I’m liking the look of the new start menu. Much cleaner than tiles. I never used live tiles, so losing that functionality is meaningless. The only thing that still irks me, is the fact you can’t move the taskbar to the top. My muscle memory is getting used to the bottom, but my eyes don’t like it.

Apropos of nothing, my favourite expletive and emphatic expressions include, but are not necessarily limited to:

Sweet fancy Moses.

Some stunned.

Fuck me.

The objectivity of the press and why we should really give that a good, long think.

Still one of my favourite single line moments in film.

I’m just tired enough to admit that for some reason that I do not know, I used to think huevos rancheros was testicles.

After all these years, the login for my university website still works. Most unanticipated - as was the fact I still remember my student ID number.

When I was little I used to think “clandestine” meant “casual”. Don’t ask me why.

Whenever I have to test my computer’s audio after whatever fucking around I’ve fucked around with, this is the video I use. One of my very favourite things in the whole wide world is going to his shows and hearing this live.

My iaito (2.45 shaku), with dark teal maki and sageo. I practice MSR Iaido.

I wonder how many calories you can burn chair dancing.

One of the best days ever was the day I learned about server-side includes.

That time I made my own version of the Four Noble Truths (over 20 years ago).

Shit happens.

You will feel something about the shit.

It is your choice how you react to, and because of, the shit.

No shit, good or bad, lasts forever.

Every once in a while I have to pose the greatest philosophical question known to man, and I will keep doing it until I get a satisfactory answer.

How easy do you have to be, to be easy like a Sunday morning?

I was just thinking about #BlazingSaddles and that line “You use your tongue purdier than a $20 whore.” I have questions.

Just exactly how much was a whore in the time period that film depicts?

(research)

Could demand up to $50 apparently, but most on the frontier were between $1 (or less) and $5.

People holding on to the status quo with the grit of their teeth just don’t want to do the work. They just can’t be arsed, and will fight like the devil AGAINST having to fight FOR something.

I was binge-watching #VeronicaMars and the same thing occurred to me that occurs to me every time I watch it - what’s with all the markedly coloured glass or coloured light through it? In her home, Keith’s office, the high school, Logan’s hotel room, the college. It’s everywhere.

If any creative types are bored and looking for something to fill their time, I posted some things on my blog today - new and reworked old stuff. Fun times. Make arts.

I am tickled by the fact that the taxi app changed all the car icons to sleighs.

In honour of yesterday being the 41st anniversary of the last time I went to confession, I’d like to confess that it took me an embarrassingly long time to realise just what Grace Jones meant by “pull up to the bumper”, “long, black limousine”, and “slide it in between”.

In honour of yesterday being the 42nd anniversary of the last time I went to confession, I’d like to confess that it took me an embarrassingly long time to realise just what Grace Jones meant by “pull up to the bumper”, “long, black limousine”, and “slide it in between”.

I’m very rarely wrong. I think the wrongest I’ve been in recent memory, was the time I thought using chocolate milk in coffee instead of regular milk or cream, would be like making mocha.

I was wrong about that. It did not do that.

I may have passed the test for being human. My doctor told me on Monday that I have a soul.

Verified by a medical professional!

I wonder what the evolutionary purpose of the human chin is.

The owner of the variety store is a nice guy, but not chatty, and always seemingly aloof. When he came to the counter to check me out he had the same cool face - until he saw I was wearing a keffiyeh. The instant change in his manner was dramatic. It completely softened, and he struck up a chat. :)

Apropos of nothing, my favourite loud songs include, but are not necessarily limited to:

Gary Numan - Are Friendss Electric? (Hope Bleeds version) Gang of Four - To Hell With Poverty Fugazi - Waiting Room Stiff Little Fingers - Suspect Device Led Zeppelin - Nobody’s Fault But Mine
