Oldish. Pretty vanilla in color and flavor, but hopefully an ally? "Lentrohamsanin" from Metafilter, to give that contingent a marker. Michigandroid. He/him
Oh nevermind, they do student interviews on Fridays. I forgot.
SANS Internet Stormcast, a daily security update podcast, just downloaded and it's 13 minutes today. Usually it's 5 to 7 minutes. I scared.
It was taking a long time to blow dry my hair this morning. Finally realized I had been done for a while, but was waiting for an automatic shut off to kick in. Hope that doesn't set the cognitive tone for the day.
A half of extra sleep equalled two hours of energy and activity this morning. Learn, brain, learn.
Sneezed while I had my headphones around my neck and think I bruised the soft tissue under my chin. It's a novel form of self-harm, I guess.
Zoviet France's "A Duck in a Tree" podcast is fabulous. Gorgeous weird soundscapes every week.
Ring modulate the tone of my life until it's distorted into something worth giving a damn about. Prepare me with shims and bolts and screws to fix the timbre of my personality. Feed me with impossible piano rolls until I can keep up. Unfix this shit.
it's rare that a Frank Zappa song gets stuck in my head anymore, but "Society Pages" has been playing in there for about two hours now.
Today: watched a bunch of Galaxy Express 999, worked out, made tamarind chutney, and played like a million hours of Torment: Tides of Numenera. Yin and yang y'all.
On DuckDuckGo it's Omaha Steaks, and then a bunch of terms related to the city. So confirmed: Google knows I like pervert comics and has tweaked my search results accordingly.
How well Google knows me can be judged by a search for "Omaha". First autocomplete is "steaks" (nope). Second autocomplete is "the Cat Dancer" (yup). The actual Nebraskan city wasn't anywhere in the list (also an accurate reflection of my interests).
I need to listen to the Internet Storm Center's short daily podcast about digital security more often. it's good to be horrified by an unfixed or unfixable vulnerability at least once per day.
No wait, I saw THE FISH THAT SAVED PITTSBURGH the year before. Although 5 year old me might have liked that one, my memory is vague.
I just remembered seeing "The Girl, The Gold Watch & Everything" when it came out and I was 6. I think it's my first memory that art could be terrible.
My lil toe buddy is very sleepy tonight. Makes a change from last night when he was beating up his brother.
The universe keeps giving me reminders that The Proclaimers existed. Apparently God's great plan for me is "You should bust out your old copy of 'Sunshine on Leith'".
Seems trifling.
Also pretty sure I sold it.
Sorry God.
Waiting to give blood at work. Answering "no" to all the potential deferral reasons always reminds me what a deeply boring person I am. Never been to Europe OR juvie.
Finally read Neil Gaiman's Miracleman stories. The problem with them is that they were written as an interlude between Alan Moore's stuff and a planned longer story arc, so they're a bit slight and deal with perspectives away from the main drivers of the plot. Also, they're all about the question "how would normal everyday people deal with these science fictional events?" which is hard for me to warm up to. The Warhol one was fun though. And Mark Buckingham's art is great.
every good joke i've ever come up with has been immediately followed by a mild panic attack about where i could've subconsciously stolen it from
Feel like this is the first time I've breathed since early this morning. There's nothing I like about the pace of this day so far.
