Would you rent to these people?

Lots of talk about "tattoo discrimination", online and in my daily offline life recently. And yeah, it's making me a cranky redhead.

Vince Hemingson did a great job yesterday with his take on it for Needled, which cente… Continue

Happy Holidays

Wishing all of you a wonderful holiday -- whatever you celebrate -- and a new year filled with love, fun, and adventure.

Drama -- I'm proud… Continue

I'm just finishing up the first quarter of my second year (I'm at Northeastern, which does a ridiculous quarter system), and about to do an internship in New Orleans.

I have a single tattoo as of now (I'm in high school still) i've been planning sleeves but probably wont get them till im in college. I'm considering going into International Law, and I saw youre in that field. id want to work with cooperate for a while, then I'd want to try to get into the ICC in The Hague.....butt my question is, can I still do that with Fullsleeves? thanks!

At 5:50pm on January 13, 2009, Bones said…: You're certainly not the only, and probably not the biggest, geek here. In fact we are hosting our 5th annual winter geekfest this weekend, packed with Star Wars, LOTR, and Harry Potter trivia. The copy of The Force in the Flesh that I got for my birthday last year will be proudly on display. Now if we could just pull ourselves away from our warlock and ice mage on World of Warcraft long enough to plan the party ...

At 7:20pm on January 8, 2009, Bones said…: Loved the tattoo mag lament. I hate thinking that people think I'm pervy when I go grab a stack of tattoo mags to flip through at Barnes and Noble or Borders.

At 11:54am on December 3, 2008, Bones said…: You can tell I've been reading student essays because of the lack of variation in my vocabulary in my previous comment :-(

At 11:17am on December 3, 2008, Bones said…: Loved the geeked out news review on Monday! I even loved the Vader shirt. Personally, I would love to see a Vader or Fett mask done sugar skull style.
