poll from marm0t

The idea is to pick a musical artist and then answer questions with that artist’s lyrics.

1. Band/Singer:

Richard Thompson

2. Are you male or female?

I’m an old man inside a young man.

3. Describe yourself:

A man is like a rusty wheel on a rusty cart; he sings his song as he rattles along and then he falls apart.

4. How do other people feel about you?

Why don’t you grow up, why don’t you settle down
Why don’t you get a job, why don’t you leave town

5. How do you feel about yourself?

Who’s gonna cure the heart of a man in need?

6. Describe the person you love, like, lust after.

Salty girl with the yellow hair, waiting in that rocking chair.

7. What would you rather be doing?

If I were a butterfly, live for a day, I could be free, just blowing away.

8. Describe where you live

Paper ships and painted faces, the world’s no place when you’re on your own.

9. Describe how you feel about love:

Love is bad for business.

10. Share a few words of wisdom

Life seems so rosy in the cradle, but I’ll be a friend, i’ll show you what’s in store. There’s nothing at the end of the rainbow; there’s nothing to grow up for any more.

Angelic

I’m starting to organize my pics from the trip, and here’s the first post. In a Cracker Barrel restaurant in Virginia, while waiting for my table, I found this Angel Doll Thing (.AVI video, 3 meg).

Sadly the video is 90 degrees rotated to the left because I shot it vertical and I dunno how to fix that easily because I am a Video Moron.

Hours of fun, including full MP3 tutorials. Apparently people have been using this language to defend themselves in court cases, with predicable results.

the ignatz effect

The “ignat z effect” can be summarized as follows:

No matter what job I take, I eventually find myself in the soft porn/pinup industry. This included my short tenure at The Romp, a humor site for frat boys without a sense of humor, for example.

The current employer is a provider of sports news, so with the exception of our Anna Kournikova exploitation package it has been pretty mild. Until we got this. Work safe, folks, just very very cheesy.

And I don’t like pinups or pr0n. Not one little bit. It makes me wince. I wince a lot.

Semiautomatic or adjustable zeitgeist clamp

I note that other journalers have detailed their entire Holiday Experience. This is Real Work so I won’t do it. I present highlights below:

  • A Brazil moment: watching an Orange County Sheriff’s Deputy search people with a dog in the airport terminal while “The March of the Tin Soldiers” from The Nutcracker played on the muzak.
  • I saw the birthplace of the monster truck in Kitty Hawk, NC.
  • I ate at the Iron Chef’s restaurant in Philadelphia and it was horribly horribly expensive and worth every penny. I recommend Morimoto absolutely.
  • My family is only medium dysfunctional so I had a pretty good time with them back East. They’ve figured out that I’m less psychotic if I get lots of time to myself.
  • New Year’s Eve was spent just hanging out and talking with friends, not much alcohol, lots of conversation, and a very nice relaxing time for me anyway.
