Hey ice machine! You cut me.

“It’s exactly the same kind of vibrator as the one I melted last time!”

This anxiety+ADD+depression thing really fucking sucks. Can I go back to plain old depression now?

Where the hell did chaptal go and bring him back. Chop-chop.

I paused to consider today how rich I am, in the global scheme of things, and got very embarrassed.

My career in technology has jumped the shark.

the bum at D’s tonight had SLOW DOWN, I AM RIDING written on the back of his shirt and was playing his harmonica with a straw

I think it’s time for the drug dealers upstairs to go.

What’s your favorite song right now?

CNN Says Won’t Renew Contract Of ‘Crossfire’ Host Carlson

NEW YORK (AP)–Cable News Network on Wednesday told conservative pundit Tucker Carlson that it won’t be renewing his contract to co-host its “Crossfire” political debate program.

CNN will probably fold “Crossfire” into its other programming, perhaps as an occasional segment on the daytime show “Inside Politics,” said Jonathan Klein, who was appointed in late November as chief executive of CNN’s U.S. network.
flawless victory

BLINGUE BLINGUE! It’s the Humm DeVille!

I’m so glad our boys are over there protecting our WAY of LIFE.

Item! the other day I was tailgated in heavy rain at 70+ miles per hour by a crazy jerk. I slowed to force him to pass me, and as he did so I noted that he was driving a new bright red Monte Carlo covered with stickers, most notably a Von Dutch sticker.

Item! Les is gonna die.

Item! SBC repaired my dead phone line. This involved the large man with the beard confusing and then terrifying my cat, drilling a hole in the wall, almost falling off his ladder, and telling me a lot of things about slot cars.

Item! I’m still foundering and/or floundering at my job and other tasks. What the fledermaus is wrong with me?

Item! this is a generic item about the six apart livejournal merger rumor! Because everyone else has one.

Item! I will die alone.

Addendum: I now have four days off in a row. If I disappear for a while I’m not dead, I’m just moseying.

We are, once again, DOOMED.

At first glance it looks like an ordinary restaurant restroom sign, reminding the employees of their sanitary obligations. But someone disagrees:

With what? That’s for you to say

If your ship is sinking very slowly, you may not be constantly reminded of the problem, but periodically you’ll see that the water is higher, and the list is more pronounced, and things are a bit slower. But it’s so slow! You forget that it’s a continuous process, and hallucinate stability.

The progress of my life is like this. Every day I get a bit further from what I need, and a bit closer to death, and every day it gets a little bit harder to win the game.

Forty meant more than other ages because I’m that joke about loser guys: the lonely 40-year-old. I’m doomed to failure because I failed in the past, and I don’t get any do-overs. The people around me by contrast make me Malvolio, Cyrano, Aqualung.

From the bridge I can see the deck boards starting to float a bit, and the running lights are flickering.

I want out, but there’s nowhere to go.

Why I was trying to get the Dragons LP: Get Off My Cloud (Excerpt) 100 kilobyte mp3.

Someone did have a .wav excerpt file which I MP3’d. Enjoy.

These guys heard rock ‘n’ roll music over the shortwave radio and came up with their own band, mixing Chinese instruments and Western ones. When the LP comes I’ll rip it from vinyl to mp3.
