naw.. can't be!

My email box revealed the goodie that Lip Service is re-issuing their "classic" dagger print line!

This tickled me to pieces because I remember lusting after the original run when I was a 14 year old with minimal pocket money, and being delighted that finally swank* gear like this and this were finally within reach (actually, scratch that last one - I need another hoodie like a hole in my head :P)

Then I realized:

• I'm old enough to see trends from my youth coming around again
  
• Said trends are old enough to be called "classic"
  

Ever feel a white hair at the moment it sprouts? Damn....

And on top of this, I'm working on the pastel pink (pastel! the humanity!) Regency stays in the basement. Times they are a' changin'!

Daily Addendum: went and voted in local elections. They're STILL using Diebold out here. Grrr....


*Yeah, I know it's poorly made, and 20 years on it's mall-rat gear. Don't care - call it nostalgia :P

The worst is when the first person you knew from infancy gets married. That's when you can really feel those white hairs begin to grow!

Char.... who had this experience a few years back and said nephew and wife are now trying to have a baby of their own.

I remember my cousins when they were babies, and they're both in college now. Does this count?

[timcharmorbien.livejournal.com]

Yes, expect some new white hairs when they graduate from college. Just keep coloring your hair, only you and your hairdresser will ever know.
Myself, I'm proud of every white strand. I feel I earned them! :)

there you have the advantage with punk, it never loops back as it never got out of...uhum?...fashion and is ever present. punkers has always, are and will always look the same, apparently, and all the hair-colours are very well efficient in hiding white/grey hairs ;)))

Diebold? Really? We had punchcards yesterday. The chad jokes were making me crazy.

It took me 40 minutes to vote because I wasn't listed in the right book. They sent me to another location, then that one sent me right back. I had to prove my identity twice and then my ballot was put in a sealed envelope with my name, address and Driver's license number on it So much for secret ballot eh?

No wonder no one votes in this country.

You may have a point - if it's this much of a pain in the ass, I can see where folks don't want to go all the way to the polls to waste valuable time and feel foolish!

Trust me though - the paper way is still the best way. My district has called for a review of Diebold and some security features (this should be in commentary to my original LJ entry), but evidently are still using the machines in the meantime :(

You know, it seems to me that if this country is going to take the responsibility for bringing democracy to the world, maybe we ought to, like, I dunno, have it here first? Those diebold machines are a joke, the whole hanging chad thing is a joke, Anyone who thinks their vote is going to be counted correctly is kidding themself.

I want to know how much my vote is counting if the results are in early enough for printing the next morning when my ballot has to be checked to see if I'm legitimately at my address and didn't vote somewhere else. How quickly can they possibly have entered everyone's names to check against?

I'm happy because the initiative I cared about (fixing cages at the zoo) passed by a lot so my vote was probably irrelevant anyway but I did my part for the elephants and tigers anyway.

Diebold, eh? Didja know that Diebold's world headquarters is in none other than my home town? If you make it here in September we will go right by it when I pick you up at the airport. We can lean out our car window and go "pllllppppttthhh!!!" at the building.

You're next door to them? Can ya go smack them for me? They really are fscking up voting in this country!

Reality check: I'm no expert on computer security, so I forwarded the original article to D. (who IS an expert) for his take. Conclusions: it's bad, extraordinarily bad!
