  • Apparently, every other program on my compy needed to update today, I keep having to restart this thing.

    Hooray for appreciation of glasses.

    JZ: The second Tuesday of every month, Microsoft releases a load of patches for all their stuff. They call it "Patch Tuesday", but usually it's late enough in the day that the "must restart now" frustration comes on Wednesday.

    ^The true delicacy for any child of the '90s. Only the kool kidz had their parties at Chuck E. Cheese.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    it was in the 80s too
  • Living tissue over endoskeleton.
    The 1990's were a time when the world was composed largely of squiggly neon green triangles.

    You know what's hilarious in retrospect? All the toy pickup trucks I had as a kid that had bright neon yellow and green and pink all over them.

    Let's take something stereotypically masculine, like a pickup truck, and slather it in the most flamboyant colors we can think of!

    Why not?

    Oh, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it. It's just amusing that there was a time when covering toy trucks with sparkly bright glitter was the norm.

    For some reason a lot of my Hot Wheels in the '90s had glitter on them. I never did understand that; I always preferred the 2000s ones that looked like actual car finishes.

    When I woke up today, I couldn't open my eyes or move my fingers for a few minutes.

    Is there such thing as a comfortable And I Must Scream situation? 

    If so, I have been in it.

    So with the switch to semesters our student parking passes cost $35 instead of $25.

    My first inclination was to complain about this, but then I realized that $35 (Autumn) + $35 (Spring) is only $70, whereas $25 (Autumn) + $25 (Winter) + $25 (Spring) is $75 for the same amount of weeks.

    So, oddly, this is the one area where they've used the semester switch to give us a break, whereas everything else costs more than under quarters.

    Also, are you going to go back to your real account? You can, you know.

    I feel that I should know more about 1990s "cool" graphic design, aside from the popularity of certain Emigre typefaces (e.g. Template Gothic, Dead History).

    once there was a boy with big puffy hair who loved meatloaf a lot

    so he put the lerftovers in his pillowcase

    that night a buzzard flew into the house and tried to eat the meatloaf

    trashed the whole house

    and do you know who that boy grew up to be

    This much I'm certain of: it doesn't happen immediately. You'll finish
    and that will be that, until a moment will come, maybe in a month, maybe
    a year, maybe even several years. You'll be sick or feeling troubled or
    deeply in love or quietly uncertain or even content for the first time
    in your life. It won't matter. Out of the blue, beyond any cause you can
    trace, you'll suddenly realize things are not how you perceived them to
    be at all. For some reason, you will no longer be the person you
    believed you once were. You'll detect slow and subtle shifts going on
    all around you, more importantly shifts in you. Worse, you'll realize
    it's always been shifting, like a shimmer of sorts, a vast shimmer, only
    dark like a room. But you won't understand why or how. You'll have
    forgotten what granted you this awareness in the first place



    You might try then, as I did, to find a sky so full of stars it will blind you again.
    Only no sky can blind you now. Even with all that iridescent
    magic up there, your eye will no longer linger on the light, it will no
    longer trace constellations. You'll care only about the darkness and
    you'll watch it for hours, for days, maybe even for years, trying in
    vain to believe you're some kind of indispensable, universe-appointed
    sentinel, as if just by looking you could actually keep it all at bay.
    It will get so bad you'll be afraid to look away, you'll be afraid to
    sleep.

    Then no matter where you are, in a crowded restaurant or
    on some desolate street or even in the comforts of your own home, you'll
    watch yourself dismantle every assurance you ever lived by. You'll
    stand aside as a great complexity intrudes, tearing apart, piece by
    piece, all of your carefully conceived denials, whether deliberate or
    unconscious. And then for better or worse you'll turn, unable to resist,
    though try to resist you still will, fighting with everything you've
    got not to face the thing you most dread, what is now, what will be,
    what has always come before, the creature you truly are, the creature we
    all are, buried in the nameless black of a name.

    And then the nightmares will begin.
  • And so the snow fell

    And covered up poetry.

    And so the snow fell

    And covered up cities like bags of leaves.

    And so the snow fell

    and covered up an architectrure.

    And so the snow fell

    and covered our friends.

    And so the snow fell

    and covered up one red orange sexual flower.

    And so the snow fell

    and covered the clear watertowers, the windows and the doors.

    And so the snow fell

    and covered up the fire and a house within.

    And so the snow fell

    and fell on their fallen trees.

    And oh the snow fell

    And covered up the photographs of snow.

    And so the snow fell

    And covered up even passing clouds.

  • Where now? Who now? When now? Unquestioning. I, say I. Unbelieving.
    Questions, hypotheses, call them that. Keep going, going on, call
    that going, call that on.


    (Can it be that one day, off it goes on, that one day I simply stayed
    in, in where, instead of going out, in the old way, out to spend a day
    and night as far away as possible, it wasn't far. Perhaps that is how
    it began. You think you are simply resting, the better to act when the
    time comes, or for no reason, and you soon find yourself powerless ever
    to do anything again. No matter how it happened. It, say it, not
    knowing what?)




    ...I shall not be alone, in the beginning. I am of course alone.
    Alone. That is soon said. Things have to be soon said. And how can
    one be sure, in such darkness?

  • Alright, I have a chance to get a shiny new laptop, but I have to decide on what brand I want in a matter of hours.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
    I can't really help you out too much, but I used to have a Toshiba laptop and my current one is an ASUS. They both worked pretty well.

    Compaq sucks, don't get one of their laptops.

    ...That's about all I've got. But it's important information!

    Unless I misread that and you were saying PPG had terrorism, which, given the actions of some of the villains I guess I'd have to agree.

    My current and previous laptops are both Asus. It's a good brand.

    For some reason I have vivid memories of 3rd grade...whenever we'd have indoor recess (usually because it was raining) the teacher would turn on the classroom TV and try to turn it to "the Cartoon Network"--she always included the article for some reason--and she'd spend like 5 minutes flipping through all the cable channels before we told her she'd found the right one.

    As an owner of a Nexus 7, I can vouch for Asus.

    Yeah, my current laptop's an Asus. Thinking of going outside the brand though. There's this Dell laptop that I found with similar specs and a better battery life. It's also lighter than this Heavy Lourde of a laptop I have now.
  • Yarr: Yeah, I can see wanting something lighter. My current one is a bit heavy, but not too bad. The previous one was a monster. I'd get backaches even if it was the only thing in my bag. That what I get for taking my brother's old compy.

    I honestly believe that the only sane people who would vote for Romney don't know anything about him.

    There's the fact that Massachusetts made him governor, and this is probably the most left-wing state in the entire union which gave us the Kennedys, that idiot Kerry, and Dukakis. Maybe it was his lack of scandals that the three mentioned before were completely wallowed in

    As far as I know, the Romneybot 2012 purged all Liberalism out of its system when it ran the appeal to the base sub-routine in 2011.
