn well knows my interests and what exactly about beign a postapocalyptic warlord isnt offgrid and selfsufficient? so i was all 'dude man admit im a hipy or ill eat ur liver'. you have to know how to relate to women.

update!

heck ive even got a celestial soul portrait!

New SF from Peter Watts: "The Things". It's John Carpenter's The Thing reimagined from the monster's point of view, à la John Gardner's Grendel.

It's better than Grendel, better than the classic John W. Campbell novella Carpenter based the movie on, better than the movie. 7,000 words of pure balls-out hard-edge Weird. It will leave marks on your brain. It's among the very best SF I've ever read. Go read it.

That is, if you "get" SF. Some don't.

Via.
