the damage report 004: nejlonharisnyás-asszony-szaga volt a jövőnek, el is múlt
Egyes gazdasági elemzők az új ázsiai kistigrist olyan nemzet kloákájából várják, akik egészen addig nem voltak hajlandóak kilépni az űrbe, amíg nem tudták legyártani a zérógében is harapható erjesztett, csípős káposztát. Ami felmelegítve, előre szólok, olyan ízű és illatú, mint egy régóta hanyagolt …
fetish, industrial and cyberpunk tweeters
MySpace without cleavages, Facebook without apps, last.fm without networking. This is how you’d look at Twitter if you’d live in a tunnel with acute hard-on syndrome for eyecandy, ADHD and honest love for click frenzy. That’s alright, some of us still do. We’d take a different approach and follow in the footsteps of Violet Blue who made a wonderful job drawing up a master list of sex tweeters – we’d do the same for industrial, gothic, fetish, steampunk and cyberpunk. Let us know if we’re missing someone!

Ugyan lehet, hogy a japánok nem kezelik prűden a szexuálkultúrájukat, mégsem sikerült az idén először megrendezett Tokyo Adult Exponak nullszaldóra kijönnie.

Vannak az életedben olyan pillanatok, amikor a világ, freeze frame, megszűnik mozogni, te pedig fényes, remegő szélű Polaroid-képen nézed, mi robbant be az életedbe éppen, a gondolatok hosszú szálon nyúlnak előre, a hangokat gondosan letekerték, a gondviselő Photoshopja pedig szemnyugtató pasztellbe kevert mindent, …

Psych-Quotes: The Nine Types of Intelligence
1. Naturalist Intelligence (“Nature Smart”)
Designates the human ability to discriminate among living things (plants, animals) as well as sensitivity to other features of the natural world (clouds, rock configurations). This ability was clearly of value in our evolutionary past as hunters, gatherers, and farmers; it continues to be central in such roles as botanist or chef. It is also speculated that much of our consumer society exploits the naturalist intelligences, which can be mobilized in the discrimination among cars, sneakers, kinds of makeup, and the like.
2. Musical Intelligence (“Musical Smart”)
Musical intelligence is the capacity to discern pitch, rhythm, timbre, and tone. This intelligence enables us to recognize, create, reproduce, and reflect on music, as demonstrated by composers, conductors, musicians, vocalist, and sensitive listeners. Interestingly, there is often an affective connection between music and the emotions; and mathematical and musical intelligences may share common thinking processes. Young adults with this kind of intelligence are usually singing or drumming to themselves. They are usually quite aware of sounds others may miss.
3. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence (Number/Reasoning Smart)
Logical-mathematical intelligence is the ability to calculate, quantify, consider propositions and hypotheses, and carry out complete mathematical operations. It enables us to perceive relationships and connections and to use abstract, symbolic thought; sequential reasoning skills; and inductive and deductive thinking patterns. Logical intelligence is usually well developed in mathematicians, scientists, and detectives. Young adults with lots of logical intelligence are interested in patterns, categories, and relationships. They are drawn to arithmetic problems, strategy games and experiments.

Sokushinbutsu (即身仏) were Buddhist monks or priests who caused their own deaths in a way that resulted in their mummification. This practice reportedly took place almost exclusively in northern Japan around Yamagata Prefecture. It is believed that many hundreds of monks tried, but only 24 such mummifications have been discovered to date.
Their diet was nuts and seeds for 1000 days, after that they only ate bark and roots while getting rid of body fat, After the 1000 days they drank a poisionous tea made from the sap of Urushi tree.
Finally, a self-mummifying monk would lock himself in a stone tomb barely larger than his body, where he would not move from the lotus position. His only connection to the outside world was an air tube and a bell. Each day he rang a bell to let those outside know that he was still alive.When the bell stopped ringing, the tube was removed and the tomb sealed. After the tomb was sealed, the other monks in the temple would wait another 1,000 days, and open the tomb to see if the mummification was successful.
If the monk was mummified he was instantly seen as Buddha and put on display. If the mummification wasnt successful then the monk wasn’t seen as one, yet still admired for his trying.
