I only remember this because they passed some law banning discrimination against transgender people and I got all jealous, even though I didn't identify at trans at the time and why am I rambling about this
And yes Miijhal does live there. She doesn't like me very much, though. Even if she did, I don't know where there she lives. So visiting is unfortunately not a possibility.
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
Also I think WJZ-TV (the CBS O&O there) ran a story about a transwoman being murdered and I pointed out in the Trash Heap (not PYRT!) that they had ugly graphics.

"WJZ-TV" made me think of Jumpingzombie.
Also thinking about trans*-related issues is bittersweet to me, somehow

The "JZ" in that callsign means "Jersey" as in "New Jersey" (it got lifted from WJZ-AM-TV in Newark, NJ, which is now WABC-AM-TV in New York). After it fell into disuse, Westinghouse wanted it, so the FCC gave it to them.
How are they bittersweet?
(Also, some variation on the "purity" thoughts has crept into my rendering of WABC's AM and TV sides as WABC-AM-TV as they haven't been co-owned since 2007 AAAAHHHH.)

Well, it's like...I've finally figured out what I am...and yet I haven't done anything to pursue it.
[11:39:04 PM] Blixty Slycat: it's weird outside tonight, you guys
[11:39:13 PM] Alyssa Tsakir: What do you mean?
[11:39:30 PM] Blixty Slycat: I dunno,
[11:39:31 PM] Blixty Slycat: it's
[11:39:32 PM] Blixty Slycat: weird.
[11:39:49 PM] Blixty Slycat: The moon's really big in the sky and it's honestly not very...dark at all. The sky's more dark blue than anything.
[11:40:10 PM] Blixty Slycat: It's usually not this bright out this time of night, I mean it's almost midnight.
[11:40:31 PM] Blixty Slycat: And it's not like there's light pollution around here or anything. And I kept hearing windchimes outside even though no one in the neighborhood has any.
[11:40:54 PM] daltar: You might be in a strange dimension.
[11:41:10 PM] Alyssa Tsakir: Perhaps because we are approaching the spring equinox...if that has anything to do with anything
[11:41:13 PM] daltar: Like that in which anime protagonists fall all the time.
[11:41:27 PM] Blixty Slycat: I dunno, I certainly felt very anime-y if that makes any sense
[11:41:34 PM] Blixty Slycat: but looking out my window now, it looks normal.
[11:41:41 PM] Blixty Slycat: Same black it always is.
[11:42:06 PM] daltar: Aww the moment passed. Unless an anime girl with strange powers suddenly appears behind you.
[11:42:32 PM] Blixty Slycat: heh.
[11:42:33 PM] Blixty Slycat: I dunno.
[11:42:43 PM] Blixty Slycat: It's probably just my ever-lingering sense of childish naivete
[11:43:09 PM] Blixty Slycat: but every so often I get the feeling that if I had just stayed in a place a little longer, or held on to something I threw away, something awesome would've happened.
[11:43:11 PM] Blixty Slycat: but
[11:43:17 PM] Blixty Slycat: yeah, life doesn't work like that. Does it?
[11:44:06 PM] daltar: It appears not, but I'll never lose hope~
[11:44:41 PM] Blixty Slycat: I once had an almost perfectly spherical blue stone I found on the ground once.
[11:44:55 PM] Blixty Slycat: I held on to it for several weeks before my mom made me throw it away because it kept turning up all over the house.
[11:45:00 PM] Blixty Slycat: I wonder if there was anything weird about that stone.
[11:45:29 PM] Blixty Slycat: that's silly, of course
[11:45:37 PM] Blixty Slycat: but I can't help but think sometimes.
So anyway, I'm reading the Wikipedia article on the LRA because of the thing AH reblogged on his Tumblr, and I found this wonderful little turd in it:
On October 14, 2011,Rush Limbaugh, a political commentator, originally questioned the U.S. move against the LRA on the grounds that "Lord's Resistance Army are Christians. They are fighting the Muslims in Sudan. And Obama has sent troops, United States troops to remove them from the battlefield, which means kill them." "So that’s a new war, a hundred troops to wipe out Christians in Sudan, Uganda." Later, Limbaugh stated that he would research the group as he was made aware of accusations of their atrocities.[69]Contrary to this assertion, however, he later allowed the show's written transcript to be posted on his website under the title "Obama Invades Uganda, Targets Christians".[69][70][71]
God dammit, Rush, why are you doing this shit? This is not about your hate-boner for Obama, or the munchkin shit both major parties have done in the past, but about basic human decency.
So Google Music and the Android Market are officially one service now, by the name of Google Play.
I saw it coming. Google's been inching toward this for a while ever since the Android Market started selling music, books and movies, and using separate names for the entertainment stores makes no sense. Still, I'll miss the Android Market name a bit (it's been like that for yeeeears!) but the service is the same so it doesn't matter much.
If they expect me to say "Google Play Music", however, they're kidding themselves. I'll call it Google Music til my dying day and gosh-darn if they try to stop me.

So after two hours of streaming music non-stop my battery has gone from fully-charged to 75%.
I was gonna keep going till it died, but I'm pretty confident in calling the experiment done now because I can't imagine a scenario where I would want to stream Pandora longer than two hours and not have access to my actual computer.
The third entry in the Stuck series, "Stuck at the Wheel", returns to Greyson City one more time for a finale of epic proportions.
Tre Listman, a fairly intelligent high schooler with some common sensical problems, is not having a good week. Sure, him and his friends got out of their fake prison, but that was the easy part. Now they've got the whole (and real!) police force out to arrest them for a bank robbery they had nothing to do with, and as if that weren't bad enough, there's a big ol' bounty on their heads waiting for whoever can get to them first, and one guy in particular, a mysterious hooded ninja assassin guy known only as The Shadow, is especially on the hunt.
Can Tre and the Crew keep their heads straight amidst all this weirdness and find a way out of it? You can find out when "Wheel" hits bookshelves next eternity!
Presumably, the one with the hat and the red scarf and the two guns and the power to cloud the minds of men. Unless your Shadow also asks who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men.
Maybe I might make him ask like once in a contradictory way since he's, you know, the main villain dude guy that wants to kill the fake me that isn't really entirely like me anymore but still looks like me.
Gosh, I should read some pulps. I feel like the style'd be cool to explore during Episode Three.

So if AU and I ever get into a fight, I'll make up with him by showing up at his door with a guitar and singing a song about how I'm sorry and how much I value his companionship.
But instead of getting all lovey-dovey right after I finish singing, he'll call me out on miming the guitar, which he knew the whole time because I was fingering frets lower than the capo.
Then I'll say, "fine, you caught me. Come on out, man." And AU's favorite news music composer person will come around from the side of the apartment holding a guitar and he'll be like...well, this and then he'll forgive me.

Don't you get it, Imi? I used the capo incorrectly on purpose because it's exactly the kind of detail that AU would pick up on, thus enabling him to call me out and give me the opportunity to reveal the news guy.

However, I probably can't do it without caffeine, which I haven't got.

Well, six school days.
And yes Miijhal does live there. She doesn't like me very much, though. Even if she did, I don't know where there she lives. So visiting is unfortunately not a possibility.

I know it isn't related to this, but I had to get that off my chest.

I just felt like confessing that.

There's also lots of pulp collections, like The Mammoth Book of Pulp Action. Close to a thousand pages of pulpy-pulp.

Don't tempt me.
Also, CA, just don't use a fucking capo.
