Stunned and Disgusted
It is a dark day for America. I'm not a liberal democrat by any definition. But I have to confess that I find Obama's candidacy exciting and different. I'm disgusted that the clinton machine has steamrolled him in New Hampshire. Everything about the clintons oozes phoniness and greasy self-absorbed self-righteousness. There is nothing at all about their character that balances the complete lack of moral guidance and complete lack of personal integrity. I find them to be the embodiment of everything that is wrong with American politics.
In stark contrast is Barack Obama. He is inspiring. He is someone I like watching. I don't agree with a thing he says, but I find him to be such a phenom and harbinger of difference that I cannot for the life of me understand why ANYONE would wish to travel back in time to 1992 and relive the depressing self-absorption and obsessive me-generation of the clintonian years.
The crying fit did it, I'm told. And yet no matter how many times I watch that performance, I can't figure out how any self-respecting American can observe clinton in all her fakeness complain that life for her is hard and actually believe she is genuine. Nothing about the clintons is genuine. Any of the advisors that have spoken candidly about the clintons note as a primary character trait their complete lack of honesty and that every single word and action is political in nature. Everything she does is engineered to play on emotion or place a doubt or raise a hope. She is the definition of fake. I hate her with such a passion that I would become a citizen and vote for Obama if I thought it would mean that no one named clinton would ever occupy the White House again.
Shock. Disgust.
How can machine politics so decisively overcome and defeat such a wave of hope and optimism? I don't think I'll ever understand people who support the clintons. People who think of the 1990s as the halcyon days. I just don't understand people who think of the clinton years with nostalgia. It doesn't make any sense at all to me.
They just won't go away.
I fear for the Republic when a hillary clinton can defeat a Barack Obama.
Now we have to suffer through her irrepressible 'comeback kid' nonsense where she talks about how she's a real person who has a heart and deeply wants to make a difference and how she has 35 years of experience and blah blah blah. God help us all.

Codernaut says: nothing
jendean2003 says: well something must have happened
Codernaut says: i just hate people
Codernaut says: they think they're funny
Codernaut says: but they're not
Codernaut says: they think they're being polite
Codernaut says: but they're not
Codernaut says: most people are ignorant, rude and stupid
jendean2003 says: are you sure nothing happened
Codernaut says: the cube i'm in at this client is one of like 4 in a square
Codernaut says: that all face each other, kind of thing
Codernaut says: so in the middle there is an open space with some chairs
Codernaut says: and there are 3 other people in this cube area
Codernaut says: and they're all moving out to make room for more ibm portal people
Codernaut says: on this project
Codernaut says: so the guys who are moving are all ibmers too
Codernaut says: and they've been here for like 5 years
Codernaut says: one guy for 11 years
Codernaut says: and so they know everyone at --client redacted-- and what not
Codernaut says: and other people who are on their project are always hanging out here
Codernaut says: shooting the shit
Codernaut says: and it is annoying
Codernaut says: and there is a tragic lack of chairs
Codernaut says: so frequently someone is using my chair when i come back from someplace
Codernaut says: so i go get coffee about 20 min ago
Codernaut says: and i come back with a coffee, fruit cup and bottle of water - hands full
Codernaut says: and they're all hanging out and laughing and making stupid comments about golf and the one guy's putter being bent or something
Codernaut says: and this one guy is in my chair
Codernaut says: and he's laughing and cackling and hacking.
Codernaut says: like he was drunk
Codernaut says: older smoking type
Codernaut says: ha ha ha ha, his putter was crooked, ha ha
Codernaut says: and he's in my chair
Codernaut says: and so i maneuver around all the people who can't be bothered to get out of my way
Codernaut says: which is fine. they're mostly proto-human anyway and don't know any better
Codernaut says: and the guy knows he's in my chair, cause he's in my cube
Codernaut says: and he doesn't get up
Codernaut says: he's just looking at me with this stupid look on his face. again, like he was drunk
Codernaut says: so i say, could I have my chair please?
Codernaut says: and he says 'no!'
Codernaut says: and then he laughs and laughs and cackles and everyone thinks that is the funniest thing they've heard all day
Codernaut says: fucking idiots
jendean2003 says: i hope you told him to fuck off
Codernaut says: i mean, it wasn't even funny. if he had said something funny, i would have laughed
Codernaut says: i went into 'disapproving dismissal' mode
Codernaut says: said nothing. didn't even ackowledge that he said anything
Codernaut says: no smile, no eye contact, nothing
Codernaut says: like he didn't exist
Codernaut says: total dismissal of him as a human being
Codernaut says: and i put my stuff in my cube
Codernaut says: on the desk
Codernaut says: now, everyone else got the message.
Codernaut says: the talking stopped and they began shifting around in obvious embarrassed discomfort
Codernaut says: and then i paused to allow the full freeze to descend on the chair dickhead
Codernaut says: and he got up and left
Codernaut says: and as he was leaving he said 'jeez'
Codernaut says: like he was upset that i didn't think he was funny
Codernaut says: so i'm satisfied a little bit that the chris 'cold brush-off of death' got to him
Codernaut says: i love having the ability of making everyone suddenly uncomfortable
jendean2003 says: you do have that amazing ability
Codernaut says: i mean, it was a mood killing chill that i brought on
Codernaut says: and everyone left
jendean2003 says: that's my man
Codernaut says: god, just reliving it makes me feel better

Site Update
So I've decided to combat comment spam. So as of now, commenting is available to registered users. Otherwise the comment link is inactive. Registration is free, mostly meaningless, and allows me to control some things about my site. There is no sinister data mining going on, feel free to lie about everything when you sign up.
Also added the ChrisCam ImageVault to the members section. There's only one album in there at the moment (the CameraShy album containing all the webcam images from over the years), but I have thousands of pictures to organize and post. I've got family photos, baby photos, wedding photos, random photos, naked photos, oh yeah. I got it ALL. But you can only see em if you are a C1 member of the site. Again, it's easy, hassle-free and allows me to target content to people who care.
So go register and let the fun fun fun begin.

Authors Wanted
So I am going to entertain the notion (indeed, entertain the existence) of other opinions. I'd like to see if I can get some alternative points of view in this space. So anyone out there who is interested in writing little posts from time to time, give me a shout.

The funniest show ever made has got to be Most Extreme Elimination Challenge on SpikeTV. It's basically a redubbed Japanese game show. Extremely funny and chock full of adult humor. Plus lots of people getting hurt. You just can't lose with that combo. Tonight there's a marathon of em starting at 9pm.

The Army guy to the right was inspired by my new favorite girls. Although I have to admit I already had the original picture on my computer and it does say "fuck" instead of "hell" as it does on their website, the concept of making a statement from the picture seems to be entirely their idea and I am blatantly ripping it off.

There is a fantastic site
There is a fantastic site that you may have heard a little bit about on the news. It is called We Love The Iraqi Information Minister and it contains some absolutely classic material. Before it vanishes, I wanted to plagerize some of the greatest quotes of the war from their website. All quotes of Muhammed Saeed al-Sahhaf (or M.S.S):
"There are no American infidels in Baghdad. Never!"
"My feelings - as usual - we will slaughter them all"
"Our initial assessment is that they will all die"
"I blame Al-Jazeera - they are marketing for the Americans!"
"God will roast their stomachs in hell at the hands of Iraqis."
"We have destroyed 2 tanks, fighter planes, 2 helicopters and their shovels - We have driven them back."
"They're coming to surrender or be burned in their tanks."
"No I am not scared and neither should you be!"
"We are not afraid of the Americans. Allah has condemned them. They are stupid. They are stupid" (dramatic pause) "and they are condemned."
"The authority of the civil defense ... issued a warning to the civilian population not to pick up any of those pencils because they are booby traps," he said, adding that the British and American forces were "immoral mercenaries" and "war criminals" for such behavior.
"I am not talking about the American people and the British people," he said. "I am talking about those mercenaries. ... They have started throwing those pencils, but they are not pencils, they are booby traps to kill the children."
"We have them surrounded in their tanks"
"The American press is all about lies! All they tell is lies, lies and more lies!"
"Lying is forbidden in Iraq. President Saddam Hussein will tolerate nothing but truthfulness as he is a man of great honor and integrity. Everyone is encouraged to speak freely of the truths evidenced in their eyes and hearts."
"because we will behead you all"
"Let the American infidels bask in their illusion"
"I triple guarantee you, there are no American soldiers in Baghdad."
Britain "is not worth an old shoe"
"we have given them a sour taste"
Of US troops: "They are most welcome. We will butcher them."
"We will welcome them with bullets and shoes."
"We are in control. They are in a state of hysteria. Losers, they think that by killing civilians and trying to distort the feelings of the people they will win. I think they will not win, those bastards."
“We have placed them in a quagmire from which they can never emerge except dead”
"Washington has thrown their soldiers on the fire"
"I speak better English than this villain Bush"
"These cowards have no morals. They have no shame about lying"
"They're not even [within] 100 miles [of Baghdad]. They are not in any place. They hold no place in Iraq. This is an illusion ... they are trying to sell to the others an illusion."
"Their failure in this regard is abysmal. They want to tell the world changes thought - as a matter of fact, they do not respect the world, they want to tell taxpayers and the domestic public to keep them deceived sentence incomplete as heard. We will embroil them, confuse them and keep them in the quagmire. They have begun to tell more lies so that they might continue with the perpetration of their crimes. May they be accursed."
"We will kill them all........most of them."
"They are like a snake and we are going to cut it in pieces."
"They do not even have control over themselves! Do not believe them!"
Called Americans and Brits "Tarateer"– In Iraqi slang, Tartoor means a guy full of farts (hot air)
"they are nowhere near the airport ..they are lost in the desert...they can not read a compass...they are retarded."
"Faltering forces of infidels cannot just enter a country of 26 million people and lay besiege to them! They are the ones who will find themselves under siege. Therefore, in reality whatever this miserable Rumsfeld has been saying, he was talking about his own forces. Now even the American command is under siege."
"They tried to bring a small number of tanks and personnel carriers in through al-Durah but they were surrounded and most of their infidels had their throats cut."
"Our estimates are that none of them will come out alive unless they surrender to us quickly."
"We made them drink poison last night and Saddam Hussein's soldiers and his great forces gave the Americans a lesson which will not be forgotten by history. Truly."
"On this occasion, I am not going to mention the number of the infidels who were killed and the number of destroyed vehicles. The operation continues"
"We're giving them a real lesson today. Heavy doesn't accurately describe the level of casualties we have inflicted."
"I can say, and I am responsible for what I am saying, that they have started to commit suicide under the walls of Baghdad. We will encourage them to commit more suicides quickly."
"Their infidels are committing suicide by the hundreds on the gates of Baghdad. Be assured, Baghdad is safe, protected."
"NO", snapped Mr al-Sahaf, "We have retaken the airport. There are NO Americans there. I will take you there and show you. IN ONE HOUR!"
"We defeated them yesterday. God willing, I will provide you with more information. I swear by God, I swear by God, those who are staying in Washington and London have thrown these mercenaries in a crematorium."
"Please, please! The Americans are relying on what I called yesterday a desperate and stupid method."
"They will be burnt. We are going to tackle them"
"We blocked them inside the city. Their rear is blocked"
"Desperate Americans"
"Today we slaughtered them in the airport. They are out of Saddam International Airport. The force that was in the airport, this force was destroyed."
"We went into the airport and crushed them, we cleaned the WHOOOLE place out, they were slaughtered"
"Yes, the american troops have advanced further. This will only make it easier for us to defeat them"
"Their casualties and bodies are many."
[On surrenders] "Those are not Iraqi soldiers at all. Where did they bring them from?"
"Just look carefully, I only want you to look carefully. Do not repeat the lies of liars. Do not become like them. Once again, I blame al-Jazeera before it ascertains what takes place. Please, make sure of what you say and do not play such a role."
"Search for the truth. I tell you things and I always ask you to verify what I say. I told you yesterday that there was an attack and a retreat at Saddam's airport."
"You can go and visit those places. Nothing there, nothing at all. There are Iraqi checkpoints. Everything is okay."
"This boa, the American columns, are being besieged between Basra and other towns north, west, south and west of Basra....Now even the American command is under siege. We are hitting it from the north, east, south and west. We chase them here and they chase us there."
"By God, I think this is rather very unlikely. This is merely a prattle. The fact is that as soon as they reach Baghdad gates, we will besiege them and slaughter them....Wherever they go they will find themselves encircled."
"Listen, this explosion does not frighten us any langer. The cruise missiles do not frighten anyone. We are catching them like fish in a river. I mean here that over the past two days we managed to shoot down 196 missiles before they hit their target."
"Blair...is accusing us of executing British soldiers. We want to tell him that we have not executed anybody. They are either killed in battle, most of them get killed because they are cowards anyway, the rest they just get captured."
"They fled. The American louts fled. Indeed, concerning the fighting waged by the heroes of the Arab Socialist Baath Party yesterday, one amazing thing really is the cowardice of the American soldiers. we had not anticipated this."
"the louts of colonialism."
"The forces of American colonialism began to drop containers that produce a sound explosion, a very huge sound. I remind you that they said that their strategy is based on shock and awe. Those failed ones manufactured a type of container that has an explosive substance, which they drop. They cause a very huge explosion in terms of sound, as if the universe was shaken. After a while, you go out and you don't find anything. You find some nails, screws, pieces of metal, but the important thing here is the sound. Those failed ones think that through the huge sound explosion, people would be shocked and consequently would collapse and be defeated. What happened? The contrary. The fighters..., the masses..., and the heroic sons of the Iraqi tribes discovered this game. They will turn it against the American louts so as to shock them. Wait for surprises, God willing, to see how the US game will fail."
"The shock has backfired on them. They are shocked because of what they have seen. No one received them with roses. They were received with bombs, shoes and bullets. Now, the game has been exposed. Awe will backfire on them. This is the boa snake. We will extend it further and cut it the appropriate way."
"It has been rumored that we have fired scud missiles into Kuwait. I am here now to tell you, we do not have any scud missiles and I don't know why they were fired into Kuwait."
"As for the mercenaries who advanced to the perimeters of Saddam International Airport, I would like to remind you of something. I will mention something that will make the picture clear for you and help you to understand what took place at Saddam International Airport. Most of you probably saw the American movie "Wag the Dog". I hope you remember it. Some of their acts that took place at dawn yesterday and today are similar to what happened in "Wag the Dog". If we succeed in keeping them isolated on that island, and we are determined to do so, we might let them taste a second mini Dien Bien Phu tonight. The European journalists remember it well. Our estimates are that none of them will come out alive unless they surrender to us quickly. They are completely surrounded now. This morning, the number of armoured personnel carriers that were destroyed, along with their occupants, is eight. The number of the tanks destroyed is 11."
"Tonight, we will do something unconventional against them. This means: not by the military. We will do something that I believe will become a pretty example for those mercenaries. I would not be giving out a secret when I say that action in the dark against such mercenaries is effective, not through the action of armies. I say that dropping down those mercenaries in a surprise fashion at Saddam Airport without accurate calculations is largely meant for showing things. It's a showy operation. It is a kind of surprise muscle flexing to the world to show it that the shock and awe operation is indeed successful. May they be accursed. Through this operation [shock and awe], they sent a number of their villains and mercenaries to be butchered. Again, and according to my early estimates, unless the remaining part of their soldiers surrender, the chance for their survival is very slim. The surprising thing is that after they threw their soldiers into a place where they are not aware of the real results, the villainous Americans, like Powell and the others, sat in Europe to discuss how to divide Iraq as spoils after the war [laughing]. This means what's post-war. The post-war [Iraq] will be the same current Iraq under the leadership of President Saddam Husayn."
"We will pursue them as war criminals. We will work with all the free people in the world, and they are many, who want someone to bell the cat [i.e.; to do a daring deed], and now we are belling the cat, according to the famous [Arabic] saying so as to rid the UN of those villains. After Iraq aborts the invasion that is being carried out by the American and British villains, the USA will no longer be a superpower. Its deterioration will be rapid. I say to those villains who are meeting in Europe, thinking of launching psychological war and brainwashing: wait. Do not be hasty because your disappointment will be huge. You will reap nothing from this aggressive war, which you launched on Iraq, except for disgrace and defeat. Iraq will continue to exist. Its civilization is 10,000 years old. It will not be changed by villains like the US and British villains."
"W. Bush, this man is a war criminal, and we will see that he is brought to trial"
"I think the British nation has never been faced with a tragedy like this fellow [Blair]."
"The United Nations....[is] a place for prostitution under the feet of
Americans."
"They are sick in their minds. They say they brought 65 tanks into center of city. I say to you this talk is not true. This is part of their sick mind."
"We have destroyed 50 tanks today. That 5-ohhh tanks" [while holding up his fingers]
"They are superpower of villains. They are superpower of Al Capone."
Americans are "wild donkeys" ['Alog' in Arabic]
"There are no Iraqis disguising themselves"
"I can assure you that those villains will recognize, will discover in appropriate time in the future how stupid they are and how they are pretending things which have never taken place"
"Iraqi fighters in Umm Qasr are giving the hordes of American and British mercenaries the taste of definite death. We have drawn them into a quagmire and they will never get out of it."
"What they say about a breakthrough [in Najaf] is completely an illusion. They are sending their warplanes to fly very low in order to have vibrations on these sacred places . . . they are trying to crack the buildings by flying low over them."
"We have crushed the whole force which dared to venture there. Now they're outside the wall and the heroic Republican Guard is now in control of the whole area. . . . So where are those villainous louts, those mercenaries?''
"Their forces committed suicide by the hundreds.... The battle is very fierce and God made us victorious. The fighting continues."
"Yesterday, we slaughtered them and we will continue to slaughter them."
"They think we are retarded - they are retarded."
"...crocodile tears [shed in] .. The gangster Bush's lair..." (refers to Bush and Blair at Camp David calling for the Geneva Conventions to be applied to all POWs)
"We're going to drag the drunken junkie nose of Bush through Iraq's desert, him and his follower dog Blair...There are 26 million Saddams in Iraq"
"We will push those crooks, those mercenaries back into the swamp"
"When we were making the law, when we were writing the literature and the mathematics the grandfathers of Blair and little Bush were scratching around in caves like animals"
"They will come and we will slap them about the head and then kick them on their backsides when they leave"
About Bush: "the leader of the international criminal gang of bastards."
"the insane little dwarf Bush"
About Bush and Rumsfeld: "Those only deserve to be hit with shoes."
"Bush is a very stupid man. The American people are not stupid, they are very clever. I can't understand how such clever people came to elect such a stupid president."
"Whenever we attack, they retreat. When we pound them with missiles and heavy artillery, they retreat even deeper. But when we stopped pounding, they pushed to the airport for propaganda purposes.''
Any apparent American gains, he said, were a cunning ploy by the Iraqis to lure the enemy into a trap. "Our armed forces, according to their tactics, are leaving the way open"
"The capital, especially the commandos, are getting ready to wipe them out"
"We are surrounding them and pounding them. The whole trend has changed and we are going to finalize this very soon.''

Tonight on ChrisCam: It's The 2nd Annual New Year's Eve Party. Starting around 7pm Eastern, we'll have one cam set up in one room for your viewing pleasure. Why just one cam in one room you ask? Well, we have to be sensitive to guest wishes, naturally. Not too sure what yall will see, but who knows what will happen.

Merry Christmas! First off, I want to say that yes I know the ChrisCam Portal is down and has been for about a month. I also know that when it was up, the little magic key barely functioned. Luckily I have a brand new Dell with much more power than the previous one. Soon the database for the site will be running someplace that can support it and the ChrisCam Portal will return.

I took some time out
I took some time out from election night to tune into HBO to watch "Journey's with George." It was a documentary shot by a reporter who spent the entire campaign of 2000 with GW. While I have always liked the man for his character and admired the fact that he believes what he says, I think I'm now more fascinated by the guy's personality. Sorta ironic. I never really thought of George W Bush as a man who could charm the pants off of anybody he wanted, but this documentary (the 29 year old who filmed it is a registered Democrat and daughter of a Democratic Congresswoman) demonstrated to me that the man's real personality is much more interesting than his convictions. In fact, if it is possible to do, I believe he showed in this film that he could turn on the charm to Clintonian levels. But beyond that, he actually showed that he's not as dumb as I thought he was. It was insightful, revealing and I really, really recommend it for everybody.

INTRODUCING AUDIBLE STREAM! Okay. So y'all have to try this out. You can now listen to Intermittent Stream! Yes, utilizing VoiceXML I have deployed my little blog to the real world. How do you listen? It's easy! Just dial 1-800-555-TELL. Wait for the main menu. Enter 1-29650 or just say "Extension" then "29650." It's so damn cool.

Man I'm hating Netscape. The
Man I'm hating Netscape. The irony is, I once championed that browser over the immature IE. Sadly, the latter is now more mature and Microsoft scores another devestating blow against diversity by destroying the competition. Ay me.
C
C
I also noticed this morning
I also noticed this morning that none of the links in the Intermittent Stream are clickable in Netscape. This is because the html for this journal is in a different layer than the rest of the page. It's almost as if none of us here tested ChrisCam in a Netscape browser! But that couldn't be, could it? Since Netscape and IE handle layers differently, you can't click any of the links I've been putting up over the weeks. Those of you with Netscape must have been scratching your heads saying "This sure doesn't work." Well we're gonna fix all those pesky Netscape quirks on these pages with the next update.
C
Ah. I noticed that some
Ah. I noticed that some of you are using Netscape. In preparation for the new content, some of the javascripts were removed and replaced (like the one that scrolls the OmniMenu for example). In Netscape, an HTML page won't load if the browser cannot find every little script associated with the page. You would, for example, get a message that looked something like "Error 404. js/drift.js not found". That's cause the brand new smooth menu scroller is named something else. So there.
C
I was gonna wait for
I was gonna wait for the next website update (due sometime very soon, right my little helpers?) before putting this little goody up, but since it's Valentine's Day in nature, I can't wait any longer. Just in time for Valentine's 2001, but also great fun on any other day, it's the Discarded Hearts randomizer! Ever wanted to send somebody one of those little candy hearts with just the right phrase? Well now you can! Just launch the Discarded Hearts toy and click Refresh until you get just the message you want. Invite all your friends over and show them how you really feel!

Why offline you ask? Well
Why offline you ask? Well for the next 24 hours or so we'll be celebrating ChrisCam World HQ DefragDay. Norton Antivirus will be scanning my beauties' hard drives for the next day or so in an attempt to prevent you commie pinko bastards from infecting my lovely computers with viruses and trojans and such. Simultaneously, Defrag will be rearranging the info on my girl's disks into logical blocks of data (although how much logic will be involved is still up in the air since I refer to my machines as "she"). Basically I'm at 50% fragmentation and nothing is working. So take that.

slight problem today at chriscam
slight problem today at chriscam global hq. seems a certain animal was schlepping around (or was being chased around by a certain other animal) and tripped the on/off toggle on the power strip supplying electricity to the cable modem and main ethernet hub. sadly this had the effect of disabling the firewall and webserver here in the apartment and thus there were no webcam images for most of the day today. oh well. as if it mattered anyway since i was at work all day and then went out for happy hour with the coworkers. speaking of which i had a beer and some margarita tonight. that's the most alcohol i've had in a month. i could feel it, man. the killian's went straight to my head. the margarita gave me an ice-cream headache. but that's all good. we had a blast tonight and i'm feeling pretty good for once. awww, isn't that nice?

i checked out the mob nickname generator. my mob handle is "the quill" and i plan to use it all the time. everyone must now refer to me as "the quill." chris "the quill" tiberius is also acceptable. i think it's perfect for me! it implies that if i were part of an organized crime cell i'd be the intellectual guy who always ends up being a consigliare. i wanna make you a deal. the quill here will take care of you, johnny knuckles. just don't be on the wrong side when it comes time to show your respect. yeah i like that. let the quill take care of it.

did that last post generate
did that last post generate email! king tut! some took offense at my comments, others cheered them and of course some people just didn't get it. no i'm not getting tired of the webcam, i simply go through weekly or monthly phases where i just don't want to deal with it. no i don't think everyone watching the cam is a freak. yes i do think i have a right to be in control of my life (which is why i haven't deployed viewer-controlled webcams in my apartment). as for that one person that requested i email them those pictures i mentioned in the last post, no i will not. y'all need to have a good read of my philosophy on webcams and sex and naked webcam people. first go buy my book and read it at webcamstar.com and then go listen to "ugly fat asses" in the daimonion section of the website. or just click here. you'll need real player to listen. and no i'm not live from boston anymore, so don't ask.

it's time for viewer mail.
it's time for viewer mail. sandra asks "where have you been lately? i don't often see you on the cam." good question sandra. i go through phases, as anybody does, where i don't want to deal with anything. this can include housework, reading email, cleaning my bathroom counter, chatting, being on the cam, etc. if the camera is pointed at the chair or at the lamp, it doesn't mean i'm not sitting just outside the view of the cam. it generally means that i simply don't want to be watched at that moment. typically i'll leave the camera there until i feel otherwise. this means that if i move the camera after work today, it will stay pointed at the lamp all evening and all day tomorrow until i get home from work again and decide whether i feel like camming. if not, the cam stays pointed at the lamp. now, the bigroomcam is always showing most of the room. i can't really avoid it, even when i'm naked. which by the way, thank you all for sending in those marvelous pictures of me making dinner in my boxers the other day. you freaks. i already know what i look like in boxers. i mean, why the hell send me pictures of it? i'm already vain enough. shit.
